Bronx33 · 09-29-2006, 11:37 PM

Freebird.

BroncoBuff · 10-02-2006, 08:50 AM

The absolute #1 bestest song ever? Just ONE?

"You're Still the One" - Shania Twain

Old Dude · 10-02-2006, 11:09 AM

If I did that, you'd all laugh at me for being a schmuck.

(Most of my favorites are from Broadway musicals.)

Old Dude · 10-02-2006, 11:10 AM

Journey-Open Arms...certainly one of the best ballads of all time...

BroncoBuff · 10-04-2006, 05:32 AM

Dom, we have some very parallel favorites:

Lightning Crashes - Live ABSOLUTELY. Still don't know what that doctor was trying to hide by closing the door, though ... I have a live version that will slay you, Dom. I'll e-mail it

Father and Son - Cat Stevens Poignant and moving no doubt- better than 'Cats in the Cradle'

With Arms Wide Open - Creed (Go ahead - mock me!) Nahhh ... but I will mock you for Dan Fogelberg though.... :
Leader of the Band - Dan Fogelberg

The Rain Song - Led Zeppelin
Black - Pearl Jam "The Rain Song" and "Black" are both incomparable. Both in my Top 5.

Another Brick in the Wall - Pink Floyd (Actually, that's not a great choice. There is a lot of Pink Floyd that could be on the list.)
Synchronicity II - The Police - "Invisible Sun" works for me

Nghtswimming - REM Right on

I'll add "Strange Currencies" and "Tongue"

Sympathy for the Devil - Rolling Stones Not a "favorite" per se - but a MEGA-Classic

Building a Mystery - Sarah McLachlan
Sweet Surrender - Sarah McLachlan voice of an angel

Mad World - Tears for Fears OK, but how about "Woman in Chains"?

One - U2

DEFINITELY! Add Metallica's "One," and I have two Ones on my list

With or Without You - U2 Too many U2 songs to list for me. Like Zeppelin and the Beatles

In My Room - Yaz You mean "Beach Boys", right?

Midnight - Yaz If you get a chance, e-mail me these Yaz tunes - I don't even know who they are.

BroncoBuff List:

Whiter Shade of Pale - Procol Harem
Tongue - REM
Neon Moon - Brooks & Dunn
Fell On Black Days - Soundgarden
People Get Ready - Rod Stewart & Jeff Beck
Tammy's in Love - Debbie Reynolds. No, I am not joking
One - Metallica
God Only Knows - Beach Boys (at least until HBO's "Big Love" started using it)
The Warmth of the Sun - Beach Boys
Don't Worry Baby - Beach Boys
Harbor Lights - Boz Scaggs
Theme from "Valley of the Dolls" - Dionne Warwick
You're Still the One - Shania Twain
Sunrise, Sunset - Soundtrack to 'Fiddler on the Roof' (for Old Dude

)
Black - Pearl Jam
Lightning Crashes - Live
Invisible Sun - The Police
The Ecology - Marvin Gaye
Miami My Amy - The late (and very great) Keith Whitley
Secret Love - Doris Day No, I am NOT joking. And stop asking me that.
Fly to the Angels - Slaughter
Woman in Chains - Tears for Fears
Dreams (I'll Never See) - ORIGINAL by Allman Brothers. Molly Hatchet's cover is awesome, too
Hunger Strike - Temple of the Dog
* The Rain Song - Led Zeppelin
* One - U2

* Like Woody Allen and David Mamet movies, U2 and Led Zeppelin are excluded from my rankings. There are too many great ones to compare them - and they would exclude others that belong there. So just ONE EACH from Zeppelin and U2.

BroncoBuff · 10-04-2006, 05:51 AM

I think "Tongue" might actually be just a cutesie REM blue-eyed soul ditty - maybe even a 'tongue-in-cheek' satire. After all, Stipe's falsetto sounds a little over the top. But I love the crisp organ and piano, and the soulful arrangement.

Another song moving up on my list - a newer song by Heart called "Lost Angel" on their Jupiter's Darling LP.

I used to be really big into the Doors, too, until I hit mid-life crisis.

The Fillmore album was my favorite record when I was, like, 14 years old.

I used to wait until the folks were gone, slap that bad boy on the turntable, and crank it to 11.

Steve Marriott's (RIP) vocals never failed to give me goose bumps, and Frampton was my #1 guitar hero when I was just starting out on the instrument.
