lots of grateful dead songs
Ballad of the Runaway Horse by Leonard Cohen
Gallo del Cielo by Tom Russell
The Road Goes on Forever by Robert Earl Keen
Jackson Brown..................These Days
Townes VanZant...............Dead Flowers
Richard Buckner................Blue and Wonder
yeah, top ten or twenty would have been easier but these are the three that came to mind first, surprisingly.
Lynn
Doctor My Eye's------J Browne
Willin---------------Little Feat
Papa was a rollin stone---The D Linley version,I love the original also
LOTS MORE STUFF NOT LISTED :guitar
Hey Uncle Rob, I decided on the way in to work this morning with Waiting For Columbus on the stereo, that Spanish Moon may be the best rock'n'roll song ever.
Here's mine (but you can only hold me to them for a day).
Spanish Moon - Little Feat
I Feel Fine - Beatles
It Makes No Difference - The Band
I'm with Unclrob on Doctor My Eyes
Also: Deacon Blues Steely Dan
I Left My Heart In San Francisco Tony Bennett
I won't mention any of Lawrence Welk's polka classics!
Rocky Mountain High - John Denver
Country Roads - John Denver
Dust in the Wind - Kansas
not sure if these are my absolute tops but they remind me of favorite places where i'd like to live and sort of once did long ago.
I was just playing Rocky Mountain High just this evening, and I second poki's selections, along with Dr My Eyes from unclrob. I would have to add Reeling in the Years by Steely Dan to my list (and of course, Ricky Don't Lose That Number :bgrin:).

I want to add
Going up the Country -canned heat
I could pick a different three every day for ... ever prolly. Today esses.
Stuck in The Middle - Stealer's Wheel
Smoke of a Distand Fire - Sandford/Townsend Band
Satisfaction - Stones
How's this for varied;
Conversation 1 & 2, Chicago,
Are You Going With Me, Pat Metheny,
Turning, Turning Back, Alex DeGrassi...
come to ponder, these could be my desert island picks, but I can carry much more nowadays on the ol' mp3 player!
My ipod says:
1. Let It Be - Beatles
2. Acadian Driftwood - Band
3. Willin' - Little Feat
Side note -- 4. is Doctor My Eyes
Kevin
"Satisfaction" The Stones
"City of New Orleans" Arlo Guthrie
"Living in the Past" Jethro Tull
At least for today...
Tom Paxton- Leaving London
John Prine- Souvenirs (OK, all of his other songs, too)
Kinks- A Rock and Roll Fantasy
Today?
Mr. Crabby - Lambchop
What's He Building - Tom Waits
2-4-6-8 Motorway - Tom Robinson Band
Very tough question, probably I could give a different answer every day depending on my mood, but here's a go at it:
1) Candles in the Rain/Lay Down (Candles in the Rain); the first two tracks on the 1970 Melanie album should only count as one song.
2) 49 Bye-Byes by CSN
3) The Weight by The Band
Last to Know, by the delightful Alejandro Escovedo
Chivalry, the perennially contentious Mekons
Beat the Retreat, the redoubtable Richard Thompson
Hear 'em and weep....
I think I would grow tired of any song if I heard it enough
1) Aiofe by Flairck (http://www.flairck.com/) (don't forget to check Erik Visser's guitar collection !)
2) Distant Son by Dougie MacLean (http://www.dougiemaclean.com/) (my favorite musician by far)
3) Meta Sequoia by Harry Sacksioni (http://www.harrysacksioni.nl/) (from the Netherlands)

Why would anyone want to pick 3 songs?
Yeah, i know it should have been at least to ten.
David
Today's three for me would be
Wichita Skyline - Shawn Colvin
Song for Sharon- Joni Mitchell
De pois do amor, O vasio - Wayne Shorter
but I would second Acadian Driftwood, Deacons blues,Willin.
I must find those picks I've never heard and listen, I love new music and hate the radio.
Walkin' By Myself - Paul Butterfield version with Buzzy Feiten on guitar.
Waitin' On You - Dave Mason (Alone Together)
The Well Done Gone Dry - Crusaders (Southern Comfort)

