In summary: I don't know what to choose.I like alternative and classic rock with a few random songs sprinkled in.I like this song. Its really cute.This Requiem of Spirit version is too epic for this world.Let's bring back retro 70's!In summary, the very talented 21 year old Norwegian singer and songwriter Sigrid received a DMCA request to take down the previous "Best songs ever" thread, so she started a new one. She says she cannot pick a favorite song or artist, and that there are too many good songs to choose from. She lists some of her favorite songs and performers, including Boston, Japan, and Paul Simon. She finishes the summary by saying that harmony was a creation of the bar

I read the words and I like it but not sure why



Ian Anderson said he never took drugs but its hard see how that's correct watching this. 3.06 Is what I think insanity looks like OR lots of drugs. He was about 22 here but looks about 35. Hes still alive, pretty switched on bloke

Of course Evo! late 60s early 70s was a peak for me and Stevie Winwood one of those bright lights. For great harmony and unusual melody this was my fave from them.

No problem they did some great stuff, Mother Goose probably my fave but I wanted to post that vid where he looks a little crazy. Songs from the Wood is a masterpiece too.

All the young guys who are listening to this must be thinking , "what the hell is this?" Well these innovative boundary pushing musicians gave you RAP dance music and all the modern rock and beat music you hear today young people!

Listening to this makes me very sad. My friend played my "Black eyed dog" years ago, just one of those lost creative souls. Too sad for me David

@david2, I liked the songs by Nick Drake. I had heard of him, but I don't remember if I had heard anything before.

A completely different Nick:

Great stuff

Another few movie themes from the same album. The singer is Mike Patton, best known perhaps from Faith No More



What have they done to its eyes?

That was very strange and sinister. The Omen and Rosemary's baby scared the hell out of me as a kid.

And two good songs by Portishead:



I know nothing about this band apart from the name, just shows great music can pass you by if yuo don't have your ears open. I will be looking into this band, I will feedback but sounds very interesting so far.

A little bit of trivia, the guitarist for Queen was also an astrophysicist for NASA.

He left his PhD to join Queen in the early 70s, I don't think he ever worked for NASA he was finally awared his doctorate over 30 years after his degree

Sorry, you’re correct. I did some research he didn’t work for NASA, but he was a collaborator on the New Horizons probe.
