Greatest musics ever?
As I approach 50 years of age, I've been revisiting a lot of music I like. My favorite genre of music by far is metal, but very few of my favorite songs are metal. These aren't in any particular order, cuz I wouldn't want to lose any of them. Also, this list is hardly definitive... |
| 1 | Thin Lizzy
Do Anything You Want
Words to live by. Thank you so much, Mr Lynott. |
| 2 | Funkadelic
Standing on the Verge of Getting It On
Why this track doesn't appear on the "Best of" album is utterly unfathomable. |
| 3 | Big Country
The Sailor
The last track from their third album. Rocks just as hard as it is beautiful. |
| 4 | 10cc
The Film of my Love
Yes, it's corny. Yes, it's filled to the brim with juvenile sexual innuendo. Good luck not singing along with that chorus. |
| 5 | Cheap Trick
Everything Works If You Let It
This track was more than 25 years old by the time I heard it, and I've been listening to CT since 1980. It went straight to the top of the Cheap heap. |
| 6 | Shiner
Kevin Is Gone
Shiner didn't really write any boring tracks. And this one has a great driving riff married to hopeful lyrics about escaping one's boring routine. |
| 7 | Les Discrets
L'Échappée
Speaking of lyrics about escaping...Such a beautiful track. |
| 8 | Rush
Red Barchetta
Yet another song about getting away...And getting away with it. |
| 9 | Mr. Bungle
None of Them Knew They Were Robots
Makes me wish I could jitterbug. |
| 10 | Yes
Close to the Edge
18 and a half minutes of nirvana. |
