deuces wild Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 So what is it?I love all types/genres of music.My favorite may be 'Lady' by Kenny Rogers....the bride/groom dance song at our wedding in 1982.Others include Enya 'Only Time', Sheryl Crow 'If it makes you happy", Momas and the Papas 'Creque Alley', Sinead O'Conner 'If it makes you happy', Bee Gees 'How deep is your love' and the Bealtes 'There are places I remember'.I could go on and on.................. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarecrow Man Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 favourite song eh... Off the top of my head...Don't Call Me White - NOFX"Don't Call Me White"Don't call me white, Don't call me whiteDon't call me white, Don't call me whiteThe connotations wearing my nerves thinCould it be semantics generating the mess we're in?I understand that language breeds stereotypeBut what's the explanation for the malice, for the spite?Don't call me white, Don't call me whiteDon't call me white, Don't call me whiteI wasn't brought here, I was bornCircumsized, categorized, allegiance sworn,Does this mean I have to take such s***For being fairskinned? No!I ain't a part of no conspiracy,I'm just you're average Joe.Don't call me white, Don't call me whiteDon't call me white, Don't call me whiteRepresents everything I hate,The soap shoved in the mouth to cleanse the mindThe vast majority of sheepA buttoned collar, starched and bleachedConstricting veins, the blood flow to the brain slowsThey're so f***in' ordinary whiteDon't call me white, Don't call me whiteDon't call me white, Don't call me whiteWe're better off this waySay what you're gonna saySo go ahead and label meAn a**hole cause I canAccept responsibility, for what I've doneBut not for who I am best line of any song ever!!!Don't call me white, Don't call me whiteDon't call me white, Don't call me whiteDon't call me white, Don't call me whiteAnd Heart of Gold by Neil Young Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expertec Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 I love Heart Of Gold, but I don't think it gets to my shortlist ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgate Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 One that must come near to the top of my list is an old song from the 30/40s called "When it's night time in Italy it's Wednesday over here." Oddly enough it is heard very infrequently these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurdy Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 'Help Save the Youth of America' by Billy Bragg.Help save the youth of AmericaHelp save them from themselvesHelp save the sun-tanned surfer boysAnd the Californian girlsWhen the lights go out in the rest of the WorldWhat do our cousins sayThey're playing in the sun and having fun, fun, funTill Daddy takes the gun awayFrom the Big Church to the Big RiverAnd out to the Shining SeaThis is the Land of OpportunityAnd there's a Monkey Trial on TVA nation with their freezers fullAre dancing in their seatsWhile outside another nationIs sleeping in the streetsDon't tell me the old, old storyTell me the truth this timeIs the Man in the Mask or the IndianAn enemy or a friend of mineHelp save the youth of AmericaHelp save the youth of the worldHelp save the boys in uniformTheir mothers and their faithful girlsListen to the voice of the soldierDown in the killing zoneTalking about the cost of livingAnd the price of bringing him homeThey're already shipping the body bagsDown by the Rio GrandeBut you can fight for democracy at homeAnd not in some foreign landAnd the fate of the great United StatesIs entwined in the fate of us allAnd the incident at Tschernobyl provesThe world we live in is very smallAnd the cities of Europe have burned beforeAnd they may yet burn againAnd if they do I hope you understandThat Washington will burn with themOmaha will burn with themLos Alamos will burn with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-pops- Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 The aria sung by The Queen of the Night at the end of Act 1 of Die Zauberflöte (W A Mozart).or The aria from Puccini's unfinished opera Turandot. This is the same opera that Nessun Dorma comes from but it is totally different in character. The singer preferably is Eva Turner. Puccini died from lung cancer (result from excessive smoking) before he could finish the opera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurdy Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 At that stage I dismissed PF along with the rest of my generation as boring old farts.Are they something you could into in retrospect...or did you have to be there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micken Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 Song: "Layla" by Derek & the Dominos.Music: "Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini" by Rachmaninov.The last bit of the former and most of the latter can have a significant effect on changing one's mood.If you want something more contemporary try anything from Bruce Springsteen's "Devils & Dust" album, stunning :serenade: :serenade: :serenade: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deuces wild Posted July 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 I just noticed I quoted the wrong Sinead O'Connor song in my original post to this thread...it should be "Nothing compares to you".That Bocelli song is indeed beautiful. I also like "The Prayer" duet with Celine Dion and his rendition of "Ave Maria". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dadyassa Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Funny when you read the posts it jogs your memory to songs you like.I also like " Nothing compares to you "Georgia by Ray CharlesLike a prayer by MadonnaAnd loads more, too many to list, I like blues and soul best, but enjoy jazz groove, some opera, in fact most music except the beatles, well overated, but I like some of the cover versions by Ray Charles.

deuces wild Posted July 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 A favorite that brings back great college memories about a sweetheart I was dating ----"Color my world" by Chicago. (Don't tell my wife. :rolleyes: )I am not a great fan of Dylan but how can you beat "Hurricane"?I also like Neil Young "Southern Man".I guess it is really tough to name just one time all time favorite song. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thos Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 I must be an oddity because I like much of Andrew Lloyd Webber's early stuff. Some of music in The Phantom is superb. Music of the Night and The Phantom of the Opera, I can listen to over and over again.Also Simon and Garfunkel's Bridge over Troubled Water is high on my list.Thos. :whistling1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
