The Songs that mean the most

Easy one for me. Rake fifteen times.

That probably only comes to like 58 1/2 minutes though, so maybe The Addams Family Theme to fill up the hour.

The other day I was doing some house cleaning and I came across my collection of my old Guitar Worlds magazines. I started looking at them and came across the section where guitar world picks a guitarist and ask him for his most influential songs that equal out to 60 minutes aka " 60 Minutes that rocked my world." So I decided to make a list of my own...not sure if it equal 60 mins out but I figured I give it a go. Looking forward to seeing other Cult members fav. jams! Here's my list, feel free to explain why these songs mean a lot to you/add pictures

Elliott Smith-Kings Crossing

Bob Dylan-Mr. Tambourine Man

Bright Eyes- Lime Tree

The Kills- Kissy Kissy

John Lennon- Instant Karma

HIM-Heartache Every Moment

Blind Reverend Gary Davis-Death don't have no mercy in this Land

Frank Zappa- You are what you is

Ryan Adams- Hotel Chelsea Nights

OH MY GOD! Someone who likes Townes Van Zandt!! I think my fav. by him (which is hard because his has so many amazing songs) is "Waiting around to die," "Rake," and "Where I lead me."

I'm liking your picks too. I can't believe I forgot about Bjork, Mars Volta, and Radiohead!! Blasphemy. You have good taste my friend

Is this a subtle dig at my list? I know I could have put some Hendrix, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Johnny Cash, etc. But it was off the top of my head...so, you know, recent stuff.

You'll never get a music list out of me... ever.

Beirut - The Gulag Orkestar

Radiohead - Exit Music

Matthew Good Band - Running for Home

Interpol - Untitled

Wolf Parade - Dinner Bells (demo version)

Frog Eyes - Ice on the Trail

Bright Eyes - I Believe in Symmetry

Followed by Ghosts - Clear Blue Sky

Jimi Hendrix - Red House

Pink Floyd - Echoes (hits version)

Regina Spektor - The Flowers

No need to defend your list.

I don't have time for this now, but I'll definitely come back later and make some sort of list.

Reading everyone's comments makes me realize I need to revise my list a little...so much I forgot about!

Doors - Roadhouse Blues
Soundgarden - Just Like Suicide
Stone Temple Pilots - Wicked Garden
Pearl Jam - Breathe
Violent Femmes - Kiss Off
Lo Fidelity Allstars - Battleflag
Mother Lovebone - Crown of Thorns
Nirvana - Rape Me
Temple of the Dog - Say Hello To Heaven
Led Zepplin - In The Evening
Alice and Chains - Rooster

That's what I have for right now.

Oh hell yeah!

I have many of these, but I'm a little tipsy from some vino so I will come back and make a suitable post when I'm more sober.

For now, though....

First real concert I ever went to...this whole album...love it.

This is a fantastic list!!

Thanks so much lacr1mation. These will never get old to me.

I'm starting from about 14yrs old onward...

Bad Religion- Stranger than Fiction
NIN- Gave Up
Pearl Jam- Rear View Mirror
Skinny Puppy- Natures Revenge
Tori Amos- Silent All These Years
Tool- Lateralus
Morphine- The Saddest Song
Mike Doughty- Thank You Lord, For Sending Me The F Train
The Ramones- The KKK Took My Baby Away
Jane's Addiction- 3 Days
Rage Against The Machine- Know Your Enemy
Nirvana- All Apologies

Wow we are pretty damn musically compatible. Good choices. Hard to find any Skinny Puppy fans besides theses wanna be Cyber Punk girls now days. Their new CD is actually pretty good. I actually crown surfed during one of their last tours during "Testure". I've never really liked Tori Amos but then again I'm not a chick and she seems to mostly be liked by girls. One very good old friend of mine loves Tori with a passion.

The rolling stones- little red rooster
- sympathy for the devil
- The entire Exile on Main Street album
Pretty lights- Aimin at your head
Otis Redding- These Arms of mine
The Roots- Never Do(What they do)
Van Morrison- T.B. Sheets
- Ain't no Sunshine
White Zombie- More Human than Human
Ghostface Killa- Grew up hard
Joe Bonamassa- Ballad of John Henry
The Allman Brothers- Midnight Rider

Definitely more than an hour. T.B. Sheets alone is a 9 min blues epic but he did have a tendency to over do it. Read that book about the doors Riders on the Storm that was written by their drummer and he talks about Van Morrison coming to this party, reads his poetry, makes everybody cry, leaves.
