Top Ten Songs


JamesEagle

Recommended Posts

I've done a few searches for a 'top ten songs' thread, but can't find one anywhere. If there is one, please could someone point me in the right direction and the mods delete this one?

 

Anyway, if not.....

With so many people on here having huge music collections, I would be very interested to hear what others' all time top ten AOR and Hard Rock songs are. Maybe not an easy task for some, and obviously the list changes from time to time, but it would be good to share lists nonetheless.

 

Any takers?

4. Armored Saint-Reign of Fire

5. Guns N Roses-It's So Easy

6. Skid Row-Monkey Business

9. Def Leppard-Comin' Under Fire

10. Dio-Don't Talk to Strangers

11. AC/DC-Flick of the Switch

12. Y&T-Winds of Change

13. Black N Blue-Heat it Up, Burn it Out

14. Cold Sweat-Four on the Floor

15. Bangloir Choir-Angel in Black

The title said top 10 so not sure why people are writing 20-25 songs??

 

a possible top 10 for mel HR/AOR only..........(metal/modern etc would be another story of course)

 

In no order -

 

Crown of Thorns - Dyin For Love

JSS - Eyes Of Love

Allen/Lande - My Own Way

Survivor - I See You In Everyone

Journey - Stone In Love

Danger Danger - Under The Gun

Bon Jovi - Come Back

Heaven Edge - Come Play The Game

Millenium - Chasing Time

Roxus - Midnight Love

 

 

 

Yeah, those 10 are all awesome, but seriously there are 100 other songs within a single % point of those. So its nearly impossible to do......I mean there's nothing in the list from

 

Harem Scarem

Pretty Maids

Treat

Brother Firetribe

 

etc etc....who all have many many awesome songs

 

+ about another 15 Journey songs at least, are completely excellent and within a whisker of Stone In Love

Agree that this is really tough, I got it down to an elite 25, but have attempted a current top 10 off the top of my head. I've kept it to hard rock, as if I included metal it really would be impossible and end up being a top 100.

7. Whitesnake - Crying In The Rain (1987)

8. Lion - Forgotten Sons

9. House of Lords - Edge of Your Life

10. Pretty Maids - Future World

 

and just underneath:

 

11. Cinderella - Don't Know What You Got

12. Faster Pussycat - Don't Change That Song

13. Ratt - You're In Love

14. Yngwie Malmsteen - Making Love

15. McAuley Schenker Group - Follow The Night

16. Harlan Cage - A Little Rain

17. Winger - Hungry

18. Danger Danger - Under The Gun

Pretty much answered your own question. ;) Impossible to pick only 10.

 

And how the hell did I forget Harem Scarem? No list is complete without:

 

Harem Scarem - 'Stranger than love' + 'Staying away'

 

Agree with some others such as:

 

Roxus - 'Midnight love'

Giant - 'Stay'

Victory - 'Don't tell no lies'

18 Visions - 'Broken Hearted'

 

And how could I forget:

 

Stun Leer - 'If you want love'

Poison - 'Only time will tell' + 'No more lookin' back'

Warrant - 'Quicksand'

Bonfire - 'Say goodbye'

I quote "Top Ten Songs, Hard Rock & AOR faves".

 

If I were including modern acts, I would select every single song from Cauterize's 2 and 1/2 CDs, as well as a huge bunch of SR-71 songs... for starters. Not to mention Faber Drive. But this isn't the thread for it.

It doesnt mater mate, the way I see it is this, Stereoside, and Cauterize entire influence is our music, they just try to integrate it into there own style, but they are every bit as hard rock as your going to get, so yes, ,list all the songs by Cauterize! not Sr-69 or whoever you are talking about, Cauterize are not even in those bands league, so dont insult Cauterize like that!

I like Cauterize, but not one of their songs would make my top 20 modern songs let alone MHR......i also have a feeling (without thinking too hard about it) that my top 50 songs of all time would not include one modern song.

 

Modern rock is good....but not that good ;-))

Don't like the 'modern' stuff at all personally, but I do love the track, 'Hey Joe' by Stereoside. Fantastic.

 

choooooon!!!

Lots of stuff I don't know in these lists. Although our tastes differ a lot, if songs have made into people's top 10-30 of all time, they must be worth checking out. Unless someone has a Steelhouse Lane fixation, of course... ;)

Never heard of this fella before, so I just checked out a few samples. Not my usual taste, very soft, but I'm loving 'It's Only Love' and 'Footprints In The Rain', great songs. 'Jenny's Still In Love' isn't bad either. Another one for the list...
