Peter Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Because others already have posted Stairway to Heaven, I will go with the Beatles. There is so much to choose from. I am going to go with a song that some may not consider is their best, but it is my favorite: Here Comes the Sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're a bit mixed up on the Beatles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buftex Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 "Sympathy For the Devil" by the Rolling Stones...it still sounds tastefully nasty, 40 years later, and contains the best guitar licks Keith Richards ever recorded...if you ever have the patience to watch the Jean Luc Goodard film (just skip through all the political bs interspersed throughout, to the Stones stuff), of the same name, it documents the band writing the song, in the studio...it starts out as sort of a simple, plantiff folk song (not unlike an earl Dylan song) and evolves into something far more complex.

If you follow or sing along with the lyrics, it's epic. The jangles, the drum.... Mick in full-yell "I shouted out 'Who killed the Kennedys?!' when after all, it was you and me."

Buftex Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Good one, although my personnal favorite is "Give me Shelter" 831848[/snapback] Yeah, I almost said that too, but since we could only pick one... I just saw the Stones a couple weeks ago, and "Sympathy For the Devil" still sounds great...love "Gimmie Shelter" and "Midnight Rambler" as well. I guess I give "SFTD" a slight nod, because it is more original than the others, and has so much texture. The other two are amazing songs, but variations on standard blues. I also have to mention "Stray Cat Blues"...hard to believe how nasty the Stones could really sound in their heyday. At the risk of inspiring a bunch of responses about how old the Stones are, and how much they suck, I would put their output from 1968-1973 with any musical act...to me, it more than makes up for what ever crap they put out the last 20 years or so...
