My best songs - what are yours?
 
I get goose bumps whenever I hear “Rainy Night in Georgia” and “Sunday Morning Coming Down”. I don’t know who wrote the first but I will always be indebted to Kris Kristofferson for this song.

RedChariot 09-25-2023 12:47 PM

Dance with my father again. Luther Vandross. It will always bring me to tears. Even right now just thinking about it.

Velvet 09-25-2023 03:07 PM

So many songs and genres, among my favorites; “Feel It Still” by Portugal. The Man and “Today” by The Smashing Pumpkins.

Carla B 09-25-2023 03:37 PM

There are so many...but two are: "Killing Me Softly with His Song," by Roberta Flack, and The Sound of Silence," Simon and Garfunkel.

CFrance 09-25-2023 03:44 PM

Puff the Magic Dragon And no, it was not about drugs, according to Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary, the man who wrote it. It was simply the story of a boy growing up.

And speaking of Simon & Garfunkel, The Boxer.

One I will never, ever get tired of is I Can See Clearly Now (the rain is gone).

coralway 09-25-2023 03:48 PM

If it’s by Lennon & McCartney - it’s a favorite

Carla B 09-25-2023 04:41 PM

Yes, especially "Yesterday." According to Wikipedia, it was voted the best song of the 20th Century by expert British musicians and audience members.

D&BSmith 09-25-2023 05:08 PM

Pretty much anything by Zepplin, The Stones and Stevie Ray Vaughn.

tophcfa 09-25-2023 05:47 PM

Blue Sky, Almond Brothers

Paint it Black............Rolling Stones.

I confess to being a bit anal regarding drumming.
Charlie Watts was a great drummer, probably one of the best drummers of his time.
Not a show boater like many rock drummers, but always perfect timing.
His drumming on Paint it Black is as good as it can get.

Kris Kristofferson basically chronicled my life, since every song of his that I’ve heard brings back so many personal memories. But now, Toby Keith’s “Don’t Let the Old Man In” has become my theme song.

I love that the one thing we all can agree on is that music has made our life better.

In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel

mikeycereal 09-26-2023 07:06 AM

Oh my gosh so many songs that I love. I have Cd's for every year that I custom made... also on my Phone (Spotify).

I'll just throw out 2 when they come on I have to listen to all the way through.

Nobody Does it Better - Carly Simon. Also looking for a current karaoke singer to do this one. Had a girlfriend ace it back in '96. She said she didn't know the song well when I asked... could've fooled me!

...and Driver's Seat by Smith and the Tears.

What is a good radio station that plays these songs and doesn't blast you out of bed in the morning?
