I didn't see either listed, so I felt compelled to add:

"We've Got Tonight" - Bob Seger

"Into Dust" - Mazzy Star

Bonus: "Sometime Around Midnight" - The Airborne Toxic Event

I feel Seger is criminally underrated. Had some soulful, deep meaning hits. I love Turn the Page, and Hollywood Nights.

Another one, this time from two of the best women in Rock N Roll

Alone - Heart

I seem to have this obsession with finding artists/bands later in their career singing their classics. Something about hearing how their voices have aged, and how the meaning of the song seems to change a little bit. When a younger Ann Wilson sings this I think of her trying to find a way to confess her feelings to someone. When I hear an older Ann Wilson sing it, It almost feels like she's trying to speak to someone from her youth that has long been happily married, but it's a Romance she's dwelling on. Not sure if it's just me in that regard.

Resurrecting this thread, to share another fantastic live performance from the Eagles. New Kid in Town is one of the most underrated songs in their catalogue, in my opinion! One of my favorites from a show in 1977. Wish I could've seen them in their prime!

Brian Wilson

The band behind him is just amazing.

Grateful Dead
China Cat Sunflower / I Know You Rider
Europe 1972
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCgZ...StrangeTrip710


The Who
Live at Leeds
Greatest live album of all time. Listen with headphones and make sure it’s turned up loud! And you’ll want to be sitting in a chair with arm rests because you’re gonna need something to grab onto when it starts.

And my favorite comment ever about the Eagles:

Great choices. I just listened to I STILL HAVEN'T FOUND WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR last night and felt in complete agreement.

Maybe not everyone's taste but anytime I hear Sabotage by the Beastie Boys I stop what I'm doing.

He was such a big loss, and it's impossible to replace him, but I do think they have done a serviceable job. Vince Gill is incredibly talented. I would kill for a joint show with The Eagles and Jackson Browne, as he would also be able to fill the massive hole that Glenn Frey's death left.

Huey Lewis & The News - Small World Part 2
Huey Lewis & The News - Slammin

Probably any HL&TN to be honest.

Also:

The Rippingtons - Weekend In Monaco (Live in L.A.)

I could go on and on listing late 80's and early 90's studio jazz that is just :chefskiss:

Good call with Huey Lewis. Side note: when the guy tells Marty he’s just too damn loud in Back to the Future that’s Huey Lewis.

Traveling Wilburys should get some love here too. End of the Line is just fantastic.

Oh yes, I am aware of that cameo, great stuff! I've been a big fan of HL&TN for years and saw them live in 2012. My favorite band of all time, by a long shot.
