Top five songs of all time

[The Monkey]

Alright, my crackaz, I'm gonna need you to write down your top five (5) songs of all time. Go ahead, and don't forget, don't drink and drive!

 

[Absinthe]

This will be mad ****ing difficult. I'll probably change my mind on these later, but at this current moment...

"Ultravisitor" by Squarepusher
"Ziggomatic V17" by Aphex Twin
"Cichli" by Autechre
"Turquoise Hexagon Sun" by Boards of Canada
"Kid A" by Radiohead

 

[The Monkey]

Here's my list:

1. "Waterloo Sunset" by The Kinks
2. "Hey Jude" by The Beatles
3. "Like a Rolling Stone" by Bob Dylan
4. "God Only Knows" by The Beach Boys
5. "Sunny Afternoon" by The Kinks

Yes, I love the '60s.

 

[Zephos]

No Order. This is current. Will change in weeks from now.

"Bros" by Panda Bear
"Emily" by Joanna Newsom
"Idioteque" by Radiohead
"Smells like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana
"Teen Age Riot" by Sonic Youth

Now most of these are my top songs because they influenced my musical tastes (bar Bros and Emily, which I picked because they are favourites of my favourite songs). Smells like Teen Spirit might seem like a stereotypical choice, but without it I'd be listening to mainstream radio garbage like Fallout Boy and such. Idioteque was absolutely mindblowing when I first heard it and that led me down a road of electronica and genres related to it. And Teen Age Riot started my obsession with indie rock and independent music in general.

 

[Darkside55]

In no particular order

Genesis - That's All
Eric Clapton - Layla
ZZ Top - Sharp Dressed Man

I don't know what to put for the last two. After the top three there's too many songs fighting for a spot.

 

[soulslicer]

In no order, i'll put down rock songs only. I like 90's mainstream and others, so that's why they will go down here as the top songs.

My Last.fm reads these as my most played tracks

Foals – Balloons
Modest Mouse – Gravity Rides Everything
Foals – Hummer
The Sound of Animals Fighting – Act I: Chasing Suns
Modest Mouse – Convenient ParkingS

... which I don't particually agree with to be honest. Well, I agree with the Sound of Animals track, and Gravity Rides Everything by Modest Mouse, but not the other three.

That aside, here's what I'd say. These are the tracks that have truely been groundbreaking steps and moments in music for me.

1) Modest Mouse - Gravity Rides Everything
2) Squarepusher - Ultravisitor
3) The Sound of Animals Fighting - Act I: Chasing Suns
4) Aphex Twin - Vordhosbn
