Nice-- I thought about Sunday Bloody Sunday

But anything pre-1980 stopped being music of the last 25 years 3 years ago You've gotta save some of your list for the "Greatest Music of the last 38 years" thread... The whole point of cuttin it off at 25 was to keep the 70's out of this (Too much good stuff, and most people's lists are heavy on the 70's classic stuff so it's hard to choose).

In no particular order:

Smashing Pumpkins - Today
Nirvana - Polly
Pearl Jam - Alive
Dave Matthews Band - Don't Drink the Water
Ben Harper - Glory and Consequence
Marc Broussard - Home
Oasis - D'Ya Know What I Mean
Soundgarden - My Wave
RHCP - Under the Bridge
Widespread Panic - Space Wrangler

(btw, this list could change daily)

I'm an old time rocker. I will not listen to todays music. Ive listened to some Nickelback and stuff like that. I'm pretty much committed to my music like I am to my sports teams.

Nice, yeah my list could change daily as well.. Hell, I'm already thinking of editing The Verve out of mine, great song, but is it really in my top 10 in the last 25 years??

I also couldn't decide between Today, Bullet With Butterfly Wings, or 1979, so I just ended up leaving the Pumpkins off my list, which probably isn't right...

I guess my mood today dictated Today being on there. It could be Zero, Here is No Why, Bullet, 1979, Mayonnaise, Disarm, Cherub Rock...

1. Every song on Alice in Chains Jar of Flies
2. Free bird - Lynrd Skynryd
3. Black Sabbath - Paranoid
4. Under Pressure - Queen
5. Battery - Metalica
6. For whom the Bell tolls - Metallica
7. Rocky Raccoon - Beetles
8. LA Woman - Doors
9. 2000 Light Years From Home - Rolling Stones
10. Tangerine - Led Zeppelin


So many Favorite songs............. Not enough Choices, my mood could change any one of these selections at any time. In fact almost every song on the White Album by the Beatles could replace any other choice..............

Almost your entire list is older than 25 years...

I love your choices people, great songs-- But 25 years damnit!! 25 years!!

Thank you, TIA

Dude, I couldnt even tell you the popular bands right now. I am caught up in the older stuff. To much good music to sift thru.

I still think of Alice in Chains as a newer band. Mad Season deserves a slot on there too. I cannot believe they didnt make more of an impact.

LMFAO, Yeah my bad..... LMAO, I guess 25 years was allot closer than I realized.

1) Any Tool song
2) Shadow of the Sun-Audioslave
3) Long Gone Days-Mad Seasons(the whole CD is great)
4) Elephant Ghost, Scott Taylor-Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains
5)Waiting Phase 1 and 2-Porcupine Tree
6) Everything in it's Right Place-Radiohead
7) Twist of Cain-Danzig
8) Spill the Blood-Slayer
9) Renegades of Funk-Rage Against the Machine
10) Don't Change-INXS

It's really tough to do a top 10 and not include songs older than 25 years, I love so many bands from years past.

That last INXS song is from 1982 but I can't keep it off my list.

I almost threw "Reign in Blood", or "Angel of Death" In my list, but I always feel guilty listening to Slayer. I guess there are ten Anthrax songs I could put in there as well.

"3) Long Gone Days-Mad Seasons(the whole CD is great)" Thank God someone else knows who they are, The time that CD was released was special to me. All the songs on that CD was great. Great choices.
