OK, here you go. Each member list 15 songs that you think HAVE to be included.

I'll go first:

Freebird
Stairway to Heaven
Yesterday
Smells Like Teen Spirit
Bohemian Rhapsody
Under the Bridge
Comfortably Numb
Interstate Love Song
Livin' on a Prayer
Ants Marching
Round Here
Wonderwall

Edit: changed to "15" instead of 10. 10 is too few.

Laid - James
Suspicious Minds - Elvis P.
I Want You to Want Me - Cheap Trick

I think a bands list would be easier to compile than "greatest songs..." :idea:

I can't think of any songs I personally consider exceptionally great...

Frizzle Fry, My name Is Mud, Harold of the Rocks.....

I can't believe I left My Name is Mud off my shortlist...


PRIMUS has done quite a few all-timers... at least according to their fans. Most ppl hate 'em. :lol:

I must have weird musical taste too then. That's funny - I've always dug "Clumsy" but felt it was going after a younger audience than me. Still liked it though. Wasn't ever a huge STP fan, but Interstate Love Song is just a great song, period. And have been a Ben Folds fan for a long time. Jackson Cannery and Battle of Who Could Care Less are great too.

If I had bumped my list from 10 to 15, would've added Elvis C. (P,L and U) and Pearl Jam (Alive).
