Best song trifecta - one group

You're stranded on an tropical island and your iPod can only hold three songs from one group. What would they be?

The three song limit will eliminate the one and two-hit wonders from discussion (thank goodness).

On behalf of all the children of the 80s out there, I present to you my all-time trifecta:

Def Leppard
1. Photograph
2. Rock of Ages
3. Foolin'

Three classics from the 80s, before Def Lep turned into a glorified bubble gum/pop band. :'(

Game on...

 

Kanye West: Spaceship, We Major and Two Words.

 

I see your Kanye and raise you Jay-Z: Heart of the City, Takeover and Moment of Clarity

 

If I'm taking Jay-Z, I'm taking Lucifer over Takeover. Other two are solid picks.

 

They Might Be Giants: "Don't Let's Start" "Ana Ng" and "New York City."

 

Eric Clapton -

1.) Crossroads, 2.) Layla, 3.) Circus

 

Tough call with a few bands tied as my favorites so ...

If it is Led Zeppelin I'd pick:

Stairway to Heaven
Achilles Last Stand
Dazed and Confused

If I pick Rush it is:

Working Man (from live album complete with a Neil Peart drum solo)
Losing It
Marathon

Pearl Jam would be:

Rearview Mirror
Indifference
Black

If it is between these three bands, I'm likely going with the Rush list

 

Doobie Brothers:
Taking It To The Streets
Black Water
China Grove

 

The under-appreciated Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs:
Li'l Red Riding Hood
El Toro de Goro (The Peace Loving Bull)
Wooly Bully

 

Tori Amos:
Crucify
Precious Things
Spacedog


Pearl Jam:
Black
Daughter
State of Love and Trust


Goo Goo Dolls:
Name
Normal
Naked


U2:
Angel of Harlem
If God Will Send His Angels
Sunday Bloody Sunday

 

U2
Where the streets have no name
I still haven't found what I'm looking for
With or without you

Aerosmith
Sweet Emotion
The Other Side
Livin on the Edge

 

"Game on" seems a bit too macho for the purpose of this thread.   Is this a contest? If so how will posts be judged?


If it is a contest - its game over with Bucks nomination of Sam the Sham .

Buck - you never fail to amaze.

Pretty good movie with Bruce Willis - Striking Distance that had Little Red Riding Hood in soundtrack
