Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah (song that inspired this thread) Johnny Cash - Hurt [/ QUOTE ] You should have titled this thread "covers you should hear before you die" and stopped with these 2.

Re: Music Thread: Songs to hear at least once before you die
If there is a heaven, these melodies were written there…..
Flower duet from Lakme, by Leo Delibes Get through the first 1 ½ minutes….It’s just an intro to the main theme. The harmony and lyricism of this piece is ethereal. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CX-6Ej2lnwg Eric Satie, Gymnopdies 1-3 and Gnossienes 1-4 Take the time to sort through the many performances here. The evocative beauty of these pieces stem from the stunning simplicity of their composition. http://www.youtube.com/results?searc...ie&search= Puccini, Madame Butterfly…..”Un bel di, vedromo” The emotion, beauty and power of this aria brings tears to the eyes of those who know the story of Madame Butterfly. And again, from Puccini……..La Boheme……Musetta’s Waltz…”Quando me’n vo” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yrg9Ya5DuoU Ralph Vaughn Williams…..The Lark Ascending. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbcuteYm-EA Vaughn Williams is certainly at the top rung of the list of the best composers of melodies of all time. This is only one (and not the best, IMO, but it’s what I could find) of the many that dwell within his vast body of work. If melodies are your thing, you would be well served exploring his music. Get your hands on a copy of his Sea Symphony (EMI CD7 47212 2). The 2nd movement, with lyrics by Walt Whitman is transcendental. There are so, so many more…………..The above are a few of my favorites. Hope you enjoy them. Myrt......

Neil Young/Crazy Horse - Cortez the Killer - the 9 minute+ version that's in the "Weld" double cd. Disc 2.
I just heard this version the other day. Awesome riffs throughout the song. Great song about the Spanish conquering of the Aztecs.
