No Gentle Giant?
I'll have to make a phone call to Heaven to get my favorites on stage. This would be so cool! Thanks Sigmund!
Weezer
Nirvana
Sublime
Blind Melon
Pearl Jam
P.S. I would love it if the Pixies could warm the crowd up for the rest of these bands. I'm being greedy.

Oh, yeah, but I like the live version so much better with the lively violins and horns, and faster-sounding tempo. I can even overlook the singer pronouncing it "con-quist-a-door" (although apparently I'm really not overlooking it).
What I really like about the song is, as we know, about 90% of our standard songs are 1) I love you 2) you broke my heart or 3) let's have sex. Another 8% is life-sucks laments.
This one falls in that last 2% of "other." This a guy musing about life and fate while looking at a decaying statue of a long-dead conqueror. I mean, it's just not your standard theme.
(All numbers are inventions because, as we know, 93.52% of statistics are made up on the spot.)

I've assumed con-quist-ador is a British-ish pronunciation. Yeah, I've always dug the live version, not only by comparison with the original but as a great rock tune. Their whole live album was so expertly realized. Keith Reid (Keith Reid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) was a fantastic lyricist; arguably the greatest in rock n roll history, and virtually unknown publicly. No, he tended not to write about girlfriends and cars.

I actually like some Dixie Chicks. They are probably good live. Loved their song Goodbye Earl about a wifeabusing man who put his wife in intensive care. And two dames who put their heads together and killed him. As the song says "Turned out that Earl was a missing person that nobody missed at all". No excuses there. They just took care of the problem.

Oh girl, I was wondering about you, but I'm not about to poke fun at someone's taste in music. But now I can laugh (at your first one, not this one).
My list would be:
Big Head Todd & the Monsters
Dave Matthews Band
Dire Straights
and we'd have a moment for 70s dance freaks:
Abba
Bee Gees
and then we'd chill a bit
The Grateful Dead
Kurben I like those chicks too - Long Time Gone is my story!
...as much as I owe them for the adoption of my nom de plume, I really am not that enthralled with their sound....No Gentle Giant?
