[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] there has to be some older country too, but I can't think of one right now [/ QUOTE ] 'Burning Ring of Fire' Johnny Cash. [/ QUOTE ] Will the Circle Be Unbroken by the Carter Family is one not a lot of people on this site would even know. But I bet if they sit down and listen to it in the right setting they'd be moved. [/ QUOTE ] Really prefer the version that the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band did on Volume II of Will the Circle Be Unbroken, with Johnny Cash taking the first verse. May be a little too percussion heavy, but still awesome. Hell, the Grit's version on volumes I (which is basically the Carter family version) and III are awesome too. Other genre defying classics that come to mind: Nuthin But a G-Thang King of the Road Sultans of Swing

Exploding Hearts - "I'm a Pretender". Another song not too many people may know, but I sincerely believe this would have been a hit in any era. Its sound is timeless. [/ QUOTE ] Downloaded this out of curiosity. Cant say I agree with you on everyone liking it.

Re: Instant Classics

I'm not sure how much love this will get from people who don't care for the genre, but I'll put in a vote for one of my personal favorites: Foo Fighters - Everlong. [/ QUOTE ] This one is in my rather short playlist right now too. Great tune. I think some are taking this thread more seriously than others. The songs I listed just fit my ear really well and I could listen to them virtually ad nauseum, but I could see how most of them won't go down in lore as "classics". That said, by virtue of overexposure or maybe I just don't like the sound, a lot of the classics listed aren't songs that I particularly care for.

I think this would have been popular in the 50s, and many eras since.
