Music Thread: Best Songs? This Should Be Easy!
[Garrett's camping Crocs]
Well, this one is sort of a cheat, because I'll be damned if I knew any of their other stuff until I had the idea for this post. And after exhaustive research, yes, Let Your Love Flow by The Bellamy Brothers is in fact their best song!
I am always surprised when seemingly rational people have a visceral reaction to The Rolling Stones. Are they the greatest band ever? Eh. No. But they have been around for a very long time and have produced probably 20 absolutely fantastic songs that have stood the test of time. And this is the best one! Gimme Shelter by The Rolling Stones
Speaking of surprises...I was surprised when I learned how many of The Beach Boys songs were covers! That's not a criticism, because I love covers, and am fascinated by how different the same song can be when played by different people. And yes, Sloop John B by The Beach Boys is a cover, and a great song.
I remember listening to Quadrophenia and Tommy and being blown away by how wonderful the long form can be. Love, Reign O'er Me, by The Who is a keeper, and if not their best, it's in the top five!
10,000 songs, and I have discovered that I like about five of them. But Ripple, by The Grateful Dead is a great song, and one that was my entree into their music.
Great group. Maybe less known now than in their heyday, and Cotton Fields by Creedence Clearwater Revival is one of their less well known songs, but also fantastic.
Most of you have never heard much Southside Johnny, and some who have lump them in with New Jersey's better known but far less genuine rockers (Springsteen and Bon Jovi). Trapped Again by Southside Johnny And The Asbury Jukes is a classic, loads of fun, and displays a startling musicianship.
That's my current list, so have at it!

However, almost all of them are great earworms (to me), and that somehow at least qualifies them as "good" music in my pathetic Idiot mind.

It's on the Voyager disk, next to one of Bach's Brandenburg Concertos.
I always imagine the Bach's immortal Third Brandenburg playing as Vee-ger falls into the gravity well of Neptune.
And then it comes blowing out of the darkness of it's final planetary slingshot...

Back then, I thought myself too cool to enjoy the BeeGees. I was in the Disco Sucks crowd, and was pretty wedded to my reputation. I was a stupid teenager.
Sometime in the 80s, I heard an interview with Alice Cooper, and he was praising the BeeGees. I decided if Alice Cooper could admit loving the BeeGees, then I could, too.

Although not well known, I would argue his "Tennessee Kid" is probably the most bad-ass song ever written. Takes a couple listens to really soak it al in.

There's a box set with just vocal and instrumental tracks, many of which have snippets of the various takes that were made.
The vocals-only track of Wouldn't It Be Nice, with the harmony vocals of the first two lines of the second verse is perhaps their masterpiece. You can barely hear it (and can't really appreciate it) in the release version.

Posted by: Don Black at March 01, 2025 08:58 PM (AOsQT)
But there are plenty of songs that I'm perfectly happy to listen to again even if I've heard 'em a zillion times.
A lot of Motown, a lot of The Association's stuff, a lot of Sinatra particularly his collaborations with Antonio Carlos Jobim, a lot of Nancy Lamott, Vivaldi's Four Seasons, Chopin's Nocturnes, a lot of Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66 (can't remember Lani Hall singing anything I didn't enjoy). Lot of Simon & Garfunkel (and AG's solo album Breakaway has some lovely stuff on it). Johnny Rivers, Roy Orbison, Dell Shannon... Someone mentioned Stephen Stills' Change Partners -- a nice one, but the Stills that really worked for me (think it's on the same album) was To A Flame. YMMV.
And the best cover I ever heard of any song was Michelle Martin singing The Youngbloods' 'Get Together' at a demonstration in the Carlinville Illinois town square in '68 or '69. Wonder what ever happened to her.

There is a Christian band (WhiteHeart) that had a great album in the late 80s; Freedom. A song called 'I'll Meet You There' is the best song.

They had a couple of hits, but the problem was that they kept changing formats and styles, and then went symphonic
I really liked Simple Sister, far more than Conquistador

The Fourth of July performance of the 1812 Overture at the Riverside Park in Independence OR in 1975 (?) featured the Reconstituted Monmouth-Independence City Band and two howitzers from the Oregon National Guard Arty unit. I discovered two things that night: Arty units can't read sheet music, and the concussion of multiple cannon firing at the same time, even with blanks, was enough to blow out the electrical system of the park.
All in all it was a gloriously poorly considered move,

Interestingly, I replaced the subwoofer in the old Lincoln, today. I had to. The "system" is designed to work with a sub or the speakers sound like tin cans with strings.
Lots of junkyards all over the country sell parts on ebay, so I replaced a 24 year old subwoofer with...a 24 year old subwoofer.
I should've just "repaired" the speaker with a foam ring replacement. Oh well...

"Blackest Eyes." But they've got too dang many good songs.
Ghost of Perdition - Opeth
Hessian Peel? Coil? Porcelain Heart? I really like the "Watershed" album. Their non-metal stuff on "Damnation" is good too.
The Count of Tuscany - Dream Theater
Again with the too many choices. I cheated above and said "Scenes From a Memory." A concept album counts as one song, right?
Selling England by the Pound - Genesis

ASBNH was the first PT song I heard. They have soooo many good songs.
With Opeth I would also put Blackwater Park (which they have never played the 4 times I saw them), River and Voice of Treason are good
DT - again so many good songs. Just saw them play in San Antonio and the played Octavarium and Home which are favorites of mine
Genesis - so many again, Suppers Ready, The Musical Box and more. Firth of Fifth on Seconds Out is a favorite to listen to.

Les Miz and Phantom really felt like the 'Big Two' musicals back when I was in high school. I think my favorites of the shows would be "On My Own' from Les Miz and the main "Phantom of the Opera" song from Phantom.
From Sarah Brightman, I like the somewhat-recent "Fleurs Du Mal."

No. More classic metal. there is a difference, according to metal-heads. Some guy actually did a very complicated flow chart of what kind of metal is what. You have metal, thrash metal, black metal, death metal, Nu metal (posers), and so on. And there are the European metal genres (Norwegian is different than Swedish and German). it's a weird world.
