Blues/Rock category...

[b]"Crossroads"[/b]

Written and recorded in 1935 by Robert Johnson in a warehouse in Dallas' Deep Ellum district and later immortalized by Cream in a live performance in 1968.  Clapton at the height of his powers, Jack Bruce virtuoso bass guitar and Ginger Baker playing in the style Mick Fleetwood could only imitate.

I vote for "Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring"  Beethoven

Though Giovanni Palestrina's "Sicut Cervus" is also extraordinary.  A perfect example of italian polyphany.

Of course I'm also a real fan of Silly Wizard's  "Donald McGillavry" and "The Queen of Argyle"

I could get behind some of these choices, but there are just so many that it is a hard choice.

Yes, Freebird, Stairway to Heaven come to mind, but are certainly over exposed.

I have to agree that, with the possible exception of Patsy Cline, Karen Carpenter had a once in a lifetime natural talent, syrupy though she might have been.

I think I'll go obscure and say "I never Dreamed She'd Leave in Summer" recorded by Three Dog Night, written by Stevie Wonder, IIRC.

"City of New Orleans" by Arlo Guthrie.

I got to meet him when he played the Peabody Hotel ballroom in Memphis several years ago.  Shook his hand, told him I really appreciated his music, he said....."Thanks, Kid!"

Really nice guy, but he smelled bad.  I mean really bad, like he hadn't had a shower in weeks.

Scary that a rabid right-wing conservative like me enjoys liberal folk music.  Even scarier is the fact that it was hard for me to decide between Arlo and "Rocketman" by Elton John.

Elton is my second favorite homo.  My favorite rump ranger is Rob Halford of Judas Priest.

Not a queer bone in my body (pun intended), just ask my wife.

wow, there's a replacements fan here?
I have to tell you the AR15 board has come to impress me. some of the most mature intelligent yet diverse ppl reside here, that can live with others opinions. Im proud to say I post here! After years of posting on other boards (non weapon related), all you ever see is snivelling asses trying to put down the ideas of others.

my fave 'Winter' drinking albums for last few years, (because arent they ALL drinking songs in some way or another?:

some albums maybe to check out:

1. Cheri Knight - The Northeast Kingdom
2. Cheri Knight - The Knitter
3. The Jayhawks - Hollywood Town Hall
4. The Jayhawks - Tomorrow the Green Grass

other bands worth mentioning are, Deftones, ATDI, The Figgs, Pietasters, Op Ivy, I could go on.

and of course Beethoven and Mozart!

Keep em coming guys.  I thought I already had all the good music on file.  Whenever I run across a thread like this, I turn the suggestions that you make (and I don't already have) into reality through my Klipsch ProMedias.  Keep em coming......

BTW....I wholeheartedly recommend most anything by [b]Southern Culture on the Skids[/b]. [url]http://www.scots.com/[/url] If you aren't familiar with them, start out with the following:

Haw River Stomp

Danke Schoen, darling Danke Schoen. Thank you for all the joy and pain. Picture shows, second balcony, was the place we'd meet, second seat, go Dutch treat, you were sweet.

Danke Schoen, darling Danke Schoen. Thank you for walks down lovers lane. I can see, hearts carved on a tree, letters inter-twined, for all time, yours and mine, that was fine.

Danke Schoen, darling Danke Scheon. Thank you for funny cards from Spain. I recall, Central Park in fall, how you tore your dress, what a mess, I confess, thats not all.

Danke Schoen, darling Danke Schoen. Thank you for seeing me again. Though we go, on our seperate ways, still the memory stays, for always, my heart says, Danke Schoen.

But lately, I have an obsession with Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue by Toby Keith. I'm surprised nobody else has mentioned it. To me, it sounds good enough to be the next national anthem.

There are too many great songs from the '60s and early '70s to even make an attempt at picking just one (or even 50).

It takes a lot more than just "sounding good" for a song to be "great".........
A GREAT song is one that moves you, brings back memories (both good and bad), or makes you think.

