Top 5...

Post by nuclearfamily »

So the other day I was watching the movie High Fidelity again. I love all of his top five lists... I think you know where this is going. :p
I'll start with one from the movie:

Top five side one, track one:
1. Television - See No Evil
2. Buddy Holly - I'm Gonna Love You too
3. Wire - Practice Makes Perfect
4. Suicide - Ghost Rider
5. Joni Mitchell - All I Want

Now one of my own (probably a little too similar but whatever)
Top five album closers:
1. Sonic Youth - Trilogy
2. Tom Waits - I Can't Wait To Get Off Work
3. My Bloody Valentine - Soon
4. The Doors - The End
5. Nick Drake - From Morning
Clockwork Towns: Like grandma's homemade chicken soup, lovingly made with just a hint of sulphuric acid.

Great movie! Good idea..

Top five favourite opening songs on albums.. These are not all necessarily my favourite songs, bands or albums (though some of them are), I just think they're really great songs to open albums with; Making statements about the tone and pace of the album.

1. Bon Iver (Bon Iver) - "Perth" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bo6lKQYVUBU
2. The Beatles (Please Please Me) - "I Saw Her Standing There" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsgWfAilIEM
3. The Smashing Pumpkins (Mellon Collie) - "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" - Yeah thanks EMI.
4. The Flaming Lips (Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots) - "Fight Test" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcFKlEfu_eU
5. The Cure (Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me) - "The Kiss" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzlR8PT9S-A
Good deals with: PumpkinPieces, maz91379, allicio, nelsinian, tomlane95, casperh7, insubordination, bronzetalon
