I haven't actually found my all time favorite song yet. I'm still pretty young (19) to choose just one for right now. I do have a couple that I love, but I'm all over in the different genres/styles. There is one that I cry to every time I hear it, "Over the Rainbow", it gets me everytime.

In another thread Vangelis popped up. Therefore another classic evergreen, one of his best.

Conquest of Paradise

A tribute to Lowell George by Jackson Browne. Little Feat was never the same without him...and then we lost backup singer and solo star Nicolette Larson.

A lot of the early prog Genesis songs are mindblowingly awesome! I think Genesis suffer from the reputation Collins earned the band by moving to the pop rubbish they'll end up being remembered for. Anyway, a couple of my favourite Genesis songs:

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=vJJP-MfI9ls&feature=related" The sound Steve Hackett gets from his guitar (around 4:40) is spine-tingling. Unfortunately, the piano intro is missing, and the sound quality doesn't do it justice, but still an amazing song.

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=PtzgBJ13vro" This is such a work of art, absolutely beautiful!

Probably the best guitar work I've seen, ever. Fleetwood Mac, Big Love...

I'd have to include that as well. I wanted to list one and I chose that between Echoes and Shine On You Crazy Diamond.

Echoes is awesome though. :)

I got to sing about it

All of Pinkerton, for that matter... man what an album.
What happened to Rivers Cuomo. Am I a bad person for wishing his wife dumped him and he got depressed again just so I can add one more good album to my collection?

Okay, so you don't watch idols, or other talent hunting shows. But then you will only see this in the replay:



Paul Potts first audition with Nessun Dorma.

Its f-ing SRV of course it doesn't matter. He also covered Little Wing, and personally I like his version of it better.

For really awesome punk rock covers of pop tunes check out Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies.

This is one of my favourites, a phantom of the opera cover.

From back when Fleetwood Mac was a blues band. I have every one of their recordings from these days, I think, including compilations, live concerts, etc. Note on this first song that Danny Kirwan appears to be playing Peter Green's sunburst Les Paul (now owned by Gary Moore). Green's LP had one pickup with reversed polarity, giving it a dry hollow sound when both pickups were used at once.

This next song features Jeremy Spencer on slide and vocals. He could do killer covers of Elmore James.

That was just too painful to watch. Waits is one of those guys who seem to think histrionics=feeling. As a musician for over 40 years, I cannot agree.

It's part of the image I guess. His act along with his music has gotten more and more over the top. Sometimes it's just too much but when he get's it just right it's amazing... in my opinion anyway.

Best song ever

The best song of the millenium is Stairway to Heaven and with the countdown that I listened to I have to agree with them. You can't beat that song.
