What's the best song to put on for your morning alarm?

[yurbud]

I'm using the Beatles ''Here Comes the Sun,'' but I might get tired of it. Any good alternatives?

[mcctatas]

1. I'm hard to wake up so I would need something utterly shocking

and alarming maybe this:

[Skip Intro]

15. +100

[Paradoxical]

2. Easier- Grizzly Bear

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3_XzNFYZos

[HopeHoops]

3. "21st Century Schizoid Man" - THAT will get your ass out of bed!

[Amerigo Vespucci]

8. I always welcome an excuse to post the cover version by Japanese group "Seasons"...

[HopeHoops]

18. I don't know if that's totally beautiful or absolutely fucking sick.

DAMN is that well done!

[Amerigo Vespucci]

24. It's BOTH, and that's why I love it.

Wish I knew what Fripp thought of it. He's a disruptor, it should have tickled his fancy.

[txwhitedove]

28. WOW! Love it.

[siligut]

4. feelng Good, sung by Nina Simon

Its a good, mellow wake up.

[Richardo]

5. "I got you Babe"

[yurbud]

13. I thought of that, but then I'd have the same day everyday forever

[av8rdave]

6. I like U2's "Bad"

It has a very nice, easy on the wakeup intro, then gradually builds in volume if needed.

I tried using Crazy Train once. Really. Bad. Idea.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

7. We built this city... We built this city on rock and roll... We built this city...

We built this city on rock and roll... We built this city... We built this city on rock and roll... We built this city on rock and roll... We built this city... We built this city on rock and roll...

14. I just need to wake up not vomit-The Blitz someone's gonna die tonight

9. I would think there'd be only alternatives to THIS one:

.
.
.
The Beatles "Good Morning Good Morning"

10. I use one of our C & W stations. I know that it will wake me up and

that I won't lay in bed enjoying the music. I will definitely get up and turn that stuff off!

[Tikki]

12. HA!! Mr. Tikki did that, also.

He is retired now...but, he even had it set on the kitchen radio so he
had to walk down the hallway to turn it off. Worked every time.

19. that would activate my PTSD about my redneck childhood

Even as a kid, I found that stuff profoundly depressing.

11. "Bullet With Butterfly Wings"

"Bullet With Butterfly Wings"

The world is a vampire, sent to drain
Secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames
And what do I get, for my pain?
Betrayed desires, and a piece of the game

Even though I know - I suppose I'll show
All my cool and cold - like old job

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

Now I'm naked, nothing but an animal
But can you fake it, for just one more show?
And what do you want?
I want to change
And what have you got, when you feel the same?

Even though I know - I suppose I'll show
All my cool and cold - like old job

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

Tell me I'm the only one
Tell me there's no other one
Jesus was the only son, yeah.
Tell me I'm the chosen one
Jesus was the only son for you

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
And someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

Despite all my rage am I still just a rat in a-
Despite all my rage am I still just a rat in a-
Despite all my rage am I still just a rat in a cage

Tell me I'm the only one
Tell me there's no other one
Jesus was the only son for you


And I still believe that I cannot be saved

16. Grantchester Meadows by Pink Floyd

[Iggo]

17. Motorhead's "Ace of Spades" or Sabbath's "Electric Funeral"

Judas Priest's "Breaking The Law" is good, too. Starts with that hard snare shot, then it's off to the races.

[IcyPeas]

20. I don't wanna work - I just wanna bang on my drum all day.

[bluesbassman]

21. Joe Walsh- Meadows

If the intro don't get you outa bed, at least you got another four and half minutes of a great tune! :)

[Amerigo Vespucci]

29. Walsh got screwed by Rolling Stone...

...that "100 Greatest Guitarists" issue with Hendrix on the cover and no mention of Walsh inside.



The list is here for anyone who's curious: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/100-greatest-guitarists-of-all-time-19691231

He later mentioned in an interview that yes, he was hurt by the exclusion.

I love "Meadows" but my personal favorite's got to be "County Fair." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drj7jIoImjM

(YES, it is actually County Fair and NOT a RickRoll...I swear).

:toast:

[PVnRT]

22. "Reign In Blood" by Slayer

[hamsterjill]

23. James Brown "I Feel Good"

And I try to make myself believe that I do when I'm on my way to work!!!

[bif]

25. "Kick Out The Jams!" by the MC5

Especially if you have a hard time getting out of bed.

[zen_bohemian]

26. There is only one......Rock N Roll-Led Zepplen

27. "Sixteen Tons" by Tennessee Ernie Ford

Perfect for work days.
