|
|
I may have posted this question before but who cares? Everybody likes music, right? I am wondering if one song sticks out over many years, 20 years or more for me, at least.
I'll go with with Dylan's "Mr Tambourine Man"
To hear it once or twice a year is OK. I cannot think of another song that has kicked me as much, though there may be a few.
That one has a place in my head I guess, for some reason. |

Hard to say, it largely depends on the context, I like a lot of different music for a lot of different reasons at a lot of different times.
The first time I heard Penderecki's "Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima" completely blew my mind and changed the way I thought about modern musical techniques. I've only listened to it maybe three times in the past ten years. It's an amazing piece of work:

You think that's whacky, try John Cage's "As Slow as Possible" (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/2728595.stm) or anything by Xenakis. Music isn't limited to your interpretation of the term. Why is everyone so bloody stuck in the Romantic Era? |

While I MIGHT be able to choose only one album as my favorite of all time, I couldn't choose one song as my favorite. A top ten list maybe, but even that would be hard.
Off the top of my head, it's quite possibly one of these:
Layla - Derek and the Dominoes
Like a Rolling Stone - Dylan
Gimme Shelter - the Stones
Little Wing - SRV
All Along the Watchtower, Voodoo Chile - Hendrix
King for a Day - Faith No More
Grace - Jeff Buckley (Today it's probably this one. That's the point - it's always changing)
No Woman No Cry - Bob Marley
Find the River - R.E.M.
We Can Work it Out - the Beatles
Back on the Chain Gang - Pretenders
You Make Lovin' Fun - Fleetwood Mac
London Calling - the Clash
Still in Hollywood - Concrete Blonde
Taboo - Santana
Locked in the Trunk of a Car - the Hip
The Girl Who Lives on Heaven Hill, I'll Never Forget You - Husker Du
There are probably ten or twenty other possibles that don't come to mind right now. |

This thread got me back into "listening" to Crass. Lovely band that they are.
I urge every Christian to listen to "Reality Asylum" by Crass. It's available on YouTube. It should be listend to with the lights off and the volume turned to the max; that's the only way to appreciate such a classic number. Lights off and volume off.

Don't know what you mean about being stuck in the romantic era......I would have replied sooner but i was too busy listening to beethoven's 9th symphony  |

Too close to call - it's a tie between K626 and "Comfortably Numb" (from Delicate Sound of Thunder). |
