I can't believe Martin left Carly Simon - You're So Vain off from his list.
Who’s Carly Simon???
🔔 end
Trent reznor borrowed lyrics from that song
@@Joefaf104 Youre joking, right?
You mean Carly Simon redid a Faster Pussycat song?
Martin and Pete are the best. Friday is my favorite day because of these two guys
love Martins picks...very eclectic
They have the perfect chemistry
Great video Pete and Martin here are my ten favorite songs of all time:

My top ten for today, very tough exercise but here we go, could be in any order :
- Mad Season - River of Deceit
- Genesis - Supper's Ready
- Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights
- Soundgarden - Jesus Christ Pose
- Queen - The Show Must Go On
- The Cars - Just What I Needed
- Caravan - Nine Feet Underground
- Stone Temple Pilots - Big Empty
- Buckethead - Nottingham Lace
- Camel - Lady Fantasy
Nice list. That Caravan song is on mine, and seriously considered Camel as well. That Cars track a classic.
Mad Season,that is a great pic
That’s a fantastic list. I think Supper’s Ready is my favourite prog epic and I would have to include it in my all time favourite song list too.
River of Deceit has the greatest lyrics ever....what a song. I'd have to go Soothsayer for BH.
I also picked Jesus Christ Pose!! Sweet! And nice work on the Mad Season
From 1-10, I can't get enough of the following:
Stargazer - Rainbow
Blackbird - Alter Bridge
Kid Charlemagne - Steely Dan
Inside Looking Out - Grand Funk Railroad
Proud Mary - CCR
War Pigs - Black Sabbath
In My Time Of Dying - Led Zeppelin
Shine On You Crazy Diamond - Pink Floyd
Jungleland - Bruce Springsteen
Sultans Of Swing - Dire Straits
Off the top of my head
1. Mountain Song- Jane's Addiction
2. Holiday in Cabodia- Dead Kennedys
3. Struck a Nerve- Bad Religion
4. Stay Free- The Clash
5. In Between Days- The Cure
6. Gotta be Somebody's Baby- Jackson Browne
7. Home- Naked Raygun
8. Alison- Elvis Costello
9. Stop- Jane's Addiction
10. Vanilla Blue- Naked Raygun
Some great stuff here. I don't run into a lot of Naked Raygun fans. My favorite from Dead Kennedys is probably Bleed For Me.
@@toddhill7483 yeah Bleed for Me and the Owl are two other DK favorites. I did my list at work without looking at my collection.
Wonder Beer, Only in America, and What Poor Gods we do Make would be other NR songs.
The Mountain Song is like the perfect rock song. So much energy.
Derek and the dominoes - layla
Byrds - mr. Tambourine man
Beatles - something
Who - wont get fooled again
Kinks - you really got me
Pink floyd - time
Beach boys - god only knows
Radiohead - paranoid android
George harrison - my sweet lord
Suede - the drowners
Genesis Supper's Ready my #1. Classic, epic, I could go on and on. The "Apocalypse in 9/8" and the "New Jerusalem" sections still gives me goosebumps to this day. Kudos to Pete for calling out this masterpiece.
I’ve recently been getting into Genesis (I collect records) and when I first heard Supper’s Ready I didn’t really get it. I thought it was cool and all, but I didn’t really process how good it was the first listen. It took me a few to really dig into it. Now I can’t get enough of that song (and Watcher of the Skies and Get ‘Em Out by Friday). The interlude from 13:35 to 14:14 is some of the most haunting music I’ve heard, with the note at 14:10 giving me goosebumps every time. Weird part to bring up I guess, but that note in particular on the actual vinyl disc (sounds unremarkable on digital) literally gives the same sinking feeling as being on a roller coaster or something.

@@robinsonbaudry9305 Agreed. The chorus is one of those that gets in your head and I sing it constantly.
"Old Town" is one of my all-time favorites! So pleased to see it getting the love it deserves.
Oddly enough, the top five were pretty easy. After that, it became almost impossible...
1-The Year of the Cat - Al Stewart
2-Don't Fear the Reaper - BOC
3-American Pie - Don McLean
4-More Than a Feeling - Boston
5-Tangled Up In Blue - Bob Dylan

