The 2nd movement of Beethoven's 7th Symphony is the best piece of music in history. It's not really a 'song,' though, so where does that leave me? Is it listworthy, or am I to suffer through eternity never again hearing it? [/ QUOTE ] I'd say you have to pick one recording of it. |

Re: If you can only keep 25 songs
jason,
for somebody who I know listened to mostly classical for most of his life, I'm surprised by how little classical is on your list. |

Re: If you can only keep 25 songs

Over and Out (Foo Fighters) 7. Stockholm Syndrome (Muse 8. Wish You Were Here (Pink Floyd) 9. Disarm (The Smashing Pumpkins) 10. One (Sunny Day Real Estate) 11. Happiness is a Warm Gun (Beatles) 12. Blind Man's Arrow (Appleseed Cast) 13. Hate in a Puddle (Illogic) 14. Killing in the Name (Rage Against The Machine) 15. Float On (Modest Mouse) 16. The Bagman's Gambit (The Decembrists) 17. Jesus of Suburbia (Green Day) 18. Something Sigor Ros (I need to listen more closely to actually pick one) 19. Believe Me Natalie (The Killers) 20. Cello Song (Nick Drake) 21. Two Points For Honesty (Guster) 22. Now We Are Free (Gladiator Soundtrack) 23. Affirmative Action (Nas) 24. The Cure (Non Prophets) 25. How Near, How Far (Trail of Dead) |
