What are your top five songs of all time and why? What is it about them you love? Does it remind you of someone?

This is just too hard because so many great songs of so many different genres. And I am a female, so there are so many different moods. But I will take a shot -- in no particular order:

1. Night and Day: Cole Porter and I like all the myriad covers done of it. It was first done in an old Fred Astaire movie and I love old movies.

2. Constant Craving: k.d. lang -- I love her voice and I relate to constant craving.

3. Adagio for Strings: Samual Barber. Beautiful, sad, haunting. Always makes me reflective and thoughtful.

4. Ring of Fire: Johnny Cash. I have always liked all his songs and that voice!

5. Unbreak My Heart: Toni Braxton. She sings this in an over-wrought manner, but when my heart is broken, I am over-wrought too. So it works for me.

There was not room to put all the Motown tunes on here, but anything Motown!

1. Great tune...
2. Love k.d.
3. Um...what's that doing there???
4. Song is allegedly about a woman's pudendum. Love the man in black.
5. Toni was discovered singing while pumping gas at a gas station in Annapolis MD.

I had 9 million Motown and Muscle Shoals songs to add... I only listed two though.
 
Absolutely impossible to pick 5. I'll pick a tune each from 5 favorite artists:

Grateful Dead ~ Friend of the Devil - classic tune that's been covered by many oher artists.

Allman Brothers Band ~ Melissa - They have so many good songs, but I know a beautiful lady by this name and think of her every time.

John Hammond ~ 2-19 - I could have picked almost any song from his Wicked Grin album on which he covers Tom Waits' tunes.

Lucinda Williams ~ Lake Charles - Here again, this in an album I could pick almost any track from. It won a grammy for best folk when it came out.

Johnny Cash ~ When the Man Comes Around - This song gives goosebumps. One of last big original songs. If you've never heard it, listen.

So no room for Petty, Beatles, Stones, Willie, Springsteen, Dylan, B.B., Hendrix, The Band, Floyd, Santana, Peter Green, Talking Heads, Kinks, Niel Young, Hank, Zappa, Doors, CCR, Norah, Hiatt, Police, or the Who? Darn.
 
Thank you All 4 Love -- BBB, just grab it and listen. So beautiful.

Theme from Platoon. ;)

Yep...not enough room for everyone. I agree.
 
Strolls in. Apparently house keeping needs to be called to clean up this mess.

Pmann your efforts here are duly noted but as of this moment you are hereby relieved of your duties.

It may take a day or two to scrub the place down, so in the mean time you'll all be given Litiquette vouchers to be used at your convenience.

Game of Thrones ... The Lit version

*goes to get popcorn with my voucher*
 
Thank you All 4 Love -- BBB, just grab it and listen. So beautiful.

I had to grab it and listen.

There is no greater feeling than the things in life that leave you breathless. I am so glad you listed this as one of your choices. It has been a long time since I have listened to it. Thank you. :heart:

ETA: Should I be using a voucher for this? Because I would hate to have to get chained up. hehe ;)

I'm on vacation so no time to fight. I'm keeping the crown though. And I left a mess in the bathroom.

You're welcome for keeping this place afloat, Chained. They are an unruly bunch and while my dictatorship was much more benevolent than yours, they still run amuck.

Words will focus the meaning or intent whereas music by itself can let you experience whatever you are lead to feel in that moment. Come back to that same piece and you might see something different. I'm not saying either is better, each has their own place certainly. The openness of just music is what draws me, free to be creative with thoughts within a creative expression.

I fixed your post for you. ;)

Will there be spankings?

Not that I want to know. My, um, friend does. Yeah. That's it.

Excellent picks! The Man Comes Around is one of my favorite Cash tunes as well. So intense and great. His entire American output is something special indeed.

I do apologize though. I tried to keep them from having meaningful discussions and fun. It was everything I could do but the peasants seemed to be enjoying themselves. I don't know what to do with that. *sigh*
 
He left it on the floor whilst he went on his wankabout. I figured finder's keepers.

LOL! You figured right, Pmann.

Nice job "Pmanning" this place.

I don't think anyone could have done such a great job. :)
