What is the Best Saxophone Song?

[OmCheeto]

Oops, sorry. My mistake, I came late to this game.

You could always start on page 1.
Though many of the links have dropped out.
I'd love to be given the key to this thread, and reconnect all the lost songs.
I think I've posted on many occasions that I knew I would like this place called "Physics Forums" when I saw that the second song listed was by Leo Kottke.

I would learn later that Evo doesn't have good taste in just music, she also has good taste in books.

hmmm... I should post some music...

Somebody less lazy than me should create a youtube playlist of all songs listed here.

I like this instrumental track. I was very surprised a few years back to learn that it is incorrect to refer to such a thing as a "song." FM DJ's always talk about "9 songs in a row" and one or two of them might be instrumentals.

Yeah, I learned that in high school. Gotta have a singer. Or at least be covering something that was originally sung. An instrumental is called a "piece" or a "work."

As a practicality type of person, I have always said that, retired people should be put to work.

What better job, for an oldster, then to put puzzles back together.

Argh!

Must post another best song ever...

Steely Dan!

Janis was good. Couldn't get to her 28th birthday, like so many other good ones.

Yes, Kashmir...I got some advise for you Newton, seeing as you're a young 19 year old guy. If you want to make it with a woman, all you need to do is pop in Zeppelin 4 in the 8-track of your Pontiac, and make sure to begin the dinner date by ordering her a coke with no ice...

Tell me how it went

 

[WannabeNewton]

I can try but I'd probably just end up telling her she's not as pretty as Robert Plant...xD. P.S. I'm not 19 yet, still 18 and a long ways to go before 19 T_T

To DiracPool's excellent advice, I can add only one more tip: grow a mullet.

Well, don't take my word for it Newton, just ask Vic Damone...

I've heard this song about 100 times on a cheezy little AM radio at work. I always thought it was a pretty little song, with Sting singing in the background. I just heard, and watched the video the other day, figured out what the words were, and decided that it is one of the saddest songs I've ever run across.

I had the original 45rpm of this back in 1966. The flip side was The City Never Sleeps At Night. The link claims that "Boots" was on the A side. However, I seem to remember "Boots" being on the B side. I remember that because I liked "Boots" the best and wondered why it was on the B side. I guess it could have been changed once "Boots" became a hit.

The best Beck song I'd never heard.

Well, yes, I've been holding out on this one, but now I'm old and tired, and want to leave my (legacy) vote for the absolute best album of all time. And, yes, I know its probably been posted here before, and its very cliche, but just because something is popular doesn't mean it's not the "best song ever".



Be sure to put the 1080p option on, not for the nonexistent video but the music quality bumps up a bit.

Incidently, I own every pink floyd album (of course), but the one I have listened to most over the last 20 years is Atom Heart Mother (AHM). For some reason I can just listen to that over and over and not get bored with it. In fact, I used to put myself to sleep with it for many years when I was younger, Funky dung, breasts milky, fat old sun...Who came up with this stuff, but it worked.

In any case, Dark side of the moon is the best album ever made. I only listen to it occasionally, like taking out the fine China on special occasions. AHM, on the other hand, is like the cheap dining utensils you use every day...Am I getting my analogies through here?

 

[DiracPool]

As a songwriter, its hard not to judge songs when they come on the air or wherever they may come. Much of the time when I listen to (especially a recent) song on the radio, etc., I'm hypercritical of the arrangement and especially the vocals/lyrics. I can hardly enjoy any song because I'm "mentalizing" how it could have been done better.

What makes Dark side of the Moon the best album of all time is that I don't have to think bout nuttin', it can't be any better than what it is. and that is a relief to my psuedo-psychotic want to "fix" everything.

 

[TurtleMeister]

The Dark Side Of The Moon was the only music I listened to loud. It appears that this album will be timeless.

Interesting. Now you've got me wondering what ever happened to my old 45s.

When I made this thread, I was thinking of music I liked. Then after I saw what was being posted, I realized that what was considered good varied WILDLY and that I needed to let go.

I'm not sure what you mean Evo, can you elaborate?

I've learned to appreciate different kinds of music that I wouldn't have without your thread.
