‘classic’ Songs Everyone Should Listen To

Discussion in 'Lounge' started by Alan williams, Nov 2, 2018.

  1. Yes but I’ve found some people get upset.

    Thought I was going to get punched for saying Dark Side of the Moon is boring ( sorry anyone that loves that album)

  2. Im probably blues/rock in taste..but..

    Jakkata - American Dream
    Funky Kingstown - Toots and the Maytals
    Isnt it Time - The Babys
    Cool Jerk - The Capitols

    Classic Brit rock bands. Fantastic..
    The Faces
    Stones
    Free
    The Band
    Cream..

    Then just look at the band members and see even more quality music

    Clapton
    Steve Winwood
    Paul Kossof

    Dare say The Police...Sting had a tiny bit success!
    Blur....
    Oasis.

    Now listening to The Band- Dont do It. Studio version.

  5. In chronological order of recording, without thinking too hard:

    1. At the Jazz Band Ball - Bix Beiderbecke
    2. If I didn't Care - The Ink Spots 1939
    3. The Song is You - Frank Sinatra 1946
    4. Tutti Frutti - Little Richard 1957
    5. All Summer Long - Beach Boys 1964
    6. She Came In though The Bathroom Window - Joe Cocker 1970
    7. At Seventeen - Janis Ian 1975
    8. EMI - Sex Pistols 1977
    9. Boogie Wonderland - Earth Wind & Fire 1979
    10. Coffee & TV - Blur 1999

    I don't do much after 2000 - not because I don't like it, but because I can't keep up. If I did this tomorrow, there would be 10 different songs on. I've just noticed there are no prog songs, which is my favourite genre, but most girls don't like it, which is why Janis Ian is there your daughter is 17.

  6. Feel free to do 10 more tomorrow:)

    I’m not sure about prog rock and my daughter either, she’s not a fan of a long intro in songs, but I think she would give anything a listen and see.

    Before 2000 ideal - that’s what’s she’s after, stuff before she was even born.
     
  7. I'd be interested to know what your daughter thinks, if she can be bothered to give it a try. Neither of my daughters ever liked my music, but I did get some stuff from them, such as Oasis (obviously older than your daughter) and Nirvana. I think gender makes a difference listening to music, but no idea why. I've been out to lunch, which helps.

    By the way, by the time I got to the end of the list, I was thinking "why have I not included Robert Johnson's 32-20 Blues?"
     
  8. She has promised to provide feedback.
    She likes some of the music I like, earlier AC/DC, Led Zep, Marilyn Manson, Frank Sinatra, Jools Holland. Only genre she refuses to listen to of mine is Opera.

    So far she said she likes Paul Weller and a few others ( can’t remember what she said now, will ask her later).

    I’m getting a lot of reminders for songs I haven’t listened to for years too :)

  11. Brian Eno is fabulous - try "Needles in the Camel's Eye" and "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy". From the list of earlier likes, if you like guitar bands, how about any early Budgie. The first album is great all the way through, but possibly their best is "Napoleon Bonaparte 1 and 2" - stick with it as a long-ish song, as Shelley has a great rock voice and Tony Bourge is a very under-rated guitarist. Budgie are very well thought of as influential by a lot of later heavy bands.

  12. Budgie were one of the first bands I saw live, I think at the Gaumont in Ipswich - they were supporting someone but I can’t remember who.

    Edit :
    Just found it on 45worlds.com. Think they were supporting Gillan.

  13. Try this classic easy to listen prog song
     
  14. Love a bit of Eno, esp like the 801 live album that he features on. Also, for a bit of added all round guitar genius, try listening to Tommy Bolin, one time Deep Purple lead guitarist.
