Your top twenty tracks? Can you do it?

1. The Fountain Of Salmacis - Genesis
2. Bat Out Of Hell - Meatloaf

Nice list Sal, I could easily have posted that one myself, with one or two changes...

I like to see fans breaking out of the box and going beyond any genres in which they mught have straightjacketed themselves. Therefore, seeing "Suspicious Minds" in the list Salmacis posted made me smile.

Mr. Shadow:

Any list including tunes by Spirit and Nice is first rate in my book!

Suspicious Minds is there for good memories. I remember on my trip to England 4 months ago, being rather tipsy at a Blackpool hotel show, and the premier comedian sung it at the end. So there I was, (with half my family watching) singing and dancing along to it, knowing all the words and having the time of my life. I've since gained a reputation as an Elvis Impersonator

And I just realised I completely missed Pink Floyd! Echoes gets an honourable mention.

I am envious of anyone that can make a clear and defined list of their top 10 or top 20 songs of all time. My tastes are the same, but my favorites jump around depending on mood. I have a hard time finding a top 5 of many of the artists that I really like. To combine all songs by all artists and have a definitite list?

grats to all of you that can do it

 

[Sox]

20 I really like ...
