If you could only listen to 10 songs for the rest of your life, what 10 songs would you pick?

"The Final Count Down" By Europe. Thats All I need to go completly insane for the rest of my life. HA HA HA.

You know this is an almost impossible task for a music lover.  But I will give it my best shot.  Granted some of these could change if asked tomorrow.  I need about 20 more.

1. "American Pie"  Don McLean

2. "Sounds of Silence" Simon and Garfunkle

3. "Center Field" Dan Fogleburg

4. "Mony Mony"  Tommy James and the Shondels

5. "Crocodile Rock"  Elton John

6. "Monkees Theme"  The Monkees 

7. "Devil with the Blue Dress On / Good Golly Miss Molly"  Little Richard

8. "Innocent Man" Billy Joel

9. "Spinning Wheel"   Blood Sweat and Tears

10. "Joy to the World"  Three Dog Night

Whew, tough list.

1. Anything from the Beach Boys

2. Anything from ZZ Top

3. Sunshine of Your Love - Cream

4. You Make Me So Very Happy - Blood, Sweat & Tears

5. Pretty Woman - Roy Orbison

6. Hello, Mary Lou - Rick Nelson

7. Would I Lie to You - Eurythmics

8. Anything from Heart

9. God Bless the USA - Lee Greenwood

10. I Love Rock N' Roll - Joan Jett

AND MANY MORE!

I agree with you Ron. And I'd probably have to add some Beatles and Springsteen, and some Aerosmith to Ken's list!

Not in any particular order. Here's the best so far:

Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers - ZZ Top

Red House - Jimi Hendrix

Pride and Joy - Stevie Ray Vaughn

Born to Run - Bruce (The Boss) Springsteen

Stairway to Heaven - Led Zepplin

Hotel California - Eagles

Highway Star - Deep Purple

Roadhouse Blues - Doors

Rock you like a Hurricane - Scorpions

I Get Around - The Beach Boys

 

My list :
1 - Time     Pink Floyd (and all Dark Side of the Moon album)
2 - New York City Serenade  Bruce Springsteen
3 - Hell's Bells  AC/DC (real great to listen to in the Vette)
4 - HighWay Star    Deep Purple  (I'm going to a Deep Purple show June 19th...)
5 - Squonk    Genesis
6 - Wish You Were Here   Pink Floyd
7 - Jungleland   Bruce Sprinsteen (greatest sax solo)
8 - Layla    Clapton - Derek and the Dominoes
9 - La Grange  ZZ Top
10 - Tunnel of Love   Dire Straits (greatest electric guitar solo)

I'm almost sure I can go up to 100 but let's stop at 10.

I like everyone's suggestions so far.  Didn't really think that Corvette ownership and a taste in good music were so intertwined.  I will caution though that now that you have picked those (10) songs, once you really start listening to them over and over and over, I'm pretty sure you will want to suggest another (10) very soon...they will get old quick...sort of like most of the top 40 hits anymore.

While I, unlike the others, can not narrow it down to actual song titles, I can give you artists:

Led Zeppelin

Heart

Santana

Stevie Ray Vaughn

The Who

Eddie Money

War

Rare Earth

Lynyrd Skynyrd

Los Lonely Boys (I know they only have one album so far, but I can listen to it again and again, and I am anxiously awaiting their next release.)

Now, not to offend any of the fans out there, the one artist I can be happy to never hear again the rest of my life would be Willie Nelson.  I just...it's like...he's so...words just don't describe my feelings toward him and his music!

My two cents,

 

Wow you can really tell the age of folks by their answers.   I showed my 18 year old son some of the answers and his response was ""WHO""?   Anyway mine are (in no order);

Born to be Wild - Steppenwolf

Purple Haze - Jimmie Hendrix

Little Duce Coupe - Jan and Dean

House of the Rising Sun - The Turtles

Anything Beach Boys

Help - Beatles (and many other tunes)

Santana -   older tunes

Fleetwood Mac - awesome

Hotel California - Eagles (and others)

Jimmy Buffett - hey I'm from South Florida!!!


That was a little tougher than I thought! I'm sure I'll think of others as the day goes on......
