Rutlefan Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 The first side of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is one of those perfect album sides. When I was young my mom made me take piano lessons. I demanded she teach me how to play Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding. When she insisted I learn to play piano first I lost interest. . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Instead of the "best song ever", I like choosing "perfect songs." Exploring my iTunes library I came across another Beatles song - "Something" I also feel there isn't a wasted moment in The Clash's "Train in Vain" Possibly my favorite Dylan tune - "Positively 4th Street" Pretenders - "Brass in Pocket" Cheap Trick - "Surrender" Simon & Garfunkel - "The Boxer" I can do this for hours... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beatles "I Feel Fine," Dead's "Ripple," The Replacements "I Will Dare," Stones "19th Nervous Breakdown," Clash's "Train in Vain" (as you mentioned), The Smith's "You Just Haven't Earned it Yet" and "There's a Light," The Modern Lovers' "Roadrunner," Swell Maps' "Ripped and Torn" and "Let's Build a Car" (these last two are a little obscure so I pasted them below), etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my choice for my favorite all-time number one song. Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding. It's the first song I ever tried to play on guitar as well. It just reminds me of my youth. I don't listen to it very often because it puts me in a mental place that's part wistfulness and part happiness so it takes a lot out of me if that makes sense. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is my all-time favorite album as well. I wore out two LP albums from playing it so much 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancient Ways Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Good threadFor me it would be "in my life" by the Beatles or "wouldn't it be nice?" By the beach boys for well known songs. Obscure? The Sundays "when I'm thinking about you." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's got excellent musicianship, meaningful lyrics (that are close to my heart, no pun intended), it really works on so many levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw him in concert at MSG in 1977 or 1978 and he did that song. I would have loved to have been able to play that piano intro myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
