5 Favourite Edits (not remixes)

Charlie Daniels Band - The Devil Went Down to Georgia (Son of a bitch -> son of a gun, totally changing the meaning)

Top 5 songs about other musicians
 
Not really what I meant by edits, but wow, impressive you managed to do that.

Anyway, this is songs about musicians but not necessarily any one musicians in particular.

Jay-Z - Takeover
Amy Winehouse - Halftime
LCD Soundsystem - Losing My Edge
Arctic Moneys - Teddy Picker
LCD Soundsystem - Daft Punk is Playing at My House

On a similar note, 5 songs about music.

Elton John - Your Song
The Rolling Stones - It's Only Rock and Roll
John Paul Young - I Hate the Music
The Who - Pure and Easy


Top 5 songs from any self titled album
 
Perhaps I should have pluralised "self titled album". Just to clarify, they can be five songs from any five albums which were self titled. Of course I do not expect anyone to choose five songs from one specific self titled album.
 
Garageland - The Clash : The Clash
What Goes On - The Velvet Underground : The Velvet Underground
Im a Man - Bo Diddley : Bo Diddley
Reel around The Fountain - The Smiths : The Smiths
Judy is a Punk - The Ramones : The Ramones


Top 5 from a bands "difficult" 2nd Album
(The 2nd album is often classed as being the most difficult to make. The point is often made that artists have their whole life to write their first album and then have to bash out the second in a few months.)
 
Top 5 posthumous albums

Top five "unknown" songs by great artists. By that I mean: was never a single, probably near the back of the album, no airplay, most people regard it as "filler", but that you think is right up there with the best they ever made.
