[43021HST]

Most men like a good top 10 ,espicially as most people on here trainspotters we like to categorise things even more. Anyway what are your favourite top 10 songs. (I'm sure we've had a thread like this in the past but who cares)

Anyway my top 10 songs:

1. The Trashmen - Surfin Bird
2. The Cramps - Surfin Bird
3. The Ramones - Surfin Bird
4. Dead Kennedys - Jock o Rama
5. Sex Pistols - Friggin in the Riggin
6. Dead Kennedys - Viva Las Vegas
7. The Trashmen - Bird Bath
8. Deep Purple - Highway Star
9. Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast (This song I always associate with HSTs for some reason)
10. Pink Floyd - In the Flesh

Also worthy of note is that I like anything from the 50s, but I dont have a particular favourite because they all sound good.

[theblackwatch]

Giorgio Moroder - Together in Electric Dreams
Human League - Don't you want me baby
Kim Wilde - Kids in America
Madonna - True Blue
Pet Shop Boys - Go West

My list tends to vary a lot from day to day, but this should be a fairly accurate guide to my top-10...
I've limited myself to one from each band though, otherwise it'd be full of nothing but BAL-SAGOTH!

2. Enslaved - Nidingslakt,
3. Ensiferum - Slayer Of Light,
4. Thyrfing - From Wilderness Came Death,

7. Fear Factory - Replica,
8. Korpiklaani - Wooden Pints,
9. Spineshank - Play God (A perfect one for HST bashing!),
10. Type O Negative - Angry Inch.

People might be able to see why I always wander into the vestibule before turning my MP3 player on now!

That would make a nice change from the usual crap

 

[Broken Viking]

I wish I could afford to go as well, as that'd be a damn awesome gig!
Sadly though, I can never afford the prices promoters charge for 'Maiden gigs...The only time I've seen them live so far was at Wacken 2008CE! ad:

Aye indeed, and we've all been faced by those Bloody annoying "bankers" (And IME: Stock brokers and hedge-fund investors can be even worse! ) who insist on playing the most inane crap on their players at full volume whilst sat in the quiet coach!

That said, I know that many people don't like what I listen to either...And even if my particular flavour of music was the stuff normally played on commercial radio stations (Which most people don't seem to mind) I'd still move into the vestibule on account of the volume settings that I use.

After all: I'd rather take myself away from other passengers and thoroughly enjoy my journey through listening to my stuff at full-blast...Not only does it save those other passengers from having to listen to what I'm listening to, it's just good manners IMO!

Thats because Stock brokers and Hedge investors, are inane crap, there music just represents themselves.

Quoted for truth.

 

[4SRKT]

Ooh, a lovely list to get all anal over!

1) Throwing Muses: Hate My Way (far and away my favourite ever)
2) Husker Du: Celebrated Summer
3) Joy Division: Atmosphere
4) The Sisters of Mercy: Marian
5) New Order: Temptation
6) Dead Kennedys: Holiday in Cambodia
7) The Cult: She Sells Sanctuary (gotta get a bit of local Bradford colour in there!)
8) Led Zeppelin: Goin' To California
9) Sonic Youth: Teenage Riot
10) The Rolling Stones: Gimme Shelter

Spot the man who's just turned 40 who cast the occasional glance back to the past during his youth!

why not just mention Phil Collins by name ?!:roll:

 

[class156]

In no particular order,

1. Rise Against - Paper Wings
2. Slipknot - Psycosocial
3. Disturbed - Stricken
4. Bob Marley - Buffalo Soldier
5. Avenged Sevenfold - Bat Country
6. Rise Against - Hero of War
7. Eminem - One Shot Two Shot
8. Killswitch Engage - Holy Diver
9. Linkin Park - Somewhere I Belong
10. Slipknot - Wait and Bleed

None of these can beat a 37 on full thrash as I found out on saturday (I always thought they were overrated.)

