Top 3 songs on a CD of your choice

[-N-]

The topic mesmerizes me because one day, I was thinking about my favorite songs on an album, and it was ridiculously easy to pick a top three from one album, but much harder to pick a top three from another album.

I'll start off with two.

Third Eye Blind - Third Eye Blind (the easy one)
1. How's It Gonna Be
2. Motorcycle Drive-By
3. Jumper

Radiohead - The Bends (the hard one)
1. Fake Plastic Trees
2. The Bends
3. My Iron Lung

So pick a CD or two, and pick your top 3 from it. Potentially argue with another over choices.

[Cloud_99]

ok here we go:

HIM - And Love Said No:
1. Buried Alive by love
2. Right Here in my Arms
3. Pretending

Tenacious D - Tenacious D:
1. Tribute
2. Wonder Boy
3. Double Team

There you go. Anyone wanna argue with that... No. Good.

Likkin Park:

2. Night Flight
3. White Bird

Katie Melua: Call Off The Search

[q="FOA"] I'M GONNA STEAL ----------'S, so we can argue later on.

Third Eye Blind-Third Eye Blind
1)The Background
2)Semi-Charmed Life (so sue me )
3)London

Radiohead-The Bends
1)Street Spirit (Fade out)
2)My Iron Lung
3)Black Star[/q]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO *is kicked by Ragnarok [Caps flood]*

Umm, I don't like London as much as the others, I'm pretty sure of that. Semi Charmed Life is a pretty solid song, for me it's #4. Actually, The Background or God of Wine might be #4 too... I agree with the Background being awesome, but all the three songs I listed have some special connection for me - they're all songs I've designated with certain friends to sing at the top of our lungs whenever we hear it.

Radiohead time. Black Star would definitely be #4, so I have no problem with that at 3. Street Spirit though... ehh... a lot of people like it but me, it seems. It's a good song, but it doesn't fit with the rest of the album. *replaces with Fake Plastic Trees, which is just a badass song* My Iron Lung at #2? No problem - I put The Bends at #2 just because it was the first song from The Bends I heard, and it works great as a pump-up song or as a chill-out song.

[q=Divinity] Evanescence:
- Tourniquet
- Imaginary
- My Last Breath[/q]
[q=Rye]Evanescence (Fallen) <--- This is a toughie
-Hello
-Everybody's Fool
-Taking Over Me[/q]
[q=Breine]Evanescence - Fallen
1: Going Under.
2: Hello.
3: Bring Me To Life[/q]

Looks like Evanescence was a popular choice...
1. Taking Over Me - The piano does it for me in the beginning. And the lyrics too.
2. Bring Me to Life - Oh look, another catchy piano thing. It's the first song I heard by them, and got me hooked.
3. My Immortal - I'm a sucker for piano songs with great vocals. I wish I could squeeze Hello on here.

The others:
Tourniquet - I don't like the modded voice (reminds me of Cher) even though it's only for a bit, and the chorus gets old for me after a while.
Imaginary - The violin introduction is kinda scratchy and annoying, but the piano is really good.
Hello - I like it. It's like My Immortal, but it seems less emotional, so it's not on the top 3.
Everybody's Fool - It's a good song, but just not good enough to put on a top 3, I guess.
Going Under - Same as Everybody's Fool. I like them both.
My Last Breath - Great song to get hooked on, it was probably #4. I think the only thing was the odd intro.

[q="White Raven"](PS: Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall, Abbey Road and S.P.L.H.C.B. should all really be heard in full to fully be appreciated)[/q]
Totally true - I agree. That makes it harder to pick out songs, though, for Pink Floyd especially - it doesn't make their songs stick out in my head much, and I can't listen to them with Shuffle on. I liked the title track on SPLHCB, though.

[q="White Raven"]9. Led Zeppelin ~ Led Zeppelin II
- Heartbreaker
- Livining Loving Maid (She's Just a Woman)
- Thank You

7. AC/DC ~ Back in Black
- Back in Black
- Hells Bells
- You Shook me All Night Long

5. Led Zeppelin ~ IV
- Misty Mountain Hop
- Stairway to Heaven
- Going to California

3. Led Zeppelin ~ Houses of the Holy
- The Rain Song
- No Quarter
- Over the Hills and Far Away[/q]

3. I'd definitely put The Song Remains the Same on there somewhere. I can't decide what I'd kick off, though...

5. No Black Dog? When the Levee Breaks? I know Black Dog would be on my top 3 for sure. I like Misty Mountain Hop and Going to California, but I like When the Levee Breaks more than either of those. And Stairway to Heaven would be #1 for me (Black Dog #2, Levee #3).

7. I agree with the top three for AC/DC... I even agree on the order, in fact. Back in Black is just badass. I like to sing You Shook Me All Night Long when I'm ridiculously drunk. Don't know if that's good or not.

9. Whole Lotta Love, Ramble On, Heartbreaker. As you can see, we're almost completely in disagreement. But seriously, Whole Lotta Love is too awesome to leave off your list. I can understand maybe leaving off Ramble On, but Whole Lotta Love? *cries, or angries, or something*

[Shoeberto]

Radiohead - OK Computer
1. No Suprises
2. Let Down

If I would've put a lot of thought into that, it'd have been harder. But I'm just thinking of them off the top of my head.

Radiohead - The Bends
1. Street Spirit
2. Fake Plastic Trees
3. The Bends

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here (this is an easy one)
1. Wish You Were Here
2. Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts 6-9)
3. Have A Cigar

Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon
1. Time
2. Speak To Me/Breathe
3. Brain Damage

Modest Mouse - The Moon and Antartica
1. The Stars Are Projectors
2. Life Like Weeds
3. 3rd Planet

Radiohead - OK Computer
1. No Suprises
2. Let Down
3. Karma Police

If I would've put a lot of thought into that, it'd have been harder. But I'm just thinking of them off the top of my head.

Blah!
1. Exit Music
2. The Tourist
3. Airbag

Complete disagreement. Airbag's been awesome ever since I saw them play it on their second encore at Hollywood, and a good fast paced song. Exit Music and The Tourist are great powerful and emotional songs too. Karma Police is good, so I kinda agree with that. Not as good as the three I picked, in my opinion.
