Your Top 5 Songs
As the title says, what are your guys' top 5 favorite songs? You could even do your top 10 if you can't decide
1) Beer With Jesus - Thomas Rhett 2) A Soldiers Memoir - Mitch Rossell (A fairly new song. Music video is fantastic) 3) Semper Fi - Trace Adkins 4) Better Than I Used To Be - Tim McGraw 5) Second Chance - Shinedown Some more good ones that didn't make my list are: 'Till the Last Shots' Fired - Trace Adkins Arlington - Trace Adkins Space Bound - Eminem (I don't usually listen to rap, but I'll admit this is a good one) All songs that are by Here Come the Mummies The Jody Grind - Horace Silver (Gotta have that one Jazz tune)

Re: Your Top 5 Songs
Which decade?
Okay, here is a list. It's what's currently on my earworm list, for the most part. 25 or 6 to 4, Chicago Dust in the Wind, Kansas Bridge Over Troubled Water, Simon and Garfunkel Somewhere Over the Rainbow, Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwoʻole Seven Bridges Road, Eagles and as a bonus Hurt, Johnny Cash Tomorrow the list will probably be different.

Re: Your Top 5 Songs
Maybe Top 500.....50 if I really spent some time. But Top 5? Don't think I can do it. Love music way too much.

Re: Your Top 5 Songs
Off the top of my head, five songs that rate "up there" for me:
All along the watchtower - Jimi's version Colors/Dance - George Winston Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd Acadian Driftwood- the Band Stairway to Heaven (I can't NOT include this one) Honorable mention: And Kris Kristofferson song, sung by Kristofferson. There's too many great musicians to give a top five. Narrowing it down to songs is impossible. I already don't have any Eagles, Jimi Hendrix originals, SRV, buddy Guy, no classical music, no grateful Dead, no Joplin, no Black Sabbath, etc. I also don't have any Beatles tunes up there. Or Johnny Cash. Or Merle, or Hank, or Willie. Or any pearl Jam. No Nirvana up there either.

Re: Your Top 5 Songs

Re: Your Top 5 Songs
I can definitely see how hard it is to narrow them down, I could easily add another 40+ songs to my original list. (Johnny Cash, Eagles, Foo Fighters, Pink Floyd, etc) I'm constantly listening to those original five, which is why I put those.
Somewhat related; Is anybody else some form of a musician?

Re: Your Top 5 Songs
Nice Right now I'm playing the Baritone Sax in a professional Jazz Combo, and I do both Tenor and Alto for the school Jazz Band. I've been playing for about 7 years now.

Re: Your Top 5 Songs
I'm a guitar player that's been playing for 30 years. Everything I know is from sheer stubbornness; I have utterly no musical talent at all.

Re: Your Top 5 Songs
Drummer as well. Been gigging since the late 60's but learned early on it wasn't going to be a lucrative career, so kept it to a part-time gig.
Took about 25 years off from the 80's until about 4 years ago when I got wrangled into it again. As far as my favorite 5 songs go, it's always evolving, depending on my mood.

Re: Your Top 5 Songs
I've played piano for 30 years, guitar for 16, and bought a tenor ukulele a few months ago. I'm getting pretty darn good at it, if I do say so myself.
Started learning this one yesterday. It's gonna take quite a while to get all of the patterns down: http://youtu.be/_2r0w30-TI4

Re: Your Top 5 Songs
I avoided replying the last 10 times I opened this, because I'm having trouble even framing the question, much less the possible answers. I bet I could define "top songs" 6 different ways....
After a couple days of it banging around in my head, here's a few that are not best music technically, melodically, popularly, ....not a lot of things....but they continue to resonate with me as well as the first time I heard them....these just never have gotten old: -Everlong - Foo Fighters -Brandy - Looking Glass -Disarm - Smashing Pumpkins -Let's Stay Together - Al Green -Heartbreaker - Rolling Stones No surprise that the 80's are absent from any music list I make. Except maybe a little early metal and some punk, I'd be fine if the entire decade of music were lost.
