A top ten bands list seemed hard until I saw this, this is impossible for me.

I'll start with little wing by Hendrix

And end with little wing.

That's really the only song I can't think of that would definitely be in my top ten.

Oh yeah, and wish you were by pink Floyd.

I don't care how popular those songs are, they're very touching songs that I hold near and dear.

I guess I'll throw Europa by santana in there.

Paul McCartney – Maybe I’m Amazed

"Wish You Were Here" is fantastic. It's one of those songs that it doesn't matter how many thousands of times I've heard it, it still resonates.

Thats exactly how I feel. I'll go a while without hearing it and when it comes on the radio I'm reminded how amazing it is. What's your opinion on little wing? You are a fan of Hendrix arent you?

Janszoon

"Little Wing" is okay but I've never been super into it. I think if I were going to pick a favorite Hendrix song it would either be "Angel" or "Waterfall".

empress, have you heard the electrified 1966 live performance of that song on The Bootleg Series? Bob with The Hawks (The Band) sans Levon; and I really like Robbie Robertson's guitar solo on this.



Great choice! This was always my favorite track on Double Fantasy. Here's the "stripped" version (which I prefer slightly to the official release).

Always been my favorite version of the song, love the way he sings it. Bob alway Sounded best with The Band.

I was trying to think of a Neil young song for my list. Comes a time is a good candidate.

I agree -- The Band just seemed to bring out the best in him. I also love how this performance begins with the click-clack of heels on the floorboards.

ah yeah i've heard it! i just listened to it again and it's great, really anything him and The Band did was great, but i don't think it really compares with the acoustic version... there's something gloomy/melancholic about the original version that gets to me. thanks for posting that again though!

the stripped version of it is obviously good too as it doesn't stray too far from the other version, but it's missing that little piano riff that i love! hahaha it's a perfect song though isn't it? i can't even point out exactly what's so great about it but it just is. :P