Carry On My Wayward Son - Kansas
Rhiannon - Fleetwood Mac
Brandy (You're a Fine Girl) - Looking Glass
Sundown - Gordon Lightfoot
Do It Again - Steely Dan
Out of the gazillion songs out there, Couldn't Get It Right would make it to my top 10 as well. I never get tired of it.
@@Protometal66 It's been one of my favorites ever since it was first released.
@@Stormheart911 I remember being at my mom's restaurant in 82? I think and it came on the radio. It would be a few years later before I found out who it was but I finally got it. I'm mainly a hard rock / metal fan but there's something addictive about that song. I have it on a streaming playlist at work. Like I said, I never tire if it. Great tune. Glad to see someone else enjoys it as much as I do.
@@Protometal66 Same here!
Just getting into Al Stewart - he's quite talented and Year Of The Cat is mysterious and beautiful, with superb melodies and textures! Love On The Border and Time Passeges as well! Just bought Year Of The Cat/ Night Owl twofer on CD! Peace.
I agree that this is almost a silly exercise but I’ll give it a shot.
1) Go All The Way - The Raspberries
2) I Only Have Eyes For You - The Flamingos
3) Cold Sweat - James Brown
4) Oh Candy - Cheap Trick
5) I’m The One - Van Halen
6) Prelude/One For Me & One For You - The Pat Travers Band
7) E.T.I. - Blue Oyster Cult
8) Something To Hide - Journey
9) So What - Miles Davis
10) Gates Of Babylon - Rainbow
Ask me tomorrow and the list will probably have a bunch of changes.
E.T.I. probably should have been one of my honorable mentions -- definitely my favorite BOC song.
Thank you, Martin for your number 7
. Rick Parfitt was an utter genius on rhythm guitar. He was ... dare I say it ... a sledgehammer.

Some solid songs Richard.
Really nice list
Popoff and Pardo are at it again and this time with a seemingly impossible task though each added some rules guiding them in selecting their songs. Fascinating show, gents, with a surprise here or there. The following list may not meet all the subjective criteria but they belong on a personal list because despite how many times each has been heard, there is alway and excitement to hearing them again. But though listed 1 to ten, all are number one in this list.
1. All Along The Watchtower - The Jimi Hendrix Experience
2. Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding - Elton John
3. Stranger In A Strange Land - Leon Russell
4. Isn't It Amazing - Hothouse Flowers

7. Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong
8. Just One Victory - Todd Rundgren
9. The Song Is Over - The Who
10. The Wizard - Uriah Heep
Even now, could go back and make a change and add a lot of singles from the 60s but have to stop somewhere. Thanks, Martin and Pete, for a challenge that was simple and hard at the same time. There ya go!
Nice to see a mention for Hothouse Flowers, saw them a few months ago,Liam still singing great...
a new drinking game: take a shot each time Martin or Pete says "Love it to Death"!
YES!!! lol CHEERS!
Or "amazing."
You'd be on your way to the ER with alcohol poisoning!
@@katesjanice haha so true!
@@dw.dunphy or even "tour de force."
While I was able to put together a fairly accurate and representative list of top-10 albums for the other day's video, there's no way I can do the same with individual songs. There are probably 100 songs in my top-10 😄
Thanks, guys.
I did it here lol a top 100.
“Betty Davis Eyes” is Kim Carnes not Bonnie Tyler guys.
On next week's Friday at the Funhouse, I wouldn't necessarily be surprised if these two take a moment to mention the river of responses to this video correcting them over the whole "Bette Davis Eyes" business. 😜
Love these lists, even when I disagree; there’s always a hidden gem I’d never heard of that sends me down a music rabbit hole.
1.Rush - Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres
2. Judas Priest - Nightcrawler
3. King Crimson - Epitaph
4. Mystery - Through Different Eyes
5. Yes - Awake
6. Riverside - The Same River
7. Steven Wilson - Drive Home
8. Steve Hackett - Spectral Mornings
9. Porcupine Tree - Anesthetize
10. K2 - Infinite Voyage: Chapter 1
Honorable mentions
1. John Wetton - Desperate Times
2. Asia - Ready To Go Home
3. Heart - There's The Girl
4. Pat Benatar - Love Is A Battlefield
5. ELPowell - The Score
6. Angelica - Nothing Else You Can Break
7. Kataonia - Idle Blood
8. Pain Of Salvation - Ashes
9. Derek Sherinian - Clouds Of Ganymede
10. Seventh Wonder - Welcome To Mercy Falls
Wow. Finally saw someone who actually listens to an Asia album with John Payne (singer/bass). Thought Asia's *"Silent Nation"* (w/ John Payne) was Payne' & Dowes best album. Loved that one.
@@kevinthetruckdriver353 I feel the Asia John Payne era doesn't get enough love but I felt they made some fantastic music during that time, Silent Nation, Aura and Aqua are my all time favourites
Martin's taste buds on music is far from mine, BUT every once in awhile he mention an album that interests me or have forgotten. Pet's picks are more in line with my taste buds. Having Pete and Martin on at the same time is always enjoyable.
i'm exactly the opposite Martin seems to have way more eclectic musical taste especially the way he appreciates Punk and new wave bands (Pete is very very old school Carly Simon and Looking Glass ....oh boy .....lol) he need more of a indie grungy edge, but i guess like he says everybody hears things different.
Top ten. Great exercise.
Comfortably Numb - Floyd
More Than a Feeling - Boston
Dust In The Wind - Kansas
Subdivisions - Rush
Perfect Strangers - Purple
Strutter - KISS
Dogs - Floyd
Moving In Stereo - Cars

