What's your favourite song?

Post by lomuamart »

As it's playing at the moment - Led Zep 2 - "living loving"
I don't reckon much can beat that.

Lomu,

You haven't just been on a weekend break to Somalia have you?

Probably Eagles - New Kid in Town (sorry Dr Dave)

At least that is the song that whenever I listen to it, I usually have to listen to it again straight afterwards before playing the rest of the tracks!

I'm very partial to the Beatles "Here Comes The Sun". And the story is....as a young lad of 19 walking around nuke loaded B-52's in -60F weather all night, in a terrible place named Caribou, Maine..... all of us ramp rats used to key the mike on our motorolas and broadcast it base wide, as it was played on the local radio station each and every morning at dawn. Each "favorite" song MUST have a story behind it. :D Pete

In deference to Pete, a long time ago in my local pub in south London, I was pretty pissed off after having finished with a girlfriend. A friend said " give a quid for the jukebox" and put on "I am the resurrection" by The Stone Roses.
Well, my life was never the same again. Great guitar by that man, Squire.

Lomu, I think you've lived over here, or at least been here frequently. As mentioned I think to JW last night, there are Thai groups who play on Walking Street who will make you weep tears of joy with their renditions of those songs from the past. You should try another visit sometime. Give them the name of the song and they'll play it. Pete

I have just got a record player for the first time in about a decade - that's a machine that plays records not discs, so I am working my through 120 or so albums that have been in the garage for 10 years.

The best tracks I've refound so far are Modern Times by Al Stewart and Deep Purple's Black Night. The latter is resplendent on purple vinyl.

The album "In the Skies", by Peter Green - once he'd returned temporally from obsucurity and madness. Original founder of Fleetwood Mac, with Mick Fleetwood. I suppose best known for the guitar on "Albatross"
The album I still have back home is green in colour.

Black night was one I was going to mention!

But in my most mellow of moods and with great songwriters and singers in mind and also resurrecting a vinyl collection.....

If its loud, Paranoid by Black Sabbath takes some beating. Mellow, I'm into folk, in-between comes Jazz,

My favourite song, the one I cannot live without? Crucifixion, by Phil Ochs. Up there with Americas finest, Guthrie, Seeger, Dylan, Baez. But very hard to hear it good, just 2 live concerts and an A&M sample I have. :)

After he died, they added shite music to it - just ruined it.

A great man and a great songwriter.

Bonnie Raitt´s version of "I Can't Make You Love Me".
Listen to the lyrics and you will instantly know, and feel, the story behind...
