Name one song you really love.

Well, the Brenda Russell penned and performed, "Piano In The Dark" isn't a bad place to start. Here's a live performance:

 

No Matter What - Badfinger

 

Blue - The Jayhawks

 

REM - "Find The River"

 

"Reason to Believe", Rod Stewart's version.

 

"All Along the Watchtower", the Hendrix version.

 

Can't name one other song by the group. But damn I love this.

 

Fortunate Son. Creedence Clearwater Revival.

Clocking in at a little over two minutes it represents everything that’s great about rock music!

 

Eagles - Take the Devil

Fantastic deep cut from their debut album. Glyn Johns sure knows how to get good sounds!

 

Judgement of the Moon and Stars - Joni Mitchell

 

Al Stewart - Year Of The Cat

love the instrumental series of solos - piano, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, saxophone

 

dire straits - once upon a time in the west .....

must've played it at least 100 times in the last 2 months lol

 

Too many. Off the top of my head -Life On Mars. (DB)

 

The Kinks - Waterloo sunset.

 

Thanx to Tanx for posting the Carrie Anne video - great stuff!

 

I'm going to go with Grace Slick / Jefferson Airplane "Hey Fredrick" from Volunteers. It's a perfect maelstrom of noise, a great example of the band at it's height. Grace is her typical crazy, I'm surprised Jorma doesn't get a writing credit for how much his guitar adds to the song. I could have gone with Eskimo Blue Day from the same album, but I flipped a coin.

 

This.

 

Here's an oddball I really like.

This also belongs on the jangle guitar thread. I had forgotten about it. It's perfect.

 

"My Eyes Have Seen You" by the Doors.

 

This looks like a thread with legs but already there are a bunch of songs I don't know.

Thanks everyone. I look forward to being educated!

 

Thanks for posting this. I had forgotten this song, and I was trying to remember the other deep cuts. I think I have my old original debut album, and I really like the less well-known numbers. Sometimes this record gets short shrift, their supposedly not-yet-mature iteration. I like it fine, especially since it's not dominated by Henley. (I'm not going to call out Frye, he's a lot cooler than Don in my book.) Nice to hear Randy with a lead vocal. Listening to the Poco debut, I'm not sure we can even hear him over Richie and Messina.

 

Synchronicity 1 - The Police

 

me too. still so much music to discover !
