Come on Dawgs put your favorite songs here:

Limp Bizkit - Rollin'

We don't have enough fave song threads.

Metallica - Fuel

I would certainly never discourage music threads. I would however say that there have been so many that I have posted so many of my favorite songs and artists before that the pickings are getting slim for me.

So what I will do is give you songs from an artist that has always been "one of my favorites" that seemingly gets very little love here.

First big song I loved of his was with Blind Faith



He followed that up with Traffic in 1972



Solo songs







The last time I saw him play was in 2015 with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. RIP Tom.

Tom Petty's death was a real shocker to me.

Not that I was a huge fan when he was most productive (what, late 80s, early 90s?). For instance, I never bought a Tom Petty album.

But since he's died I've bought maybe a dozen of his biggest hits for my MP3 player.

Very familiar songs from when they were on the radio all the time. Now, I love them more then ever.

I guess that's how many artists become popular after they die.

I was a fan of his from his very first solo album. His music was basic but it was real.

Thanks for posting I grew up with Steve Winwood and Stevie Nicks.
The Moody Blues - Nights in White Satin



Love this song.
Me too. I just feel in the grand scheme of things he gets overlooked quite a bit.
Dave thanks for posting that. Those were the days.
My favorite song is Lateralus by Tool. The first video is the song itself. The second is an examination of the song. Heads up, it's pretty deep stuff.






The Grateful Dead launched All The Years Live, a video series available through their official YouTube channel. Archivist David Lemieux introduced the series in a “seaside chat” and the first video has been released featuring the band’s performance of “Morning Dew” from October 18, 1974 at The Winterland in San Francisco.

“We are going to start digging into the vault and releasing unreleased Grateful Dead concert videos pretty much song-by-song,” Lemieux said. “These will be the good-quality, multi-camera video shoots that would have been on the screens at stadiums. So they’ll all be really good. We’re going to do proper transfers. They’ll look, they’ll sound great and they’ll be available here on the Grateful Dead’s official YouTube channel.”

The archivist explained that the channel will also feature footage from past concert films. David noted that videos from previous releases have been cleaned up for inclusion on the Dead’s YouTube channel. However, the big news is the plans to unveil live videos that haven’t been shared yet. “What we’ve released so far is only the tip of the iceberg,” Lemieux added.

David Lemieux asks fans to subscribe to the channel. New videos will be posted each Thursday at 8 a.m. PT. Watch Lemieux introduce the series below:

Pretty sure this is from the 'Grateful Dead Movie', which was filmed when the band decided to take a hiatus in 1974 and they held a series of final shows at the Winterland (also captured on the "Steal Your Face" LP).
Taylor Swift - Blank Space

Just heard this one again, and it's one I've always liked.

John Parr - St. Elmo's Fire

Mr. Mister - Kyrie



Grass Roots - Temptation Eyes

Good tune.
Thanks I haven't heard I'm not in love in years.
REO Speedwagon - Keep on Loving You

Madonna - Don't Tell Me

Layla - the original from 1970 by Eric Clapton/ Derek and the Dominos

Oteil Burbridge is one of my favorite bassists. His stuff with The Aquarium Rescue Unit was pretty amazing too.
Skid Row - 18 And Life

Check out his collection called "The Juliet Letters."
Elvis and a classical string quartet. Really great stuff.

I've played it 2 times with a really talented local singer.
re: Elvis Costello

Also really liked "Painted from Memory" with Burt Bacharach.
Joe Walsh - Rocky Mountain Way.

This song will always be near and dear to my heart.

I remember being about 6-7 years old, rocking out to this song in our family Yugo at the time (yes, we was broke growing up). My brother in the front seat, me and my other brother in the back holding garbage bags going to the dump - windows down as my dad jammed it out loud on the cassette player. Simpler times back just a mere 25 years ago.

We appreciated those little things.
Yo Willie: check out Triumph's cover of Rocky Mountain Way. It won't be better than your memories of that song, but they did a good job on that.
John Lennon - Watching The Wheels

...for this I can’t forgive him.
The Corrs - Breathless

This one was way ahead of its time.



Great Album.
Other than the "My Woman From Tokyo" intro rip off, I always loved this song.

I think the studio version of "Meadows" came off "The Smoker You Drink, the Player You Get" album. That's my 2nd favorite Joe Walsh album behind "Barnstorm". Good stuff.
It most certainly did.
Matchbox Twenty - 3AM

Matchbox Twenty - Back 2 Good

Corrs singer is a nice-looking woman. They do a great cover of Hendrix's Little Wing.

