Lightning Crashes - Live ABSOLUTELY. Still don't know what that doctor was trying to hide by closing the door, though ... I have a live version that will slay you, Dom. I'll e-mail it
Father and Son - Cat Stevens Poignant and moving no doubt- better than 'Cats in the Cradle'
With Arms Wide Open - Creed (Go ahead - mock me!) Nahhh ... but I will mock you for Dan Fogelberg though.... :
Leader of the Band - Dan Fogelberg 
The Rain Song - Led Zeppelin
Black - Pearl Jam "The Rain Song" and "Black" are both incomparable. Both in my Top 5.
Another Brick in the Wall - Pink Floyd (Actually, that's not a great choice. There is a lot of Pink Floyd that could be on the list.)
Synchronicity II - The Police - "Invisible Sun" works for me
Nghtswimming - REM Right on  I'll add "Strange Currencies" and "Tongue"
Sympathy for the Devil - Rolling Stones Not a "favorite" per se - but a MEGA-Classic
Building a Mystery - Sarah McLachlan
Sweet Surrender - Sarah McLachlan voice of an angel
Mad World - Tears for Fears OK, but how about "Woman in Chains"?
One - U2 DEFINITELY! Add Metallica's "One," and I have two Ones on my list
With or Without You - U2 Too many U2 songs to list for me. Like Zeppelin and the Beatles
In My Room - Yaz You mean "Beach Boys", right? 
Midnight - Yaz If you get a chance, e-mail me these Yaz tunes - I don't even know who they are. |
BroncoBuff List:
Whiter Shade of Pale - Procol Harem
Tongue - REM
Neon Moon - Brooks & Dunn
Fell On Black Days - Soundgarden
People Get Ready - Rod Stewart & Jeff Beck
Tammy's in Love - Debbie Reynolds. No, I am not joking
One - Metallica
God Only Knows - Beach Boys (at least until HBO's "Big Love" started using it)
The Warmth of the Sun - Beach Boys
Don't Worry Baby - Beach Boys
Harbor Lights - Boz Scaggs
Theme from "Valley of the Dolls" - Dionne Warwick
You're Still the One - Shania Twain
Sunrise, Sunset - Soundtrack to 'Fiddler on the Roof' (for Old Dude
)
Black - Pearl Jam
Lightning Crashes - Live
Invisible Sun - The Police
The Ecology - Marvin Gaye
Miami My Amy - The late (and very great) Keith Whitley
Secret Love - Doris Day No, I am NOT joking. And stop asking me that.
Fly to the Angels - Slaughter
Woman in Chains - Tears for Fears
Dreams (I'll Never See) - ORIGINAL by Allman Brothers. Molly Hatchet's cover is awesome, too
Hunger Strike - Temple of the Dog
* The Rain Song - Led Zeppelin
* One - U2
* Like Woody Allen and David Mamet movies, U2 and Led Zeppelin are excluded from my rankings. There are too many great ones to compare them - and they would exclude others that belong there. So just ONE EACH from Zeppelin and U2.
