Foo - The best songs ever made

I will start with Sweet Child of Mine by Guns 'N' Roses

only one song per post, and you can't post right after yourself.
Kind of like the song name game, but you have to post great songs, instead of just songs.
Got it? Good

Edit: At least one word has to match the song title above it

Since you specified "grate" songs our choices would seem to be limited to songs about nutmeg, lemon peels, carrots or cheese. No matter. Here is my favorite cheese song.

The Cheese Song

I went into a restaurant last night to have supper
There were things that were in season and things that were out.
We had cow's head and cod's head and sheep's head and liver
And then after that we had ice-cream and stout.

And when I had tasted of everything
I told the waiter to go out and bring....

Cheese in, cheese in, waiter bring the cheese in do.

The waiter brought the cheese in, it was coloured like the rainbow;
Red and Yellow and Blue
The waiter broght the cheese in and the cheese was sneezing.
Sneezing like a cockatoo.

And when I walked out that restaurant, that little piece of Gorgonzolla walked out too.

It followed me home and it sat on the doorstep
It threatened to kill me if I shut it out.
So I opened the door and it ran in the lobby,

And Pa with the fender gave that cheese a clout.

Spoken: Pa hit it with the fender, Ma threw it down the drain. And when that cheese came back in the morning it was wearing a panama.

So we telephoned down for a couple of policemen,
And our lodger Jim The Militia came in,
He stabbed it three times with the neck of his bayonet,
And it ran in the garden behind the dustbin.

And when the rain was pouring down hard,
You could hear the cheese signing in our back yard:

"Everybody's loved by someone,
Everybody knows it's true.
Red cheese, green cheese, blue cheese, yellow cheese,
They're all loved it's true.

But...!

I'm a bit of Gorgonzola,
Sitting on the back yard wall,
And I seem to be the only bit of cheese,
That nobody loves at all.

Our next door neighbour came into the garden,
Smoking a penny cigar with great pride.
The cheese gave a gasp and it shouted, "I'm choking!"
And gave a few flip-flops and lay down and died....

Epilogue:

If you go down Paddington Green,
There's a tombstone to be seen.
And the words are neat indeed in memory of our cheese:

It fought against Russia, it fought 'gainst Japan,
It fought like a cheese and it died like a man,
Now it's buried in the ground with the grass growing round
And that's the end of the Gorgonzolla cheese.

I guess no one read your last sentence.

Cheese Log - Brak

The Gratest song eva!
Bum bum bum...

Cheese log, cheese log
Cylindrical and yellow.
Cheese log, cheese log
Makes Brak a happy fellow!

Cheese log, cheese log you're my friend.
Though you go straight to my rear end.
It's not your fault that I get bloated,
I ate too many cheese logs once and I exploded!
But oh how I love cheese looooooooooooooooooooooooogs!

that was a very important line to have been forgotten in first post. :rolleyes:

Queensryke - Silent lucidity

Silent Running - Mike and the Mechanics

I will start with Sweet Child of Mine by Guns 'N' Roses

To quote Axl Rose himself-

"It's not every day you hear that song. Oh wait, yes it is."

For me, there are way too many songs I love to just name a few. I can name off bands, like Metallica before 2000, Steppenwolf, Rush, AC/DC, anything with Dio, some Led Zeppelin with Stairway to Heaven absolutely excluded, Jimi Hendrix, but you can't chose individual songs. That's not possible.

It flip flops for me. Right now I'd say Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen.

Whiskey in the Jar - Metallica


When I first heard that song, I knew it was going to be epic.

I like the Thin Lizzy version more.

Eagles - Witchy Woman

Raven Hair and Ruby lips
Sparks fly from her finger tips
echoed voices in the night
she's a restless spirit on an endless flight

(Something like that anyway...been a few years since I've heard the song)

Jimi Hendrix, Fire

Pfh. Classic rock this, mainstream that.

What about deep spiritual sounding new age music. Like the legendary music project Enigma. Sadeness or the Principles of Lust ought to be considered a very well composed song I think. http://youtube.com/watch?v=CLi-bELb_M0

The flutes, the background beats, the gregorian chants, ah. Lyrics goes as followed:

(Curly M.C./F.Gregorian/David Fairstein)
.
Procedamus in pace
In nomine Christi, Amen
.
*** angelis et pueris,
fideles inveniamur
.
Attollite portas, principes, vestras
et elevamini, portae aeternales
et introibit rex gloriae
Qius est iste Rex glorie?
.
Sade dit moi
Sade donne moi
.
Procedamus in pace
In nomine Christi, Amen
.
Sade dit moi
qu'est ce que tu vas chercher ?
le bien par le mal
la vertu par le vice
Sade dit moi pourquoi l' 'evangile du mal ?
quelle est ta religion ou` sont tes fide`les ?
Si tu es contre Dieu, tu es contre l'homme
.
Sade dit moi pourquoi le sang pour le plaisir ?
Le plaisir sans l'amour.
N'y a t'il plus de sentiment dans le culte de l'homme ?
.
Sade es-tu diabolique ou divin?
.
Sade dit moi
Hosanna
Sade donne moi
Hosanna
Sade dit moi
Hosanna
Sade donne moi
Hosanna
.
In nomine Christi, Amen

