Top 10 Great White Songs

[CureTheSane]

Bored sitting on a plane waiting to take off, so I thought I'd make a random post.

This one came to mind thinking about Jack's legacy.

So list in order your top 10 GW songs.

Will be interested to see how many lean to early stuff, later stuff, etc

Huge GW fan so this is hard. Will give it a go tomorrow night

 

[CureTheSane]

Also a massive GW fan.
IMO they have one of the best total catalogs as I tend to really like a lot more songs than usual from any band.
So this was hard.

01 Love Is A Lie
02 Lil' Mama
03 Once Bitten Twice Shy
04 All Right
05 All Over Now
06 Sail Away
07 Afterglow
08 Miles Away
09 Freedom Song
10 Rock Me

Had to include Once Bitten - one of the best ever covers.

Should have made this a top 20 list, would have been a lot easier.

Can't shake it

Desert moon

I always liked Great White but they were never a band I was a mad keen fan of. Hooked is start to finish my favourite album by them, with not a bad song on it. They were always great at cover versions, and while I would have loved to have included the likes of Money (that's what I want) or I don't need no doctor, you cannot avoid including Once bitten as the song is as much theirs as it is Ian Hunters. And Aflterglow, is one of my fave tracks by the band and once again, they made it their own. I have never heard a cover of that song as good as the GR version.

Which one the Angels (Angel City) or Ian Hunter?

My FAVORITE is "Step On You." Such a cool tune! 

[Geoff]

Excellent band, sad to hear about Jack. Much respect for any band that didn't "sell out" during that mid-90's period, and Great White were one of them. 

Pretty tricky, but favourite songs probably looks a bit like this;

1. Bad boys

2. Save your love

3. Lady red light

4. Out of the night

5. Never change heart

6. All over now

7. House of broken love

8. On your knees

9. Silent night

10. Ain't no shame

Side note, saw a YouTube clip about Jack and GW..

Never knew that he shot a maid in the shoulder while robbing drug dealers as a kid and sentenced to 10 years but only served 11 months after being reassessed given his age at the time.

Was working with Kendall at the time.

Goes to show how deep and long his habit was
