Once you have been tagged, you are supposed to write down the top 10 songs you cannot live without. The ones you can listen to over and over and never get tired of. They don't have to be in any particular order. At the end, choose X# of people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If you were tagged, it's because I want to know more about you. To do this, go to "notes" under tabs on your profile page, paste these instructions in the body of the note, type your 10 songs, tag X# of people, then click publish.

Boston - Foreplay/Longtime

Boston - Hitch a Ride
From 2:32 on it's the most wonderful minute and a half of recorded audio ever laid down on a basement multi-track.


Gary Moore - Still Got The Blues
Not sure if it's the guitar solo itself, or the perfectly balanced aggressive tone, but it makes me warm in all the right places.


Gary Moore - Shapes
This ain't a cover of the old song, it's boring holes in the old song, packing them full of dynamite, setting detonators, and lighting up the whole works from way too close for safety.

Beethoven - Symphony #7

Beethoven - Piano Sonatas [just can't pick one, sorry]

Led Zeppelin - Ramble On
Yeah, it's a binary sing-song between two slightly unresolved chords with a repetitive bass riff, with lyrics that I don't embrace one bit.  And it's fantastic.

Ted Nugent - Stranglehold
I don't usually manage to get out of bed until this comes around.

Styx - Fooling Yourself (Angry Young Man)

Badlands - Streets Cry Freedom
Undoubtedly the best damn band you've never heard of.  This is Jake E Lee keeping American rock alive while the likes of Faith no More and Nine Inch Nails trashed everything [/me waves at Robert].

Bob Seger - Bo Diddley (live)
This is Bob Seger keeping American rock alive while the hippies were handing off the torch - to DISCO.


Symphony X - The Odyssey
"To the woman that I love, my journey has begun.  When our eyes meet once more, there will be peace.  The taste of your lips... the warmth of your touch.  Again forever, two souls as one."
...
"Seems like forever, my eyes have been denied.  Home, I'm finally home."  I have come here, to make my dream come true.
