“Boulevard of Broken Dreams” - Greenday

I'm an old broken down stiff (late 50s) who still uses a MP3. ? Some of my top songs to get this old metal head moving are as follows:

Metallica - Cyanide.

Metallica - Seek & Destroy.

Metallica - Enter Sandman (I know...redundant - but still a butt-kicker).

Megadeth - Sympathy of Destruction.

Slayer - Seasons of the Abyss.

Living Colour - Cult of Personality.

I'll also throw in some U2 & Linkin Park stuff as a change a pace to slow things up a bit.

All appropriate for playing in the car (and loud) ?

Head On (Jesus and Mary Chain Cover) - Pixies (Live)

Blues from A Gun (live) - Jesus and Mary Chain

Psychotic Reaction (Count Five Cover - Live) - The Cramps

Sorry Somehow - Husker Du

Eight Miles HIgh (Byrds Cover) - Husker Du

Search and Destroy (Live) - Iggy Pop & Whitey Kirst

Cold Metal (Live) - Iggy Pop & Whitey Kirst

Intro Sweet Jane (Live) - Lou Reed, Steve Hunter, & Dick Wagner

Rock N Roll (Live) - Lou Reed, Steve Hunter, & Dick Wagner

Fell on Black Days (Live) - Soundgarden

Burden in My Hand - Soundgarden

Loose (Iggy Pop cover) - Raw Power KEXP

Just Because - Jane's Addiction

Been Caught Stealin' (Live)- Jane's Addiction

Sound just as good in the car, though i don't generally listen to them there.

Listen to "Rocket Queen" by Guns&Roses. the 3 and a half minute mark until the end is pure greatness.

Opposite for me on Sweet Jane. The intro drags on forever, but Sweet Jane, with Steve Hunter on guitar, is awesome. So much better than the studio version.

Dont use to listen to music while running but love to listen in the car while drive to a race or just ride in my car.

This year favourite but also an all time favourite with others hundreds of songs from pre war country blues to sixties garage

rock

1) The Weight - The Band (version from before the flood album 1973 first version the one with cut intro Levon Helm and the guys are in top shape singing verses by Levon are hair raisin .)

2) The Night they drove old dixie down - The Band ( last waltz version 1976) You just cant have better than this !!!! Check it out the video footage.

3) Dont 't do it- The Band studio version- terrific song from great musicians and Levon singing and drums just amazing!!

4) Wheels on fire- The Band from 1973 Before the Flood album Rick Danko on vocals with great chorus by Levon and maybe Richard Manuel

5) Rag Mama Rag- The Band from 1973 Before the Flood album That piano is superb and another fantastic vocals by Levon Helm

6) Mistery Train- The Band with Paul Butterfield from Last Waltz 1976 One of the greatest Rock Blues moment ever captured live on a stage. Harmonica legend Paul Butterfield singing togheter with Levon. Amazing performance . Check it out

the video footage.

7) Blind Willie Mc Tell - The Band . Bob Dylan cover version , Amazing , Rick Danko and Levon Helm sing verses one by one

I ve listen to Dylan original maybe 10 or 20 times , I ve listen to The Band versions hundreds of times ... This says it all

8) Up on Cripple Creek- The Band

9) The Band- Ophelia Last Waltz 1976 version

10) Willie and the Hand Jive - Levon Helm and the Band amazing cover of Johnny Otis 1958 number. Check it out the video footage

11) Willie and the Hand Jive - Johnny Otis 1958. You cannot be wrong with a Diddley beat.

12) Back to Memphis - Levon Helm

and for a more relaxing mood maybe comin back from a race I would add

13) Loser- Grateful Dead

14) So Many Roads- Grateful Dead

But there is still another song with a voice of a true Goddess , the amazing beautiful , lovely, sexy Lisa Fisher. I love you Lisa

She sings Gimme Shelter with the Stones. Her voice is too powerful for human beings to not be shakin all over your body listen to her when she sings her verse.

Oh, man! How i thrive on those two trading off licks in the intro. It just doesn't get much better.

Fact is, out of that show and the ensuing "Rock and Roll" Live album, there's about 4 gems i keep on heavy rotation on my playlist, and they are (besides the two already listed), "Satellite of Love" and "Vicious." Glad that someone else appreciates some great lead guitar.

Crocodile Rock

Audioslave / Shape of Things to Come

What is the difference between a rock song and a "rock" song?

Anything that involves electric guitar

I'm a big fan of sum 41, offspring, powerman 5000, etc. before a run to get the blood flowin'

You guys have listed some great vintage music but there is no music listed form 2008 onward

Get current everyone.
