What is the Best Saxophone Song?

[radou]

One of my favourite Dire Straits songs, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSHzga_DFxs".

 

[turbo]

I was never a huge fan of Dire Straits' "You and Your Friend" until I heard their live version. Here it is. Probably Knopfler's best guitar tone ever - laid back and perfectly timed and nuanced. I can approach his tone with my rig, but I'll need a serious talent transplant before I can pull off the rest.

Watching Knopfler play is a true enjoyment.

Another great song.

For Ivan Seeking from tehno,this crazy (and brilliant) one:


But the best out of the best ,as concerns tehno's taste,are Bono Vox and his
gang (U2) .The following two songs are orgy of lyrics ,melody,and instrumental performance:

Rakim - My Melody - (Note that this is not a music video, but just the song with a bunch of images)

One of the greatest hip-hop songs of all time! Clever and complex song!

With every breath I can make, I will say that this is a really, really great song:

And now for something completely different

Yundi Li Brings Power to Liszt's Piano Concerto No.1
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=9451775

Weekend Edition Sunday, April 8, 2007 · It took Franz Liszt 26 years to compose his Concerto for Piano and Orchestra No. 1 in E flat Major.

But his long years of off-and-on composition paid off. The work, which is said to have been modeled after Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, went on to become a staple on the concert calendar.

This week, the National Symphony Orchestra gave three performances of the concerto, featuring pianist Yundi Li. Since winning first prize at the 2000 Chopin International Piano Competition in Warsaw at 18, he has become a much in-demand performer around the world.

Yundi Li performs Franz Liszt's Concerto for Piano and Orchestra No.1 in E flat major.

 

[arildno]

The music is cute, too.

I haven't followed this thread but I rate some of the songs by Simon and Garfunkel as the best ever. 'Sounds of silence' and 'Bridge over troubled waters' come to my mind. Has their songs been mentioned in this thread?

It is, however, permissible to double-mention songs in this thread.

 

[fuzzyfelt]

That's a great song!
But Faith Brown's version isn't bad, either..

I only just spotted this

A band that i have come appreciate a lot recently, is The Doors. I love their lyrics, Morrison's voice and instrumental arrangements.

I have also been a great fan of Serge Gainsbourg (French singer/songwriter). Probably he is not well known in the USA but in Europe he still is very famous. He has very beautiful lyrics, IMO :



This is probably his most famous song. I think you will all know this :




And, he was also famous for, err, his "honesty and being straightforeward"... :

#41 + Sojourn of Arjuna by Dave Matthews Band + Béla Fleck and the Flecktones. It's maybe not the best performance from DMB, but #41 is an amazingly rich song, and I'm finally starting to appreciate how awesome Béla Fleck and the Flecktones are. (Am I the only one who finds Béla's hands totally hot?) It's worth the 30 minutes.
(part 1)
(part 2)
(part 3)

Here is a recent shorter version of #41 with just Dave and Tim Reynolds.



In My Life à la Dave Matthews at "Come Together" Lennon tribute a few weeks after 9/11. It's very special, methinks.



The Stone Dave solo on Charlie Rose. This is one of my favorite performances by anyone ever.

Something from my time.

Spirit - I Got A Line On You


Spirit - Mr. Skin

Can you identify the young singer from the Spencer Davis group?

 

[moe darklight]

One of the most beautiful songs from the most beautiful album by the most beautiful band with the most beautiful haircuts to ever walk this planet:



"one day this chalk outline will circle this city" mmmmmm I am in love with their music
My favorite video out this moment. so simple... but great great great video. from a band that has been pretty lame and emo until now, but their new album is killer, out of nowhere: killer album. the song is even science related, yes, they indeed rhymed "entropy" haha yes


Amazing Zappa song, amazing video. amazing. — warning: operating a vehicle or heavy machinery after watching video is not recommended.


and last but not least...



being that gorgeous should not be legal...
... I'm told there's music to go along with her videos? ... all I know is I never thought I'd ever find a naked robot dancing inside a giant triangle attractive before.

 

[devil-fire]

for the hard rock fans, you can't miss filter's "hey man nice shot".

now that the smokes gone
and the air ways are clear
those who were right there
got a new kinda fear
you'd fight and you were right but they were just too strong
they'd stick it in your face and let you smell what they consider wrong
thats why i say hey man nice shot
what'a good shot man


for the mello fans there is peace orchestra's "the man"

there isn't much for lyrics except what sounds like a recorded phone call of a spanish guy at the end
http://www.radioblogclub.com/open/9...Peace Orchestra & Gotan Project - The Man

and "who am i" that's even more mello
http://www.radioblogclub.com/open/31210/peace_orchestra_who_am_i/Peace orchestra_who am i

another one of my favorites is left field's "swords". i could only find it on this anime video
as with all anime, this video contains graphic dismembering

My current favorite Who - Reign O'er Me

The Pearl Jam Version of the same song. Not as good in my opinion. It feels like it is meant to be more raw and grainy, but is actually more... composed.

Dio - Holy Diver

HOLLY DIVAH! mmGZEEAH!

I was reminded of this song when I heard a version of it played by a local Phoenix band Gloritone. I hadn't heard it since the 80's. I like this song. Your link seems to be dead. Here's a new one

Cemetery Gates is my favorite Pantera song.

Here's some songs I wouldn't mind singing at a karaoke bar.

Styx - Renegade

Radiohead - Creep (clean version, not my favorite version. It's almost like he was pissed at not singing the song he wanted to sing. This version lacks the spirit of the original, but what can you do.)

Chris De Burgh - Lady in Red (sue me)

The Animals - House of the Rising Sun
