'The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald'

 

after that, what else matters?

I have a buddy who used to go to this sports bar near his apartment that had The Wreck on their jukebox. When he was ready to leave, he would put $5 in the Juke box, and play that song 10 times, and then go home. :LOL:

At least it wasn't 'let's get physical' by Olivia Neutered John.

I worked in a record store in the late 80's and if any young punks came in the store near closing time we would put

Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da by the Beatles on repeat...they would last about 2 plays and they were gone.....

Sleepsong- Bastille

Drive All Night- Bruce Springsteen

Russian Roulette- Rihanna

Since I was six years old my favourite song has always been Waterloo Sunset by The Kinks.

Is there a trick to finding their songs? Everything and anything else comes up but the actual album cuts.

Well...two songs would be easy Natural Science and The Spirit of Radio...

 

Would Another Brick in the Wall - Pink Floyd make sense to anyone? I've always loved that song.

 

Nice call on The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Living on the tip of Lake Superior brings a bit of extra weight and magic to that song.

I'm sure you've found it by now, but just in case:

 

 

I love what Ringo brings to the table here. And the Hammond (?) is a nice sonic touch.

I love Ringo's drumming on this underrated gem.

And with no participation from Lennon, apparently.

 

There's quite a bit of info on Wikipedia about this track, for anyone who might be interested:

Dear God......that is incredibly hard.

 

I know what my #1 is though.

 

Red Barchetta

 

 

Would have to give serious serious thought to the next 4. So many songs have touched me over the last 4 decades.....jesus man.

wow - I'd actually have the same first 4 songs! However, my song #5 would go to "Starless" - King Crimson or "And You and I" - YES

 

It is so ridiculously hard to narrow it all down to 5 though.... could have had "Natural Science" or "Subdivions" or "Between The Wheels" or "La Villa" or "Vital Signs" in place of "Red Barchetta", "Time" or "Echoes" or "Mother" or "Dogs" or "Wish You were Here" in place of "Shine On", "Stairway" or "The Song Remains the Same" or "Kashmir" or "Achilles" in place of "Ten Years Gone", or "Anesthetize" or "A Smart Kid" or "Trains" or "Blackest Eyes" or "Buying New Soul" or "Luminol" or "The Raven That Refused to Sing" or "Ancestral" in place of "Arriving" and then even "Schizoid Man" or "Epitaph" or "Red" or "Fallen Angel" or "Frame By Frame" or "Close to the Edge" or "Roundabout" or "Yours Is No Disgrace" or "Awaken" or "Turn of the Century" or "Machine Messiah" in the 5 spot... lol

:oops: :facepalm:

I think I'll go listen to that Grassroots tune now.

 

Good list, RC! We can't forget the oldies. I ought to think of my five favorites too.

fun thread!

today:

 

Long Long Long - The Beatles - beautiful

 

 

I have the hardest time finding The Beatles' songs on youtube, but I'm going to look for that White album. Has some great songs on it including the one you mentioned.

 

I looove Long Long Long, an under-appreciated classic. When I was first discovering The Beatles as a post-punk-loving college junior, Long Long Long was one of the first tracks that really grabbed me.
