Default What is your 5 favorite Peter Green songs?

Just thought we needed some more action here...and some positive! So what ARE your 5 favorite Greeny songs?


I would nominate:

Green Manalishi

Incredible piece of music but quite scary.

Albatross

Many a woman's favorite love music...all 3 minutes! According to Splinter Group stage rap, so it must be true.

Must think about the rest...not an easy task!

I don't know about positive but if I hear one more thing about a twirling gypsy witch and her "super fantastic" new album, I might scream. So I came to the PG forum for some sanity!

Well I would say:

Man of the World
Green Manalishi
A Fool No More
Oh Well
Long Grey Mare

I've also partial to Slabo Day and Proud Pinto (even though on my iTunes I just noticed that Slabo Day is listed as being composed by Kuma Harada). I'm too lazy to go and get my copy of the CD out of the drawer but I'm fairly sure that is wrong?????

EDIT: - funny how so many people love Albatross though, one of the few PG songs I really CAN'T listen to... (used to like it when I first started listening to FM - they even used to play in on the radio back then, but now I skip it every time).

Welcome...this zone should be Nicks-free.

Slabo was written by the whole band; i.e. they jammed it.

Hm..yeah I'll remove Albatross, kind of tired of it, but love Greeny's new versions.


And add:

Man of the world
The Apostle
Closing my eyes
Rattlesnake shake

Homework
Black Magic Woman
Underway
Rattlesnake Shake
Searching (and Fighting) for Madge

Stop Messin' Round

(and the list could go on & on)

From the PVK days:

Apostle (the 45 version)
In The Skies
Tribal Dance
Little Dreamer
One Woman Love
Crying Won't Get You Back
Just For You
What Am I Doin' Here

Was just going off the top of my head...had I had albums & CDs to refer to, it would've been in there.

Yes, the thread was first titled "1 favorite song" and I forgot to change the numerus.
But hey, I'm not a native speaker and the native speakers here often use sloppy grammar. Let's see your selection.

Yeah sorry Dino - I'm a congenital pedant !

Like several others ,my top five is constantly changing But much as I love his playing I have to limit it to his compositions rather than self penned blues that showcase his playing ' so :

1)Green Manalishi -fabulously intricate ,with each new guitar or guitar /bass link being a little more complex than the last almost like a classical piece of music but all within only a few minutes (difficult to play)
2)Man of the World -one of the worlds greatest blues songs that is not at all in a blues structure
3)Albatross- beautiffully simple the antithesis of Manalishi
4)Before the Beginning
5)Black Magic Woman- Even without the remarkable guitar playing a classic simple song
5a)Oh Well pt 1 (sorry! 5 is not enough! )

I have to be honest and confess that I'm not that well aquanted with his post Fleetwood Mac songs
Also thanks Dino for putting up a constructive poll unlike the other recent ones !How can a total of 8 votes be a representative sample ?
