Sat today playing a $5 MTT on PS and decided to have Youtube running in the background playing some of my favourite tunes.
So being the nice man that I am I decided to let you all see my all time top 10 tracks.
In reverse order
10) What gambler wouldn't love listening to Kenny Rogers - The gambler.. You gotta know when to holdem, know when to folderm... a timeless classic
9) A trip back to the 1980s and the Boss. Born in the USA by Bruce Springsteen.. Rockin at its finest
8) The greatest intro to a song ever. Axel Rose cannot sing and he looks awful, but he can knock up a good tune.. Paradise City by GNR
7) Anyone who's seen the movie Treasure Planet will know this song. Absolutely brilliant song sung by one of the greatest singer songwriters around. I'm Still Here by JOHNNY RZEZNIK.
6) OK, don't laugh.. The weirdest singer on the planet, and definitely not altogether with it, but god this girl can sing.. Lady GaGa Edge of Glory
5) Another female artist, but this song is simply superb. Chirstina Perri Jar of Hearts
4) The biggest female artist ever, and a song that I defy anyone not to love. Madonna Like a Prayer.
3) Back in the 1980s this song had much of the UK rocking away to its catchy tune and inspirational backing. One of the catchiest tunes of all time. Talking Heads - Road to nowhere.
2) JOHNNY RZEZNIK of the GooGoo dolls has the pleasure of being the only artist to appear twice in my top ten with this absolute belter of a tune. Emotional, passionate and moving.. The GooGoo Doll - IRIS
1) The all time tune that nothing could ever surpass for me. I first saw this song performed live at Wembley at the Live Aid concert and since that day I've loved it. It is without doubt the best song ever written. U2 - BAD
Feel free to look them up and have a listen, and maybe give your own lists...

Top ten tracks rather than poker related playlist.
In no particular order:
1 Assault and Battery/Golden Void - Hawkwind 2 Zero the Hero and the Witches Spell - Gong 3 Down By The River - Neil Young 4 Make Me Smile - Steve Harley 5 Nine Feet Underground - Caravan 6 Thick As A Brick - Jethro Tull 7 Break and Entry - Prodigy 8 Lucifer Sam - Pink Floyd 9 Little Lighthouse - The Dukes Of Stratosphear 10 Dear God - XTC
Thing is though, with these kind of lists, I could quite easily change my mind within the hour and come up with ten completely different tracks. Well, apart from Zero the Hero and the Witches spell, that one would always make the list.

Leonard Cohen is definitely in my top 3 artists.. absolutely love all his stuff.. And I'd rate him no#1 in terms of lyrics / song writing.
shame on me that i havent checked him out yet, but this Hallelujah song is one awesome piece. and i Love the cover of it, i guess i should check the original immediately

Jeff Buckley was truly a great artist. his voice was amazing! definitely went too soon. everyone should check out his album 'grace' brilliant

Ive read some of the songs here. I can say at some point i have heard many of them, and of course there are others that i might have heard of but dont know the title-(singer,group). But fcumred, Lady Gaga? Really And by the way, you are a bit confused there. She is not weird, she is just plain stupid. I could say she is one of the definitions the word has.

Wow fcumred, I definetely agree with the No. 1 in your list. Absolute great song, love U2 since the mid 80s. Although for me "One" and "Sunday bloody Sunday" are close to it. Nevertheless, great choice

I will try to promote SLOVAK music.. I will probably forget something cause I didnt take a time for it But you should definitively listen to it, you will explore music, which you surely dont know, but I am sure you will like it even if you will dont understand lyrics I will appreciate if you will promote your songs popular in your country, I want to explore something new too
Sorry for lower quality in some songs, some of them are older
MUSIC .
