Top Tracks Talk Options

[Voodoo Lady]

Last night a member of another band I follow tweeted this same question. A lot of cool discussion followed.

Top 7 LĪVE songs:

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.

Top 3 Deep Tracks:
1.
2.
3.

Everyone’s going to be different with how they approach it, which makes for some cool conversation. I went fast, off the top of my head, with how I’m feeling today, and stayed away from rarities. I define deep track as one that is buried, that a casual fan would not recognize. Here’s mine:

1. I Alone
2. Lakini’s Juice
3. Dolphin’s Cry
4. Lightning Crashes
5. All Over You
6. White, Discussion
7. Pain Lies On the Riverside

1. You Are the World
2. Like I Do
3. Heropsychodreamer

What is interesting for me is that I’ve been tired of Lightning Crashes for about 20 years, but know I need to include it on the top 7. Also, I’m sure later I’ll want to replace Like I Do, but it’s what I’m craving today.

I’m anxious to see your lists.

What a fun exercise!

Top 7 LĪVE songs:

1. Operation Spirit (It's the song that got me into Live and turned me into a drummer, plus, at one time, it helped me get through a trying time with religion.)
2. Lakini's Juice (Hands down their best rock song.)
3. White, Discussion (I was absolutely blown away when I first heard this song, and it's their best closer by far. If they don't close with it, I'm sad.)
4. I Alone (When I had emergency surgery almost 10 years ago, I had "fear is not the end of this" on loop as I was wheeled into surgery.)
5. They Stood Up For Love (Just a great rock song.)
6. 6310 Rodgerton Dr (Yeah, I went there with a Shinn song.)
7. The Way Around is Through (Another from The Turn. I really like the album, and I just love everything about this song.)

Top 3 Deep Tracks:
1. Like I Do (The opening chords still send chills down my spine, and it's their second best rocker behind LJ. What I wouldn't give to have both songs on a setlist again.)
2. Gas Hed Goes West (I don't know what it is about this song, but I remember the exact place and moment when I heard it teased on the radio before SS came out and it's always been one of my favorites.)
3. Still Aroused (The live version more than the recorded version.)

I have *way* more deep tracks that I like than "the hits", and almost kept going just to list them out, but that'll be a topic for another day.