Strong list of songs.

6 Don't Fear the Reaper

My top 10 (at least as of this moment): #10 Elvis Presley - Jailhouse Rock, #9 Jeff Healey - How Long Can A Man Be Strong, #8 Bob Seger - Main Street, #7 Doors - Riders On The Storm, #6 Molly Hatchet - Bounty Hunter, #5 Beatles - Here Comes The Sun, #4 Rod Stewart - Maggie Mae, #3 Dire Straits - In The Gallery, #2 Beth Hart/Joe Bonamassa - I'd Rather Be Blind, and #1 Jimi Hendrix - Little Wing. Each has a special place in my heart because they bring back memories from a specific event, place and time.
Adrian Belew "1967", so glad Martin suggested this song to me a while back. Love it the lyrics on that song! Fun show guys.
Me as well. That album is fantastic. I think he utilized his daughter for the vocal on Oh Daddy.
Thank you Pete and Martin for this tough episode. Currently my top 10 songs in no particular order are Utopia - Ikon, Van der Graaf Generator - Man-Erg, Steely Dan - Green Earrings, Genesis - Suppers Ready, The Kinks - Celluloid Heroes, Big Big Train - The Wide Open Sea, Van der Graaf Generator - Squid/Octopus, Beach Boys - That’s Not Me, Goblin - Suspiria and Supertramp - Crime of the Century. My few honorable mentions (11 and onwards) include Philip Glass - Changing Opinion, Jethro Tull - Minstrel in the Gallery and Baker Street Muse, Pete Townshend - Give Blood, The Who - Baba O’ Riley, Peter Gabriel - San Jacinto, David Bowie - Ashes to Ashes, Peter Hammill - A Louse Is Not a Home (very powerful song), Camel - Lunar Sea, Gentle Giant - The Boys in the Band, Dead Can Dance - Muse and Pink Floyd - Dogs.
Great picks from VDGG, Kinks, Steely Dan, Genesis, GG. Sal
@@frank.s.castro thank you. You have some excellent picks as well. I am primarily a prog fan along with the Kinks, the Who and Supertramp... heavy metal has never been my cup of tea but I appreciate the musicianship of Deep Purple and Black Sabbath. Very difficult to pick a top 10 songs ... they always will change from one year to the next.
i like the use of ‘currently’☝🏻

What iIs Life - George Harrison
Save the Country - Laura Nyro
Betcha By Golly Wow - The Stylistics

Anekdoten! Nice. I saw them live once. Goosebumps.
I love "Still of The Night" too, one of my all time favourites, and the break in the middle of that song, wow, does it get any better than that, just killer song.

I'm guessing Pete is gonna pick Brandy as number 1. Haven't watched yet I will leave my prediction there right or wrong. This is hard too many songs, but I tried to think about songs that when they come on the radio, I sit in my car to hear the whole thing even if I've reached my destination.

@@thomaspuhlmann1459 Agreed. Although I respect everyone’s opinions, no one wants to see a top 15 that consists entirely of hits.
You, my friend, can now join me, in having the best taste of all time in music! Yeah, those Zeppelin guys came up with some catchy little ditties! Don't change a thing - you are dialed in!

