Perfect songs . . . ever time . . .
 
What's a song that never goes old, always hits perfectly, and leaves you in awe every single time.

Let It Be - The Beatles

I love More Than a Feeling by Boston. I think it just perfectly encapsulates Rock and Roll from that era. Brad Delp had a killer voice, the double tracked guitar, just everything about the song, every time I listen to it sounds perfect.

John1941 12-24-2021 01:16 PM

Here's a list of possibilities:

Cream - White Room
The Beatles - A Day In The Life, I Want You
Big Star - Thirteen
Vince Guaraldi Trio - Skating
The Kinks - Waterloo Sunset
The Who - The Seeker

Perfect song?
 
Perfect ones? Tall task and seems like I'll forget some obvious ones:

1) "Stardust" sung by Nat Cole
2) "Here at the Western World" Steely Dan
3) "Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters" Elton John
4) "Sanctify Yourself" Simple Minds

Merry Christmas! Trent King

ClementeFanOh 12-24-2021 01:38 PM

Perfect songs?
 
There I go! Forgot one already:)

5) "Into the Mystic" Van Morrison

Trent King

edtiques 12-24-2021 01:39 PM

For me it would be B.B. King's "The Thrill Is Gone".

100% on Glen Campbell

My wife picked our wedding song: Elvis "Fools Rush In." We got dozens of compliments for it.

I would also recommend:
1) "Much to Young to Feel This Damn Old" Garth Brooks
2) "A Kiss to Build a Dream On" by Louis Armstrong
3) "Blues Man" by Hank Williams Jr
4) "Feelin' Good Again" by Robert Earl Keen
5) "Guitar Town" Steve Earle
6) "Harlem River Blues" Justin Townes Earle
7) "Sunday Morning Coming Down" Johnny Cash
8) "Fire and Rain" by James Taylor

Stardust, written by Hoagy Carmichael, is one of the truly great pop standards of the 20th century.

Sam Cooke, Don Mclean, and the Everly Brothers are great choices. I will have to look up "Tracks of my tears" and also "Walking in the rain"

Dock of the bay, Stand by me, Ain't no sunshine, and Simple man are great choices. I will need to look up a couple others.

We saw James Taylor in concert a few weeks back. I'd never been a huge fan but my wife loves him. I have to admit he won me over with a terrific show and Going To Carolina was one of the highlights.


BTW...any Ray Charles song is a winner for me.

The Bandstand rendition of "Get a Job" does not hold a candle to the Marcels.

An almost perfect song.

Enter Sandman- Metallica
Comfortably Numb- Pink Floyd

Peter_Spaeth 12-26-2021 11:14 AM

Agree with The Weight. The newer version with Ringo and a cast of thousands is well done, and Mavis and Pops Staples were great in the Last Waltz version, but the original -- with that ethereal piano in the choruses -- is unsurpassable.

I'm a Man was originally the Spencer Davis Group, also a compelling performance.

JollyElm 12-29-2021 04:57 PM

I love threads like this, the ones that send you straight to youtube in the hopes of finding a 'new' awesome tune to add to your playlist. Like with everyone else, many of my faves have already been listed, but here's a sweet group of tunes...

1. Bring It On Home To Me Sam Cooke (The growing emotion just hits you in the face.)
2. Biggest Part Of Me Ambrosia (Man, the build up that leads you into singing, "Make a wish, bay-beeeeee...." out loud. Phenomenal!!)
3. My Maria B.W. Stevenson (The opening guitar licks just grab you, and it's impossible NOT to start trying to hit those high notes!!!)
4. Down In A Hole Alice In Chains (Although hauntingly sad now due to Layne Staley's impending death, the Unplugged version is simply magnificent.)
5. Roll Me Away Bob Seger (A ton of great moments as we're taken along on the journey of his soul.)
6. Let Me Take You Home Tonight Boston (Gets a lot less ink than the other songs on the album, but a truly beautiful plea from Brad Delp.)
7. Wot's...Uh The Deal David Gilmour (He slays this slow tune during 'Live In Gdańsk,' leaving you wondering why Floyd never played it live. I mean he frickin' refers to alchemy in a love song, for cripes sake!)
8. Another Park, Another Sunday The Doobie Brothers (I can't possibly get enough of this somber song.)
9. Over You Bryan Ferry & Roxy Music (If the raw emotion of a girl leaving you was ever perfectly set to music, this would be it.)
10. Try And Love Again Eagles (A very little known song that has Randy Meisner hitting it out of the park.)
11. Run Runaway Slade (Leave your car windows open, so everyone can hear you belting this one out!!)
12. Run Collective Soul (See #8.)
13. Operator (That's Not The Way It Feels) Jim Croce (Is there anyone who hears this song and DOESN'T believe Croce is actually making that call??)
14. Ooh La La Ronnie Lane (With Lane singing this one on his 'BBC Sessions,' you can't understand why The Faces didn't use his vocal on it way back when.)
15. These Arms Of Mine Otis Redding (C'mon, darling, please come back to me!!!)
16. Let Me Roll It Paul McCartney & Wings (Just a great live version of a song!)
17. Since You Been Gone Rainbow (See #11.)
18. You Keep Runnin' Away 38 Special (Saw them do this song at a fair out here and was hooked!!)
19. Summer Breeze Seals & Croft (Nothing needs to be said about this one.)
20. I've Been Searching So Long Chicago (A growing, melodious song that seems to joyfully stretch on forever...)

