[Mr. J]

List your top 25 songs of all time. I'll put my list up later.

[Voodoo Child]

Seeing how we have a separate forum for Rap/Hip-Hop, let's exclude this thread to other genres (rock, electronica, soul, etc.); not that I don't like Rap or Hip-Hop, because I do, but it just makes it easier to narrow down the list and choose between songs if we exclude the genres. (This isn't a rule for the thread or anything, just a suggestion that I'll be following.)

(list subject to change)

25) Strawberry Alarm Clock - Incense And Peppermints

You have GREAT taste in music......I was just pumpin that in my ride the other day......All Along the Watchtower would definitely be in my top 10 songs of all time and it's by far my favorite song by Jimi.....the drums, the guitar, the lyrics, everything was PERFECT about that song.

Thanks bro'... yano, it's great to see another hip-hop fan into rock music.

So much of the rock out there today is 100% sh*t, but if you go back to the artists like Hendrix of the late 60's and very early 70's, and a few scattered bands afterwards (RHCP, etc.), it's great, great music.

Hip-hop and rock come from the same roots really... and guys like Hendrix play with so much soul that it's hard not to love them...

 

[The Dream]

^^^^yep both were viewed as rebellious forms of music, and slowly but surely both have both succumbed to commercialism.

Couldn't tell you, I don't rate songs. I just have a top 3 or so.

I could however, make a top bands/artists list.

Don't listen to the radio. You just don't get enough of the good stuff. I have so much you'd like, but they're not on the net. Many of you won't agree, I don't blame you, but that's because you don't know about 80% of the stuff I have that I've never posted here before. I'd like to get that stuff up, but I'm not about to go post all that on Youtube or somewhere else.
