Hmmm.... here are some songs that I consider among the greatest ever. Richard Thompson - Beeswing James Carr - Dark End Of The Street Nirvana - Polly Charlie Rich - Lord I Feel Like Going Home
I only know the Nirvana song. Will listen to others in a bit. My other nominees would be something like Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynryd Hotel California by The Eagles Plush by Stone Temple Pilots Big River by Johnny Cash Use Me by Bill Withers I'm sure there are more I am missing.
My favorite songwriter is Richard Thompson. He's the father of English folk rock and one of the greatest guitarists in history. I'd recommend the albums, Pour Down Like Silver, Shoot Out The Lights and Front Parlor Ballads. His songs are funny, dark and seldom end happily.
I will check it out. Even with Slacker when I find something I like I hadn't heard of, related artists bring me back to stuff I know. Which reminds me of a better song than any I mentioned, just haven't heard a decent sound quality version. Steppenwolf, It's Never Too Late.
Off the top of my head God Only Knows Imagine Like a Rolling Stone Satisfaction Hey Jude Smells Like Teen Spirit My Name Is Hotel California Bohemian Rhapsody Stairway to Heaven Hallelujah What's Goin' On Respect
Keep On Rocking In Free World by Neil Young Small Town by John Mellencamp Father And Son by Cat Stevens Story Of My Life by Social Distortion Crazy by Patsy Cline Money Talk by AC/DC Anything ever written by Steve Earle
oooh, good stuff. My favorite line in that BB King song is "better tell that insurance man to write some insurance on himself"
Not exactly sure why, but I love the line from Guitar Town by Steve Earle....."I gotta keep rockin' while I still can, I got a two pack habit and a motel tan". Just struck me as clever when I first heard it.... Also forgot to throw "Mama Tried" by Merle Haggard on my list.
How about the dumbest good song as well? I vote for You're So Vain by Carly Simon. It is about him you dumb !#$@+!#&=^รท