(Translation:
Let us go forth in peace
In the name of Christ, So be it
.
We shall find the faithful in the
company of angels and children
.
Lift up ye heads o ye glorious gates,
and be ye lifted up ye everlasting doors,
and the king of glory shall come in.
Who is the king of glory?
.
Sade tell me
Sade give me
.
Shall we proceed in peace
In the name of Christ, Amen
.
Sade tell me
what is it that you seek?
The rightness of wrong
The virtue of vice
Sade tell me why the Gospel of evil ?
What is your religion? Where are your faithful?
If you are against God, you are against man
.
Sade tell me why blood for pleasure?
Pleasure without love?
Is there no longer any feeling in man's Faith?
.
Sade are you diabolical or divine? .
Sade tell me
Hosanna
Sade give me
Hosanna
Sade tell me
Hosanna
Sade give me
Hosanna
.
In the name of Christ, Amen )

I like the Thin Lizzy version more.

There's not enough energy in TL's version though!

hot for teacher

More Than A Feeling - Boston
Actually anything by Boston. It would even be nice if there was a whole station devoted to Boston. I would play it all day on the job at Goodwill!

I need to pick in one a few generes..

"Immigrant Song" - Led Zep
"Hypnotize" - Biggie Smalls
"Dancing Queen" - Abba :D..

Duel Of The Jester And The Tyrant- Return to Forever

listen to it here;

http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=5305

Its a young Al Di Meola, Stanly Clark, Chick Corea and Lenny White.

Or how about Three Minute Warning by Liquid tension Experiment?

So many genres so much music out there. There is no best!

Philosophy of the World - The Shags

2 very viable suggestions.

WHO?? MIKE JONNNNES, who? MIKE JOAAAANNEEES.

Badd (http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ko_ulOtDiuc)

Or. The coolest song ever.

Toto Africa, 80s FTW. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=K3mRy9Q_Ofk)

I have spoken, and so it is true, accordeth to I, the one, the only, pinky jon jon. Kbai.

Janie Jones - The Clash

Won't Get Fooled Again - The Who
Don't Drink the Water - Dave Matthews Band

prolly 2 of the best. or worst. :)

Rich Girl by Daryl Hall and John Oates....hands down, no question the best song ever.

Take Me Home Country Roads - Toots and the Maytals

Rebel Without a Pause - Public Enemy

(Last one, I promise. Damn, I'm old.)

Layla - Eric Clapton

Tough call, I've been listening to a ton of classic rock lately.

Just saw VH last night in Indy! They rocked, closed with Jump, not my first choice, but had the house rockin'.

Sweet Emotion - Aerosmith

Call Me The Breeze, Lynyrd Skynyrd

"Ticking away the moments that make up the dull day..."

Pink Floyd's "Time" I think should win a nomination.

Anything by Bobby Flynn. Bloody legend.

High Hopes and Learning to Fly - Pink Floyd
Don't you (forget about me) - Simple minds (the song that defines the '80s)
Where the streets have no name, Walk on, With or without you, Desire, (or pretty much anything else) - u2
Who wants to live forever - Queen
Sleep - Eric Whitacre
O Day Full of Grace - FMC


Honestly, there are a million best songs ever.

Search and Destroy - The Stooges

There's not enough energy in TL's version though!

More energy yes, but it lacks Phil's attitude. Most songs in that album were triumphant improvements on the original versions. But I don't believe that applies to that one.

1) Box of Rain - GD

2) Eyes of the World - GD

3) American Pie - Don McLean

4) Whiter Shade Of Pale - Procol Harum

5) Beercan - Beck

80s *****es!

Missing You - John Waite
Self Control - Laura Branigan
All I Wanna Do Is Make Love To You - Heart
Everything I Do I Do It For You - Bryan Adams
Summer of '69 - Bryan Adams
Danger Zone - Kenny Loggins
Take My Breath Away - Berlin
(and everything else off the Top Gun soundtrack)
Every Breath You Take - Police
Up Where We Belong - Jennifer Warnes
Pictures of You - The Cure
Every Rose Has Its Thorn - Poison

Etc... There are many more...

Worst best song list ever. Its that bad that putting the Wiggles on it would improve it. You need to clean your ears out Tourmalet.
