OT: Your Favorite Song of All-Time

After last week's favorite book segment, I figured I might as well start another one given how successful it was. I think these kind of OT threads are very good for two reasons: 1) it provides us with something to do as the Rangers fall out of contention and 2) it allows the LSB community to better connect to an extent.
This question isn't asking you what you think is the best song of all-time, but rather what is your favorite song of all-time? What song really connects with you? It's hard to just name one so I think everyone should be allowed to name 2-3 if they want.
Also, what would be pretty sick is if each person provided youtube links to their songs so others can click and listen if they haven't heard of the song before. Or maybe there are great live versions that you want to share with LSB that are available on youtube.
Here are mine:
Aerosmith - Dream On
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNzEQ8hG1zA
Neil Young - Heart of Gold (this live version is awesome)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7M1Se-p7uk
The Cure - Love Song

Tupac - I Get Around

Blueprint is gold
But my god is Kingdom Come bad. The thing hip hop usually has in its favor (at least to me) is that I’m addicted short term. I listened to that album once and I was done. Even the Dre tunes couldn’t save it.
Blueprint however, is gold. I hear he’s working on Blueprint 3? Hard to imagine that lives up to its title (That that 2.0 did either).

Besides classical all my favorite songs are from the Beatles, shocking as that may seem.
- A Day in the Life and Dear Prudence are two Beatles songs that for me encapsulate what made them so great. Two very simple songs that were transformed by the finishing work they did together in the studio.
- my favorite video is this cut of Yer Blues from the Stones’ never released Rock and Roll Circus. Backing up Lennon are Eric Clapton, Keith Richards on bass, and Mitch Mitchell from the Jimi Henrix Experience on drums.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vC1CcXvNIJI
- I think that Here, There, and Everywhere is relatively unknown and one of the most beautiful things McCartney wrote.

The mention of Ric Flair in the game day thread...
…got me thinking about my vague recollections that Flair had a rivalry with the Von Erichs, which got me looking at that on Wikipedia.
Up thru about age 14, I was a big wrestling fan. So was my wife, as it turns out. She was watching the same shows from the Sportatorium in Dallas on TV while she lived in Bryan that I was watching in Fort Worth. We were discussing The Fabulous Freebirds, Gentleman Chris Adams, the Von Erichs, and how so many of the wrestlers of that era (early-80s) died prematurely.

I also have a weakness for “Win in the End” by Mark Safan. It’s the song they play during Teen Wolf when Michael J. Fox leads his team to (Spoiler Alert!) victory despite not doing the transformation during Teen Wolf. It just pumps you up hearing it. It ALMOST makes you believe a team with Marty McFly and a guy named Chubby could really pull it off.

I have it on vinyl ...
… in fact just about everything I have from the Beatles is on vinyl, my mom gave most of them to me, and though some were in terrible condition, others were good. My nephews came over the other day and I was putting an album back in its sleeve, and they asked what it was … they had no idea what a record was. I played it for them and I thought their eyes were going to pop out of their little sockets, they couldn’t believe sound was coming out of something bigger than an mp3 player. I imagine it looked rather archaic to them. I wonder what would happen if I brought out a cassette tape. I think I have a few of those somewhere still.

I can imagine their surprise. I used to play some of my dad’s and grandparents’ 75s when I was a kid and I remember thinking wow, these suck.
For some reason, our turntable had a 16 RPM selection on it in addition to 33, 45, and 78. I used to put the 78s on 16 and laugh. It’s easy to amuse yourself in this way when you’re 6 or 7, and Shaving Cream sounded damn funny even if I had no idea what the song was really about.

Martha Argerich is wonderful. I found her performance of Rachmaninoff’s 3rd
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LY4kojG0tQk
bur not the Variations. BTW I’ve gotten huge mileage out of Variations. Learned the faux full orchestra arrangement to be played on one piano, from Alex Ortega (I believe he was Peruvian) after his 1959 concert in New Orleans. Every time I’ve played it, I’ve been paid, laid, or raided The key to sounding like a full orchestra is substitution of 83-note runs for the 64-note tonality. And using bass notes like a 16 gauge tympani. Not easy!
Start this at the 6:20 mark. Enjoy

Fair enough.
You are entitled to your opinion, as I am mine.
That said, I guess we can just agree to disagree.
I sort of liked Nickelback before I saw them live for the first time, and they seriously put on the best show I’ve ever seen, which instantly made them my new favorite band (which was about 5 years ago). They’re so much better live than on an album, but for those who don’t like them, I don’t suppose seeing them live would change your mind. Either way, that’s why they are my favorite band, because they take their music to a totally different dynamic when they play it live, and because I think they are much better than the overplayed songs that the radio constantly throws in the public’s face would suggest.

