1. Stairway to Heaven (No Contest)
2. Bohemian Rhapsody
3. All Along the Watchtower
4. Layla
5. Knockin On Heaven's Door (Guns N' Roses version)
To improve technique and of course trying to keep all as clean as possible. I know my own limits and speed limits and so on I never play anything I'm not capable of. That wouldn't make any sense. After three years of playing I tried to play everything as fast as possible and that sounded, I would say, like shit, and I didn't realize that if I'd play bit slower things than I was capable of playing then everything would sound much better.

Thats Hendrix version not Dylan right?

top ten (sorry can't do a top five)

#10-Call Me the Breeze by Lynyrd Skynyrd
#9-Blue on Black by Kenny Wayne Shepherd
#8-Little Wing by Jimi Hendrix
#7-I Just Want you by Ozzy
#6-Civil War by Guns n' Roses
#5-Lemon Song by Led Zeppelin
#4-Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd
#3-Heartbreaker by Led Zeppelin
#2-Hell's Bells by AC/DC
#1-Eiher Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) by Hendrix or Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin I can't decide. My opinions of favorite songs are always changing.

Like I didn't even put Clapton,Stevie Ray Vaughan, Kiss, Allman Brothers, Black Sabbath, or Yngwie on there so isn't really fair.

Led Zeppelin, FenderMan: Call Me The Breeze was actually written and performed by J J Cale on his "Naturally" album, I believe from the early 70's. He also wrote "Cocaine" and "After Midnight", both covered by Eric Clapton. I know this is a little off topic, but I'm a big fan of JJ Cale and wanted to set the record straight.

U2 - One, Please, Beautiful Day
Jimi Hendrix - Pali Gap, Machine Gun, Hear my train, Red House, etc

Yeah youre right I just checked. There is a famous Otis Redding song covered by someone I just cant remember what one. And Fender Man was talking about the Skynyrd cover of Call Me The Breeze from the mid-seventies. I jusy got it wrong.

How could I forget about Machine Gun by Jimi Hendrix. What an amazing song, that moves the soul. He can really feal what he was trying to say.

Zeppelin:The Battle of Evermore, No Quarter (listen to the 30min live version on the Coast to Coast CD.)Kashmir,and the entire Led Zepplin IV Album (the one w/ stairway on it i think it's IV--its got the old guy on front with the bundle of sticks on his back.)
Nick Drake:Pink Moon
Def Leopard:Pour Some Sugar
Dave Matthews Band:Ants Marching, Sattelite, What Would You Say

SRV:Traffic Jam (the version where he's jammin' with Carlos Santana),Voodoo Child/Chile whatever,Pride and Joy, Cold Shot (there is a CD of Stevie playing at the Knicker Bocker which is my humble old town of Westerly. Its got horrible sound, but if you can hear past it, it kicks ass. Room Full of Blues opened up for him, and my band teacher played with them.)
OKAY I HAVE TO STOP.!!! AHHHH!! TOO MANY GOOD SONGS!!!
Sorry for the length

Led Zeppelin:

Yeah, the Skynyrd cover of "Call Me The Breeze" rocks. Now I'm curious which Otis Redding song you're referring to.

I'll narrow it down to just rock:
1. "I can't Feel Nuthin'" by Captain Beyond
2. "Topaz" by Journey
3. "Land of 1000 Nights" by Mahogany Rush
4. "Basking in the White of the Midnight Sun" by Armageddon
5. "Children of the Grave" by Black Sabbath

That's the best I can do off the top of my head.

My list of five songs is comprised of songs which currently are grabbing my attention... this changes daily.

5). Better off Without a Wife (w/ intro) By Tom Waits (nighthawks at the diner version)
4). Texan Book of the Dead by Clutch (some real hell raisin' music here)
3). Priviledge by Incubus
2). The Chastising of Renegade by Primus (awesome song)
1). All Your Way by Morphine

So those are Raskolnikov's songs of the day...
