If you can only keep 25 songs

[srvollmer]

I had Pavement. Not that it matters...
And that's the Smiths song I used. Well done man.

One more thing, I Want You Back was probably my number 26.

[Sheriff Fatman]

I wanted to find space for Pavement (probably Carrot Rope) but 25 is just too damned tight! A few others fell by the wayside for similar reasons.

Waltz #2 is amazing. New Pornographers are great, too, but I couldn't pinpoint a specific song. There's like 10 or so that I'd want.

Yeah..I need to see when and where he's performing.

Mar, 2003 they had the reunion of the Joe Jackson Band and I drove 6 hours to New Orleans (with very little cash to my name at the time) to see the show.
Have seen Joe Jackson 3 times now...fantastic shows obviously.

I don't have one. It changes too much depending on my mood.

Man I hate you for telling me to do this. My first cut left me with about 100, then I got down to 60, then 45, then right about 32 left is when it got really hard. All in all I definitely spent about an hour coming up with this list.

Here's the top 25 in Alphabetical Order:

1. Aerosmith – Dream On
2. AFI – This Celluloid Dream
3. Avril Lavigne – I’m With You
4. Blues Traveler – Hook
5. Bush – Glycerin
6. Coldplay – I’ll See You Soon
7. Course of Nature – Caught in the Sun
8. Derrick and the Dominoes – Layla
9. Everclear – Santa Monica
10. Foo Fighters – Everlong
11. Gin Blossoms – Until I Fall Away
12. Goo Goo Dolls – Iris
13. Greenwheel – Breathe
14. Live – Lightning Crashes
15. REO Speedwagon – Time for Me to Fly
16. The Roots – The Seed 2.0
17. Scorpions – Wind of Change
18. Semisonic – Singing in My Sleep
19. Smashing Pumpkins – Disarm
20. Sublime – Same in the End
21. Trapt – Made of Glass
22. Trik Turner - Sacrifice
23. U2 – Sunday Bloody Sunday
24. Warren Zevon – Werewolves of London
25. The Who – Baba O’Riley

These are the ones that just missed in rank order:

26. Incubus – 11 AM
27. Kansas – Carry on My Wayward Son
28. Journey – Wheel in the Sky
29. Third Eye Blind - Jumper
30. Guster – Amsterdam
31. Guns N Roses – November Rain
32. Counting Crows – A Long December

My list clearly wins.
