Title: I need some help
Post by: Brad Tuttle on Sep 08, 2005, 11:28 PM
Ok I am new to this band known as "MMJ. I have a cousin who said no more than check them out. I am from utah and she told me to attend their show when they come in November. My question to all of you is: I want a list of the top ten songs by these guys(in your personal opinion), songs that will leave me coming back for more. I know this is kind of a hassle, and i know some of you will be pissed off, but you true fans help me out i heard some stuff on my space and i liked it. Thanks again for the help. GO GUSTER!

Today's 10 would be :-

The Bear (from Tennesse Fire CD)
The Bear (live from Acoustic Citsuoca CD)
Steam Engine (from It Still Moves CD)
Steam Engine (live from Bonnaroo)
Steam Engine (just Jim solo - see Streams section)
The Way That He Sings (AT Dawn CD)
Lowdown (At Dawn CD)
Xmas Curtain (At Dawn CD)
Come Closer (Songs/Ohia EP)
It Beats 4 U (Live from Bonnaroo)
I Will Be There When You Die/ Sunrides (Early Recordings/Learning CD)
They Ran (Tennessee Fire CD)
Run Thru (It Still Moves CD)

Tomorrow's 10 could be significantly different.

Hope this helps.

One Big Holiday
Steam Engine
Golden
Easy Morning Rebel
Heart Breakin Man
Lowdown
The Way That He Sings
Bermuda Highway
Hopefully
Phone Went West

In no particular order:

War Begun
Heartbreakin Man
The Bear
Come Closer
Can You See the Hard Helmet on My Head?
Just One Thing
One Big Holiday
Lay Low
I Think I'm Going to Hell
Evelyn is Not Real
I Will Be There When You Die

That's 11, but oh well.  I think that 'War Begun' and 'Evelyn is Not Real' can only be truly appreciated through a live performance / recording, but no one in particular.

Good MMJ songs to start out with (minus songs from "Z", which I have not yet heard):

The Bear
They Ran
The Way that He Sings
Phone Went West
Mahgeeta
One Big Holiday
Run Thru
O is the One that is Real
Sweetheart
I Will Sing You Songs

And, if you like kinda psychedlish, awesomely weird music, you can add Cobra to that list as well.
