MR

I've been thinking about this for awhile so here are my questions:

What are your 3-5 favorite songs from the 70s and why?; the 80s? the 90s? current?

Out of these, what are your 5 favorite songs of all and why?

I'm curious what you all think... Try to keep the number of favorites low if you can...

cool idea. i have to think about this, but i'm wiped out after finishing the first week of school. i'll come back tomorrow with my answers.

i'm back to answer!! lol, only several days later

70s-
1. feeling that way/anytime- loved it the first time i heard it and never stopped
2. patiently
3. something to hide
4. just the same way- love gregg and steve duets
5. sweet and simple- amazing voice

80s-
1. precious time
2. where were you
3. stay awhile
4. send her my love
5. i'll be alright without you

90s-
1. easy to fall- love the guitar intro
2. when i think of you- the sentiment, i don't know how to say it... very dear to me.
3. when you love a woman
4. still she cries

2000-
1. higher place
2. livin' to do

most of my favorites are when rolie was in the band. i limited myself to 5, but could have gone over.

I love Infinity, too; I don't know about Captured--do you love the studio version of Just The Same Way as much? I would say I would like to know why you love the Captured version so much and why you picked those 3 off of Infinity vs the others...

(I wonder what a pie chart or graph would look like with the data from this thread )

I just love the feel of the live version, Rolie's vocals, etc...I love the studio version, but for me this is my fav.


I love Infinity because it still has some Prog moments like the first 3 before Perry....I think it's a great transition from pre-Perry.

I'll take Patiently over Faithfully and Open Arms 8 days a week.

I can pop this cd in and just let it play.

I find myself listening to Captured a lot in the summer.

So underrated... I love the acapella breakdown seguing into Neal's soloing + Perry's ad-libbing.
