10

Also, just for a little experiment, put your top 10 most played songs from your Itunes or media player.

How much different are the 2 list's?

Bonus:Of the following 5, who do you think has contributed the LEAST to music in general?

A. The Kinks.

B. E.L.O

C. Motley Cru.

D.Aerosmith.

E. Napalm death

Answer 1

I can't put them in order, but I will list them

(These are all based on the feelings they evoke.)

1. Televators - The Mars Volta

2. Life on Mars - David Bowie

3. 18th Floor Balcony - Blue October

4. Moonlight Sonata - Beethoven

5. Blackbird - Beatles

6. Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd

7. Heaven Knows - Squeeze

8. Lover You Should Have Come Over - Jeff Buckley

9. Your Wildest Dreams - Moody Blues

10. La Mer - Charles Trenet



Music player:

well - I listen to Pandora all day usually - or a few of my project play lists ... so I can't really contribute to that experiment. I'll tell you this - there is not one song on my favorites of all time list that is on any of my playlists (well, maybe The Mars Volta - and the David Bowie one).



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

B:

ahh I like The Kinks!!

I'll go with Napalm Death (contributed the least to music I listen to anyway). My little brother would kill me for that statement.



EDIT: Crap! Ashlee reminded me of This Time Imperfect by AFI ... Make that #11. Bending the rules a bit.

Answer 2

1. All of the Above - Transatlantic

2. So What - Miles Davis

3. The Rite of Spring - Stravinsky

4. Starless - King Crimson

5. Even Less - Porcupine Tree

6. Rhapsody in Blue - George Gershwin

7. The Endless Enigma - Emerson, Lake & Palmer

8. The Great Nothing - Spock's Beard

9. Firth of Fifth - Genesis

10. As It Is - Pat Metheny Group



My lists like this change a lot, at times it's whatever songs strike me, later there will be scores of songs and pieces that go above some of these, so in no way is this an eternal, set in stone list.



No idea what the top played is... I delete stuff off my iTunes and have it on iPod and external hard drive, and the iPod has no top played feature... but I know it wouldn't be very similar to this list.



C. Motley Crue, it was them or Aerosmith, Aerosmith is generic hard rock but they were influential... M.C. is just **** hair metal. Napalm Death was influential on shitty grindcore and death metal which is superior to cock rock... The Kinks were influential on both punk and heavy metal so no argument there, and ELO was one of the first and best orchestra rock bands which is definitely something, also just great Beatlesque pop music, which is all good for me, there should have been more of that stuff.

Answer 3

1. Hey Jude, The Beatles

2. Good Day Sunshine, The Beatles

3. And Your Bird Can Sing, The Beatles

4. Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy), John Lennon

5. Full Circle, Aerosmith

6. Falling In Love (Is Hard On The Knees), Aerosmith

7. No More Mr. Nice Guy, Alice Cooper

8. Change, Blind Melon

9. Speak To Me/Breathe

10. Stairway to Heaven, Led Zeppelin



Most played:

1. How To Save a Life, The Fray (285)

2. Tell Me Baby, RHCP (279)

3. She Looks To Me, RHCP (238)

5. What I Got, Sublime (224)

6. Stadium Arcadium, RHCP (196)

7. God Is a DJ, P!NK (172)

8. Dani California, RHCP (154)

9. Wet Sand, RHCP (136)

10. She's Only 18 (133)

great question =)

1. Radio- Alkaline Trio

2. All The Same- Sick Puppies

3. Violet- Hole

4. Infected- Bad Religion

5. Pepper- Butthole Surfers

6. Pretty Girl (The Way)- Sugarcult

7. You F_cked Up My Life- Blink182

8. This Dark Day- 12 Stones

3. Josey- Hey Monday

4. Lullaby- Spill Canvas

5. You Oughta Know- Alanis Morissette

6. Take Your Momma Out- Scissor Sisters

7. Remembering Sunday- All Time Low

8. Bruised- Jacks Mannequin

9. Vegas- All Time Low

10. Hammers and Strings- Jacks Mannequin

11. Don't You Want Me?- Human League

12. Don't Push- Sublime

13. Three Cheers for 5 Years- Mayday Parade

14. Let the Flames Begin- Paramore

15. Better in Time- Leona Lewis (wtf. I didn't even know I had that song downloaded.)

18. Lollipop- Framing Hanley

19. Who I Am Hates Who I've Been- Reliant K

21. Six Feet Under the Stars- All Time Low

22. You are so Last Summer- Taking Back Sunday

23. Tiger Lily- Matchbook Romance

24. Woe- Say Anything

25. Bedroom Talk- The Starting Line



They're NOTHING alike! My top 25 most played is more acoustic. And I haven't listened to some of the songs on it in forever.



Bonus: ELO and Napalm Death have both pretty much done nothing for the music industry. The Kinks, Motley Crue, and Aerosmith are a little overrated, but they have contributed and raised the bar for music.

Answer 5

1. Lazy Eye - Silversun Pickups

2. Burning Down the House (Live) - Talking Heads

3. Shadow Stabbing - Cake

4. Sympathy for the Devil - The Rolling Stones

5. Just - Radiohead

6. Debaser - The Pixies

7. New York City Cops - The Strokes

8. You Can Call Me Al - Paul Simon

9. Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd

10. Rocket Brothers - Kashmir





Now for most played:



1. Shadow Stabbing - Cake

2. Meeting the Remarkable Men - Harvey Danger

3. Loser - Beck

4. Flagpole Sitta - Harvey Danger

5. Main Offender - The Hives

6. You Can Call Me Al - Paul Simon

7. Blister in the Sun - Violent Femmes

8. Distance - Cake

9. Palm of Your Hand - Cake

10. Violet Hill - Coldplay



To be fair, my iTunes for some reason hasn't counted a lot of my plays. For example, I know I've listened to Burning Down the House more than three times, but that's what it says on iTunes. So this isn't entirely accurate.





And for the bonus question, I'd say Napalm Death because I've never heard of them and I'm really knowledgable about music. Plus the band name sounds like one of those stupid death-core-black-grind-whatever bands.

Runner up I'd say would be Motley Crue because they were just another band from the 80s hair metal scene which only produced a few good bands (Poison, Ratt, Bon Jovi if you count them as part of that scene).

Please don't listen to the people dissing The Kinks, ELO, and Aerosmith. Aerosmith is one of the greatest blues-based hard rock bands of the 70s and 80s. The Kinks are classic and they inspired TONS of bands. ELO paved the way for arty, keyboard-based rock.

5. Dave Matthews Band - Typical Situations

6. My Morning Jacket - Gideon

7. Neil Young - War of Man

8. Nick Drake - Way To Blue

9. Electric Light Orchestra - 10538 Overture

Coldplay - Moses

Coldplay - Low

Bob Dylan - Mr. Tambourine Man

The Wallflowers - One Headlight

Dave Matthews Band - Crash Into Me

Third Eye Blind - Wounded
