"After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music".
Here come the helicopter -- second time today
Everybody scatters and hopes it goes away
How many kids they've murdered only God can say
If I had a rocket launcher...I'd make somebody pay.
I don't believe in guarded borders and I don't believe in hate
I don't believe in generals or their stinking torture states
And when I talk with the survivors of things too sickening to relate
If I had a rocket launcher...I would retaliate
On the Rio Lacantun one hundred thousand wait
To fall down from starvation -- or some less humane fate.
Cry for Guatemala, with a corpse in every gate
If I had a rocket launcher...I would not hesitate
I want to raise every voice -- at least I've got to try.
Every time I think about it water rises to my eyes.
Situation desperate echoes of the victims cry
If I had a rocket launcher...some sonofabitch would die
-Bruce Cockburn

5. "Foggy Notion" - The Velvet Underground
Light My Fire (album version)-Doors Everyone has heard it a million times but I still never tire of the keyboard and guitar solos. The album version is always the best.
Orange Skies-Love Almost mournful flute perfect juxtapose to the bright lyrics.
Flute Thing-Blues Project Perhaps best jazz/rock melding ever.
1921-Who Sublime lynchpin for 'Tommy'.
Tomorrow Never Knows-Beatles Can't not have a Beatles song not included.
Just listing the first 5 songs that come into my head...
L.A. Woman - The Doors
What a Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong
Megalomania - Black Sabbath
Hallelujah - Gin (not theLeonard Cohen song!)
Superstition - Stevie Wonder
Haha my mathematics skills strike again... I listed 6, edited down to 5!
Starting pre production on a sketch show. More soon.
1. "The Porpoise Song" - The Monkees
2. "Alone Again Or" - Love
3. "Hung Up On A Dream" - The Zombies
4. "What Goes On" - The Velvet Underground
5. "Chimes of Freedom" - The Byrds
Wild Night - Van Morrison
Everybody needs somebody to love - Blues Brothers
I Think I Love you - Del Shannon
Maggie M'Gill - The Doors [Felt Forum]
A little less conversation - Elvis
1.-Tool- hooker with a penis
2-Pantera-mouth for war
3.Strokes-last nite
4.Misfits-hybrid moments
5.-Arctic monkeys-i bet that you look good on the dance floor
No originality... I'll take 5 giants, with no particular order:
The Long and Winding Road - The Beatles
Shine on you crazy diamond - Pink Floyd
Riders on the storm - The Doors
Atmosphere - Joy Division
Magician - Lou Reed
1.Ship of fools - The Doors (Dallas 1970, 'cause studio version is not anywhere near this version)

3.It's no secret - Jefferson Airplane
4.Your time will come - Quicksilver Messenger Service (cover)
5.Thank You - Led Zeppelin
Some deep AND fun stuff today...those last three take me back!!
The DC5 were having hits right up with the Beatles ...for a while!
1) Stevie Wonder...always..."I Believe When I Fall In Love" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H--_-gPX3Nw Is there a better love song that rocks it with a great rave up ending...so damn great.
2) Led Zep..."Good Times Bad Times"
3) Dave Clark Five..."Catch Us If you Can" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRQCN5x1-NI
They were hot and stood the test, for a while. Some nice Yardbirdish harp licks here!!
