Cugalabanza Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) I think we all know that Tom's #1 choice is "Friday" by Rebecca Black, but I'm curious to hear from some non-geniuses as well. Some of my favorites: “The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carol” – Bob Dylan “The Mercy Seat” – Nick Cave “Famous Blue Raincoat” – Leonard Cohen and a hokey choice, but I still like it... “Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree” – Tony Orlando & Dawn Edited December 23, 2014 by Cugalabanza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dean Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 (edited) Don't most songs tell a story? Even some without lyrics tell a story. Edited December 24, 2014 by The Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cugalabanza Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 Don't most songs tell a story? Even some without lyrics tell a story. Some more than others. I'm talking about songs with a particularly well-told, coherent narrative. Sheesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Desolation Row- Dylan One of my favorite Dylan songs. I love the rich imagery, but after listening over the years, I still can't decipher what it's about- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
