Ditto on "Ode to Joy" and also ditto on not possibly being able to narrow it down to five.

It changes from day to day and mood to mood.

Take Five would have been on there if I was at home to see the CD we play twice a week at least. Stephen Foster, what a great choice.
Sinatra could have been all five without much trouble.n Ditto Leonard Cohen and Tom Waits.
Sean-your list sounds like the list my kids would choose. Got to get more familiar with music from this century.
If I had been at home, this list would have differed substantially. But having no music with me, made me think rather than look.

That's what was tickling my fancy at work today, but in the car on the ride home it was The Four Seasons & Johhny Mathis, so go figure.

Much too difficult: on a day like today every single one might be The Fall. A momentary slice:

50 year Old Man - The Fall
Post-Break-Up Sex - Vaccines
The Smiles - Bisonics
You're The One - Kate Bush
At Last - Etta James

and five minutes from now a completely different list...

9:04 PM
K. A. Laity said...

And I should add that Lady Gaga's Fame Monster double CD has not left the car for months.

At this very moment, and I must say it will be different in five minutes:
1) LL Cool Jay: Mama Said Knock You Out (Unplugged version)
2) Audioslave: Show Me How To Live
3) Freedy Johnston: Mortician's Daughter
4) Kermit the Frog: Rainbow Connection
5) Kix: Blow My Fuse

Charlie Louvin - 'Ruby's Song'
Raul Malo - 'Unbreakable'
Eddie Hinton - 'The Well of Love'
Paul McCartney - 'That Was Me'
Sean Costello - 'No Half-Steppin''

It's true; I don't listen to much new music. By the time I find out I like a piece of music it's usually at least five years old.

Fresh Air--Quicksilver Messenger Service
My Prayer--The Platters

But because of the Internet, I have discovered many new CDs or groups.
One of the good things about it.

Tonight at 8:30 P.M. on a very icy night in New Jersey:

The Franck Symphony in D Minor

Dvorak's Cello Concerto

Beethoven's 6th Symphony

Tonight's the Night by The Shirelles

Dawn Go Away I'm No Good For You by The Four Seasons

Most anything sung by Dick Haymes

Wait, that's 6! Best I can do at the moment. Of course, the list is subject to impulse. Great topic, Patti!

And I too love the Ode to Joy.

Wait, wait, I forgot Gilbert and Sullivan and the Anvil Chorus from Il Trovatore and most of the opera Turandot and most any movie score by John Willians, especially Superman, and Brubeck's Take Five and ...!! Fun.

8:49 PM
pattinase (abbott) said...

God, THE SHIRELLES. I think they were perhaps my favorite group at age 12 or so. I knew the lyrics to every song.

8:54 PM
Yvette said...

Yeah, the Shirelles. Can't remember who, but someone once said that WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME TOMORROW was the best rock and roll song every. Some days I agree. Some days I pick TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT.

Or maybe WHY DO FOOLS FALL IN LOVE by Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers.

Actually I'm listening to the theme from the film SILVERADO right now.

Forgot too, the Brandenburg Concertos - HOW COULD I??? Ha!
