Your Personal Top 10 Favorite Songs?

[crguitarman]

I was playing a little solo thing at a backyard BBQ recently and several people came up and asked me if I would play some of my favorite songs (what?) and oh, by the way, what WERE my favorite songs? So I sat down today and figured out my own personal Top 10, in no particular order. For the record, I currently perform* only six of them.

My Top 10 Favorites:

Time Won't Let Me - The Outsiders
96 Tears - ? & The Mysterians
Fast As You - Dwight Yoakam*
Stormy Monday Blues - Muddy Waters?*
If The House Is Rocking - Stevie Ray Vaughan
Still Got The Blues - Gary Moore
In The Midnight Hour - Wilson Pickett*
Folsom Prison Blues - Johnny Cash*
Pancho & Lefty - Willie Nelson & Merle Haggard*
Call Me The Breeze - J J Cale*

Now there are many, many more songs that I dearly love, but these would have to be on the iPod that washed up with me on a deserted island...

How about you? And which of yours do YOU perform?

Years ago I put together a list of my favourite songs and then decided to put them on a tape to listen to in the car, Unfortunately after a few playings I started to get fed up with them and they were no longer my favourites!

Nowadays I don't have a list but if I did it would include artists as diverse as:
The Beatles
Elvis Presley
Jeff Beck
Led Zeppelin
Early Eric Clapton
Deep Purple
The Who
Sensational Alex Harvey Band(very underated band)
Jimi Hendrix
They are the ones that spring immediately to mind but there are a whole lot more that I can't think of at the moment, and it's to hard to stop at 10


Did you know that T.R.O.U.B.L.E was recorded by Elvis long before Travis Tritt?

Mine are:-

1. Thunder Road by Bruce Springsteen.
2. Romeo and Juliet by Dire Straits.
3. Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits.
4. Its only love by Bryan Adams and Tina Turner.
5. No Retreat no Surrender by Bruce Springsteen.
6. American Trilogy by Elvis.
7. Secrets in the street by Nils Loffgren.
8. Kyrie by Mr. Mister.
9. Broken Wings by Mr. Mister.
10. Paradise by the dashboard light by Meatloaf.

Who could argue with that..............hmm?

I like listening to Travis Tritt myself I love that country rock sound.
I would have to say I would have him on par with alot of the country greats. I love him doing the race is on with ~George Jones, If memory serves me right it was released on the Bradley Barn session. Elvis was a better actor than him though ;D
