An interesting exercise, and one that's had me racking my brain for much of the day.
Let's say that the apocolypse is upon us...what are the last 10 songs that you would ever want to hear? Here's my list...it's not what you'd call super up-beat, but what the hell, it's the end of the world, right?
10) The Zombies - Hung Up On A Dream: Ten seconds into this song, I knew it was one of my favorites.
9) Simon & Garfunkel - The Only Living Boy in New York: Another song that I knew was a new favorite 10 seconds into it. Just gorgeous....
8) The Stone Roses - Ten Storey Love Song: Sort of an unexpected addition to the list, but apparently I'm in this kind of mood...call it uplifting I guess.
7) Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah: Most over-used word in this thread has to be gorgeous, but how else do you describe this one?
6) Chet Baker - Alone Together: From the best jazz album out there for my money: Chet. The emotion just drips from from it...there has never been a more unique horn player IMHO than Chet Baker
5) The Who - Baba O'Reilly: Talk about your anthem for a generation...
4) Ryan Adams - Come Pick Me Up: This song just does something for me.
3) Genesis - Supper's Ready: From the Seconds Out album...one of my favorites
2) The Beatles - A Day in the Life: What more needs to be said??
1) The Beatles - Hey Jude: It's not a particularly complex tune, but I've always cranked it up any time it's come on. In fact, I'm going to go listen to it now.
