Great topic Zap!
1) something in the night - Springsteen. My all time favorite song by any artist, any genre. A true work of art.
2) monkey man - the Rolling Stones. This is tough because I could have picked 10 different stones songs but I am going with MM
3) can't hardly wait (Tim version) - the replacements. This one was mentioned a couple of times already which just goes to show you the people on this board have great taste! Just a perfect song. "Jesus rides beside me... He never buys and he smokes"

Peteyd - great songs, especially Can't Hardly Wait, but I have to point out that you have one of the greatest lines in rock and roll history wrong. It's "Jesus rides beside me...he never buys any smokes."
This is why Dark Side of the Moon still sells so many copies.
Time by Pink Floyd
And You And I by Yes
These two songs have been favorites of mine since the early 70's. I was a big Led Zeppelin fan, but their songs have faded from my list of favorites over the years.
WMMR 93.3 in Philly is doing a album March Madness. It's pretty interesting how some of the votes turn out as you only can vote during the battle between the two albums so you have to be listening. Of ciurse each DJ has different sets of listeners that sway votes on way or the other.
They play two songs from each album but run through all the songs on each. You are supposed to vote on the entire strength of the complete album.
March Madness Recod Album style

just heard and saw the video for Black Sun today...its an awesome song in an otherwise sketchy time for music
Joshua Tree is one of only two albums on which I liked (an like) every song, and to this day I don't remember the other album.
As for one of my three favorite songs, which is a hard thing to figure out, I do know one of them, as I've liked it since I was a kid and have never tired of it: Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay by Otis Redding.

It's not about any of that, it's about good tunes. It's not a good thing that the politicalization that has overtaken all aspects of our society gets cast over the creation of music. I would estimate that my pretty large CD collection is at least filled with 30 -40 % of people who don't fit the above reference. The music has to move me in some way. I have a large collection of classic Soul and R&B music at home and when the mood is right i can tear up listening to it. There are also a good number of young singers and bands that i would pay to hear live and have most of their music. Thats what it is about.Originally posted by West Point Knight:
Whitest...thread...ever!! Also the oldest...and least gay!!!
A solid Rick-rolling!!! I haven't been rolled in a while--always a classic when someone pulls it off. Nicely done.
Southern Man from Four Way Street would have made my list if I hadn't kept it at three.
Stephen Stills and Neil Young are awesome on guitar on that tune....something I witnessed any number of times, including once at Atlantic City Racetrack in a friggin rainstorm....and yes it was outside.
BTW, if I hadn't kept my list to three it would probably be the longest one in this thread and included at least a half a dozen tunes by Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Bob Marley and the Wailers,The Allman Brothers, Pink Floyd, Neil Young and Crazy Horse, Jackson Browne, Dinosaur Jr., The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Guns N' Roses, Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen, Steely Dan, U2, and Stevie Ray Vaughan....and lots and lots of tunes by many other great artists.
Like someone who posted earlier in this thread, I have hundreds of vinyl albums, hundreds of cassettes, and hundreds of cd's and most of them I treasure and still enjoy....and yes I'm still adding to my collection.
Todays fav is Beyonce's sister Solange singing in a cab with one of my fav guitarists Dev Hynes (also known as Lightspeed Champion or Blood Orange). I like Solange more than Beyonce who is good but never did anything for me. Solange is also famous for having a go at Jay-Z in an elevator (he was going to a party without Beyonce or something)
Solange - Black Cab Sessions

New day, new favorites:
Bob Marley- Johnny Was
Widespread Panic- Climb To Safety
Dispatch- Two Coins

Favorites change on a daily basis, but I throughly enjoyed getting down to Princeton's own Trey Anastasio and Phish today. Can't wait to hit the road for Grateful Dead and Phish summer tour!

JP agree as a guitar player can agree with
1 Blue Sky is a classic with Dicky Betts & Warren Haines trading riffs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1jpQu6qR1E along with thier acoustic version of Melissa https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggeab0lKz2c just amazing how they play off each other
1a CS&N Suite Judy Blue Eyes Steve Stills is underrated as a player/song writer and can carry a song like this with just him playing, the voice harmonies they do help also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVUwrifwKrI
2 Green Grass and High Tides the Outlaws again Hughie T was very underrated as a player and writer but if you listen to his songs the chord structure of his songs are basic the way he plays alternates off the others players is good. This one with some guests https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGrZwU6wde0
3 I like a lot of the older Doobie songs but favorite is Black Water https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3P6HXHCYVc
My list can go on forever with others such as Beatles, Zep, Eagles, but these are my top 5

Loved new wave:
Debaser by the Pixies (slicing up eyeballs, ha, ha, ha ,ho)
Blister in the Sun - Violent Femmes
Boys Don't Cry - The Cure
So many different times I can remember hearing each of these songs, exactly where I was, who I was with, etc.

Loan me a Dime is just pure genius.
Wilson Pickett's version of Hey Jude with Duane Allman is hot enough to make you melt.
Add to your Dylan choices: Tangled Up in Blue and Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues
