Best Songs Ever


LOS ANGELES (AP) — Neil Diamond held onto the secret for decades, but he has finally revealed that President Kennedy's daughter was the inspiration for his smash hit "Sweet Caroline."

"I've never discussed it with anybody before — intentionally," the 66-year-old singer-songwriter told The Associated Press on Monday during a break from recording. "I thought maybe I would tell it to Caroline when I met her someday."

He got his chance last week when he performed the song via satellite at Caroline Kennedy's 50th birthday party. [continued]

I just heard this line from a song and really liked it:

"In my dreams you're blowing me...









...some kisses."

Battle of Evermore is a great song, great lyrics, great vocals. Sandy Denny did an excellent job on backup vocals.


Hahaha, I might not know anything like you guys about calculus or physics or whatever, but I'd bet I know more about Led Zeppelin. I love Zeppelin though.

Best songs?.....hmmm, I'd say All My Love, by Zeppelin great vocals, great bass/keyboards, great song

Tales of Brave Ulysses, Cream... Love that song

A classic is Ramblin' Man, by the Allman Brothers Band

And Wonderful tonight

Another one is Knockin' On Heavens door by Bob Dylan. Thats a classic, dont have a link though....And its better than all the covers, even Eric Claptons.

Billy Joel Piano Man, and We Didnt Start the Fire, Downeaster Alexa (Is that how its spelled?), and Captain Jack and the Entertainer are all great songs as well. Shes Always a Woman to Me and Leningrad are also great ones.

And Im sure somebody has already mentioned...but Led Zeppelin stairway to heaven is of course a classic, and I DO have a link for that one, haha

And Train Kepta Rollin by the Yardbirds..

I could go on and on and on. Best if I stop I guess, haha.

I love the Yardbirds's version, but it's not on Youtube.

Aerosmith's version of Train Kept A Rollin' is great!

A lot of Tony's stuff is killer! At times, he has collaborated with some of the best in the business.

Jasperina de Jong, Dutch stand up comediene and actress with a technically extremely difficult representation of the Minute walz of Chopin with very funny lyrics (if you understand Dutch of course).

This one has been growing on me lately.

No One by Alicia Keys.

Again, I like the breathy female voice. I kinda wish the horns weren't synthesized. I'd like to hear this with an orchestra.