I continue to believe that his best song is the one that he never completed and that was “Grow old with me” (you can listen to the demos on youtube). When the 3 remaining Beatles reunited in the 90’s they thought about recording that track but couldn’t do it because Lennon never grew old..

Just Like Starting Over
is vastly overrated mainly because it was some of Lennon’s last work.
If you look closely at the body of Lennon’s work and how many great songs he wrote, JLSO was a huge steaming pile of shit.

The difference is I don’t give a shit about your opinion of the song or anyone else’s. It doesn’t affect a thing for me.

Heh.
And after rereading this little exchange, I’m struck by the observation that perhaps the least offensive line of insult is that attacking musical taste. I get that Josey wants to do what he can against me, and I think it’s cute and all, but good Christ—can’t you at least go after my family or appearance or something that would cause me to even approach “offended”?
Finally, why would I overrate a song because it was among Lennon’s last work? I wasn’t alive for any of his work, so I have the luxury of listening to everything on its merits, with context being a distant second. But, I realize that’s not the point of the post. Ah well, just the lovable grumblings of a cowardly old man.

Lennon
would not have praised that song much either. He thought of most of his songs as simple statements of how he felt at the time and poo-pooed attempts at this kind of discussion. JLSO is just a simple rock ballad, nothing more.

As I recall
JLSO was the first snippet of music the public heard from Lennon in 5 years and they were just happy to hear anything and after he was killed there was a big tendency to overrate his last effort.

I agree with that
As one of his biggest fans I’m disappointed at a lot of his solo efforts. It’s nice that he worked through a lot of his personal issues and wrote songs about it I guess, but I wish he’d done more Revolution or Don’t Let Me Down type rockers post-Beatles.
And you have to be amazed at the serendipity of the Beatles connecting with George Martin and Geoff Emerick, their producer and recording engineer. All of the ex-Beatles’ solo efforts suffered from a lack of that chemistry with each other and their technicians. Chemistry is much more important in music than in sports.

Agreed about chemistry and a lot of it
would also seem to be that some composers have a finite period in their lives where they can write good music. It’s almost like some of these rock stars are like jocks and hit the wall when they’re forty years old.
I love the Stones but you have to fight thru a whole lot to find good songs on just about everything the Glimmer Twins have written post “Tattoo You ”).

But he
Didn’t even want Revolution to be a rocker.

Which supports my statement
about the chemistry. He was wrong about both Revolution and Help, which he wanted to record in a very slow, maudlin way. It’s why much of his solo stuff suffers in comparison. Same thing with McCartney. Both men were genius songwriters, but given too much free reign and left without a partner they respect, their work suffered.

Solo Years
I tend to disagree. John Lennon became a different musician when he left the Beatles. From the Rubber Soul era until Abbey Road he was a rocker. But when he left the Beatles he became more of a unique musician especially off his first two albums. The song “God” never gets the credit that it deserves. Another great track was “love”. The Imagine album had songs like Gimme Some Truth, Jealous Guy and How do you sleep (A song in which John and George Harrison disparages Paul) and of course the title track. Rolling Stone Magazine listed Lennon twice on the fifty greatest artists of all time for his solo work and as a member of the Beatles. Beatles were of course ranked # 1. I always thought he had the best solo stuff out of all the Beatles. As George Carlin once said the wrong two Beatles died first.
by Monkey Brain on Sep 2, 2008 1:24 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Lennon was never "just" a rocker
The time period you highlight included some very introspective material like Julia, Tomorrow Never Knows, Good Night.
As I said above in reply to Josey, the difference is in the collaborators. I’d agree he had the best solo career, with Paul being more commercial, though you could say that’s exactly what Paul wanted. But great as some of his solo stuff is, at times it’s just too self-pitying and confessional. A song like Gimme Some Truth or Mother is too overt, and in a way then, less successful than something a little more understated in its subject material like Norwegian Wood or Strawberry Fields.
While each of the Beatles could have been successful on their own, none would be legendary if they had never met. Their chemistry and combined talent made them more than the sum of their parts.

