Drive-By Truckers: 1. Living Bubba; 2. Zip City; 3. Dress Blues

Springsteen: 1. Thunder Road (probably cliche, but I absolutely love this song and have for 30 years); 2. Johnny 99 (Seeger Sessions live version); 3. Shut Out the Light

 

What the hell is wrong with you? You're not a real man. What a wimpy choice of songs.

I can't believe you didn't select "Your Baby Never Looked Good In Blue." ;D

Wilson Phillips:
1.) Release Me
2.) Impulsive
3.) You Won't See Me Cry (helluva song to be released just as I was getting my heart broken for the first time)

 

Pearl Jam - Evenflow, Alive, Black
Pearl Jam - State of Love and Trust, Breath, Alone
Pearl Jam - Satan's Bed, Whipping, Not for You

 

Good call, except that it omits Kitty's Back.

Incredible album.

In the same spirit of This Guy's pick, gotta go with side 3 on the LP for Little Feat's Waiting For Columbus.

1. Day or Night.
2. Mercenary Territory.
3. Spanish Moon. (Feat's signature live tune, to this day, even 25-plus years after Lowell George's death.)

Big props to the Tower of Power horns section's contribution

 

I think you got to factor in length, so that you get more bang for your buck.

Grateful Dead:
Eyes of the World
Sugaree
Morning Dew

The Allman Brothers could also give you three excellent songs that will add up to about 60-70 minutes.

Pearl Jam:
Betterman
Leatherman
Nothingman

 

I liked "You're In Love" too (true confession time: when I was messing around with one of my best friend's sisters during my senior year of HS--unbeknowest to him, of course--she got me the first Wilson Phillips CD for my birthday). But I can't listen to it with a straight face ever since one of my other buddies pointed out that the whole song basically goes "You're in love, cause you're in love, and I'm happy cause you're in love."

Expose had a pretty impressive run of hits from their first two albums. But I loved, loved, loved that "Your Baby Never Looked Good In Blue" song. Too bad it was released in 1992 and not 1988.

 

1. In Memory of Elizabeth Reed (11 minutes and change on Fillmore East)
2. Whippin' Post (an entire side of the LP on Fillmore East)
3. One Way Out (from Eat a Peach, about 6 minutes)
