Jon's Top 200-101: The Saga Begins

[sadchild]

The first three are on my 500+ fav songs of all ever.

(My son and) I can't hear the fifth one without singing the 'literal video' version. "Awkward backwards waaaalk through construction site. Voice real hiiiiigh!"

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

I have heard and like all but the Megadeath one.

Electric Avenue was just in my 424 (#113),

 

[HecticArt]

Guess you never saw this

I never saw it either.

We gonna rock down to.........

OY!!!

Another one I could probably take a considerable amount of crap for. Or not, who knows!

YOu get a pass. The band should get all of the crap for that video!

 

[Jon]

#125 - Warren Zevon - Lawyers, Guns and Money

The king of weirdo rock, whose absence from the Rock Hall of Fame is one of the many reasons it's dead to HecticArt.



#124 - Nails - 88 Lines about 44 Women

Heard this on First Wave during lunch today and had major flashbacks!



#123 - Cowboy Junkies - A Common Disaster

A favorite from a favorite.



#122 - Nine Inch Nails - Head Like A Hole

One band that came out in between Hair Metal and Grunge. A welcome relief from the Wingers of the world.




#121 - Rage Against the Machine - Guerrilla Radio

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

Love the Warren Zevon and Cowboy Junkie ones.

 

[sadchild]

overall I'm not a Cornell/Soundgarden fan at all. I'm in the minority when I say this, but as soon as his voice goes into the higher register, it's like nails on a chalkboard to me

Earlier today, Stern (a replay of earlier this week) said there are several John Lennon tribute songs on the SXM app. He played a clip of Chris Cornell doing "Imagine" and I was cringing the entire time. It was actually painful to my ears and hurtful to my heart. Again, I know I'm in the minority on this. But personally, I thought it was absolutely dreadful.

 

[sadchild]

Love the Warren Zevon and Cowboy Junkie ones.

And I love the other three! So all five songs are officially loved.

#121 - Rage Against the Machine - Guerrilla Radio

I dig em all. It’s pretty much increasing order as they are posted.
Id never seen that Rage video before. It’s pretty trippy!

#120 - Stevie Ray Vaughan - Riviera Paradise

Nice one to end a Friday.



#119 - Dave Brubeck - Take Five

Memories of my dad's old records (before he gave all of them away to my sister, EXCEPT Elvis' debut album, in Near mint condition from 1956).



#118 - Vince Guaraldi Trio - Linus and Lucy



#117 - Enya - Orinoco Flow

Sounds amazing on a surround sound system.




#116 - Natalie Merchant - Life is Sweet

One of the prettiest voices in Rock. Easy on the eyes too!

 

[Jon]

#115 - The Box Tops - The Letter

One of the memorable songs from my parents' Oldies station. Been a favorite for years.



#114 - Led Zeppelin - Good Times, Bad Times

Not much I need to say here.




#113 - Doobie Brothers - Takin' it to the Streets

Arguments all day about which version of the Doobies was better, here's my contribution.




#112 - J. Geils Band - Centerfold

Memories of the video on heavy rotation on MTV (kids, ask your parents!)




#111 - Clash - Rock the Casbah

One of the few videos that prominently features a sheik and an armadillo!

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

I like the Doobies, Clash and J. Geils songs.

 

[sadchild]

#119 - Dave Brubeck - Take Five

I know this one, but don't know how where when or why.

#118 - Vince Guaraldi Trio - Linus and Lucy

Love it! Especially love hearing my son play it on the piano. It's a very difficult song, but he struggles through it.

#117 - Enya - Orinoco Flow
#112 - J. Geils Band - Centerfold
#111 - Clash - Rock the Casbah

All on my 333 favs of all ever!

#115 - The Box Tops - The Letter

I like this one, but rarely hear it.

 

[Jon]

#110 - Elvis Costello - Watching the Detectives



#109 - Chicago - 25 or 6 to 4



#108 - When the Levee Breaks



#107 - The Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter



#106 - AC/DC - Back in Black

 

[scotchandcigar]

I know this one, but don't know how where when or why.

It's one of the most well known jazz standards. Grammy lifetime award etc. It's probably been used for a hundred TV show themes.

It's a good album.

We're Down to the Last 5!!

#105 - Metallica - Enter Sandman

From the time where they went from the biggest metal band to the biggest band PERIOD thanks in part to this album (and before Napster!)



#104 - Nirvana - Smells like Teen Spirit

You had to figure it'd be in here somewhere right?

Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit (Official Music Video)

Official Music Video for Smells Like Teen Spirit performed by Nirvana.Nevermind (30th Anniversary Edition) is available now: https://Nirvana.lnk.to/Nevermind...

#103 - Santana feat. Rob Thomas - Smooth

Count me as one of the 8 million plus that went out and got the album after hearing this one.



#102 - Go-Go's - We Got the Beat

Belinda Carlisle to this day is still a stone-cold fox!



#101 - The Cars - Moving in Stereo

We're 101st, We're 101st, We're 101st!

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

Like the Cars, The Go-Gos, Smooth, and Nirvana.

Me too, which makes sense, as I have a decent jazz collection and grew up playing jazz. But my older daughter couldn't stand that album, and it was hard to get away from.

#101 - The Cars - Moving in Stereo

My band, years ago when we had a male singer, did a heavied-up cover of this song. I really enjoyed playing it. We kept it slow and dark, but no synth just guitars - chunky!