Waitin' On You - Dave Mason (Alone Together)
:+1:
A classic from way back.
I'm gonna go with, not in any particular order:
Red House - Jimi Hendrix
Kind Hearted Woman - Robert Johnson
Little Red Rooster - Lightnin' Hopkins
Texas Flood - SRV
Honky Tonk Woman - The Rolling Stones
Lay Down Sally - Eric Clapton
Chip Away - Aerosmith
And, because I listened to my older brother's records so much when I was a kid, any songs from the 70's by The J. Geils Band. BTW, they originally called themselves The J. Geils Blues Band. :thumb
Gimme Shelter-Stones
La Torre Bermeja-as performed by John Williams ( in 1958 at age 17)
Vaseline Machine Gun- Leo Kottke
You're right...3 is far too few. These are some that still make the hair on my neck stand on end. There are many others.

:donut :donut :donut :coffee
After seeing CSNY in concert and watching the documentary "Heart of Gold", I'm in a Neil Young Phase.
I can give you 3 songs from just 1 album, Harvest: Heart of Gold, Old Man and The Needle and the Damage Done.
OK From a Guitar Shop point of view. Please do not go in and try out a guitar with the following three songs.
1) Stairway to Heaven
2) Black Bird
3) Dust in the Wind

Are you sure that you didn't mean "Freebird"? If I was a git shop owner, I wouldn't want to hear it anymore either!
I could put Freebird on the list. Black Bird Beatles gets a lot of play in the studio!
Jim Holler
+1 on the Freebird. People love to shout that at gigs, too.
Shelter - Ray Lamontagne
Dead Flowers - the Townes Van Zandt version
Change - Blind Melon
these are my streamofconsciousnessthree...
The Moon's a Harsh Mistress: Jimmy Webb
Boy From the Country: Michael Murphey
Sweet Thing: Van Morrison

Why would anyone want to pick 3 songs?
Three is not very many, but I guess that was the challenge. I took three days to come up with just three songs:
- "The Last Night of the World" by Bruce Cockburn
- "Comes A Time" by Neil Young (as performed on his 'Heart of Gold' DVD)
- "Moonshadow" by Cat Stevens
BUT, other honourable mentions are:
- "Ticket To Ride" by the Beatles
- "Samba Pa Ti" by Santana
- "Cats Under The Stars" by Jerry Garcia
- "I Shall Be Released" by The Band (written by Bob Dylan)
- "That Old Cedar Strip Canoe" by James Gordon
- "Brush and Paddle" by Ian Tamblyn
- "Harvest Moon" by Neil Young
- "Heart of Gold" by Neil Young
- "Tears For Heaven" by Eric Clapton
- "Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton
Oh !!! So many songs, and only so much time. :tongue:
Quote- "The Last Night of the World"
care to share?
Cockburn is one of my favorites.
been struggling with "All the Diamonds in the World" for ages.
Hey little fingers,
I love to listen to these songs. I can't play them all.
I'm not that good. I can't even dream of playing 'Samba Pa Ti' like Santana (or even Ottmar Liebert's acoustic version of it).
These are the songs that I don't get tired of listening to (when the 'big guns' are playing them, not me). :cheers

gottcha...i sorta kinda forgot what thread we were in...cuz there was also a what song(s) are you working on now thread.
i went to the Cockburn Project website and found a couple of TAB pages for Last Night of the World. a drop F#, capo on 3 if i remember correctly, otherwise very confusing to me. I don't have an easy time with TABS...but i really dig that drop F# thing. so not a total loss.
Load out/Stay-- Jackson Browne
Hurricane- Bob Dylan
Do-re-me Arlo Guthrie & The Dillards----search YouTube
