...a little bit rock 'n' roll...



My top three favorite songs of all time:

#1. Nirvana - "Heart-Shaped Box"

Everything I like about Nirvana, rolled into one song...Beatiful melodies, loud guitars, and the now famous 'soft-verse/loud chorus' dynamic. Add a simple-but-effective guitar solo, and a classic feedback ending, and you have the makings of my favorite song.

#2. Foo Fighters - "Everlong"

Just simply one of the greatest songs ever...This song isn't so much "written" as it is "composed", every aspect of this song is just crafted to perfection. Dave Grohl will never again write a song as good as this, and neither will anybody else...

#3. Weezer - "Say It Ain't So"

This song used to give me chills during the "...Dear Daddy, I write you, in spite of years of silence..." verse, when the music changes...



And, in no particular order, a sampling of my other current favorites:

AC/DC - "Back in Black"
Queens Of The Stone Age - "No One Knows"
Moby - "Porcelain"
Beatles - "A Day in the Life"
Beatles - "I Am the Walrus"
Coldplay - "Trouble"
Tom Petty - "Mary Jane's Last Dance"
Journey - "Any Way You Want It"
Kansas - "Carry On My Wayward Son"
Foo Fighters - "Exausted"
Outkast - "Hey Ya"
Stone Temple Pilots - "Creep"
Far - "Mother Mary"
The Pillows - "Carnival"
Beck - "Little One"
Nirvana - "Aneurysm"
Pearl Jam - "Immortality"
Tool - "Forty Six And 2"
A Perfect Circle - "Orestes"


So, call up your favorite file-sharing software, or dust off those old "CD's" that people used to listen to, and give these songs a spin...

(MP3's of these songs are available upon request)
