Since you requested a song my best guess would be "My Sharona". When this song was released June 1979 I was 14 and it crushed me. Currently I considered it a Top 10 all time pop song of the 1970's! With albums Rare Silk New Weave(1983) might have been my first jazz album(Think Of One/Marsalis?) This album gets better with age! |
My collection is pretty large, and so much of it I place on pretty equal footing as far as quality, so it would be almost impossible to pick out one "most played song". I will break it up among the 3 different genres I listen to. Here are my best guesses: Prog: YES - Close to the Edge, or King Crimson - Larks' Tongues in Aspic, or Banco - Io Sono Nato Libero Jazz: Mahavishnu Orchestra - Eternity's Breath (Parts I and II), or maybe: Return to Forever - Duel of the Jester and the Tyrant (Parts I and II) Classical: Bartok - Music for strings, percussion and celesta, or maybe: Elliott Carter- Concerto for Orchestra |
group wise because of the music and sound quality - many others if not factoring in sound quality. alan parsons, csn, dire straights, dead can dance, depeche mode, eagles,fleetwood mac, elton john , carol king, pink floyd, little feat, joni mitchell, sarah mclachlan, tom petty, rem, sting, supertramp, till tuesday, neil young and i've missed many more. |
Great nominee @cmjones! Another one by John is "Lipstick Sunset", with a glorious guitar solo by Ry Cooder. When I saw the two perform the song live (as members of Little Village), time stood still. I had an out-of-body experience, like but not as transcendental as when I listen to J.S. Bach's Concerto for 4 Harpsichords And Orchestra. |
Yeah -- Cream's recordings of Spoonful really do it for me. Clapton's solos on the band's two recordings of the tune are a major reason why I took up electric guitar. They still send me to paradise. I went to every record store in L.A. to locate a British pressing so I could have that version at my beck-and-call (it wasn't on the Domestic Fresh Cream). ...By the same token, the British Fresh Cream didn't have I Feel Free, because the British record companies always seemed to want to force you to buy a 45 single of the hit you were hearing on the radio. |
I'm not sure what song but I'm certain it's on Exile On Main Street by the Rolling Stones I've purchased that recording on every format since 8 track to hi-res streaming and everything in between I've since tossed the 8 track and cassette but still have my origianl vinyl purshaed in 1980, a 180 gram vinyl and at least 3 versions of the CD, deluxe, remastered, etc The original digitial quality was atorcious and currently enjoy it on Qobuz and Tidal, very worthy playback quality In 2018 I saw a show advertised in NOLA and Ryan Adams and an all star band was going to do a complete reproduction in sequence of Exile, a Don Was production It occurred to me then that without a doubt that's was the most played album, by far, for me since the early 80s and I couldn't think of a show more tailor made for my tastes, interests and musical history It was a perfect weekend get away and selfish interests of the highest order In my opinion Das Was has the midas touch when it comes to these types of tribute shows, not to mention he has a deep history of production work with the Stones Show was absolute top shelf and the band skipped playing Sweet Black Angel, for the same reasons the Stones have dropped Brown Sugar from their current tour I understand the sentiment and the position but despise revisionist history and felt a bit cheated So the song I'm not sure but it's one of the 18 on Exile and if you put a gun to my head and said which one it would be 1. Sweet Virginia 2. Let It Loose 3. Tumbling Dice 4. Shake Your Hips 5. Casino Boogie 6. Happy 7. On Down The Line 8. Rip This Joint 9. Stop Breking Down 10. Shine a Light 11. Torn and Frayed 12. Loving Cup 13. Sweet Black Angel 14. Rocks Off 15. Soul Suvivor 16. Ventilator Blues 17. Turd on the Run 18. I Just Want To See His Face Great thread and thanks for the run down memory lane Happy listening and enjoy the journey |
Can't leave out the sublime song "Love Hurts". Written by Boudleaux Bryant, originally recorded by The fantastic Every Brothers. Many mistakenly believe the song to have been written by Gram Parsons, who recorded it in a duet with Emmylou Harris for his second album. At the tribute show to Parsons held at The Universal Amphitheater in 2004, I listened in horror and disbelief as Keith Richards' absolutely butchered the song, try as his duet-partner Norah Jones (whom Richards' was embarrassing with his lecherous behaviour towards her) did to make it through the song with some dignity left intact. An utter disgrace. Why anyone still respects the clown (No Depression described his performance as resembling a Saturday Night Live parody) is a complete mystery to me. |
What a fabulous compilation recording could be made from this music! For context, "in '65 I was 17; in '69 I was 21." "Spoonful" - Great rendering of one of those old American Blues that was Cream's trademark. Bruce was underappreciated as a vocalist. Chet Baker. West Coast Cool. Like many of his time and genre, left us too soon. "Everything Happens To Me." "Today" - Marty Balin...another underappreciated vocalist. Surrealistic Pillow easily makes my best albums of all time list. Patricia Barber. Vocalist/pianist. Very unique style. Have most of her albums, including Cafe Blue. "A Taste Of Honey" is one of her many standouts. "It's A Shame" is my fave. "What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted" - whoa, there's a good one. Jimmy Ruffin, brother of the yet another great vocalist - original lead singer of the Temptations, David Ruffin. Then there's that nod to Dire Straits' "Industrial Disease." I'm a big Dire Straits fan. I put you at being born around say '61-'63 if you were in college at the time of the Love Over Gold LP release. I'm reminded that lately I've been listening to an all-time favorite of mine released in 1962 by maybe my all time favorite duo, the late great Everly Brothers. It is "Crying In The Rain." Cheers |
Spoonful is a good choice 1manomet. I listen to both discs of Wheels of Fire frequently, more often the studio disc, but that live version of Spoonful never gets old, the back and forth between Bruce and Clapton so powerful and exciting. Jack Bruce was a force of nature on bass guitar, and what a voice. |
The Gathering- Travel (Live) https://youtu.be/lRhPS-5YhKQ The Gathering is an awesome "melancholy metal" band from the Netherlands with a female front. Best voice in the business. Anneka van Giersbergen. Listen, watch, see if you don't agree. Some call her the "Tinker Bell of Metal." |
*s* Any 'new' addition/revision to 'the system' generally gets The Pentangle's "Sweet Child" from a very early purchased LP.... ...old habits can still raise the hair remaining on one's head... ;) Fav response in a movie....title forgotten, but the two scenes imprinted in some neurons still make me smile... Her, with a wry sly wtf 'tude: "I really like your 'friends'...." His snark smart-*ss retort: "Yeah, I made them myself...." |
