I got this idea from another forum, but I think it's a good one.

Name one track from each of your 5 favourite bands/artists that gives the best impression of what they are all about.

I'll take that up....

1) Liberty by Steve Vai....balls-to-the-wall guitar, bass and drums and a cracking tune....

2) Recipe for Love by Harry Connick, Jnr....still probably the best living big-band singer and this is catchy, no nonsense dinner party stuff - Sinatra eat your heart out....

3) Open Up - The Dirty Dozen Brass Band...rarely heard in the UK but great, funky, screamin', low down bare-bones funk.

4) Superstition - Stevie Wonder....just....'cos I had to put a Stevie Wonder song in here somewhere and they don't come any better than this.....

5) Escape/Chase/Saying Goodbye from ET - The Extra Terrestrial by John Williams...a legend of a piece from a legend of film-scoring - this is as good as it gets....15 minutes of adventure, wonder, joy and tears....

Sod.

Feel free to add more, I just wanted to suggest a limit so's those with big lists didn't decide not to post because their list would be too long.

Funny you mentioned him, as I've just seen the film about him and have an album on it's way. I'll check that out if it doesn't include that one.

OMG I never knew that Nine Inch Nails's version was a cover! I love that song, and I love this version!

It was Johnny Cash who covered Nine Inch Nails Very Happy


Yeah, someone told me that last night. Still two versions of a good song, though. I have to admit, I did think it was strange that NIN would have done a cover and put it on an album, but I just assumed it was that way around because cash was making music since before Trent was born.

I wouldn't be a light critic of anyone covering NIN, because they are one of my favourite bands. It's weird how I got to like them, though, because I didn't like their Broken album the 1st time around. For some odd reason, though, I still bought pretty hate machine after that at a 2nd hand shop and then broken grew on me, and I carried on collecting and listening. I'm a strange cookie, because I had a similar reaction when i started listening to the cure and ended up owning all their albums bar one, of those released between ?1977? & 1995.

The best impression of whatv my favourite bands are about? Thats a tough one. People will probably disagree with me on this but:

Green Day - Basket Case
Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit or Come As You Are
My Chemical Romance - Welcome To The Black Parade
Fall Out Boy - Sugar, We're Going Down
The Offspring - Can't Get My Head Around You

You should try and check out the video for the Johnny Cash version as it's excellent as it totally complements the song - It was filmed not long before he died and it's just him and his wife mixed with scenes from when he was young. They both knew that he didn't have much time left when they made it and it makes for a really touching video.


Someone else on another forum mentioned it. It's a good video, I have seen it.
