Your Song

I have for years had a song that I felt most encompassing but general to include all my encounters and endeavors to all know who care that I LOVED THEM ALL.

I can't work your majic Egg to bring up a fantastic song by none other than the Beatles............In MY Life

Let's get the day off on a good note.

George does a good job with that song, but it was actually the first hit for Hank Sr, sort of autobiographicical for him.

I'd say one of my timeless favorites would be George Thorogood and "Move it on over". That one always seemed to crank up the party to another level.

I have a couple that have been favorites for a long time,

1. Rastaman Live Up by Bob Marley

2. Univited Guest by Marillion

but really anything by Bob !!!!

Somehow I missed the Small Faces as a youth. Some great music.

Dave Mason, Delaney & Bonnie. Clapton was great on his first solo album and as Derek and the Dominoes.

But the best white blues- Rory Gallagher.

I'll be stuck on You Tube all night now!

Back in the day that there was such a thing as a b-side, my favorite was The Chrystal Ship by the Doors.

An episode of Mad men ended with a long-forgotten b-side that brought back memories (even goosebumps). I had to do a little research to identify the song, a Loving Spoonfull song my brother played endlessly.

It's weird how some otherwise unremarkable songs in the right setting can inspire emotions. I'm thinking like the closing scene of the Breakfast Club.

A recent entry into my musical world is MOBY. WOW! What awesome stuff. He's been at it 20 yrs. and I finally figured out he's worth having! Oh well, my world turns much slower now. And has been for awhile

Along w/ that I am thinking about other great albums: Freedy Johnston: Learning to fly Jethro Tull: Aqualung Stones: Sticky Fingers 1st Boston album: What the hell I was just a stoned kid. Worked for me! JC Superstar: The album NOT the soundtrack Bob Mould: Workbook Rod Stewart: Every Picture tells a Story (flush the rest of 905 his stuff/ garbage) Pink Floyd: Meddle (Whoo Hoo!) Steve Earle: Guitar Town Tommy: Even the Who could not describe it and..... Marvin Gaye: You know the one! (I don't)

and so many more I've never heard of even! Seemed like at the time this would go on forever B)

At this point I am gaining an increasing respect for Simon & Garfunkel/ Paul Simon.

Well Patty there is no doubt what I would be playing if I had my own radio station. It'd be about what you're describing.

Deep Cuts. The other stuff has been played to hell and back and modern radio sounds like an infomercial between commercials.

Check out Gilmour on YouTube. The man is a classic. An Icon. Becoming one of my all -time favorites.

Speaking of which, what happened to my past favorites? the Doors? Yes, when I was like 19-21 yrs. old. Can't stand them anymore.

Stevie Ray Vaughn? Loved him then, but some of his videos show how f/ed up and very sloppy of a player he was (think PBS). Hard to shake some of that. I'm actually coming around to Deep Purple and Blackmore lately.

Beatles are timeless.....they appeal to all ages, from children to teenyboppers to all the rest of us.

Mott the Hoople? Replacements? I've cooled on them. Ian Hunter/ Paul Westerberg's not quite the genius to me that others claim. Critics suck anyway. The Cramps were just an infatuation.

Somehow I've cooled on Bob lately too. For about the last 10 yrs. he's been my all around fave

Creedence forever! I tried listening to Captain Beyond last weekend. Ist time in a loooooooong time. I just could not get into it. Maybe I need some weed?

"Almost Famous".........I never get tired of that movie, fictional or not, it captured a moment in time that is forever gone. You GOT to own that one

I'll 2nd that Let it Be note mike. Just wonderful, emotive, deep and yet, hopeful. And George, puts in another beautiful solo (more than one version of it out there BTW). I never get tired of that song.

Oh well got to run now. I hear the 1st IV Black Sabbath albums calling me......

This thread came to mind when I read of JimB and the wonderful song that Egg presented. I didn't expect this responce and I love it. Some great stuff mentioned here. Nothing to do with being a favorite but I saw the Bangladesh Concert Dec 1974 Radio City Music Hall George Harrison, Billy Preston and of course Leon Russell. Excellent.

A few months ago I was on Itunes for radio. Classic Rock...Zenith Classic Rock....out of SouthEast Ireland. This station plays the back tracks of everyone you know and love and forgotten about. You won't like it all but will have a few OMG moments of....haven't heard it in (no longer years) decades . If you enjoy Pink Floyd they have the Floydian Slip every Tuesday. You will hear the old classics but also some bands that didn't quite make it but you may be familiar with.

I don't know about you but as I get older I hear music differently, I realize now there are a lot of lyrics I ignored, I mean ignored, I liked, loved a song by the beat, rythem and musical theme. I sang the words but never heard them. When does this AGE of discovery end? Personally I hope never.

Keep on listening to the music, Whatever your pleasure. PC

"Jumpin' Jack Flash" from concert for Bangladesh :cheer:

Tightrope from the Carney LP.One of my favorite Rusell compositions." the Top Hat On My Head Is All You See". B) :) :) B) Deep Down In Florida Where The Sun Shines Damn Near Every Day

I have been a long time Leon Russel fan. I have a daughter whose name was influenced by one of his songs (Sweet Emily). What I like most is his arrangements for some of the supergroups he was in. Something in the way she moves with Joe Cocker actually bests George Harrison on one of Harrisons' best songs.

Two of my favorites, from Leon:

Sometimes I can get lost in You Tube and not get my work done.

"I'm a gonna raise me some dental floss." One of the great lines.

A while back there was a survey of music industry know-it-alls of the best song of all time, and the winner was.........In my life. They liked the catchy guitar hook, the subtle minor chord insertion and the harpsichord solo.

My favorite is whatever song I'm working on last, my feeble mind can only contain about three at a time. The last one I learned was Long Black Veil, now I'm moving on to Gimme Shelter.
