marcus Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 Good morning ladies and gents. I really love music. I'm a very eclectic person. I don't have a favorite genre to speak of but I really love music. I know some, if not all of you love music too. So this thread is intended to spark conversation about music. Name your favorite bands/artists and their greatest hit in your minds. I'll get us started. 1. Nirvana Greatest Song: All Apologies 2. Hootie and the Blowfish Greatest Song: Let Her Cry 3. Prince Greatest Song: Tie between Diamonds and Pearls and Purple Rain 4. Michael Jackson Greatest Song: Man in the Mirror 5. Tupac Shakur Greatest Song: Unconditional Love 6. Marvin Gaye Greatest Song: Tie between Heard It Through the Grapevine and Inner City Blues 7. Aaliyah Greatest Song: One in a Million 8. B.B. King Greatest Song: The Thrill is Gone 9. Aretha Franklin Greatest Song: Do Right Man 10. Conway Twitty Greatest Song: I See the Want To in Your Eyes * This just scratches the surface. These aren't ranked btw just in the order they came to mind.* Looking forward to talking music with you all. Have a awesome Saturday morning.

Last time I saw my older brother alive in January of 1969. We were driving to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. He was just out of Marine Corps Boot Camp at Parris Island, SC, and Infantry Training at Camp Geiger, NC. He was flying to CA, then to Okinawa, then to Vietnam. We listened to this song on the radio in my Dad's car. I remember my brother asking me to keep an eye on his girlfriend. I idolized him since I was born. He got on the jet. Never saw him again until his funeral in January of 1970. He was killed in action in December of 1969. A few weeks shy of returning home. 19 years old.

His service and sacrifice will never be forgotten. That's the thing about music, it connects us to so many things. I'm sure all of us have some connecting story that will forever tether us to certain songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tour2ma Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 The Hollies - Long Cool Woman (in a Black Dress) ... my undisputed #1... It has everything a great rock song should have: distinctive intro, driving beat, a hook, and an unintelligible lyric. The rest of what follow are in no particular order. Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth ... awakened me Talking Heads - Once in a Lifetime... first time I heard it I drove straight to "the record store" to buy it. EL&P - From the Beginning... gorgeous song David Bowie - Queen Bitch... thank you Billy Bass, I'm forever in your debt. Yes - Close to the Edge: The Solid Time of Change/Total Mass Retain/I Get Up... a bit of a cheat picking a three-part song, but it's my choice as Yes' pinnacle effort. Joni Mitchell - any song off her Blue LP, but if have to pick one, California... no one has ever laid bare their pain as Joni did on Blue. Leon Russell - Tight Rope... a voice meant for a mime, but as distinctive and, in its own odd way, as listenable as any. More later... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
