- Sympathy for the Devil
- Under My Thumb
- Undercover of the Night
- 2000 Man
Motely Crue
(I was only big into Crue in high school for a few years so my selections are limited to their early stuff)
- Shout at the Devil
- Too Young to Fall in Love
- Live Wire
- Starry Eyes
- Looks That Kill
And one of my all time favorite bands: Butthole Surfers- I Saw an X-Ray of a Girl Passing Gas

Such awesome stuff coming from everyone, great to see. I'm finding there is stuff I might have to search out based on some of your choices here. I definitely want to get in on The Monkees and yes it is serious bs that they are not in the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame. Same goes for Motley Crue, Judas Priest etc. not being in. It really is the Hall of Shame lol.
Here we go with another triple play:
The Monkees
1. Pleasant Valley Sunday (This one always puts me in a good mood)
2. Last Train to Clarkesville
3. Valleri
4. (I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone
5. I'm a Believer
Stevie Ray Vaughan
1. Look at Little Sister
2. Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)
3. Leave My Girl Alone
4. The Sky is Crying
5. Superstition
Johnny Cash
1. Folsom Prison Blues
2. Sunday Morning Coming Down
3. Hurt
4. Jackson
5. Rusty Cage (As much as I love the Soundgarden original, Johnny Cash puts his all into this brilliant cover and it is great)
Ok, the Man in Black deserves more spots so I am adding God's Gonna Cut You Down, If You Could Read My Mind (Gordon Lightfoot cover), I Walk The Line, A Boy Named Sue, Big River, Ring of Fire and well you get the picture. I could go on all day listing my favorites from Johnny Cash.
Keep the great lists coming!

Ok, one more...
Rob Zombie
1. Thunder Kiss '65
2. Demon Speeding
3. Black Sunshine
4. Living Dead Girl
5. Girl on Fire
Honorable mention to: Dragula, More Human Than Human, P**** Liquor and his catchy cover of Brickhouse. I know some of my picks are White Zombie but I consider it all inclusive.

The Man in Black and the original American Badass...
Favorite 5 Johnny Cash
- When The Man Comes Around
- Folsom Prison Blues
- Ain't No Grave
- Ring Of Fire
- I Walk The Line
And since it just seems logical for me to follow up with this one...
Favorite 5 Kid Rock
- Bawitdaba***
- American Badass
- Cowboy
- Forever
- Amen
*** Now get in the pit and try to love someone!
As odd as it might seem, these words literally changed (and perhaps even saved) my life in the spring of 2000. And for that reason, I generally consider this song my number one favorite of all-time.

Ramones (my favorite band) 1. I Wanna Be Sedated 2. Do You Wanna Dance 3. Somebody Put Something in My Drink 4. Bonzo Goes to Bitburg 5. Do You Remember Rock 'N Roll Radio honorable mention: Blitzkrieg Bop, Beat on the Brat, The Return of Jackie and Judy, Howling at the Moon, Outsider My favorite band as well, not easy to pick just 5, but here goes: 1. Chinese Rock 2. Carbona Not Glue 3. Commando 4. Danger Zone 5. Wart Hog (Had to pick a Dee Dee song) Vegas, I was able to meet the Ramones in 1995, courtesy of a backstage pass my friend stole for me. Had an awesome time comparing tats with C.J. and listening to Joey's mom tell me how difficult of a time she had delivering him! Still upsets me that my heroes are now gone, but heaven truly did inherit one hell of a band! Here's hoping that Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee and Tommy are arguing in between songs as we speak! My favourite band too. Used to play in a Ramones tribute band and have been lucky enough to play shows with Marky, CJ and Richie over the years. Ramones top 5: 1. Locket Love 2. She's A Sensation 3. Born To Die In Berlin 4. Oh, Oh I love Her So 5. Today Your Love, Tomorrow The World |

One of my favorite artists, greatly under-appreciated by the masses and a first-class bad ass, Steve Earle: 1.Guitar Town 2.Copperhead Road 3.Devil's Right Hand 4.Johnny Come Lately 5.Oxycontin Blues And of course, the man, the myth, the legend (and the only artist I've ever spent more than $100 per ticket to see-and worth every penny) Bruce Springsteen: 1.Downbound Train 2.No Surrender 3.The River 4.Jungleland 5.The Promised Land Just bought Steve Earle's new album. Been a huge fan for years and glad to see there's another Earle fan on the board. 1. Johnny Come Lately 2. The Galway Girl 3. F The CC 4. John Walker's Blues 5. Regular Guy Also love 'The Boss' and have been lucky enough to see him. Really prefer his early stuff, reflected in my faves: 1. Does The Bus Stop? 2. Factory 3. It's Hard To Be A Saint In The City 4. Atlantic City 5. From Small Things... |
