39-28

39. Dream On - Aerosmith (Aerosmith - 1973)

the first time i heard this i turned my mini radio on full blast and start rocking out (i was about 14, before i had touched a guitar) and my dad came home early from work and yelled at me to shut it off. From that moment on it was true love.

38. Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen (A Night At The Opera - 1975)

The guitar solo in this is one of the few more complex pieces of music i can actually play. and like most people i first heard this while watching wayne's world.

37. Sunday Bloody Sunday - U2 (War - 1983)

when i heard the title i had no clue it refered to an actually event, i just thought they had something against church. The way edge can change completely what he is playing during the verses and still make it sound cool blows my mind.

36. Thirty-Three - Smashing Pumpkins (Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness - 1995)

The smashing pumpkins ode to the second last day of jesus' life. and you can make it last forever.

35. Brian Wilson - The Barenaked Ladies (Rock Spectacle - 1998)

the live version is far superior to the album version, mainly because the live version has all the intensity and dirt that comes with playing live. i truly enjoy the rip off of secret angent man at the end of each chorus.

34. Fake Plastic Tree - Radiohead (The Bends - 1995)

I've always felt when it comes to love i could totally relate to this song, my fake plastic love but i can't help this feeling, i could blow through the ceiling. Me and my buddy Gord used to always sum up christianity with the last phrase of that song, and if i could be who you wanted all the time

33. Moonage Daydream - David Bowie (Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars - 1972)

That first shot is what does it for me. i've heard covers where they enter into the song softly, but that just won't do it for me.I guess any song talking about alien love and has a saxaphone in it will do the trick.

32. Closer To The Heart - Rush (A Farewell To Kings - 1977)

if anybody can tell me what it means to be closer to the heart, you win a prize. The live version is far superior with the big jam session at the end.

31. Something I Can Never Have - Nine Inch Nails (Pretty Hate Machine - 1989)

I like to think he is singing this song to satan. that or God. probably a girl though. "your everywhere i go, you're all i see ; just a fading f"cking reminder of who i used to be" you decide.

30. Sun Up...Running For Home - Matthew Good Band (Beautiful Midnight - 1999)

this song is full of metaphors i have yet to figure out, but for some reason it just fits into the song. Like i saw your face before in rough, you should wait around a while, your body's bound to show up. I like the idea of Jesus singing "its gets tight in there (your heart) sometimes, looking for those defects, talking like its a reflex.

29. Scar Tissue - Red Hot Chili Peppers (Californication - 1999)

beautiful piece of guitar, a true ode to unrequited love. with the birds i'll share this lonely view.

28. Corduroy - Pearl Jam (Live On Two Legs - 1998)

If eddie vedder didn't mumble throughout this song i'd declare it sad, but alas, instead its fully of wierd quotes like "can't buy what i want because its free". The guitar solo at the end is so random, i like it alot.

tune it next time for 27-15