I'm gonna go against the grain. Here's a post about a record that is primarily spoken-word.

Pictured below is an album cover with Babe Ruth. Outside of a vintage card forum, it would make zero sense. Hopefully, a few of you will appreciate a brief detour...away from music...over to an album. LOL

The record has some background music to support narration. During the portion devoted to of Babe Ruth, Take Me Out To The Ball Game plays in the background. Since that song resonates with me, it's what I'll use to bring the thread back to music.

Great thread. Carry on.

All great songs.

The original Modern Lovers were such a great underrated band

The band kicking in as Frank goes for the low note in "pray" is one of my favorites!

Sinatra was amazing. There are easily 10+ songs of his that would make my list of "favorites."

Yep. I can't find it now but there is a great acoustic version with just Greg and Dickie, or was, on You Tube. The studio recording is fabulous too, both of them at their peak. I know it's hip among the self-styled cognoscenti like Rolling Stone (who at one point named Duane the second best guitarist ever) to think their work before Duane died was better, but to me this song disproves it.

Cliff Bowman 01-10-2022 05:14 PM

I don’t know if either have already been mentioned but the two in my mind are I’m Not In Love by 10cc and I Can See Clearly Now by Johnny Nash.

Five thumbs up for George Strait. My mother was a huge fan. I saw him in concert in Montana when I was 6. We went to the premiere of his movie and got posters. And then she bought the box set.

Great selections!

That tune from Dave is one of his best. Forgotten all about it until you mentioned it. I hit up Youtube to hear it again.

familytoad 01-18-2022 08:31 PM

Spotify shuffle
 
There are about a thousand songs that I have on shuffle and just play continuously.
Then I check out the suggestions on this thread and the other music threads.

I really appreciate that you guys dig past the Gold record hits that have been overplayed. Even those are sometimes worth hearing a few thousand times more but I think you aficionados know what I mean.

Tonight as I was “shuffling” I heard these two back to back and thought of this thread :

Al Stewart - “Year of the Cat”
Todd Rundgren - “Hello it’s Me”

Yes they were hits, but these songs are perfect every note.
I don’t think I really care for any other stuff by either artist. But these songs…Home Runs!

Whaddya think?

orioles70 01-18-2022 09:36 PM

Com'n Brian, you don't like "Just One Victory" or "We Gotta Get You a Woman"?

Or check out some off Rundgren's stuff when he was with the group Utopia.

familytoad 01-19-2022 10:18 AM

Ha
 
I’m willing to dig deeper for Rundgren.
I’d be surprised if the same artist who crafted “hello it’s me” didn’t have a few others that I would enjoy.

But the song “we gotta get you a woman” sounds like something my junior high school buddies said to my pimply faced self when I tried showing them my 1975 Topps collection. ;)

Now Al Stewart, cmon “Time Passages” ? No thank you.

Well, just check Rundgren out a bit more, you may be surprised. And personally don't know this for certain, but understand on his early solo albums at least, they were true solo albums. Supposedly he produced the albums himself, played all the instruments, and sang every single part. If you listen to many of his songs, you can hear how complex they are. And if he truly did them entirely himself, you can only wonder how many different tracks he must have recorded and put down for some of them.

Let's not confuse Todd Rundgren with Steve Winwood.

Did I mix the two up?

I take back what I said, or at least alter it. Did a little checking and he didn't play and sing everything on every one of his solo songs. On the album Runt he did have some bass and drum help. On other records/songs he'd occasionally bring in a lead guitarist, but still the bulk of the playing and singing was just him apparently..

It's a figure of speech not meant literally. In other words, sure Rundgren may have been versatile, but the unquestionable master in that category is Winwood.

Perfect Songs
 
This is a great thread... I used this in class today to get the students to talk as an "icebreaker" activity. Of course, I did not recognize most of the songs that they listed, but did have Queen and Journey represented by the students. I played Let's Groove by Earth, Wind, and Fire, then topped it off with Blue Moon by the Marcels.
Thanks
Steve

Sultans of Swing - Dire Straits. Specifically the version I linked below

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Pa9x9fZBtY

Knopfler's work on the guitar is incredible as always, but that druming is incredible as well!

I love Apple Music. Every week it gives you several “for you” mixes from your library. Here’s some examples from last week.
