Excellent list with the exception of Tom Sawyer.

Nothing against it other than it’s the song every non-Rush fan thinks of when asked to name a Rush song.

The Trees

There is unrest in the forest
Trouble with the trees
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas...

Hoyt needs some love in for the necks.

Do you really consider yourself a Rush fan? Gee whiz, these are almost all their radio hits. You're probably the same guy who only likes Pearl Jam Ten and not any of their other albums.

Wait. Are you saying that only 9 songs are worthy of the top 10 and the rest shouldn't be considered? Or was this a simple counting error?

[Smackie Chan]

was this a simple counting error?

I was told there would be no math.

[Wolfman]

no love for this ?

#10 is one of those hidden tracks.

[Softball Bat]

#10 is a long distance dedication that has not arrived yet.

You're probably the same guy who only likes Pearl Jam Ten and not any of their other albums.

Boom, Pearl Jam Ten not on Ten:

- Tremor Christ
- Glorified G
- Habit
- Given To Fly
- Nothing As It Seems
- I Am Mine
- I Got Id
- The Fixer
- Unemployable
- Betterman

[Softball Bat]

Jane kicks ass.

A great song to open up a rock album!

San Francisco in da howse.

Home of The City... with the best music ever created by any city ever.

The "controversial" (according to Dick Clark) Jefferson Airplane on American Bandstand 54 years ago.
Starting around 9:45.







Check out the dudes dancing from around 1:25.

That's how I imagine Mikey looking out on the dance floor back in the day. :)

Haha, touche, and good list. Tremor Christ is a killer track and was even better when Ed was in his vocal prime.

[Jay in Phoenix]

Jane kicks ass.

A great song to open up a rock album!

Pops's homage to Jay in Phoenix.

BTW...anything post "Red Octopus" by JS is garbage. Especially "We Built This City", but that song is a close second.

[Mikey]

This is tough. My album would probably be different each week you ask me. This is what I'd use for Volume 1 off the top of my head.
Not much continuity here...but WTF.


Side 1

1. The Beach Boys - Darlin'

Carl Wilson = way underappreciated. This live version is great.




2. Santana - Black Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen

Yeah I know Peter Green wrote it but this is the first version I knew back in HS.




3. Van Morrison - Saint Dominic's Preview




4. Stevie Wonder - As




5. Sly and the Family Stone - Thank You Falllettinme Be Mice Elf Agin
Just about anything from this album would do.




Side 2


1. Grateful Dead - Not Fade Away / Goin' Down the Road Feelin' Bad




2. Allman Brothers - You Don't Love Me

This is probably my most played album of all time.




3. Little Feat - Fat Man in the Bathtub
(an homage to Smackaholic)




4. Billy Cobham - Stratus
Tommy Bolin and Jan Hammer




5. Joni Mitchell - California
Had to put this in somewhere





Sorry, no Rush.

[Wolfman]

Bonus cut ??

Mikey's list reminded me of this:

[Mikey]

I’ve never heard that version before. Damn that guy could play the fiddle.

[Diego in Seattle]

I’ve never heard that version before. Damn that guy could play the fiddle.

So can his daughter, Clara....
