Good,bad,andrush Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 The Beatles - All You Need Is Love I was obsessed with this song when I was very young. God, it's impossible to write good melodies, the Beatles took them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good,bad,andrush Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 The Beatles - While My Guitar Gently Weeps This song is also one of the greatest songs ever, period. I've always found it similar to Van der Graaf Generator's Into a Game, which I do enjoy better but I still absolutely love this song to no end. The Beatles were truly magical, f*** all those dudes who think they were too mainstream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good,bad,andrush Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 The Beatles - The Long and Winding Road Make it stop! The flood of memories going through my head is overwhelming me, I'm gonna start crying in classes writing about these songs. I think I've convinced myself to go on a Beatles binge now. Will start tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good,bad,andrush Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 The Beatles - All Too Much I had to listen to this one again and boy am I glad I did! This is definitely more psychedelic. Kinda reminds me of Robert Wyatt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good,bad,andrush Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Big Brother and the Holding Company - Piece of My Heart Again, some good stuff. Would probably listen to it on a mixtape or something but wouldn't actively seek it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good,bad,andrush Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Big Brother and the Holding Company - Farewell Song (live from Janis Joplin - Farewell Song) Well this was a nice surprise. Felt like I was there. Great vocals too, especially for live. Love the enlightning guitar sound too, but again...wouldn't listen to it too often. But jeesus, the way it speeds up at the end is golden, golden golden golden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good,bad,andrush Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Biglietto Per L'Inferno - Confessione Left me cold. Would take a few more listens but I still heard some nice bits and pieces. Usually Italian prog or prog of any other language takes a while to grow on me unless it's Spanish or French. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good,bad,andrush Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 David Bowie - Heroes Been a LONG time since I've listened to David Bowie. Memories, ahh. Good stuff though, I was kinda surprised. Nice psychedelic touches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good,bad,andrush Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 David Bowie - Modern Love Very reminiscent of Billy Joel, one of my favorite artists. Like this a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushgoober Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 Sounds like you're enjoying most of the songage G,B&R! Glad you dig Syd and The Beatles and Bowie. I'm seriously enjoying you taking apart my list! Oh yeah, when you get to Eric Burdon & The Animals (which will be soon) - I know this might be tough, but try to find the ORIGINAL version of all those songs, as I think all of them were recorded at least twice with different line-ups, and the original versions are much better. Carry on (my wayward son)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good,bad,andrush Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 David Bowie - Sons of the Silent Age Didn't do much for me really, but Bowie in general could definitely grow on me. It did have a triumphant ending though, I definitely enjoyed that a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good,bad,andrush Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 David Bowie - The Man Who Sold the World I used to love this song when I was little, so I had to listen to the whole thing for the memories. Hits the soul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did have a triumphant ending though, I definitely enjoyed that a lot. It's a weird song (but then again, Bowie is a weird guy), and definitely a grower, or at least it was for me. More than anything, the song just sounds cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good,bad,andrush Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Been crazy busy, but I HAVE NOT forgotten this. Too many good songs to stop. I'll get back soon, but I'm working 52 hours a week and when I'm not I'm studying, reading, playing/recording with the band, or exercising. Oh, and occasionally sleeping.

Tommy Sawyer Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 (edited) I started compiling a list a few weeks ago, but then... I stopped.