You mean besides "God Blessed Texas" by Little Texas and "Texas", by Chris Rea, right?
Cause any Rangers fan who doesn’t list those two songs 1-2 needs to go here and set up shop, ya freaking traitor.
But, seriously, off the top of yo’ head is the only way to do this cause otherwise you’d overthink it and never be able to pick just a handful of songs. But here we go:
No Cars Go and Rebellion (Lies) by the Arcade Fire.
Stacked Crooked by the New Pornographers.
Tyler, by the Toadies (cause growing up and discovering music as a DFW kid was fun!).
Where did You Sleep Last Night?, a Leadbelly cover done live by Nirvana.
And Paranoid by the Green and Yellow TV. (You have to select it from the player in the upper right hand corner of the screen.)
Leif Erikson by Interpol.
Here’s You Future, by the Thermals. (Should start automatically, but if not you have to select it from the player.)
And there are prolly a billion others if I actually took the time and/or consulted my iTunes. But that’s it off the top of my purty little man head.

Interpol
The first Interpol record makes me feel like crying. It was on everywhere when I first moved to New York, even more than the Strokes. I’m dispassionate about the band except for the memories.
Related question: does anyone notice the effect of intellectually remembering a difficult time – but feeling like it was wonderful – when hearing a song from then?

Antics...
You know, the Ian Curtis comparisons beat me to death because it is only the fans and reviewers that have tried their best to make us feel like Interpol is the second coming of Joy Division. Personally, their sounds are way too different as bands for me buy into it. What pisses me off is the overpowering insistence. Sure, Paul Banks is monotone like Ian was, but that doesn’t make Interpol a Warsaw cover band.
Listen to the subtlety of of the drum work on Not Even Jail, or the vivid journey of competing sounds the guitars and bass create on Take Me On A Cruise. If anything, I think Banks was less monotone on Antics than Turn On The Bright Lights. To me, at times, he started to sound Michael Stipe-ish even.

Sorry, I guess I shouldn’t have been so vague. Only the Built to Spill and Modest Mouse albums came out when I was in high school. Although technically “Circa 1762” was officially released when I was in high school as a part of the re-issue of Slanted and Enchanted.

Hard to do
Hence why I went with albums. It’s hard enough to do that, much less pick a particular song. But I’ll try anyways
Bob Dylan – Tangled Up in Blue
Neil Young – After The Gold Rush
Bruce Springsteen – Jungleland or Rosalita. Seeing Jungleland live a few months ago was one of my favorite concert moments. If you check out one of my links make it Rosalita, their energy back in the day was off the charts.
The Beatles – Dear Prudence

But it’s also got to include bootlegs and session tapes. For me, it begins and ends with the New York sessions of “Blood on the Tracks”.

While I’d be willing to have that discussion anyday, I have a feeling it would be “too niche” to warrant an entire diary. Whenever someone gives me the “Dylan can’t sing” response I always play a few tracks from Rolling Thunder Revue or Nashville Skyline. Some of the classics are reworked on that 75 tour to perfection. Isis live has always been a favorite of mine.

The first time I remember hearing
the song is when they used it in “Pope of Greenwich Village” (1985 or so with Mickey Rourke & Eric Roberts) and it just had such a cool feel to it.
I love when CMorgan plays it at TBiA while I’m in the upper-deck sipping on a coldie.

In a little late here
Frankly, I’ve been taking a break from Ranger-related stuff the past few days. This is almost impossible for me but here’s a list:
2080 – Yeasayer
Texas – Chris Rea (you should all know this one!)
The Pretender – Foo FIghters
Stinkfist – Tool (I refuse to watch any Tool video – there’s always some gross thing in them)
Kite – Nick Heyward
Sympathy for the Devil – Blood Sweat and Tears (There is no video but it’s the only youtube result, so..)
Whiter Shade of Pale – Procol Harum
I think that’s about it, of course as soon as I hit post I’ll think of more. I have a whole other list of “all time favorites at the moment” and let me tell you, I am ashamed to admit that “Superstar” is right at the top of it.

That song is so random and weird, yet should be familiar to any Ranger fan who’s shown up to a game at least 30 minutes to a game in the last 20 years.
Listening to it always brings me back to sitting at the ballpark with my Dad waiting for the game to begin.
