Your Top 5 Big Whiskey Songs
 

Now that everything has had time to really sink in...list your top 5 songs, from the album.

Kind of a no-brainer here, for me. These 5 are really all I listen to, anyway. [Bonus songs from LRB included]


1. Lying in the Hands of God
2. Seven
3. Why I Am
4. Little Red Bird
5. Write a Song

HM. Spaceman is great live, but the studio is kind of weak, imo

Re: Your Top 5 Big Whiskey Songs
 

Off the album:

1. Squirm
2. Alligator Pie
3. Shake Me Like a Monkey
4. Why I Am
5. Lying In The Hands of God

Re: Your Top 5 Big Whiskey Songs
 

1. Seven
2. Alligator pie
3. Lithog
4. Squirm
5. Dive In

Re: Your Top 5 Big Whiskey Songs
 

Honestly, I only have a top 4.

Lying In The Hands Of God
Alligator Pie
Seven
Baby Blue

I don't care about the rest of the album, or LRB.

EDIT - Actually, I like #27. I hate Beach Ball. Little Red Bird and Write A Song are nothing to me as well.

Re: Your Top 5 Big Whiskey Songs
 

Shake Me Like A Monkey
Seven
Lying In The Hands Of God
Spaceman
Squirm

Guess I like the 'S' songs

How can we count songs from Little Red Bird? Its B-sides. Its like saying Granny, Drive In Drive Out and Get In Line are my favorite tunes from Under the Table and Dreaming

Re: Your Top 5 Big Whiskey Songs
 

lol. There wasn't a B-sides disc with Crash, unfortunately. The Little Red Bird disc was released as a companion to the album and, imo, a few of the songs are better than most of those off of the main disc. Who knew? I really like Trouble With You, too. Part of Stand Up, and better than anything off of that album.

Re: Your Top 5 Big Whiskey Songs
 

But that doesn't mean if you think its better it suddenly becomes part of the album. Its not.

Europeans could argue about Write A Song or Corn Bread, sure. Those 2 are on their version of Big Whiskey (but listed as bonus tracks)

It was only a companion to the Deluxe Edition. People who just bought the album in stores didn't get these tunes. They're not part of the album.

Agree to disagree i suppose

Re: Your Top 5 Big Whiskey Songs
 

Seven
Lying In The Hands Of God
Spaceman
Squirm
Why I Am

Though, Seven and Lying In The Hands of God >>>>> the others by far. Seven is catchy.

Re: Your Top 5 Big Whiskey Songs
 

Trouble With You better than the 14 Stand Up songs? Jeez...

Re: Your Top 5 Big Whiskey Songs
 

i agree that bonus songs should not count. if they didn't give us a b-side disk, we wouldn't have those songs. they aren't actually part of the album.


1- LITHOG
2- Squirm
3- Seven
4- Alligator Pie
5- Why I Am

Re: Your Top 5 Big Whiskey Songs
 

yes

#27 is better than Beach Ball, Little Red Bird, and Write a Song? Jeez...

Re: Your Top 5 Big Whiskey Songs
 

Squirm
Seven
Why I Am
You and Me
Funny The Way It Is

Re: Your Top 5 Big Whiskey Songs
 

Beach Ball has some of the worst lyrics since "I call you up. You pick up." Little Red Bird is barely even a song. Write A Song is boring, but omg it sounds like old DMB!!! It's epic!!!

Re: Your Top 5 Big Whiskey Songs
 

its a 'tiny little song'.

Re: Your Top 5 Big Whiskey Songs
 

It seriously could not exist for all I care.

For what it's worth, I doubt the band sat there and said, "Hmm, Trouble With You is probably the best song we've got here. These other 14 are going on the album instead, though."

Re: Your Top 5 Big Whiskey Songs
 

1. Lying In the Hands Of God (this song has moved up from nearly the lowest spot on my list, it's grown so much on me)
2. Baby Blue
3. Seven
4. Beach Ball
5. Alligator Pie

Re: Your Top 5 Big Whiskey Songs
 

1. Lying In The Hands of God
2. Seven
3. Spaceman
4. Shake Me Like A Monkey
5. Squirm

Re: Your Top 5 Big Whiskey Songs
 

1. Seven
2. Lying In The Hands Of God
3 Shake Me Like A Monkey
4. Funny The Way It Is
5. Write A Song

Re: Your Top 5 Big Whiskey Songs
 

1)Seven
2)Why I Am (Love Carter live on this)
3)Baby Blue (Big 3 good)
4)Alligator Pie
5)Write A Song (Classic)

I personally can't stand LITHOG from the album, it's amazing live and Jeff kills it, but on the album? Take it or leave it. And yes, Trouble With You is one of the top 3 songs from Stand Up, bonus song or not.

Re: Your Top 5 Big Whiskey Songs
 

I don't like Trouble With You anywhere near the top 3 of Stand Up sessions work, but the guy above said it was better than all 14 tracks. Not just top 3; #1.

Re: Your Top 5 Big Whiskey Songs
 

I've actually never heard Trouble With You, now that I think about it..

Re: Your Top 5 Big Whiskey Songs
 

I don't understand this comment at all. Would you please clarify?

Re: Your Top 5 Big Whiskey Songs
 

It's not bad, but I'm not sure if it's better than half the stuff on the album, let alone top 3, let alone the clear best song.

Every time I listen, I walk away so unsatisfied. Like, "What was that?" There's no substance to it. Okay, I get it; it's a "nice little song". To me, it's just a waste. There's just nothing there. I can't even take anything away positively.

Re: Your Top 5 Big Whiskey Songs
 

In no particular order:

Seven
Squirm
Alligator Pie
Spaceman
Time Bomb
