Best songs ever (new thread)

[StevieTNZ]

I've had this song on repeat basically all day yesterday

 

[ZapperZ]

Not sure if DennisN or anyone else has posted this yet, but if no one hasn't...

This is a jaw-dropping, spectacular rendition of Michael Jackson's "Bad" by Billie Eilish. If there's any doubt of her artistry and talent, this video should blow them all to smithereens. It is stunning. It was as if she was channeling Amy Winehouse! :)

I hadn't heard that cover with her before, thanks for posting! I agree, it is stunning, a superb performance. She's got so much soul in her voice. They made it sound like an older song than it is, really cool!

With a vocal talent like hers, combined with the great songwriting skills together with her brother, they could be heading for a very successful career in the years to come. And in the future, I hope they continue to try to stay some distance away from the mainstream and instead go for their own experimental style. Which I think they will.

Here's another great vocalist, Conor Mason in Nothing But Thieves, live in quarantine:

One song that comes to mind is Gnarles Barkley's Crazy. There are some covers of it that give me the chills.




My favorite in classical is Chopin.




In Jazz, I like Art Tatum's playing.

Some of these songs by a little known independent artist I randomly found on band-camp:

 

[Jarvis323]

And I like this song also. The part where the strings come in is great.

 

[DennisN]

My favorite in classical is Chopin.

Chopin is great. I love the nocturnes too.

Here are two other piano pieces I love by Liszt and Grieg:

 

[Mondayman]

Stones at their best, from a classic album.

 

[BWV]

Classic tune, made #9 on Rolling Stone’s top 100 Brazilian songs

Flying in a Blue Dream (along with The Extremist and Crystal Planet) were some of my favorite albums growing up as a kid. I was never really into his vocal tracks that much, but Flying in a Blue Dream (the song) and Mystical Potato Head Groove Thing gave me many hours of frustrating guitar practice!

I've probably heard this song (and possibly the whole album) 500 times - I love the whole thing, but Allan Holdsworth's solo on this is one of my favorite ever! I sometimes just repeat this song over and over when I'm on the treadmill.


I generally go through 1-2 month periods where I listen to particular bands/artists a lot. Recently it has been Van Der Graaf Generator:


And Opeth

[DennisN]

I still love this song.
Sheryl Crow - Steve McQueen

 

[david2]

Came across this on youtube. love it!

 

[CJ2116]

Wow, I really like that! I used to listen to Dave Weckl's Live and Very Plugged In back in high school a lot, but I like this even better (mostly because Kenny G has made me unable to listen to most music with saxophone in it.)

Kind of reminds me of Tribal Tech Face First in places.

 

[david2]

awesome!
