Re: Music Thread: Songs to hear at least once before you die

Just to clarify, is this thread about relatively unknown songs to check out or just anything in general? Seeing replies with international megahits like Free Bird and Yesterday just make me think, "Yeah, no [censored]."

I don't have the answer, but since I'm the one that mentioned "Yesterday", I can back it up by saying I think it's one of the best melodies ever written and warrants inclusion on this list. If the thread is about unknown songs/compositions then I'd remove it, but this thread would probably be less fun and full of songs that a lot of people:
1 - would still know even if you think it's a secret
2 - would not know but think is sh*t music
With that said, I would love to be introduced to a great song that I've never heard.

Well yeah, I think Yesterday easily deserves to be included, I just felt like a lot of the suggestions were so obvious/famous that everyone already has heard them. Not picking on you in particular, as a lot of people posted some of the most famous songs ever written.
That said, this thread got me to do something I've been meaning to do for a while -- listen to Sigur Ros. Man they're good.
I might put in a little research of my song library and add my two cents to this tomorrow.
