Which Songs You Wish You Wrote?

[RandomBrandon]

I would like to see the people's opinion about the songs they wish to have written. I would like that people did not use songs like Stairway To Heaven or Bohemian Rhapsody or songs like that because then other people would use the G-word and I hate that word. For those who don't know that word, good for you. Here is my list:

I Love It Loud/KISS
18 and Life/Skid Row
Jeremy/Pearl Jam
Whiplash/Metallica
London Calling/The Clash
Holy Diver/Dio
Aerials/System of a Down
Bulls on Parade/Rage Against The Machine

Those are the ones that came to mind. There are a lot more but those are the ones I could think of. Please don't use the G-word and have fun deciding. SORRY FOR THE GRAMMAR ERROS IF THERE ARE ANY

I can't really say because a lot of music I listen to doesn't come out clearly in the music I make, which leads to less rip offs(actually, don't think I have ripped off anyone yet) and wishing that I wrote it first. :)

FREEBIRD ROFLROFLROFLROFLROFL
Now that that's out of the way,

And a very good song that was successful so I'd be rich. PAINT IT BLACK

nice! :)

[tridentgum0]

I wish I could write any song that doesn't suck. But I lack talent, so I won't get my hopes up.

[360lover]

Also i will break the rules and say stairway And Bohemian rhapsody.

I wish I was neil Peart, so I could write all the rush songs. Oh yeah, and the best drummer.

[JukeBoxHero]

Lyric wise or music wise? All the members have a very big influence on how the music sounds.

[instantdeath999]

Two that very quickly comes to mind are My Generation and Revolution.

[chumsicles]

that "Hey There Delilah" song, cause I would have been a millionaire. That song is so incredibly simple, banal, and boring that I could have written it, and I can't play guitar!

[Runesmith]

Superman's Dead - Our Lady Peace

That's definately high up on my list. Nice choice.

A few more:

Bob Dylan - "Knockin' On Heaven's Door"
Nirvana - "Sliver"
Marvin Gaye - "What's Going On"
Black Sabbath - "NIB"
They Might Be Giants - "Ana Ng"
Stone Roses - "She Bangs The Drums"

[Squaretriangles]

My inner grammar nazi is telling me to call you out on the title to this thread, but my inner human being is telling me to ignore it. Hmmmm....


Yeah, the Rush discography.

[neckermanncj]

The Stone Roses - This Is The One

[timmay9]

That's definately high up on my list. Nice choice.

A few more:

Bob Dylan - "Knockin' On Heaven's Door"
Nirvana - "Sliver"
Marvin Gaye - "What's Going On"
Black Sabbath - "NIB"
They Might Be Giants - "Ana Ng"
Stone Roses - "She Bangs The Drums"

Funny, I really, really enjoy all 6 of those songs and their lyrics.

[sonicnerd23]

Dogs by Pink Floyd.

[David2380]

dust in the wind by Kansas....
probably the most morbidly ralistic existential song ever written.

I realize that(huge RUSH Fan), but for this fourm, I would say lyrics. Neil seems well rounded. I love Geddy and Alex, but I can't sing or play guitar/bass, so that leaves drumming. Also his kit is a beast. If only I had tha S&A, or R30 kit. Be practicing his solo's all the time!
