the good song thread

[hooked]

"Angie" by the Stones always gives a chill. Not my favorite song but if it comes on i shut the fuck up and listen.

[dumpy]

You have got to be fucking kidding me

Kickass newer song from The Smithereens. Video's kinda overproduced but the song rocks.

I thought that was a Jimmy Buffet tune. No?

[Meadow Skipper]

Excuse the piggyback post, but the Smithereens rock. I was working out in the yard today when this one came on:


Those lyrics always spoke to me.

[iceman]

I think me and Meadow Skipper might be soulmates. Here's one from the Joe files (Alex Chilton at age 17, wtf?!? Genius.):



And this one, no video, just listen to the song:

[Hutch]

Can you imagine asking Chilton to lip sync? Was that Ed Sullivan?

Edited to add:

[iceman]

Such a great song: Vocal's really forward in the mix though. It needs to be back a bit.

Time has not been kind to Patti, though, yikes:

[Marshall Tucker]

I wake up screaming like I'm back over there

For years I've sung "I got it screened like tobacco over there"

[Marshall Tucker]

OK, to the OP these have been cranked for 30-35 years, never skipped

Train Train Blackfoot
Lick & a promise Aerosmith
Baker Street Gerry Rafterty
Blinded by the LIght Manfred Mann
The Chain Fleetwood Mac

LOVE lowell George Thrill, thx for providing. Rock & Roll Doctor has been on the short list for a very, very long time.

And of course the obiligatory

Can't you see!

Aiiight - if we're down to "Songs that I love and will always listen to" then here are a few of mine:



Song starts at 0:50...

[Meadow Skipper]

I think me and Meadow Skipper might be soulmates.

As far as music goes anyway.

So you like Alex Chilton? Here's a Good Song:


Feel like a hundred bucks...

[butterscotch]

I was shuffling through my music library when this came on:


went back and listened to the whole album.

+1 for sly and the family. has anyone ever been as awesome while wearing a sequined cowboy hat?

[Sullywhacker]

It's the closest I could get to the version from Where We All Belong

[skinny_kid]

[Danno]

Blinded by the LIght Manfred Mann

yeah, no.

[From_the_NEK]

The local college radio station has had this song on rotation all summer. I caught it at lunchtime today:

[Tippster]

yeah, no.

Actually, Yes. Springsteen may have written it but Manfred Mann made it a hit - kinda like Hendrix owning Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower."

Can't call it "good" by any means but Foster the People's "Pumped Up Kicks " is totally stuck in my head today.

Gotta disagree. Comparing a cheesed up cover of this , from a classic rock album, to the best cover song of all time, well, I disagree.

You really think this is better?

[brice618]

and hendrix didn't make all along the watch tower a hit, he just made it perfect. sort of like stevie ray did with little wing and voodoo chile

obviously thats just my opinion, and one i know isn't the most popular one.
