Had to Play Today (Order Doesn't Mean Terribly Much Here)

Bunch of good songs, here. Gonna compile a list or seven of the songs I can competently play on guitar. I might be happy to teach these, or at least provide some tabs

1June:actually was playing these all in D tuning. When not jamming along to the recording, I tend to use whatever key is my open string / 7 up, a strategy which may change if I ever get around to singing at the same time

1.Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere
2.Blind Faith - Blind Faith
3.Queens Of The Stone Age - Queens Of The Stone Age
4.Mastodon - Blood Mountain
5.Elvis Presley - Can't Help Falling in Love

Love It All - 30 Fave Releases Since Y2K

Howzat, two of my all-time fav releases recently turned 10 and 5 years old. They should get anniversary reissues. Make those great bands some more dough, among other things...

Numbers 10 and 28 on this list are so good, I can't really pick favourite songs. Could say that Sons' opening number is a bit forgettable, and The Difference Engine's fourth track might be just a bit too weird for me. Still, I score 'em at around 98 point two. Best possible result, eh?

1.Fatboy Slim - Halfway between the Gutter and the Stars
2.Queens Of The Stone Age - Rated R
3.Offspring - Conspiracy of One
4.Eidolon - Nightmare World
5.Muse - Origin of Symmetry

Some Of The Best Music Ever Made: Syk's Picks Of Les '80s

They were the best of times, they were the worst of times. Then thrash kicked glam out of the way, and once again, it was the best of times. Haha. Def Leppard's debut came close. Box of Frogs may yet make an appearance (or two). (Probably not two... something in the air there's just rather Average.)

1.Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden
2.Diamond Head - Lightning To The Nations
3.Jeff Beck - There and Back
4.Iron Maiden - Killers
5.Neil Young - Trans

Why These Are My Favourite Albums: Avant-80s Selections From Perfect Or Near-Perfect Works

Here they are, in order of year, and order of personal preference within each year. My utterly favourite songs from pre-1980 classics, rendered in my never-really-humble opinion, as everything should be.

Yes, that last bit may have been a touch of sarcasm. But this isn't. With few exceptions, every song on each album that made the list rocks - that's why I've rated them 9 or 10 - but these are my absolute favourites:

1.Deep Purple - Shades Of Deep Purple
2.Neil Young - Neil Young
3.Jethro Tull - This Was
4.Cream - Wheels of Fire
5.The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Electric Ladyland