The Pussycat Dolls - Buttons ft. Snoop Dogg

One of my all-time faves is Sly's proto-funk classic "Thank You (fallettinme be mice elf Again)"


They had so many great songs it was very hard for me to pick. But I rather prefer their low gravely vocals. Being a natural baritone it just suits me better. Funk was great in the 70's!

Creedence Clearwater Revival

Well, all of Creedence is imo top stuff but here's one......

Fortunate Son

The Verve

Someone brought Midnight Confessions and put it on. A minute into the song our teacher(nun) lost it. Almost broke the record in half.

That was the end of our Christmas party. tsktsk tsktsk tsktsk

Neil Young

The Needle and the Damage Done

Harry Belafonte

Don't Stop The Carnival

Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour

The best part of the song kicks in at 1:34 quickly leading to the demise/cancelation of The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour.

"Smothers Brothers"


I watched them through the years. My favorite is George Carlin. I also loved the big chuck and little john show.
As a kid, my favorites were "Wake up little Suzy", "Unchained Melody", and Sheb Wooley's "Purple People Eater" (duh wink ).

Songs that I must listen to when they come on now: "Here Comes the Hotstepper", "It Wasn't Me", "Boombastic", probably a half dozen different songs by ABBA, most anything by Buddy Holly, "Sabotage", "Intergalactic", "Bring the Noise", "I've Got the Power", "Jesus Built My Hotrod", "Head Like a Hole"
You just named all my favorite songs you just left out angel by shaggy.

Shaggy - Angel ft. Rayvon



Nine Inch Nails - Head Like A Hole

Great call on Angel!
The lyrics remind me of another childhood favorite: Juice Newton's "Angel of the Morning"

Also gotta add "Let's Groove" because I just heard it. smile
I recently watched Boehemian Rhapsody .. and forgot how talented Mercury was w/the vocals. Great songs
Green Day - When I Come Around



Stone Sour - Through Glass



Stone Temple Pilots - Creep

Evanescence - My Immortal



Flo Rida - My House

The Notorious B.I.G. (feat. Bone Thugz-N-Harmony) - Notorious Thugs



Boyz N The Hood - Eazy E

The Rolling Stones.........Live, Altamont 1969

Under My Thumb

Tragically remembered as the concert where a concertgoer was stabbed to death 20-30 feet from the stage by a Hells Angel.

The vid doesn't show it but shows him being dragged off camera by an HA.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Meredith_Hunter

Meredith Curly Hunter, Jr. (October 24, 1951 – December 6, 1969) was an 18-year-old African American who was killed at the 1969 Altamont Free Concert. During the performance by The Rolling Stones, Hunter approached the stage, and was violently driven off by members of the Hells Angels motorcycle club who had been contracted to serve as security guards. He subsequently returned to the stage area, drew a revolver, and was stabbed and beaten to death by Hells Angel Alan Passaro.

The incident was caught on camera and became a central scene in the documentary Gimme Shelter. Passaro was charged with murder. After an eight-man, four-woman jury deliberated for 12 and a half hours, following 17 days of testimony, Passaro was acquitted on grounds of self-defense.

Since you mentioned that song, one of the best covers of a stones song IMO is by a late-70s, early 80s Canadian band named Streetheart.

I don't think they recorded a studio version of Under My Thumb, it was from a live album they recorded. I prefer it to the original (don't hate me).

If you feel like it, check that cover out.

They also did a decent cover of a Small Faces tune (a band that I liked), but I can't remember the name of the cover offhand.

It isn’t a favorite, but I heard this song about three days ago and I can’t get it out of my head:

'been down" not bend down, man I so often get lyrics wrong.

Dirty Deeds, Thun der Chief!

or is it,

Dirty Deeds, done dirt cheap!

also,

is it, ..\

You make me feel like a nat ur al Woman,

When for over 20 years I was sure it was saying

You make me feel like a Man Should A Woman,
The name of the song is dirty deeds done dirt cheap - it might even be the album title - so yeah , those are probably the lyrics.
And here I thought it was "Dirty jeans dungarees. Dirty jeans and they're dungarees".

Love it! Haven't heard the term "dungarees" since grandma and grandpa, both born in the very early 1900's, were alive.

I like a lot of Randy Newman's stuff, including the song you posted.

My favorite though is a somber instrumental piece from the movie "Awakenings". It's called, "Dexter's Tune."

No link to it available.

Randy Newman is unique as a song writer.

Nobody writes like he does. He can write a sensitive love song like "Every time it Rains". Then tell a story of how he fell in love and stalks a girl "Susanne" whose number was in a phone booth.

