Here it is the third of January and I have nothing to do but kill time until classes begin on Monday Jan. 7th.
So I am thinking about the conversation with Blade and what my top 5 rock songs would be. I think it would have to go something like this:
5. Freebird - Lynryd Skynyrd (Heard it 50 billion times but it's an anthem I prefer Tuesday's Gone)
4. Highway Star - Deep Purple (this album is amazing and I like it better than Smoke on the Water)
3. L.A. Woman - The Doors (Just a killer tune)
2. Paint it Black - Rolling Stones (One of the best Stones tunes and just a dark tune)
1. Kashmir - Led Zeppelin (Not my favorite tune by them but it has everything)
Now I am sure Blade will have an opinion on my 5 and I will be sure to take it into consideration when he emails me, but I don't think you can argue with these songs. Blade and I used to have such great conversations about Rock n Roll...it's hard to find people to talk about music with like you could with him.
Now one of my favorite bands of today and a band that will never be in the top 5 great rock songs is the Supersuckers. If anything they will be in the top 5 greatest rock bands no one has heard of. You should check them out. They have a little bit of everything, country, blues, rock and come great covers. I always put them on my CD when I burn a new one. After all like their website states they are the greatest rock n roll band since 1988. One tune that is simply awesome is "Pretty Fucked Up" here is a live version I found on youtube: Let's Watch
How can you not sing along to that. Kick ass! You can hear more at http://www.supersuckers.com
They are also incredible to see live. Just a fun rock show.
