[LisaM]

1. "Dirty Work" by Steely Dan

Hey! Don't you have to give an example?

[sundog]

3. ack!

i love steely dan :P

[LisaM]

9. Their music is probably over my head

I find it too synthesized for one thing, though I know people, including musicians, who LOVE them and what they've accomplished. I like "Dirty Work" because I find it to be emotionally charged; I think their other songs are just technical accomplishments.

However, I did put that in there because I knew it would spur debate among Steely Dan lovers.

Did you put in a pick?

[sundog]

10. can't buy a thrill is one of the all time greats

:D

[LisaM]

12. WHERE'S YOUR PICK?

I'm going to tell progmom if you won't pick something yourself.

[sundog]

13. still thinking

:P

[Allenberg]

25. Arms Wide Open - Creed.

:blush:

[tjwmason]

2. Adapting for the shift in genre

Schubert's setting of the Ave, Maria.

Not only do I usually dislike Schubert - I majorly dislike Tenors - this has both and I love it.

[Initech]

4. Black Eyed Peas - Let's Get Retarded

Well hey, it's better than the Clear Channel friendly version "Let's Get It Started".

[WeRQ4U]

5. Galileo by Indigo Girls for one.

Sin Wagon by Dixie Chicks is another

[skypilot]

6. "Open Your Heart to Me" ---Madonna.

Can't stand her. Like the song.

[asthmaticeog]

7. "Girlfriend" by Matthew Sweet

The guy blows asswater, but that tune's badass.

[sundog]

8. good pick, but that whole album was pretty good

fuck the rest of his shit :P

[eyepaddle]

18. What he said!

Well put! :rofl:

[intheflow]

11. Right Now by Van Halen

I've always been pretty neutral about Van Halen, they don't bug me some much I have to change the station yet I'd never buy their albums. Except for "Right Now." I. Love. That. Song.

Also, obscure but... "Against the Grain" by Garth Brooks.

[Zomby Woof]

14. "Sweet Emotion" by Aerosmith

By and large, Aerosmith blows chunks - too white/suburban and "klassic rawk, man" for my tastes - but this one I won't turn off if it comes on the radio. The loping bass line at the beginning, and the rhythmic changes make it somewhat interesting. One gem in an enormous pile of dung.

[sundog]

15. oh good one... i usually hate aerosmith, but that song is good

[Left Is Write]

23. I can't hear "Sweet Emotion" without thinking of Dazed & Confused.

[LisaM]

27. Yes, but their one gem is "Dream On"

their only good song, imo.

[dawg]

16. Hotel California

I don't like the Eagles, but I love that song.

[sundog]

17. orange crush by rem

:shrug:

:evilgrin:

[no name no slogan]

19. "One of These Nights" by the Eagles

that's one of two songs by them i like, but I don't know why. :shrug:

[jpgray]

20. "Everybody's Been Burned" by David Crosby (performed by the Byrds)

I used to think every song of his was a shitty mess (see "Mind Gardens" on the same album), but that one I like pretty well. :D

[mvd]

21. "Hideway" - Hilary Duff

Though it would be a lot prettier out of her hands. Also, I like "Pieces Of Me" by Ashlee Simpson. I'm not crazy about Ashlee, though I like her more than her sister and Hilary Duff.

[Left Is Write]

22. Do It Again by Steely Dan.

I can't stand them normally, but I like that song.

[miss_kitty]

24. "Walk This Way"

by Aerosmith

[Capn Sunshine]

26. "Route 66 " by Depeche Mode

I realize a lot of you 80's gen xers worship these guys, but they're so BORING.

But their version of this chestnut is pretty cool.

[mitchum]

28. "Take It To The Limit"...and I DETEST the Eagles
