Top 5 songs.

[MB]

If you had to choose the top five songs that gave you the strongest emotion what would they be and what emotion and why?
I'll be the first.

• Mountain Music--Alabama. This song for some reason just makes me happy inside, I do not know why but it might be because I was close to my grandfather and part of my family came from the mountains in Arkansas.
• Ride Wit Me--Nelly. I like this song because of it's easy going, laid back beat. It makes me think of my cousins in Cali and how cool it would be to just chill with them when I'm older.
• Shall We Gather At The River--Willie Nelson. Probably the strongest emotion I have is from this song. This song was played at my grandfathers funeral, whom I was close as hell to. I can't get halfway through this song without crying.
• I swear--All 4 One. I just get all lovey when I hear this song and I want to find the perfect girl and fall in love with her and play this song. This is probably the best love song of our time, my friends.
• Cats In The Cradele--By Harry Chapin This song reminds me of my father, who is completely fucked up with drugs and illegeal activities and such. I never had a father/son relationship I've had to practically raise myself which I think is going well but that song makes me re-think my feelings towards my father, everytime.

Okay, now that you all get the idea, please join in. There where some more songs I wanted to include but I decided not to include them because I did say only five, so. I'm looking forward to reading yours and remember no matter how stupid it may sound to you if It's special to you then I promise I won't laugh at it.

"I don't know why I'm so fuckin' cold, I don't know why it hurts me,
all I wanna do is get with you and make the pain go away!"

1. KoRn - Trash
This song reminds me of a very awkward time in my life, which still hurts me to this day. It has to do with the first girl I ever loved, and how I didn't commit suicide because of her.

2. Tupac - Life Goes On
The girl I mentioned earlier, she told me to listen to this song the day after my grandmother passed away. I have always loved the song since then.

3. Metallica - The Unforgiven
This was one of my favourite songs in school... it reminds me of my first two years in high school when I was bullied badly. You may find it strange that I enjoy songs which seem to bring all bad memories, but this song reminds me too of my fourth and fifth year in school... I grew to 6' in the summer holidays before fourth year (year 11) and put on 2 stone in weight, then got revenge on everyone who had fucked with me. Revenge is one of the sweetest feelings...

4. Diesel Boy - Saving The World
I think this song is by Diesel Boy, it starts "First time I saw you I was driving in my car..."
I first heard this song the night I lost my virginity... ;D

5. Rage Against The Machine - Settle For Nothing
This song has little meaning in my life, but I love how deep Zach de la Rocha gets into the song... you can tell he really gives a shit about what he is singing about.

[RancidPunkMJL]

1. GGF - Rancid This song is so great, I love the concept of how you lose someone and and that they won't be forgotten and I've had similar shit happen in my life, not death but something that had a strong and sad effect on my that I can't change.

2. Changes - Tupac Not one of my favorite songs, but emotional wise, yes. It makes me realize that the more we consider people trying to come together it's not going to matter because everyone in this world is enthrocentric assholes. Peace will never come to us in this world but when I listen to this song I see that someone was actually trying to make a difference, and I had a big effect on a lot of the people. Even though it was a minority of the world, it still made a difference.

3. Face Values - Suicide Machines I just love the truthfulness in the song and how it says that if someone doesn't like you for who you are that they should just fuck themselves...Read the lyrics:
You've got No friends and so you're lonely.
It does not have to be this way
Just be yourself, the one and only
It take some time but that's okay
Alright, no need to fight
'cause everybody's different
and there's nothin you can do about it
and just because i dont look like you
or act like you
It doesn't make me any better or worse
You hate yourself cause you're not like them
well understand that this is wrong
You're better off doing your own thing,
being yourself and
being strong

4. Girl in The Green Jacket - Bigwig I love this song because I am not good with girls because I get embarissed when it comes to talking to them, but when I listen to the song I realize that I do it, and I listened to it just before, and guess what.... it sort of worked

5. I Wanna Riot - Rancid I just got a lot of shit always going on in my life and when I listen to this song it relieves my stress a lot. It gets out a lot of my anger and that is what I love about it.