I have always loved the guy since the first I heard "Sail Away."
I always loved the sequence in Naked Gun with Randy Newman’s “I Love LA”
I know it's Friday, but always a great song to start the work week off with.
Good jam

Sometimes I can’t pick a favorite song. So I pick them all.

I saw this band at th ePortland Waterfront Blues Festival about 10 years ago. My oh my how they blew me away. They played this and Zeppelin's "The Ocean" amongst many others. Super great and so fun!
This is madness!!!!

Something different for all you mainstream music folks. This is one of my favorite up coming bands in my scene. These guys are all exceptional musicians that have really honed their craft together onstage. I caught them this summer at a festival. They didn’t disappoint.

Something a little smooth and a little funky.
Introducing you all to,
Spafford...

Originally Posted By: PitDAWG

Man they’re so damn good. This was from a festival I worked last summer. I invited PDX onto my crew. The night of this show I sat him on the amphitheater hill to watch the show. He didn’t really know what to expect as he wasn’t familiar with Greensky. Let’s just say he walked away more than impressed.
From about the 7 minute mark on the guys just let it roll into something well beyond bluegrass. They say about themselves that they’re a rock band that plays bluegrass instruments. Anders Beck is quite possibly the most innovative and outside the box dobro player on earth right now. It shows. Enjoy...

This is another band big in my scene. The last few years has really seen their popularity rise. I remember working for a band in Columbus in the late 90’s early 2000. This band opened for us. My how they've grown.

Umphrey's McGee...
This intro is just incredible. It is made to be played loud.

I heard Folsom Prison Blues in the car just a bit ago ... for whatever reason that song gives me the feeling of being a hard ass (and I’m not one lol)
I don't like country music, but I lied some of Johnny Cash's songs. The Folsom Prison Blues song bothered me. It's a cool song w/a great beat and lot's of passion, but a couple of things bothered me.

One was this line:

Quote:
But I shot a man in Reno
Just to watch him die


One his band members let out a war whoop after that.

That is very shallow and troubling.

The second was when he yelled out "Sooie" while recording that song in prison. Sooie is a reference to pigs, and most of us know that law enforcement were referred to as pigs during that time period.

I think that it had to be tough on the prison guards after that performance and I'm sure the inmates felt more resentful, but Johnny made a lot of money off of it.

Here is a recording of it.

Quote:
But I shot a man in Reno
Just to watch him die


One his band members let out a war whoop after that.

That is very shallow and troubling.

The second was when he yelled out "Sooie" while recording that song in prison. Sooie is a reference to pigs, and most of us know that law enforcement were referred to as pigs during that time period.

I think that it had to be tough on the prison guards after that performance and I'm sure the inmates felt more resentful, but Johnny made a lot of money off of it.

Here is a recording of it.

yeah, there’s no doubt it’s disrespectful and risqué ... its a different type of tune (and i dont like country either)

Part of the brilliance is that this played during a very poignant scene on The Walking Dead (spoilers in the youtube comments!). That heaviness aside, wow, I love simple songs with brilliant lyrics.



This tune is a beautifully-wrought vehicle for Joni's poetry more than it is a song per se. The soundscape is magic (damn, what a band), but the words she writes are so artfully, thoughtfully crafted they can literally take my breath away. I listen to this piece and think to myself, "what a mind- to be able to create like this..."

Read the lyrics in time with Joni's voice. Don't skim or read ahead. Take this poem at Joni's pace. Let her take you somewhere.

"White flags of winter chimneys
Waving truce against the moon"


breathtaking.


lyrics
As a writer and sometimes poet, I always thought this song was very poetic.

You know..............while I am no musical expert, I have to say that when I listen to music, I sometimes like songs that make me feel happy or wanna dance. Other times, I love songs that I feel that delve deeply into political and social issues. There are other songs where I just marvel at their true greatness. Others tug at my heartstrings because I know that many artists teeter on that fine line of sanity and insanity.

Etta James is one such artist. I posted a tribute to her a few years ago and I won't go through all of her songs again, but this woman struggled w/mental illness while being one of the most talented vocalists who ever lived. This may sound weird, but I think "touched" people are sometimes better artists. It is all about the rawness Unabashed emotions. If you ever have some time, research Etta. She was brilliant and tragic, just like many other artists of her time......and maybe beyond.

My wife was born in Idaho, and never liked Country/Western. I grew up in Cleveland and always liked Country/Western

I took he to a Merle Haggard concert maybe 15 years ago. She was cool until he p[played this song, then she was hooked on the Hag. Heck, maybe 20 years ago.
