Favorite Music

Some of my favorite bands are: Rolling Stones, Chili Peppers, Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews, Guster, and Jack Johnson. If I'm driving at night, I'll take something low key or acoustic, while during the day I'm more of a classic rock or early 90s rock type of guy. My favorite album of all time is Sticky Fingers by the Rolling Stones. B-sides like "Can't You Hear Me Knocking," "Sway," "Sister Morphine," and "Moonlight Mile" make the entire album filler-free and versatile. In terms of lesser known songs I like--for something chill I'll take "I Could Have Lied" by the Chili Peppers, "Yellow Ledbetter" by Pearl Jam, "F-Stop Blues" by Jack Johnson, or "Mayonnaise" by Smashing Pumpkins. Some of my favorite loud songs are "Over the Hills and Far Away" by Zeppelin, "All Along the Watchtower" as redone by Hendrix, and as a great unknown song--"Why Does Love Got to Be So Sad" by Derek and the Dominos. This song features Eric Clapton and Duane Allman tearing it up with simultaneous electric guitar work, and the result is awesome.
