One question: What is a "Divynal"? And where is that damn Aussie slang thread when you need it?
(Okay, that is two questions I suppose.)

4.) Tom Waits- Time
5.) Neil Young- Pocahontas
6.) Neil Young- After the Gold Rush
7.) David Bowie- Ziggy Stardust
8.) Leonard Cohen- Famous Blue Raincoat
9.) Tori Amos-Winter
10.) Robyn Hitchcock- Devil's Radio or Television

List 2 of Equal weight & importance:

1.) Meatpuppets- Plateau
2.) Son Volt- Windfall
3.) Marty Robbins- El Paso
4.) Greg Brown-Spring Wind
5.) Damien Rice-Cannonball
6.) The Replacements-Bastards of Young

Thank you Tony! I am quite sorry I asked...

The Pogues Rule! MacGowan fans unite! ( Maybe we could learn how to play the Tin whistle too...wouldn't that be cool?)

Random Thought: I am realizing I forgot about the Cure too. That stuff would be fun to play. Robert Smith is a criminally under-rated guitarist in my book.

Brad!

This is an impóssible question, I thought we were passed the impossible questions!!!! :blink: :S :P

I'm sure I'll forget lots and lots...gonna try anyway ;)

1 Comfortably Numb
2 Old and Wise (Alan Parsons Project)
3 Fields of Gold (Eva Cassidy)
4 These dreams (Robbie Williams, yep I'm a big time RW-fan :cheer: !)
5 Jesus to a child (George Michael)
6 She (Elvis Costello)
7 Orchard Road (Leo Sayer)
8 I will always love you (Dolly Parton)
9 When I'm with you (Sheriff)
10 The Water is wide (is on repeat ever since Stuart's video and Michele pointing it out to me)

I'm sure I'll be back with another list, everyone is cheating here anyway! :laugh:

11 Fix you (Coldplay), the live-versions give me goosebumps!
12 Chasing cars (Snow Patrol)

Uh..........

Brad, Glad you opened that thread as the choices always evolve somewhat.

Loggins and Messina: Pathway to glory
Alan Parson: The Raven
Elvis Costello: Pump it up
Genesis : the Cinema Show
Led Zeppelin: the Battle of Evermore
Pink Floyd: Have a cigar
The Who: Who are you
Murray Head: Say it ain't so Joe
Stevie Ray Vaughn: Voodoo Chile, slight return (it is a cover but I always felt it was better than Jimmy's)
George Thorogood: Bad to the Bone

A bit of cheating:

Crosby Still and Nash : Dark Star
FleetwoodMac: The chain

Copperhead Road - Steve Earle
Cowgirl In the Sand - Neil Young
Day of The Eagle - Robin Trower
Matty Groves - Fairport Convention
Stevie Ray Vaughan - Life By The Drop, unplugged
Lake Of Fire - Nirvana Unplugged
Gaudete - Steeleye Span
Suicide is Painless - Johnny Mandel
Toccatta - SKY version

And I can count although I could easily go on and on, the above list was those off the top of my head, given a lot more thought it would be a different list tomorrow, maybe this should be a

Well, Brad I'm flattered you think I could cobble together a listen-able version. I'm not sure I play it right I just play it may way. It ain't that hard it is super-slow shuffle...G, C, Em, D, I'll try to do it sure. But that mean you have to put up with my crappy vocals...OHh, oh!
