Favourite music meme

[karohemd]

I kept the choice of artists (relatively) mainstream so people other than borusa, jonny_eol and sublevel3 have a chance of actually knowing the name, let alone guess a track. ;o)
(the order is by no means an indication of how much I like a particular artist, choosing only 10 was hard, as I probably have more than 10 different favourite genres)

ONE: Pick 10 favourite musicians/bands.
TWO: Post them and see who can guess which song of each musician's is your favourite.
THREE: Once someone guesses right, include your favorite song and the person who guessed it.

1. Bruce Springsteen - Racing in the Streets (tough decision) - inquis
2. Melissa Etheridge
3. Steve Earle
4. Stevie Ray Vaughn
5. Apocalyptica
6. Aerosmith - Janey's Got a Gun - inquis
7. P.A.L
8. Rotersand
9. Tanzwut
10.Cultus Ferox

Born to run?

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Not that easy. ;o)
Think again.

[essbee80.livejournal.com]

streets of philadelphia?

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

This one of the very few tracks I don't like, at least the music. The lyrics are good but it's wrapped in commercial nonsense.

[essbee80.livejournal.com]

Its not as obvious as born in the usa?

*laughs*

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

No, think album track and at least 25 years old.

Re: *laughs*

[essbee80.livejournal.com]

So its older than me then? Ah I give up. I thought these werent too difficult?

Re: *laughs*

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Heh. Quite a lot of the music I listen to is as old as or even older than me, so no surprise there.
The artists weren't difficult. There aren't many Springsteen tracks I really that came out after 1982.

Darkness on the edge of town?

Getting warmer

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

You're on the right album.

Re: Getting warmer

[inquis.livejournal.com]

Streets of fire?

Re: Getting warmer

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Oh so close, one word is correct.

Re: Getting warmer

[inquis.livejournal.com]

Racing in the Street then?

Re: Getting warmer

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Taadaa!

Did you know (courtesy of kiaransalyn that if you play Bruce Springsteen at 33 instead of 45 it sounds uncannily like Andrew Eldritch?

Re: Getting warmer

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

*laughs*
I need to try that. I think I have at least one 45 single at home in Germany.

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Oh so very close.

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Getting colder, you were on the right album earlier.

[inquis.livejournal.com]

Janie's got a gun?

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[devalmont.livejournal.com]

Black Velvet, at a guess.

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Nope.
The Alannah Miles track is one of my favourites, too but it's not in the list. Saw her live about 10 years ago, fantastic (and gorgeous).

[scy11a.livejournal.com]

Could the Rotorsand be Almost Violent perchance? (as they only have the one album and I knwo for a fact that it's your favourite track on that album!)

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Well done!
It's still Rotersand, no matter how many times it's spelled wrong on various websites. :oP
