Besides the Stones, and the obvious Alice Cooper "I'm Eighteen", any other appropriate suggestions?

Stones:

"Stray Cat Blues"

Kidding, kidding. Couldn't resist...

Off the top of my head, and mostly because I can somehow imagine 18 year olds enjoying them:

"Just My Imagination"
"Time Is On My Side"
"Waiting On A Friend"
"Emotional Rescue"
"She's So Cold"
"Get Off My Cloud"
"Honky Tonk Women"
"You Can't Catch Me"
"Mona"
"Far Away Eyes"
"Fingerprint File"
"Ruby Tuesday"
"Factory Girl"
"Can't You Hear Me Knockin'"
"I'm Alright"
"Shattered"

Others:

Neil Young: "Sugar Mountain" (and maybe Joni Mitchell's reply: "The Circle Game")
"Old Man"
Heart Of Gold"
"Cinnamon Girl"
"Pocahontas"
"Comes A Time"

Grateful Dead:

"Box of Rain"
"Uncle John's Band"
"Ripple/Brokedown Palace"
"China Cat Sunflower->I Know You Rider" (Europe '72)

Dylan:

"Tangled Up In Blue"
Buckets of Rain"
"Like A Rolling Stone"
"Don't Think Twice, It's Alright"
"Bob Dylan's Blues"
"Mr. Tambourine Man" (the Byrds' version would be great, too)

I don't know...I guess those are some songs that my friends and I listened to a lot when we were 18. I turned 18 in '88, so I tend to think that that stuff holds up well no matter what one's generation. Good luck.

You might want to get a few suggestions from your daughter and her friends; remember, these kids were six years old when 2000 hit, and our music suggestions from the 1960's-1990's might not go over as well as we might think!

"Mr. Chelskeith, what's with this old fogie music; there's no auto-tuned vocals or trance drums or Glee-style group harmonies or synthesizers or badly overwrought dancefloor pop!"

Stones:
Hot Stuff
Fingerprint File
Bitch
Shattered

Iggy Pop:
Lust For Life

...& The Stooges:
Raw Power

Sly & The Family Stone:
Fun!
Love City

Stevie Wonder:
Happy Birthday (duh)

Led Zeppelin:
Dancing Days
Trampled Underfoot

Bob Marley:
Sun Is Shining
Lively Up Yourself

you get my drift... dancing days! But I'm with winter, I remember compiling a David Bowie mix tape to a teenager, and what do you know, the couple Let's Dance-songs that only barely made it got the best reaction.

Just pick some good music from any band...you love it even if you're eighteen...My son 18 have just had a Frank Sinatra era...had something to do with watching this 'Soprano'-box over and over again...

2 1 2 0

OK, up at four, lots to get organized and this is on the top of my list and its coming together with your help.

First off, she is where I go for new music, she turned me on to Modest Mouse several years ago and I realized there was actually some decent music made post Stones, haha

This is about turning her and her friends on to "The kind"... and it now seems like it will be a 2CD set, 1 Stones and 1 other misc

OTHER MUSIC
Dancing Days- Led Zep
Lust for Life - Iggy Pop
Comes a time- Neil Young
Heart of gold -Neil Young
Old man- Neil Young (probably need to drop one Neil as 3 is too much)
Like a Rolling Stone- Dylan




2000 Light years from home- Stones FIRST SONG to celebrate her independence
You Cant catch me
Fingerprint File
Time is on my side
Before they make me run
19th Nervous Breakdown - Stones Last song on CD for sure, LOL

I have to go listen to some of the ones you suggested that I dont know, and keep em coming please!!

Thanks

Just buy her the bible, and leave us alone

Put on JETHRO TULL"s Thick as a Brick Album because with a room full of 18 yr old girls
no one will ever listen..

Too much talking to care what is playing...hahah.

The End by The Doors. or, you could save that for her wedding day

Knowing what 18 year olds would want to hear is problematic. I think "I'm 18" by Alice Cooper is a great song, but I bet it would just be tolerated as a cute gesture by kids today.

If you want to pick an old song, play this:





Everybody loves that song.

Here's a snippet of him doing in at the RnR HoF ceremony, that aired last week. What's missing is the shot of Catherine Zeta-Jones just digging it and rocking out. (Kind of spastically, but that's another matter )

I love the part where Neil has Bruce sing...

Its all over now.Stones. Good luck getting a job.
