Oooooooh, I almost forgot: Billy Squire - Everybody Wants You; The Stroke and pretty much all his songs!

Oh crud, Aerosmith - Angel is top 5 as well. My last girlfreind (who I thought for sure I was gonna marry), I slipped that CD/song into her CD player in her car while she was at work with roses. Lets say I got lucky

My favorites have to be "November Rain-Guns and Roses". Followed closely by "Sweet Dreams-Marilyn Manson (did the melody correctly)" and "Metallica-No Leaf CLover". Mess with us old guys.
 
Oooooooooooh, good ones Java! I would have mentioned Metallica as they were far and away my favorite band when I was younger. They still are Top 3. For Whom the Bell Tolls: when I first heard that song, I about craaped myself. Orion is also a fantastic instrumental.

November Rain is an all time favorite as well.

I remember when I first heard the guitar intro to that song back in 1986. Wow ... what a difference in heaviness from my current heavy metal selection of Iron Maiden, Judas Priest or AC/DC (whom the Metallica crowd called "bubblegum rock." heh.)
 
Yup! when I was younger, I could listen to that guitar intro for hours on end. I used to listen to that before track and cross country races to get pumped up.
 
I don't know how you guys can narrow it down. Lots of songs from a HUGE range of styles I like. Like some of the older country from the Johnny Cash stuff up to Garth or Tim Mcgraw EARLY in their careers.
Almost anything Metallica, the HARDER Nickleback stuff not the whiney **** like Photograph that gets WAY too much airtime. A lot of 80s stuff.
Current favorite is BuckCherry Crazy------ saved the forum censor software the trouble of censoring that

I couldn't narrow it down to specific songs but my favorite musical genre would be 70's and 80's Heavy Metal...
 
Interesting selections from you old fogies and young whippersnapppers. From one who is ageless, timeless, looking down upon ye mere mortals. Burp......

Here's a handy music site. Messgae board, input new albums, artists, rate and review albums, on-site database will compare you selections to others:

http://rateyourmusic.com/

obbop has 179 message board posts.

obbop contributed 243 artists and 1,195 albums to the public database.

Sumpthin' to do in the spare time when it's 10-below or pouring down rain, etc.

I enjoy the site a couple hours weekly... lot's to learn, too, since the discograpy for many of the artists is very complete: LPs, CDs, 45 rpm records, bootlegs, etc.
 
ToyotaNsaturn....thanks for that. I haven't visited Neil's site in a while. HOPEFULLY they will be touring next summer and get their rears to Dallas or OKC. Really glad to hear that they are putting together one more album...
THANKS DUDE!!!!!
 
Schmoe, and from what Neil wrote, sounds like it's going to be a top-notch offering. Neil thought highly of Grace Under Pressure, and rightly so, as it's one of their deepest albums. Hopfully we'll hear a dozen deep songs. One of those releases where you don't take the CD out of the car's CD player for months on end...

And in all candor, I need something to challenge me behind the old drum kit. So much music today offers nothing that is challenging anymore. Nuanced, perhaps, but not challenging. Well, some Dream Theater, but that's about it.
 
Pretty much anything by Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Stevie Ray Vaughan or Robin Trower, plus many, many more. Too many to list and I don't have a few favorites.

Recently saw Trower at the BB King club in NYC, the gig that was simulcast on XM Satellite Radio - pure magic.
 
For my first post, I want to add a few of my all time favorites in no particular order:

That was a good song. Haven't heard for a long time ... I suspect the only station around this area that might play it would be KISM in Bellingham or KZOK in Seattle.
 
Any of the old classic country before it became "politically correct," and pretty much any Staind.
