Friend,

I am not sure I recognize a single song on that list. Which would you say is the best song listed?

Yours,

You should really clear out and update that sock drawer, mate. And I’m not even going to ask about your underwear drawer

For me, Machine Head by Bush. I doubt many will agree, but I have always loved that song.

The 70’s & 80’s were the all time best rock era.

The past 10 years has been worse than ever in the movie industry. Media throws a hissy fit if you didn’t care for or didn’t watch the latest intellectual property that has been hijacked and whored out.

Ironically, I recognize all of them but three.

Tulane, "Tonight, tonight" by the Smashing Pumpkins would be a great start to that list due to the many symphonic instruments involved.

quote:

"Tonight, Tonight" is written in the key of G, performed on instruments tuned down a half-step so the actual pitch is G?/F #. In the original recording sessions, "Tonight, Tonight" was initially written in the key of C instead of G. However, since Corgan was unable to sing the song in C, he wrote a version during the Mellon Collie recording sessions to suit his range. The strings for the song were arranged by Billy Corgan and Audrey Riley, and recorded with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Corgan said that recording with a 30-piece string-section for the song "was probably one of the most exciting recording experiences I have ever had."

And the new thing I learned today was that a band existed called the “Butthole Surfers.”

Everybody 15+ that listened to alternative/rock in the 90's knows Pepper. They may not know the bands name, but they know the song. It was everywhere.
