"I'm virtually free to do whatever I want, but I try to remember so is everybody else..." - Todd Snider
listened to it a couple of days ago, actually.
that song actually caused me many nights of unrest. anyone who has seen Twister knows the song from when the gang first went out to chase some tornadoes...a character named Rusty played the song.
at the time, i couldn't place my finger on the song, but knew it from somewhere. missed it in the credits. went home, went through almost my entire record collection. even looked at Deep Purples Fireball album...looked right at the title of the song, and went "nah." i think it was literally two years later before i actually figured it out!
All time? Can't be done..... here's my favorite songs from 1985-1990
Rubber Ring - The Smiths
Eye of Fatima - Camper Van Beethoven
Green Mind - Dinosaur Jr.
Can't Hardly Wait - The Replacements
Good Advices - R.E.M.
Its hard to narrow it down to 5 but here we go:
Creep - Radiohead
Dont let me down - The Beatles
What is life - George Harrison
Baba O'reilly - The Who
Things - Paul Westerberg
Things - Paul Westerberg
Good song, saw Westerberg last saturday, it reaffirmed my faith in music.

3. Everybody's Girl - Rick Springfield
4. Telegraph Road - Dire Straits

I've been pickin' through my thoughts. It's a shame my judgement rots.Green Mind - Dinosaur Jr.