@@toddhill7483 Was about to write the same. The Vigil is my favorite BÖC song from a very under-appreciated album,
Martin, I LOVE you!! Backwater, Status Quo!?? WOW.
Pete, you almost gave me whiplash going from Brandy to Snowblind. You also made history: I guarantee this is the first time those two songs have been mentioned in the same list anywhere, ever. 😄And that's o.k. Sabbath is my favorite band but I STILL like Brandy (doesn't everybody?) after hearing it a million times. It is indeed pop perfection. I know your history with that song, so I'm not surprised to see it find a place in your top ten.
In no particular order and this could change.....
Rainbow - stargazer
Prong - whose fist is this anyway
Golden earring - she flys on strange wings
Rolling Stones - can't you hear me knocking
T. rex - rip off
Aerosmith - same old song and dance
Rod Stewart - foolish behavior
UFO - rock bottom
Sepultura - refuse resist
Scorpions - sails of charon
My top 10, in no particular order. 1 The Damned. The Dog. 2 Suburban Lawns. Janitor. 3 New Model Army. 225. 4 XTC. Yacht Dance. 5 Pink Floyd. Wot's uh the Deal. 6 Killing Joke. Goodbye to the Village. 7 Caravan. Nine Feet Underground. 8 Sparklehorse. More Yellow Birds. 9 X. A tie between Sugarlight and White Girl. 10 King Crimson. I Talk to the Wind.
Great list. Todd. 👍 I couldn’t just make up my mind for a Floyd song and I totally forgot about King Crimson.
Hi Todd!!...Great list...More Yellow Birds is such a beautiful song.
This was very enjoyable. I kept cutting away to listen to the songs recommended that I had never heard before.
You guys should continue doing this all the way to a "Top 100 Songs". Ten songs at a time
Yes indeed. 10 is not nearly enough.
Happy to hear Martin loves The Church! Such a great Band. I'm picking 10 of my favs of many that all could be #1..haha..In no order:
I'm just a Singer(In a Rockn' Roll Band)-The Moody Blues
Rebel Rebel-Bowie
The Rover-Led Zep
Sara Smile-Hall & Oates
Limelight-Rush
I'll Be Around-The Spinners
Under My Thumb-Rolling Stones
Southern Girls-Cheap Trick
Penny Lane-Beatles
Gloria-Van Morrison
Great list gazn. I've never heard that song by the Spinners so I'll check it out.
Actually, Gloria was THEM, a group Van Morrison was in.
@@toddhill7483 Thank-you, Todd:)
@@kimberlywalker3970 Yeah, I knew that. He wrote it nonetheless.
Kudos to everyone participating in this exercise - a 'Top Ten Songs of All-time' list? I couldn't; I'd never be satisfied, as there are too many I would hate leaving out!
By the way, "Bette Davis Eyes" is by Kim Carnes, not Bonnie Tyler.
Well, they did both have the raspy voice and they were both blonde.
@@j.woodbury412 There are similarities, for sure.
@@knightvisioniixv True. I can see where people would get them mixed up.
Raspy ? Blonde ? Was it Rod ?
@@glerp10000000000 Well, he does fit the criteria.
Child in Time - Deep Purple
The Writ - Black Sabbath
Foreplay Longtime - Boston
Hocus Pocus - Focus
Metamorphosis - Curved Air
A Light in the Black - Rainbow
No Quarter - Led Zeppelin
Pilgrim - Uriah Heep
Wuthering Heights - Kate Bush
Shine on You crazy Diamond - Pink Floyd
Hard to narrow it down to ten
Honourable mentions :
Minstrel in the Gallery - Jethro Tull
Paradox - Kansas
She flies on strange Wings - Golden Earring
Stairway to the Stars - Blue Öyster Cult
Telegraph Road - Dire Straits
Hey Dude - Kula Shaker
Beyond the Realms of Death - Judas Priest
A Cry from the Crypt - Candlemass
Xanadu - Rush
Crazy on You - Heart
In no particular order, my top 10 pop/rock songs at this moment:
Boston - More Than a Feeling
Fleetwood Mac - Dreams, Gypsy
John Denver - Annie's Song
Heart - Barracuda, Crazy on You
Beatles - While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Beach Boys - Good Vibrations
ELO - Mr Blue Sky
Journey - Dont Stop Believing
Hmmm. Top lifetime favorites that have really left a mark and never get tired of. No particular order
10 Penny Lane -Beatles
9 take the long way home - Supertramp
8 feeling satisfied - Boston
7 Carry-on my wayword son - Kansas
6 feelin that way/Anytime - journey
5 good vibrations - beach boys
4 Tightrope - ELO
3 the voice - moody blues
2 renegade - Styx
1 You and me song - Wannadies
Good songs with a lot of hooks.
1. The Byrds - I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better
A prototype for so much power pop, perfect jangly guitars, and it's pushed to the top for me by Gene Clark including one word in the chorus - "probably".
2. Flying Burrito Bros - Wild Horses
Stones song, but recorded before their Sticky Fingees version. So much yearning and longing in Gram Parsons' vocals.
3. Bob Dylan - Not Dark Yet. The best ever 'confronting mortality' song for me, with Bob's ragged, fried voice perfectly suiting the subject matter.
4. Big Black - Kerosene. Captures and evokes pure, over the top, melodramatic small town frustration & rage. Steve Albini's vocals sell this entirely, helped along by a guitar tone that sounds like needles in your brain.
5. Sex Pistols- Anarchy in the UK
So overplayed, yet I never get tired of the moment Johnny sings rrrrright...nowwwww, and the song kicking in. Buzzed every time
6. Funkadelic - Maggot Brain. The most 'emotional' extended guitar solo of all time. Approx 10 minutes but I wouldn't mind it lasting an hour.
7. Misfits - Where Eagles Dare
"I ain't no goddamn sonofabitch!"
8. The Replacements - Unsatisfied
Love Paul Westerberg's ragged soulful vocals on this.
9. Screaming Trees - Dollar Bill
Still can't believe Mark Lanegan is gone.
10. Otis Redding - I've Been Loving You Too Long (To Stop Now)
I don't think I need to say anything about this one.
Hm"s
The Only Ones - Another Girl, Another Planet
The Kinks - Waterloo Sunset
Rolling Stones - Sympathy for the Devil
Johnny Thunders - You Can't Put Your Arms Round a Memory
Sugar - If I Can't Change Your Mind
I wasn't aware Tom Petty covered the byrds. I thought he was original. Ty !
Stones song, NOT recorded before their Sticky Fingers versio.(released before.) See Gimme Shelter early dec 1969 🙂

