OT: Classic Music Playlist

[josie]

YES!!!!! Ubrite. Be careful of Sabel79 though, they're on a rampage

 

I think a lot of these choices are the artist(s)' best known hit or hits rather than their best songs. Gonna sound like a hipster snot here, but I usually have a deeper cut I love more than the big stadium banger that gets radio time. Not that those aren't great/sometimes superior songs, but they just get overplayed. Personal Jesus is Depeche Mode's big ol' Oh Yeah That Band song, great song, but I'd say I like Stripped more, got a good gothy gloomy feel to it. I like to try to pick out the songs that I feel like the band/artist really enjoys performing. 

 

For Led Zeppelin, When the Levee Breaks will always be one of my top 5, often number 1. No Quarter, Going to California, Battle of Evermore, Black Dog are up there. Stairway doesn't crack top 10 for me. 

 

I remember one winter night being absolutely wasted at a party and we all were scream-singing Dazed and Confused at the top of our lungs to help a friend get over a breakup. That was a good time. 

I try not to be that guy who likes to argue with people about matters of personal taste. Like what you like. That song though... legitimately makes me angry. It's a me issue...

It's far from my fav depeche mode song. It's just the one everyone knows. 

[Sabel79]

I'd put Black Celebration over Stripped, but both good songs... as a matter of fact, I'm reversing my earlier statement and saying Black Celebration is the Best Depeche Mode album, now that I think about it...

Link to Rolling Stones 500 greatest Songs list.  Makes for an interesting read.

Voted other on bowie- I'm between Life on Mars and Heroes. I do a lot of crying when Heroes comes on. I've been listening to Black Star quite a lot lately. 

 

Other on The Who- I fu*kin' love Magic Bus. Listen to the version on the live at leeds album (probably my fav album too). So good. Just a good groovy party. I love Tattoo too, it's a silly little song.

First impression: They like Dylan more than I do.

Who?  Love, Reign O'er Me deserves serious consideration.

Hereos is Rolling Stones' highest rated Bowie song.

Yes you are, I feel like I just got biotch slapped here.  :P  It's the song that got me to listen to anything by a band that didn't play instruments.

Yes but "Wham Bam Thank You Maam", has to be the greatest one liner in rock history

I am convinced that there is no one at Rolling Stone magazine that knows anything about music atoll.

So they are as good as documenting music as they are what is happening on college campuses.

No Queen songs on the list???

You would have to tell me.  I don't read that junk.

FWIW, Robert Plant never understood the fascination with Stairway. He always thought Kashmir reflected what others saw in Stairway and would have been his choice for a Zep "anthem". 

[Tondas]

Need to add a classic from a Buffalo band:

I knew I forgot someone. Yes is a favorite. I saw Edgar recently. I also figure the list will grow another 50 songs or so before I’m done.

[GASabresIUFAN]

I added the following

Don Henley - The Boys of Summer

Manfred Mann - Blinded By the Light

Lou Reed - Walk of the Wild Side

Yardbirds - Heart Full of Soul

Yes -Roundabout
