Re: Music Thread: Songs to hear at least once before you die
- Roy Buchanan thankfully doesn't sing on this one but his guitar hits just about every note right in this version of Down By the River. The sick thing is this might be the second best version out there (I got another what may be better version from my brother's massive CD collection).
- Despite a downwardly spiraling career (although I highly recommend her first two solo albums) I still have great memories of Maria Mckee singing Shelter from her Lone Justice days in a mid-eighties Providence, Rhode Island show and in an acoustic set in a Hollywood semi-dive last year. More Maria in a electrifying live show from her Lone Justice days. Edited to add To Miss Someone from her first solo album. - Cowboy Junkies have no hits but a consistent body of work stretching back 18 years or so. If I had to pick one song it might be Sun Comes Up, It's Tuesday Morning. Nah, can't pick one, so check out Midguided Angel from their consensus best album Trinity Sessions (recorded in one day in an empty church). ~ Rick

Re: Music Thread: Songs to hear at least once before you die
Some of these tracks are pretty standard posted here, I would feel very guilty if I wasted peoples time listening to them if thy were on their deathbed- here are a few tracks that give me chills and cant see other people disliking
I 3rd Lateralus (As it is the Pinnacle Of rock music) And 3rd Hyperballad (The most flawless and universal track in a pretty difficult genre) Hendrix- Little wing (this is pretty much as perfect as music gets) Steve Vai- for the love of god (If people are only going to listen to 1 instrumental guitar track it should be this, amazing) Radiohead- Street Spirit (Pure emotion, THE radiohead track, slightly tipping You and whose army) Nancy Sinatra- Bang Bang (Beautiful) Pink Floyd- Vera (There is just something about this track, pure emotion)

Re: Music Thread: Songs to hear at least once before you die
This thread is incredible.
A few quick picks: Steve Vai - Bangkok/Fire Garden Suite Squarepusher - Port Rhombus Steve Reich - Electric Counterpoint - Fast 1 Gustav Holst - The Planets Suite Dizzy Gillespie - A Night in Tunisia Iron & Wine - Naked as We Came Tool - Forty six & two, The Pot Led Zeppelin - Fool in the Rain Aphex Twin - Flim, 4 Dave Brubeck Quartet - Take Five Thats enough for now... I read a few pages, so I tried not to list anything already mentioned. Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings would definitely have been my #1 choice. edit: Also, I recently discovered Jeff Buckley, and it saddens me that I only now found his music.