FiveO,

Yea, SCOTS is still keeping the road hot from town to town.  Take a peek at their schedule and catch a show when they come to your neck of the woods. I've seen them probably a dozen times over the years, and they just keep getting better. [8D]  

As for Man or Astro Man, that's a new one on me.  I'm doing the Kazaalite thing in as I type.  Hope it's some good stuff.  Thanks for throwing me the bone.  That's precisely what I was hoping to get out of this thread.    

Enjoy,

Cope

THAT IS SOOO TRUE.  Like what the hell's happened since then you can hang your hat on with a song?  Doesn't that sound like the complete old phart.  But really that was a time when so much was happening it was easy to associate a particular song with memorable events.  Visuals like sitting in a cold San Fran garage keeping warm off the heat of the Harley motors waiting for the rain to stop and listening to Jim Morrison sing "Riders on the Storm".  It was easy.

Here....FREE OF CHARGE! [middle finger]

J/K!

Lots of cool choices here.  Elton John is a fantastic singer/songwriter...one of the best.  Fleetwood Mac is very cool, lots of great songs.  Modern music is cool but there isn't much out there in the way of heavy music (my preferred style) that is new and that I can relate to anymore.

For personal relatability, in chronological order I have to go with:
1.  "Metal Health"  Quiet Riot.
2.  "Me and My Wine"  little known B-Side to another great song "Bringing on the Heartbreak-Remix" by DefLeppard.
3.  "Sister Christian" by Night Ranger.  Talented guys.  The bass player/songwriter would later play in the band Damn Yankees with Ted Nugent.
4.  "Don't Tell me You Love Me" Night Ranger
5.  "Jump" Van Halen...actually the whole "1984" record.  Damn, I am dating myself!
6.  "I remember you" by Skid Row....the song+production+that guitar solo+that time of my life=big feelings.
7.  "Honestly" by Stryper  Anything by them!
8.  "End of the Line" by TNT.  Huge production value, big sound, classical tinge.  Ronnie LeTekro on guitar!
Moving into more modern stuff.....
9.  "Alive" by P.O.D.  
10.  Anything done by Michael Sweet after he left Stryper.  This guy is a class A songrwriter, singer, and guitar player.  Very versatile, does everything from dropped D heavy metal to funk, to U2 style psychedelic pop, and does it well with hooks throughout.  Was on Benson records, currently on Restless Records.  

Flame on!

Can you tell I am all about the pop?  [:)]

Talk about camaro, mullet and long sideburn tastes in music. Yech. Out of four pages I've found may be 10 songs I'd rank in the to 50.

If you're going hillbilly I'd suggest:
"Devil went down to Georgia"
or
"A country boy can survive" (the original)

For rock:

"Engel" - Rammstein (the ultimate ass-kicking song)

"You shook me all night long" AC/DC (great song, too short)

"Whiskey in the Jar" (Been out since swords were in fashion, but I like either the Flogging Molly version, or the Metallica version)

"Drunken Lullabies" Flogging Molly. (A rock-tempo Irish drinking song about old soldiers itching to fight the good fight again. GET ME MY FAL AND A PINT OF GUINNESS DAMNIT!)

"Dead or Alive" Jon Bon Jovi (Quite possibly the finest "gunslinger" song ever written)

All others:

"Somewhere Beyond the Sea" Frank Sinatra (If there is a classier, catchier love ballad ever made I've yet to hear it. It'll be the first dance at the wedding reception.)

"The Minstral Boy" Various (Probably the coolest minstral tune to survive into the modern era. If there is any other simple ballad about freedom and war I have yet to hear it. First heard it on Star Trek. Something about O'Brien and his old captain sitting on the bridge of a light crusier at red alert singing that in high harmony that sent shivers up and down my spine, like it was a part of me I'd rediscovered. The BHD version was good, but too convoluted, its ment to be a song sung by untrained, unaccompanied male voices. Simple and dirty.)

Danny Boy. Harry Connick Jr. (ONLY the one he sings IN Memphis Belle, not the crap version on the tape.)
