| Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon - 1973 |
|
Grandpa got me all in the mood to listen to it, but alas, it is at work and I am at home. Am now settling for The Wall. Another great Pink Floyd song (off the Wish You Were Here album) includes these lyrics that I love: You're gonna go far, you're gonna fly high,
You're never gonna die, you're gonna make it if you try; they're gonna love you.
Well I've always had a deep respect, and I mean that most sincerely.
The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think.
Oh by the way, which one's Pink? |

Hmmm ... never was much of a Pink Flloyd fan grandpa. I tend to like: Little Green Bag - George Baker (for some reason it just makes me instantly happy!) Bobby McGee - Janis Joplin (she was really somethin' - love her stuff) Under the Boardwalk - The Drifters (a great "feel good" song) Mustang Sally - Andrew Strong (again, just makes me feel good) Macarena - Los del Rio (I love the primal beat!) Unchained Melody - Gene Pitney (I just love this song by almost any artist who has recorded it. It is "the" love song of all time) Bad to the Bone - George Thorogood (its just fun!) Jump in de line - Harry Belafonte (hey, I live in de Caribbean and if anyone knows what Caribbean dancing is like ... you gotta love this song. It tells it like it is!) Three Little Birds - Bob Marley (Happy music) You Don't Own Me - Lesley Gore (One of the first songs to empower women) Johhny Be Good - The Coasters (one of the best dance songs ever!) The Lion Sleeps Tonight - The Tokens (I just like it.) Don't worry, Be Happy - Bobby McFerrin (I used to hate this song ... but I changed my mind and now I love it. Puttin' on the Ritz - Taco (Just a funny song done with great style!) Kokomo - The Beach Boys
Orinoco Flow - Enya
Almost anything by Peter Paul & Mary, The Mamas and the Papas, Elvis and many others.

Don't know if it qualifies for most beautiful song, but it's kinda wistful like: Flying Dutchman, by Jethro Tull from the Stormwatch album. Classic, brilliant album.

Extra special meaning for me is Bob Dylan's: "I Ain't Gonna Work on Maggie's Farm No More." :) And another fave - I can't finish a glass without getting groggy or falling asleep but the best ever rock/blues drinking song ever recorded is "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" by George Thorogood. >>Bad to the Bone - George Thorogood (its just fun!) Anything by George Thorogood!

I think I just read DigitalGhost's "I'm working on getting lucky" playlist. ;) Grandpa, have you ever listened to "From the Beginning" by Emerson Lake & Palmer? Lots of nice music listed above. Instant memories and gratification. I might add, though it's not quite "rock": "The Lee Shore" Crosby Stills & Nash All along the lee shore
shells lie scattered in the sand,
winking up like shining eyes at me,
from the sea From here to Venezuela nothing more to see,
than a hundred thousand islands
flung like jewels upon the sea
for you and me |

Of course, there's a certain analogous elegance to the sentiments expressed in: "Hit me With Your Best Shot" by Pat Benatar :)

"The Great Gig in the Sky"
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon - 1973 |

Apparently they put the vocals together from numerous takes, using the best bits from each one. They certainly don't make music that good anymore. For "most beautiful song" I'd have to go with tracks like Angie (Stones), maybe Onward (Yes), Please Don't Ask (Genesis), Here, There & Everywhere (Beatles), Waterfalls (Paul McCartney) etc.... It depends how you define "beautiful". There's an instrumental on Jon Anderson's debut solo album which is the most peaceful piece of music you could wish for. If you mean a love song about a woman, well the list is endless...

Oh yea. And of course "Moon Dance." "Dark Side of the Moon" and "Moon Dance" - The first two albums I ever owned were given to me as a Christmas present from my brother. | there must be a santana song that fits, can't remember the name off the top of my head |

"Black Magic Woman"
I heard it this weekend and once again wished there was a version available without the vocals. "Yellow Moon" - Neville Brothers "Virginia Avenue" - Tom Waits And many more ... but I am at work, and if I start playing too many of these songs in my head, it will take too long to get my mind back into gear. <note type="mental" value="assess priorities" />

You busted me Webwork. ;) I put more emphasis on the 'beautiful' bit than the 'rock n roll' bit. If I had to pick a song that typifies rock n roll it would be Johnny B. Goode. Chuck Berry had a tremendous influence on all of my guitar heroes.
