Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber

considered by many to be the most beautiful piece of music ever written. voted the "saddest work" ever in classical music, and the highest selling classical piece on itunes. played at the funerals of fdr, jfk, and princess grace.

check it out- Adagio for Strings
If ten minutes is too long for you, skip to 6:00 and just listen for a minute.

I agree it's great, but if you "just listen for a minute" you probably won't get it. I think it's a tune you have to listen to 3 or 4 times before it gets to you - it's very subtle.

You also won't get Whole Lotta Rosie

Wanker.

Do You Realize by The Flaming Lips.

This song is the best love/live life to the fullest song I've ever heard.
After the 500th listen, it still has the same kick it did the first time I heard it.

I'd add Wings for Marie(Pt 1)/10,000 days(Wings Pt 2) to the list of Hyperballad, Lateralus, and Where did you sleep last night.

Maynard singing about his Mom's faith in Wings and in a few APC songs is really touching. I am an atheist, but I really like how he respects his mother's faith and devotion, even though it was really all for nothing. I also think the song "Mary did you know" by Mark Lowry is worth a listen. It has a perspective similar to Hyperballad.

If "Where did you sleep last night?" was any indication of how blues would be reintroduced to my generation, it makes Cobain's death that much more tragic. Hearing those songs revisited would be a hell of a lot better than the trash being passed off as music right now.