[Prometheus]

My top 5 would be (in no particular order)

1 Self Esteem by The Offspring- It makes me realise Im not the only person who hass no self esteem.And that makes me feel normal in a way.

2 Born of a Broken Man by RatM- the lyrics have a large part to play in my choosing this but as DD said when i listen to Zach sing this song i can tell he means every word of it.

3 Iris by The GooGoo Dolls- Im listening to it right now and it is by far one of the greatest love songs ever written. I think about my girlfriend when this plays and Im always happy when shes in my mind.

4 Citizen Erased by Muse-absolutely class this is my rage coming out in healthy ways. It has one of the best guitar solos Ive ever heard halfway through it and makes me feel alive instantly.

5 The Man Who Sold The World by Nirvana- this song is awesome but it makes me feel sad because when i hear it it makes me think as if my girl had cheated on me.She hasnt by the way.

[Way2Drunk2Walk]

I don't know if I will ever be able to choose 5 songs. I listen to music almost all the time, I could pick 5 songs for a type of music, but not total.

We're not really comparing the music we're comparing the emotion that the individual song gives you, maybe a memory perhaps?

Great answers so far, by the way.

[D°©tª·D [DD]]

Aren't KMFDM more of an Industrial Techno band than Metal?

I have another song to add;
Limp Bizkit - No Sex
This song get's my bowels moving... I always seem to need a crap half way through the song.

[Prometheus]

Haha I take it you dont like the Bizkit boys then.

[~A*4*J~]

Does anybody else find it really hard to figure out which "5" songs are your favorites?? I mean I could post a few more than that that are my favourite songs??

Maybe, it's just me and my indecisiveness!!

hang on, should I post this or not? Oh hang on, I'm being indecisive agaiN!

[Prometheus]

Hehe time to teach this young Padwan the way of the edit function ;D

[~A*4*J~]

I don't like being called a young padwan!! You're mean!!

Oh, hang on again, maybe it's not nice to post this. Or is it?? Damn indecisiveness

[Prometheus]

EDIT EDIT EDIT!!!

[Stone]

I can't really say just songs for some.

In no particular order:

1) Slipknot - IOWA.
Everytime I listen to this album it brings back some old feelings, from not to long ago actually. I was very depressed and felt suicidal. I didn't show it though, so nobody really knew. This album was nearly the only music I listened too during that time. It made me feel a bit better. I still listen to it, but not as much.

2) Madness - (Anything by this band).
Brings back some happy childhood memories,

3) Nelly ft. Kelly Rowland - Dilemma
Reminds me of when I finally scored with a girl that I liked for ages. Less than a week after though I started to hate her 'cos she was a head wrecker.

4) System of a Down - Prison Song
Reminds me of when I got caught with a butterfly knife in an airport on a school tour in Germany right after 9/11. It was the song I was listining to at the time, and I almost shat my pants when I got caught.

I'll get back to ye with number 5.

[ZBoxDemon]

As I don't have just 5 top songs that bring emotion in me, I'll have to rattle off 5 in no order:

Kiss - Rock and Roll All Night: This song just reminds me a lot of that pent up hidden wild side of me that I do not let out very often.

Black Sabbath - Megalomania: This one sort of descirbes my life. Sometimes i just want to be left alone, yet it seems everyone is in my privacy.

Metallica - Ride the Lighning: This one is just plain good, and I listen to it when I'm feeling pissy.

Nine Inch Nails - Closer: This is excellent shag music and for some reason this song sometimes amplifies my horniness.

Led Zeppelin - Achilles last Stand: This song always gets me jamming. And it is an excellent song.

I guess you didn't see my list. Think I had a little trouble? That list took me about an hour to put together.
