Best Songs Ever

I'm pretty sure we have some Johnny Cash fans here. This is a great song (originally NIN) but the video is fantastic:

I never really got the Johnny Cash thing. To each his own. This is not bashing your offering. Just that I don't regard it as being in any way exceptional or noteworthy ... musically.

SW VandeCarr

There's just one problem with this song IMHO; it's too short.

BWV

helloooo, VandeCarr

You are very correct here. It should have lasted thru dubiwa (W).

I think you have an interesting book on The Cosmos. Congrats. .....

Well W did his part in the Texas Air National Guard thanks to Daddy. No VC gonna get away with anything in Texas.

Thanks for the comment on the book. Weird cover though. I think I'm going to change it.

Trivia question: Can anyone name the song on the flip side of this 45?

Hints: Martial Arts, Native American

ThomasT

Is this it? I don't get the martial arts, native American hints.

I grew up in the 50's and 60's. So, yeah, Elvis, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, etc. The Stones are my favorite. Never really got into the Elvis thing. The Beatles, of course, who doesn't like their stuff? Will be posting some of it from, eg., the Rubber Soul album.

"Valerie" by the Monkees

The Monkees suck(ed). Just my opinion.

Ivan Seeking

Interesting! I don't think I've ever heard of this happening before; at least, I've never seen it - one song released on two different 45s. I still have my old copy of One Tin Soldier, by Coven, on a 45, with Fire on the flip side. I always thought it was strange to not only have two different artists on a 45, but also such completely different genres of music.

You still have 45s?

Ivan Seeking

I need them. The LP 78s don't play well anymore.

In fact, they are just mementos from my youth. I think the only one I've played in the last 20 years was a rare copy of something I wanted to preserve [linked] for its profound contribution to humanity, though I might have played a few once... not sure now... but if I did it was just for fun.

It does to me, as well (some people are just more particular than others).

I'm also somewhat smitten with these tunes:
