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!

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

Theoretical physicists hate ANYTHING that keeps their mind from wandering/wondering. Oooo, is it wondering or wandering? They're so so cryptic, those Beatles.

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.

I've played blues guitar, then was in a heavy metal band as a teenager, and then later went to school for music and played jazz guitar for awhile. After that I played classical guitar for about 10 years. I listen to all kinds of music and am the ultimate music snob.

And *still* whenever a Led Zepplin song comes up on Jango, I think that they are the best band of all time, and despite it's overplayedness and abuse by guitarists everywhere, "Stairway to Heaven" is still the best rock song of all time, in composition and in execution. I'm sure it's already been posted.

Possibly Tom Sawyer, by Rush.
Or 2112.
Any Rush song is pretty epic.

TOM SAWYER:
2112:
