We're doing a countdown of the 50 greatest rock songs ever on Trinity FM next week. Anyone got suggestions for what they want to see there? I was going to do a rough list tonight but all I can think of is Sweet Child O'Mine and the theme tune to Jeopardy...

Evilution

Thats a mans job :eek:

You gotta stick some queen in there! And I wouldn't be impartial to some thin lizzy, bowie, pink floyd, pixies, black sabbath. And depending on your definition of rock, some clapton, canned heat, cat stevens..

EDIT: Wait I should be more specific. Ok respectively: Any queen song (maybe 2 or 3), boys are back in town, heros, wish you were here, where is my mind, paranoid, layla, let's work together, wild world.

Well this'll obviously be coloured by my own personal taste, but whatever, here's a few songs that won't be mentioned by many:

<something by Pink Floyd>
Radiohead: My Iron Lung
Smashing Pumpkins: Cherub Rock/Soma/Bullet with Butterfly Wings (pick one)
Tool - Lateralus
urm..and you should include Nancy Boy by Placebo just to piss a few people off.
perhaps Master of Puppets by Metallica, or an alternative..

Agent Smith

any britney spears record.....

But we have a problem here. This wan is in college now and you know what happens to a girl when she goes to college - she becomes either a feminist or a lesbian....or a feminist lesbian. Too big for her BOOTS!!!

i dunno we seem to go off topic in everyother thread, it seems a shame if we managed to stay ontopic.............

Agent Smith

no1 has to be stairway to heaven. class track.

Stargal

Yeah but kinda predictable... hmmm...

Bullet with Butterfly Wings will prob be there anyway... zeppelin... thin lizzy...

John

I sent you a big list from the DURNS account earlier. Some of them aren't exactly great but some were classic.

sleepingbeauty

hrm i could make a mighty big list here but im too lazy and also my mind has seemed to have gone blank!! yeah pretty much reiterate everyone else: zepplin, floyd (wish you were here), radiohead, smashing pumpkins(i have serious emotional attatchment to 1979). maybe some hendrix aswell?

John

If the Velvet Underground aren't included I'm going to lambast you for it. Lambast I say. You've got one album on your iTunes so you've no excuse.

Stargal

Damn your nerdish knowledge of our music collection *shakes fist towards DURNS room/looks impressed*

Yeah Velvet Underground will be there, Radiohead, Muse, Pumpkins, maybe Jeff Buckley, definitely Zeppelin, possibly an overabundance of Weezer, Thin Lizzy.. i don't know my brain is fried right now...

Agent Smith

Agent Smith

nevermind.....

Agent Smith

Stargal

Agent Smith

Kevin_rc_ie

what? did some one mention lesbianism?

interesting fact someone told me today. homosexuals. you'd think the word game from homo (man latin) and sexus (sex latin). its actually homo (same greek) and sexus (latin). like homologue.

Agent Smith

Agent Smith

no... the latain tribe settled in greece 10 years after the fall of troy, being ex-trojans thay spoke a greek dialect that later became Latin, like the way english came from the west germanic dialect...

sorry my rolleye's didn't cover it, wasn't interested, just decided to randomly comment.

Kevin_rc_ie

as,

i was slightly aware that latin came from greek and roman lifestyle was based on the greek (gods, laws blah blah blah). But what has homo and homo got to do with tribes and troy and blah.

the word homosexual is contemporay. well,

Agent Smith

Hmmm no-one's mentioned the cure. In Between Days or Just Like Heaven or A Forest would be good.
