23. Queensryche-"Screaming in Digital" (?)
24. Motorhead-"Born to Raise Hell" (1994)
25. Rush-"Xanadu" (1977)

That's quite the list, I think it would take me a long time to figure that out, top 10 would be easier, will try it myself.

I don't have any songs on your list in mind, but I do enjoy most on there and some fairly well. Like your list, it covers pretty much my generation of music.

Edit. Oh by the way Screaming in Digital is from Rage for Order from 1986, it probably felt left out without a date

Thanks for the "Screaming in Digital" date.

Even if it's just one song from one of your favourite bands, that's cool. I just happened to do that Top 25 list on another thread and thought I'd match up some songs to it. It was more difficult to pick just one song from each band, than I thought it would be. Just something to have fun with.

I don't know if I could compile such a list.....will have to give it some thought and report back in a bit.

What does make it harder is 25 different artists and your favorite song from them, I mean otherwise my top ten would be filled by Dark Side Of The Moon . It's a challenge and a fun one, I'll give it a try

...BTW, love your signature. Wish I'd have thought of it.

Thanks. Some of my friends and I were having a discussion about that scene, and I just kinda blurted it out. Thought it would make for a different signature. Trust me, there were no deep thoughts happening there. Speaking of which, remember Jack Handy?

I do. He had some VERY funny one liners.

This is hard to do, have been at it for a while and still don't have a list

No worries Pent. If it becomes a task, it won't be fun. Thanks for trying.

Actually not a task as I'm going through a lot of my music to do so and had to revisit much, it's fun but it seems there is always something I forget about and the list has been changing. It's a nice challenge as I said earlier and enjoying it quite much

[pentatonic]

Well this is what I came up with, kind of the best compromise I could do. Some are up there for different reasons. Either the artist was first or the strenght of the song itself. If I made this list 1 year ago it would have been different and I'm sure it will change with time.

1. Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb (1979)
2. Deep Purple - Highway Star (1972)
3. Porcupine Tree - Arriving Somewhere But Not Here (2005)
4. Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody - (1975)
5. The Beatles - While my Guitar Gently Weeps (1968)
6. Jimi Hendrix - Hey Joe (1967)
7. Robin Trower - Too Rolling Stoned (Bridge of Sighs 1974, great album)
8. Harmonium - Histoires Sans paroles (1975)
9. Rush - La Villa Strangiato (1978)
10. Genesis - The Cinema Show (1973)
11. Stevie Ray Vaughan - Riviera Paradise (1989)
12. Dream Theater - The Count of Tuscany (2009)
13. Umphrey's McGee - Hajimemashite (Live at The Murat 2007, Awesome album)
14. Supertramp - Crime of the Century (1974)
15. Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird (1973)
16. Yes - Starship Trooper (1971)
17. Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven (1971, a classic rock anthem, has to be there)
18. Traffic - The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys (1971)
19. Van Morrison - Moondance (1970)
20. Peter Gabriel - Biko (1980)
21. Rainbow - Stargazer (1976)
22. The Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter (1969, awesome song)
23. AC/DC - Ride On (1976)
24. Frank Zappa - Joe's Garage (1979)
25. The Tragically Hip - Blow At High Dow (1989)

Might edit with time but it's a good start.

That was hard but fun to do

Edit

Honorable mentions that I completely forgot about and can't leave off

Neil Young - Old Man (1971 Live At Massey Hall most of the album should be considered here)
Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms (1985)
Cat Stevens - Father and Son (1970 if you're male you got to know why, Album as a whole should be considered)
Jeff Healy Band - His superb and definitive take of Harrison's masterpiece While my Guitar Gently Weeps (1990)
Santana - Samba Pa Ti (Abraxas being a great album as a whole 1970)

Pat...you're a better man than I. I've been thinking about this and it's really, really tough. But I have to show I'm up to the task, so I will post a list within the next few days.

BTW.....excellent list!
