I'd forgotten about this one, but accidentally came across it again while following youtube links...

Ralph McTell, "Streets of London".

Oh, and let's not forget this one. It probably qualifies to be in the "Saddest Songs" thread as well.

The Rolling Stones, "Angie".

I've been through a few of the posts, but I have not seen anything by Queen, maybe I missed it.

Anyone else like "Somebody to Love"

?

If you look for the link , careful not to end up in the Justin Beaver song.

I'm also increasingly finding myself listening to David Broza :shy:



He writes songs in English, Hebrew, and Spanish :)

I first heard this in my local museum as a kid. It used to play as you crossed through a dark corridor into an even darker adjoining room, all about the 18th century --- known for being really creepy. This song really inspired and captured my imagination back then, I've been addicted to Mozart ever since.

Mozart - Lacrimosa

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1-TrAvp_xs

This one reminds me of my first visit to Jodrell Bank and stargazing with my Dad back in the 90's. That also sparked an interest and fascination with space I have to this day!

Oasis - Don't Look Back In Anger

I'm reposting this because the video title keeps disappearing and I didn't type a separate identification. I think this happens because of downloads to personal devices. If so, it happens regularly. It's an amateur recording of Amy Winehouse performing before a rowdy but friendly crowd in Paris. The picture is a bit unsteady but the audio is decent.

Song: Some Unholy War (Winehouse) Location: Zenith (club), Paris, France, 2007. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5L2NfaoPrg4&feature

^ I've never heard Led do this delta style blues slide guitar before. It sounds pretty authentic (to my ear anyway). Thanks for posting.

If you like the slide you might like this song as well (it's more famous than the previous song): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1yUvdQnERk

Yeah. I believe I've heard this before. You can hear the delta blues influence, but this is definitely more typical Led style rock.

Here's some of the pure stuff. It may be an acquired taste.

Oh I'm no alien to the delta blues. The old Mississippi style slide guitar is something I've become accustomed to in my household because my mom played it a lot, I'm guessing because she heard it a lot in the westerns she watched. Here's one from one of my most favorite artists of all time:

I guess not if you're into Muddy Waters. There's a few postings in this thread of the more popular blues musicians: BB King, Bobby"Blue" Bland but they're fairly rare. Nevertheless I find this thread interesting. I've discovered a lot of music that I've "missed" and it's expanded my horizons. Good talking with you. Keep posting the good stuff. Gotta get some things done before sack time.

The 911? A killer machine; it's got everything.

It was the favorite song in my iPod when I was riding my 4-wheel Schwinn, or my tricycle, but it's definitely not the same thing.

Speaking of driving songs:



Best listened to driving the main road along Hvar island in Croatia. Just because it is the main one, doesn't make it wide nor straight. In some places it is a pure adrenaline.

Ian Tyson's Cliche Song

This country song is absolutely perfect. Most songwriters have to insert a dull, non-cliche line somewhere in their song just to tie the cliches in the song together, or because many writers feel their songs have to have at least one incomprehensible thought, but Tyson achieved true perfection - every single line of this song is so cliche it makes your eyes water!


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NuIKF2D7cw

I had to include Ian Tyson's version since he wrote it, but two of the covers of this song are pretty unforgettable:

Since I posted versions of "A Song for You" in the "Strange or Bizarre Covers" thread, I thought I should post this version, by Leon Russell, Willie Nelson and Ray Charles, here in Best Songs. The occasion was Willie's 70th birthday at New York's Beacon Theater (2003) according to the YT poster.
