Black Earl's opening songs

[LilBuster]

<p>I dig BE's song choices, almost every time. Is there a list of songs that are played every day? He has opened my eyes to somethings that I haven't been exposed to or some different things from some artists I've heard of.</p>

I second the request.&nbsp; I really like finding new music through Earl.

<p>Hey Mikey Boy-show us your super power's and get on this!&nbsp; Finally!!!&nbsp; Leonard Cohen?&nbsp; On my ipod?&nbsp; YES!</p>

[ADF]

Just ask Plethora the day before.&nbsp; He's never been wrong.<br />

[epo]

<p>Earl plays great music alot.&nbsp; The opening songs and the back from break songs are generally tremendous.&nbsp; </p><p>I dig it when Earl hits so well that Ronnie just starts singing along, like he hasn't a care in the world.</p>

[Hottub]

Let's not forget, Earl has the second largest rock library on the planet!

[FreshJ]

If earl has the second largest rock collection at his disposal, I want to know what the 1st largest is.&nbsp; Maybe we should hear another episode of the black rock coalition as I did not get to hear the first.<br />

Well, let's put our collective knowledge together and start listing here. I don't know if it will work, but if you remember one post it, if it's a new one post it. My memory for important things has been impaired through various chemicals, leaving only small bits of worthless trivia, but here's a couple of easy one's I remember. Please feel free to correct me.

Jane's Addiction-Jane Says
Living Colour-Cult of Personality
Ben Folds-Annie Waits

<p>I love Earl's songs.&nbsp; Variety, and it's all good.&nbsp; </p><p>I've been trying to figure out what that 'Puerto Rican Funk' song was.&nbsp; It was the day Jimmy Smits was in talking about Rosie Perez's movie.&nbsp; The song was great.&nbsp; </p>

I'm loving Earl's music selection as well.&nbsp; My favorite is when he plays Mr. Bob Dylan<br />

[TokeOne]

Two of my favorites were &quot;Alone Again Or&quot; by Love and &quot;Pets&quot; by Porno for Pyros, which reminded me how great that song was.

[jlehane]

Pets by PforP is great.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ELO today had Goo Idea,berry Goo !!&nbsp; Bak Wok CoRition . But really Corporate fucks like ELO should BUTT OUT of MUSIC and let Black Earl create ! If he plays 4 songs without interuption to set a mood...I guess the anal beasts of broadcast find that sacreligious because they sit on freshly sharpenned pencils.Beaners,bean counters,no creative bones ,smirky,smarmy,politically erect,Borg...oh yeah I'm a ghostwriter.&nbsp; &amp;&amp;&amp;&amp;&amp; Fix the PHONES...You Market to TRUCKERS W-e-Lo Nelson !

I'd say about 75% of the time I like the songs Earl opens the show with but there are the times where I change the channel for a few minutes.&nbsp; Thats just me though.<br />

I'm still trying to find out who does the closing theme as well as the one opener they used for a while when they came to XM (&quot;the brutha's gonna work it out). If anyone can help a &quot;budday&quot; out, it would be greatly appreciated and, if I can ever get my fat ass to a bar night, would garner you a round on me.

That U.S. Blues on Friday made my day big time. Jungle Boogie today was a good song, but I feel like its been done. I wish Earl had the time to pick a currently&nbsp;relevant song everyday. No real complaints though.&nbsp;

[davidb72]

The way Ron was talking up southern rock today I wouldn't be surprised to hear some tomorrow...<br />

<p>The first time I ever heard &quot;Crazy&quot; by Gnarls Barkley was when Earl played it&nbsp;a couple of months ago.&nbsp; That was before it hit the charts, I think.</p><p>Great song.</p>

Foo Fighters - Times Like These 7/20/06

[Snoogans]

NO TAJ MAHAL AGAIN!<br />

[JarvisCocker]

Black Earl actually turned me onto the Jim Carrol band (the Basket Ball Diaries kid).&nbsp; He played &quot;People who've died&quot;&nbsp; and I couldn't get it out of my head.&nbsp; Good shit...really.&nbsp; Otherwise, he convices me more and more&nbsp;each day that I could produce that show.&nbsp; I know nothing about radio... I really might have a shot.

[LilBuster]

Prince- &quot;Delirious&quot; 7/21/06

[LilBuster]

New York Dolls - &quot;Dance Like a Monkey&quot; I think. 7/24/06

[Enabler]

I think it may be time to ease up on all of the Earl praise. It seems pretty obvious that&nbsp;other people have an input as to what song is played for the opener. You can tell that Ron is occassionaly&nbsp;slightly irked when people call in to give earl props. Earl still knows a shitload of good music though.