 

[sprinterguy]

As with others on this thread, ten favourite songs isn’t nearly enough to do justice to my musical interests, but here goes, in no particular order:

Alestorm-Over the Seas
Leatherat-Short Time on Earth
Fairport Convention-Heart of the Song
Jethro Tull-Clasp
Joe Satriani-A Train of Angels
John Petrucci-Glasgow Kiss
Iron Maiden-The Wickerman
Black Sabbath-Heaven & Hell
Nightwish-She is my Sin
Ozzy Osbourne-Bark at the Moon

 

[martinsh]

Well, I’ve got it down to 10, but it will probably change from day to day – though the top 3 will always be the same

1. Poco – Rose Of Cimarron
2. The Eagles – The Last Resort
3. Buffalo Springfield – Expecting To Fly
4. Van Morrison – Across The Bridge Where Angels Dwell
5. Hothouse Flowers – Isn’t It Amazing
6. Mitrokhins Master Band – Chardash / Black Eyes
7. Bruce Springsteen – The River
8. Emory Quinn – Straight Through Me
9. Poco – Ride The Country
10. John Stewart – Mother Country

And anyone who has more than 3 songs by the same artist in their list needs to expand their musical horizons !

 

[mumrar]

I'm going to have to really try and think hard about this, and it may end up getting edited.

1. Out of Space - The Prodigy
2. Stan - Eminem
3. Clubbed to Death - Rob Dougan
4. November Rain - Guns N Roses
5. Second Rendez-vous - Jean Michel Jarre
6. The Power - Snap!
7. Adagio for Strings - Samuel Barber
8. Bombtrack - Rage Against the Machine
9. Setting Sun - Chemical Brothers
10. Beat 'Dis - Bomb the Bass

Like I say, probably not definitive, as there are so many songs that I like.

I could however easily answer the question of my two favourite albums of all time -

1. Experience - The Prodigy
2. Exit Planet Dust - The Chemical Brothers

 

[Broken Viking]

None of these can beat a 37 on full thrash as I found out on saturday (I always thought they were overrated.)

*Ahem*...I reckon ye might find the sound of the Immortal BAL-SAGOTH more enjoyable than even a 37 at top whack...
</OverExcessiveBalSagothFanboyism>

And anyone who has more than 3 songs by the same artist in their list needs to expand their musical horizons!

That puts me in a bit of a spot then...My aggregate top 60 tracks are all by the same Black Metal group! hock:

That said, I still listen to many different artists and varying genres. Even though my main flavour of the moment happens to be Epic Scandanavian Metal (Bands like many of those in my list up-thread) a brief list of other stuff that I have listened to recently includes

• Trad. Punk (NoFX, The Exploited)
• Trad. Goth (Sisters of Mercy)
• Modern romantic Goth* (Nightwish, Evanescence)
  * - This association with Goth is, however, a widely debated matter of opinion.
• Industrial (Fear Factory, Type O Negative, Ramms+ein)
• 90's Rock (Meatloaf, Aerosmith, Nirvana)
• Gabber (Temper Tantrum, early Bezerker)
• Dance/Rave/Electronic (The Shamen, Altern-8, Praga Khan)

So ye see...Despite my unwavering fervour regarding BAL-SAGOTH, even my music tastes can span some surprisingly wide and diverse borders! If it didn't, my life would be a whole lot less interesting! hock:

Finally; I'd readily doubt that I'm the only Last.FM user on this forum. Granted, I log in to Last.FM on a rare basis (I have no home Internet connection, go figure! ) and I still havn't found a suitable offline scrobbler to record what I play whilst at home, but my station is at http://www.last.fm/user/dieselwyvern if anyone wants a look.

</OverExcessiveBalSagothFanboyism>

I discovered the joys of Bal Sagoth in my english lesson today, I cant remember what I listened to but it was good. I used the school computers to go on some music sites I knew were unblocked.

 

[SS4]

And anyone who has more than 3 songs by the same artist in their list needs to expand their musical horizons !

Guilty as charged, that will probably become 10 from Judas Priest after High Voltage though

even my music tastes can span some surprisingly wide and diverse borders! If it didn't, my life would be a whole lot less interesting! hock:

I concur

Music you have in common includes Saxon, HammerFall, Rammstein, Iron Maiden and Pantera.

The Black Keys - I Got Mine
Tom Morello - A-Team Blastoff Suite
Tom Waits - Sixteen Shells From A 30-06
Boards of Canada - Dayvan Cowboy
Boards of Canada - Music is Math
Paul Mounsey - North
Bop - Tears of a Lonely Metaphysician
Buck 65 - Indestructible Sam
Rolling Stones - Stop Breaking Down
