My 17 year daughter loves her music and is often asking for new ideas. Finds her own stuff and gets ideas from me. She’s asked me for a list of must be listened to songs - but I’d like to not restrict her to just what I think is classic. Perhaps post lists of top ten must listen to’s ?
Off the top of my head. Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen The Load Out/Stay - Jackson Brown Hotel California - Eagles Isis - Bob Dylan Hurricane - Bob Dylan (But don’t ever, ever go and see him live! ) Walk on the wild side - Lou Reed Romeo & Juliet - Dire Straits Stairway to Heaven - Led Zep Canon in D Minor - Pachabel The Thrill is gone - B B King
The Bowie album ? Never been a fan myself ( why I started this thread). She tends to favour single songs rather than albums. Could I ask for your ‘best Bowie songs’
What Gives With You - Abraham Love Is A Dream - Ajalon Desperado - Alice Cooper Black Coffee - All Saints Joker - Babe Ruth A Day In The Life - The Beatles She Cries Your Name - Beth Orton E Equals MC Squared - Big Audio Dynamite Mother Whale Eyeless - Brian Eno In The Land Of Grey & Pink - Caravan Strewth, barely into the C's ... I have included songs that damned well ought to have been "classic", and with a variety of styles.
Good point,will ask her for a list too. Mine. AC/DC - Touch too much. Seguedille - From Carmen. Roger Waters - The Powers that be. Alice Cooper - The Department of youth. Billy Bragg - Waiting for the great leap forwards. Natasha Marsh - Si Un Jour. Frank Sinatra - That’s life. Jools Holland - Waiting Game. Kate Bush - Night of the Swallow. The Who - Who are you.
just say motown.. four tops temptations Supremes marvin Gaye smokey robinson frankie valley either of the Ruffins stevie wonder and so on..
Wish you were here - Pink Floyd Mr Brightside - Killers LSF - Kasabian Cast no Shaddow - Oasis Brocken Stones - Paul Weller Higher Love - Steve Winwood More than a Feeling - Boston Africa - Toto Zombie - The Cranberry's Ho Hey - The Lumineers Walk of Life - Dire Straights We Live and die in these towns - The Enemy Laid - James There are so many great/classic songs to suggest... Hopefully a few she won't have heard before here though. It's a very subjective question and many people will come up with may different suggestions... Good thread though @Alan williams
Yes will get her to give me her top ten too. Give people an idea of what she’s not heard. I love talking to people about music and finding new stuff to listen to.
