Dare i ask, what's your list? All Pet Shop Boys and Bronski Beat? Okay, that was low, but Frankine Goes To Hollyowood was pretty cool for it's time

Hey lung - whoever wrote that list was a total TOOL.

Sorry, I was under the impression we could go back only ~25 years so I tried to keep within the poll's boundaries even though a couple may be a bit older.

Btw, nothing by Blind Faith or Airplane would make my list.

The Moody Blues are within 25 years??? Just because they refuse to leave Vegas doesn't mean their material is fresh...

Are you insane??? Blind Faith is so incredible! And Airplane!!! Embryonic journey! Oh, and the only good stuff Kansas EVER did was on their first album...

I guess we'll have to chalk this up as a clash of different tastes...

(Bohemian Rhapsody = OVERPLAYED)

As I said, a couple of my picks might be a bit beyond 25 years. And by definition, anything 25 years old isn't "fresh". I notice you didn't actually cite anything by Blind Faith.

Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

When you know as many good songs as I do, some sacrifices must be made...

If I were to choose a blind faith, "sea of joy" would be it.
For Kansas, my choice would be "Journey from Mariabronn"
From the Moody Blues - "Gemini Dream"
Springsteen - "The E Street Shuffle"
Pink Floyd - "The Great Gig In the Sky"

I increasingly find Queen, Rush and Lynyrd Skynyrd to be increasingly tedious and tiresome as I have aged.

After making my votes, I noticed Jaguars restrictions. feel free to ignore my votes, but then in total please.
It´s ok when you say Rock only, but then I don´t see why the last 25 years only and leaving out the masterpieces that way. it doesn´t make much sense to me.

I sticked to Rock only, because it was requested so by JW in the title post.

However, my current MP3 collection consists for 60% of House and Jazz.

3. Zdob & Zdub - "Vai s-amar de capul meu" (romanian)
4. Billy Idol - "Rebel Yell"
5. Offspring - "Change The World"
6. Nazareth - "Love Hurts"
7. Judas Priest - "The Rage"
8. Ac/Dc - "That's The Way I Wanna Rock'n'Roll"
9. Therion - "Opus Eclipse"
10. Judas Priest - "In Between"
11. Judas Priest - "Burn In Hell"
12. Alice Cooper & Berry Wright - "No Tricks"
13. The Animals - "Talkin' About You"

There you go. I would have put the entire playlist, but it has 900 titles.

Oh, during this search, winamp also chose the entry at number 666, where I keep a recording of our former dictator Ceausescu saying "Happy New Year".

I have a CD of a local jazz band, if that counts. But only because I know the singer. And she's cute, too.
