I have exhausted my MP3 collection and haven't seen anything new that really gets me interested. What is your top 5 songs of all time? The ones that always gets your attention and makes you want to party. With the diverse membership we have, I'm sure that there will be some interesting posts.

Well the songs that get me in a drinking mood are by a guy named Doug Moreland: 10 Beers from now, The Beer Song, The Chitty song, The Butt song, Bar in the Car. Those are some of my favs. Also make me want to drink.

Not necessarily looking at drinking songs, but party songs that make you want to throw down and forget the real world. Ya'll know what I mean.

Ah tough but doable.......
Jon Spencer Blues Explosion (with R.L. Burnside) "Lapdance"
The Bouncing Souls "Hopeless Romanic"
Social Distortion "Ghost town Blues"
Jimi Hendrix (off cd Jimi Hendrix:Blues) "Catfish Blues"
(would like to add this is my favorite Jimi cd ever)
Ac/Dc "If you want blood (you got it)
Hope this helps out BA...All these songs get my blood pumping.I could list more if you like this

Couple songs that just make me loose all my inhibitions and get freaky on the dance floor, accompanied with explanations.

Sir Mix A Lot, I like Big Butts. Ok, this one is a classic, Anybody with a sense of humor and a light skin-tone cant resist shakin his/her respective booty when this little diddy hits. Even White Boys Got To Shout!

Vanilla Ice, Ice Ice Babby. 6th grade, I learned every word to this song because it was the cool thing to do, it has stayed with me to this day and even when i hear it now, i can recite every word and that makes me smile, because I can't tell you anything about the macro-sconomic game theory course i took 3 years ago and I got an A in it, but i know "Alright stop, colaborate and listen, ice is back with a brand new edition, something, grabs ahold of me tightly........" etc etc ad nauseum.

Louis Armstrong, What a wonderful World. This is my wife's and my song. awwwe.

Tony Bennett, Steppin out (With my baby). This is my jam when im about to hit the town with Mrs. BzA. Gets me ready to cut a rug and down some drinks!

Journey, Faithfully Oh wow, if you don't like Journey, then you are from the wrong decade. "They say that the road aint no place to start a family, right down the line its been you and me..." classic. Big Ups to Journey!

Journey, Wheel in the sky" To a lesser degree, this song gets my mojo going just because durring the courus you get to do the Arsenio Hall fist pump to the words "Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin..." and any time you can do the Arsenio Hall fist pump along with 10,000 other white people, that is a great thing!

To call these my "Top blah blah" songs would be an injustice, I am leaving out classics like "Tiny Dancer" by elton John, and the popular classic, Funky Cold Medina by Tone Loc!

But you get the point, Eclecticness is my strong-suit.

Nice start Flounder, feel free to list as many as you like.

Interesting selection BZA, you cross many genre's with your musical taste.

Anything by Medeski, Martin, and Wood. Especially stuff like "Groove a little" and "Afrique"

I can't do just five, so here's a short few.

Metallica - Of wolf and man
Metallica - ....ffs, how about their albums... first 4 (Kill em all, Ride the Lightning, Master of puppets, And justice for All)
The Offspring - Smash, Self-Esteem, Gotta get away
Lynard Skynard - Freebird
Hoobastank - Remember me
Daft Punk - Harder, better, faster, stronger
Red hot chili peppers - Under the bridge

and for party-ish music: Chemical Brothers - Loops of Fury

Good songs are like Lays chips, you can't have just one (or five in this case)

I just have to say that I was laffin so hard at BZA's post that my girlfriend kept lookin @ me while watchin TV wonderin WTF i was laffin by myself.

Thought of a few more:

Hagfish-Stamp
Asylum Street Spankers-Beer(might be a beer drinking song to some but this just pumps me and my buddies up as we're going to party it up)
Puddle of Mud - She Hates Me
Otis Redding - Mustang Sally
Sublime - Santaria
Sublime - Carress Me Down
Roger Miller-King of the Road
Almost any Incubus song
Fountains of Wayne - Radiation Vibe & Sink To The Bottom
The Ramones - I Wanna Be Sedated
Merle Haggard - Dukes of Hazard Theme Song
Nada Surf - Popular
Montel Jordan - This Is How We Do It
Texas Tornados - Hey Baby Que Paso & Una Mas Cerveza
Toadies- I Come From The Water, So Help Me Jesus(not what you think),
The Reverend Horton Heat-Loco Gringos Liek to Party, Galaxy 500, Suicide Doors, Big Red Rocket of Love, Liquor in the Front, Jimbo Song,

Well I guess thats about it. Just a few more than 5 but I couldnt help it. lol.

Damn a couple there f'ing rock. I love Mustang Sally, but sounds better with the Commitments. Otis is king with Dock of the Bay. King of the Road was one of the first songs I learned on guitar. Who is Vanilla Ice?

Now chill, NoSlak, everyone has their own musical preference. The fact that BZA's 2 posts made me shoot beer out my nose is no reason to make fun of his music.
