Well, I've posted this before, I think, but that doesn't make this brilliant song by David Bowie any worse:

In all honesty, can anyone compete with Time, by Pink Floyd?

Why not just change the name of the thread to "What're You Listening To" since everyone has different taste in music and you can't really ask for best song. I'd have like 500 if I had to make a list.

Anyways, I'm listening to Keane (English band) right now. Their first album, Hopes & Fears is nice.

This is a very nice thread and I want to add a link to a favorite of a dear friend that became my favorite and brings back memories. It is devine.

Time to say goodbye (Con te partirò)

Something I noticed in this topic was so many times the video is not there anymore. I was taught a 'trick' to download from youtube.com were you add 'kiss' to the address in this manner shown below;

Now you can download instead of only watching.

Since this thread has turned into personal faves I guess I wanted to post the music of a local musician. I love his work and he is complimented very well by a guy called Ed Lauret who is a young guitarist and also my friend. Anyway the guys website has a few songs from his first album to listen to and they are superb.

Toward the within "Rakim"

My Irish friend sent me this. I remember Dead can Dance. I love the hammered dulcimer, which is what she is playing. What language is that? Since my friend usually sends me Irish music, I at first thought it might be Irish, but the band is Australian, and the song reminds me of the Arabic influence found in Sicily. And again it doesn't.

I thought Astronuc might like this. I *LOVE* this kind of music.

:!) Thanks Evo, that is great! I love the hammer dulcimer, which sounds a lot like the Indian Sitar, which I love.

I think the vocals are Arabic initially then the second part is English.

I'll be keeping an eye open with respect to their performances.

Let me counter with -
Dead Can Dance - Desert Song

Here, another few great videos from the DVD:

I was never a huge fan of Dire Straits' "You and Your Friend" until I heard their live version. Here it is. Probably Knopfler's best guitar tone ever - laid back and perfectly timed and nuanced. I can approach his tone with my rig, but I'll need a serious talent transplant before I can pull off the rest.

Watching Knopfler play is a true enjoyment.

Another great song.

Rakim - My Melody - (Note that this is not a music video, but just the song with a bunch of images)

One of the greatest hip-hop songs of all time! Clever and complex song!

And now for something completely different :biggrin:

Yundi Li Brings Power to Liszt's Piano Concerto No.1
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=9451775

Weekend Edition Sunday, April 8, 2007 · It took Franz Liszt 26 years to compose his Concerto for Piano and Orchestra No. 1 in E flat Major.

But his long years of off-and-on composition paid off. The work, which is said to have been modeled after Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, went on to become a staple on the concert calendar.

This week, the National Symphony Orchestra gave three performances of the concerto, featuring pianist Yundi Li. Since winning first prize at the 2000 Chopin International Piano Competition in Warsaw at 18, he has become a much in-demand performer around the world.
Yundi Li performs Franz Liszt's Concerto for Piano and Orchestra No.1 in E flat major.

I haven't followed this thread but I rate some of the songs by Simon and Garfunkel as the best ever. 'Sounds of silence' and 'Bridge over troubled waters' come to my mind. Has their songs been mentioned in this thread?