@@toddhill7483 Thanks! I also thought about picking Starless and 21st Century Schizoid Man but i limited my list to 1 masterpiece per artist ;)
Thanks for another great Friday at the Funhouse episode gents! Much respect to you guys for whittling down the tons of music you enjoy to your favourite ten songs, for today anyway 😂
Brandy is awesome Pete one of my favorite songs on my ktel records.
I thought choosing Favourite Saxon albums was hard!!!
I'll give it a go...
Today's favourite songs of all time are:
Still too young to remember - it bites

Starship trooper - Yes
Say just words - paradise lost
Child in Time - Deep Purple

Ooo Perfect Water is so damn good!
Pete´s no.1 choice to me qualifies as not only best song, but also best guitar tone, best vocal and best video. Legendary stuff from my early teens.
Agree with Martin, "Renegade" is an incredible song.
By the way, Bonnie Tyler didn't sing "Bette Davis eyes", it's a Kim Carnes song,
Actually written by Jackie DeShannon who dated Jimmy Page in the 60's
and Pressure will blow off that album martin mentioned
REAAALLLLLYYYY LOVING THIS VIDEO, Pete. I know you probably get these all the time but I think it would be a great idea to one month have one of your subscribers every day of that month share their top 10 songs of all time. Would be interesting to hear others top 10 songs and why those songs mean so much to them. I would certainly love to participate if you were to do something like that. I'll post my top 10 in this discussion also.
Burn - Deep Purple
Angel From the Coast - Thin Lizzy
On and On - MSG
Dominance and Submission - BÖC
Children of the Sea - Black Sabbath
Let There Be Rock - AC/DC
Ace of Spades - Motörhead
Afterimage - Rush
Immigrant Song - Led Zeppelin
Outta Love Again - Van Halen
I'd pick Burn also from DP
Good list. Nothing from Rubber Soul?
@@toddhill7483 Thanks. This is my hard rock list. I have a couple more lists..,
Great one, guys but impossible.
Only starting in the rock era and not including many of the great songwriters of the big band Great American Songbook period, my ten could be:
1) God Only Knows -Brian Wilson
2) Yesterday- Paul McCartney
3) Something- George Harrison
4) Imagine- John Lennon
5) Alone again Naturally- Gilbert O’Sullivan
6) How Deep is your love- Barry Gibb
7) Moon River- Henry Mancini
8) Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on my head- Burt Bacharach
9) Goodbye to Love- Richard Carpenter
10) Favorite Things- Richard Rodgers
That's a mighty fine list, on a longer one I'd include some of those classics too. Couldn't even find room on mine for say a Billy Joel or a Sweet tune, next week the whole thing would probably look very different again anyway... :-)
Kansas - The Wall
Motorhead - Metropolis
Slade - Far Far Away
The Tubes - Don't Want to Wait Anymore
The Who - You Better You Bet
Mike Batt - Lady of the Dawn
Kiss - Love Gun
Mocedades - Eres Tu

