Rolling Stones - Emotional Rescue
Rolling Stones - Undercover
Queen - News Of The World
Alec R. Costandinos - Winds Of Change

"Squeeze Box" The Who
"Going to California" Led Zeppelin
"surrender" Cheap Trick
"Brown Eyed Girl" Van Morrison
"Changed in Attitudes" Jimmy Buffet

I'm sure there are more but I can't think of them right now.

 

[Mimi]

Wow, TOO many. Many of the 70's soft rock stuff...songs from artists like Billy Joel, Elton John, 10cc, ELO, Paul Davis, England Dan and John Ford Copely, etc...and a few 80's tunes, primarily hair band stuff.

Two songs I currently can not stop listening to though are "Fly From The Inside" by Shinedown, and "How You Remind Me" by Nickelback. Actually, I've been addicted to HYRM for about two years now, and I think I've come to the conclusion that it is THE perfect rock song. Well, perfect in terms of my taste in music anyway...lol. I've probably listened to the song in excess of 10,000 times by now, and I still love it every bit as much as I did when it first came out. Amazing. 😀

[the_Baron]

[Mitchell]

"Dancing In The Moonlight" by King Harvest, from 1973. I love that song!

"Oh Very Young" by Cat Stevens- I have Kurch to thank for helping me locate who sang that one. Always liked it, never knew who it was by.

"Boys of Summer"-Don Henley. Heard it at a Mets game in 1985, had it for years-great song.

Those are three of my top ones that I can think of off the top of my head. I'll post again if any others come to mind.

[Knox The Hatter]

I hate having to listen to the same song over and over. Sorry.
However, after forty years, I have never, ever grown tired of the single version of the Beach Boys' "Help Me Rhonda".
What I like is when I discover the greatness in a song that never struck me before. It might have always been around, but I never paid much attention, until one opportune time when the epiphany hits. This happened recently with S&G's "Bridge Over Troubled Water." A great song, a great record.

 

[red indian]

Lets have a butchers.......

....."Blues Etude" by Oscar Peterson, probably the best reason you could find for not bothering to try and learn the piano.

....."Deacon Blue" by Steely Dan, bitter sweet lyrics with music to match. Makes you feel like contemplating your own navel, and then hating yourself for being so vain.


..... "Quintessence" by Quincy Jones featuring a glittering, eloquent and profound sax solo by Phil Woods, which always reminds me of great speeches such as Martin Luther King,s " I have a dream" or "The Getysburg Address"


....."I do it for your love" played by Bill Evans, just a few weeks before his death, total command of the instrument, used to communicate peace, love, harmony and all things uplifting and spiritual.


......"Cute" played by Les Mcann on the album "Les Mcann limited" I love the way they use the natural 2 bar gaps in the tune to clown about and annouce themselves, without losing the beat! I also love the saloon bar door creaking open and shut in the background. Probably the most powerfull description to (when i first heard it) young ears, to make me understand what jazz was about.

 

[General Zod]

Baker Street by Jerry Raferty
Still the same-Bob Seager
One of these days-Pink Floyd
My little town-Paul Simon
Show me the way-Peter Frampton

 

[Mimi]

Oh god yes, gen! I forgot about "Baker Street"....another of my favorites I could listen to over and over and over.