ELO - Shine a Little Love
Van Halen - Unchained
Todd Rundgren - All the Children Sing
Lee Ritenour - Tied Up
Uriah Heep - Lady in Black

3) The Beach Boys - "God Only Knows" (Wilson/Asher)

10b) U2 - "Stay (Faraway So Close) (U2)
10c) Manic Street Preachers - "Ocean Spray"
10d) David Bowie - "All The Young Dudes"
10e) Peter Gabriel - "Mother Of Violence"
10f) Dinah Washington - "Stardust" (Carmichael/Parish)
Great list. "All the young dudes" is a beautiful song and I do prefer when Bowie sings it (though he wrote it for Mott the Hoople).
Great list. I have to comment on "All the Young Dudes" because I don't come across very many with a preference for Bowie's version; It's mine, too (Even though I still love Mott's version.)
I love the modulation from C to B flat in the chorus and yes Bowie is such a charismatic lead vocalist, he's tough to compete with, and the intro guitar lick also sounds fatter on Bowie's version. However one could argue that the harmony vocals are better on the Hoople version.
Really great show, there's so many great songs that I could almost have a different 10 every day, depending on how I'm feeling. Here's my top 10 for today.
1. Rush - Limelight
2. Toto - Endless
3. Kiss - Tears Are Falling
4. Deep Purple - Burn
5. Jefferson Starship - Jane
6. Al Stewart - Year Of The Cat
7. ELO - Mr Blue Sky
8. Boston - Can'tcha Say
9. Sweet - Fox On The Run
10. UFO - Shoot Shoot
Love "Jane" - used to be my first pick on the pub jukebox... What an intro!
Don't know if I could possibly come up with a top 10, but I know a few songs would have to be on here: Echoes and Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd, A Day In The Life and Let It Be by The Beatles, Don't Leave Me Now by Supertramp, Only Because of You by Roger Hodgson, Go Your Own Way by Fleetwood Mac, Jungleland by Bruce Springsteen (with the best sax solo I have ever heard:), Mama by Genesis, Maybe I'm Amazed by Paul McCartney...just to name a few.
My top ten as of right now...
1. Summoning of the Muse (Dead Can Dance), 2. Hallowed Be Thy Name (Iron Maiden), 3.The Green Manalishi (Fleetwood Mac), 4.Emerald (Thin Lizzy), 5. Love Like Blood (Killing Joke), 6. Fragile Dreams (Anathema), 7. Children of the Sea (Black Sabbath), 8. Child In Time (Deep Purple), 9. Get Me Out (New Model Army), 10. Les Dingues et les Paumés (Hubert-Félix Thiéfaine).
Will change tomorrow, of course
Great choice with Muse - Dead Can Dance. Hope that Pete may review this band some day.
Nice list. I’ll give them a listen to them today.
@@sdrandazzo Muse Is Fantastic!
@@carlsalazar4490 Sorry I Read That Wrong... lol
Yes, I also have an ever shifting list. Great to see Dead Can Dance here. Fantastic and unique stuff. I also have Killing Joke (Goodbye to the Village) and New Model Army (225) NMA just has too many great songs to be confined to a stubby top 10 list. Love Get me out. Impurity an excellent album.
How to boil down an entire life (well, almost) of listening to songs to a Top Ten list? Impossible, but you guys made it. Big kudos! Here's my offhand attempt, solely based on the "Does that song still give me goosebumps all over?" factor. The list might not be very metal, but then again, whaddaya gonna do?

@@jimmycampbell78 Right On! Those first singles, and first two albums, I was obsessed with in like 1994-1996.
Huge fan of the early Verve singles too.
Interesting list - love the more obscure stuff - I’ve got some homework to do.
