TSmoke 2 Posted March 16, 2011 One of my two favorite tunes is Spirit in the Sky by Norman Greenbaum. Sorry just can't pick one, the other is Chrissy Hyndes live version of Creep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted March 16, 2011 Wodin, this is what I get. Gawd!!! We Germans must be the only big source of money for the music industry? This video contains content from Believe, WMG, INgrooves, The Orchard Music and EMI. One or several of these partners have banned this video fro copyright reasons. And sorry, but please don't break the rule - otherwise we will get flooded here with the top twenty or even more of everyone. Carrick, your video is also banned for me. Parky, yours was NOT banned - is he a loser? Naw, just kidding. A country guy with such humour - is he Canadian? Never heard such words from an American?

Olham 164 Posted March 16, 2011 Hahaha, that's a cute choice of your son, Creaghorn - good taste, little boy! Well, and yours is definitely a classic, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest British_eh Posted March 16, 2011 Hi there, OK, we've got some British content, that's good, so how about some Irish...................Van Morrison's "Moondance" . All my favorites are extended songs, more than the 3 minutes such as Neil Young's - Southern Man...oops, just a reference :) Cheers, British_eh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+elephant 36 Posted March 16, 2011 Too difficult to chose only one but... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted March 16, 2011 Yeah, "Van the Man" - got some of his records, too. elephant, you Greeks seem to be pretty sentimental, could that be? I got the old "Aphrodite's Child" stuff, and some of Vangelis - always very emotional. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lewie 7 Posted March 16, 2011 ******************** Parky, yours was NOT banned - is he a loser? Naw, just kidding. A country guy with such humour - is he Canadian? Never heard such words from an American? You haven't heard of John Prine? That song is great, one of the best he's done, a humorous song about an aspect of Jesus' life that is the cause of vociferous forum arguments that will stretch into the hundreds of posts. Everyone seems to be an expert on what Jesus was doing as a youngster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dej 17 Posted March 16, 2011 Heh, me surfing the Morrisson wave (Jim AND Van), but this has to be mine. I love it, my mum loved it, my first wife and my present partner love it, each of my three children love it and so do all their tens of friends. Slap this on for a Summer barbecue and EVERYBODY is singing... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8z7HLy-6SXk&feature=related Brown-eyed girl, of course... and nice eye candy to boot (or is that BOOTS?) ;-) Happy time tune par excellance.....

ReDDoT 0 Posted March 16, 2011 Sigh! Dej and ReDDoT, yours are not available here... I can see Dej`s and mine :-) My video song is from SADE "Kiss of Life" Youtube :) Sometimes I can`t even watch the national geographics videos here in Norway... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tranquillo 10 Posted March 16, 2011 Well, there's a first. Viewing Sade is blocked in UK. That's a shame because she provides quite a nice view. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted March 16, 2011 Sade is the most beautiful sleeping pill I've ever seen. UncleAl, now you really got me totally surprised, Sir! Lennon's "Imagine" - who would have thought you came up with this song?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dej 17 Posted March 16, 2011 I notice no one's posted anything Classical, which genre is an enduring musical love of mine, so if other peeps are having a second shot I beg Olham's leave to put up this one. For me, it's as one of the YouTube posters says... this is what love sounds like. Not the best rendition I'm afraid but the best on YouTube. If you like it and would wish a definitive take look for the version by Richard Hickox and The Northern Sinfonia. Bliss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted March 16, 2011 Dej, why not make a thread about the favourite classical piece of music? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shredward 12 Posted March 17, 2011 ONLY 1 SONG EVERYBODY, PLEASE I have often thought of starting this thread, but then I always found it almost impossible to go for just 1 song (or instrumental). In different phases and moods, we may like different stuff. But what the heck - no one would be angry, if you had a different selection next year. I made my choice. This song was played, when I had my very first slow dance with a (French) girl in a German-French youth camp at the Bodensee. I remember, that it was the first time, when the combination of the scent of a girls hair and skin, and a soft bosom pressed against my chest, caused something like an electric red-out in my brain or godknowswhereelse. That tune they played then was Procol Harum's "A Whiter Shade of Pale" OK, that's just weird. Cause that's the first piece I thought of as well. Either that, or Homburg, from the same album. Many other possibilities of course : Layla and if I started to think about it, but that would turn me away from my beloved files. But Whiter Shade of Pale was the first thing I thought of. Perhaps because we both grew up in the same era, culture, and place. Cheers, shredward Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted March 17, 2011 "Homburg", "A Salty Dog" and "Whaling Stories" would all be great choices by that great and so underrated band, Shredward. And you as a Canadian must be a bit proud of their live-recording with the Edmonton Symphonie Orchestra & the Da Camera Singers", I bet. For me the best work of a rock band together with an orchestra. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Von Paulus 8 Posted March 17, 2011 Well my first LP, was Procol Harum Live with Edmonton orchestra. I was 7. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted March 17, 2011 Funny, I just mentioned it the same minute! What a great first record to get! Von Paulus and Shredward, we must be soul mates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Von Paulus 8 Posted March 17, 2011 For me the best work of a rock band together with an orchestra. One of the best surely. But don't forget the Moody Blues, with the Days of Future Passed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted March 17, 2011 Yes, I have that one too; they were very nice - but Procol Harum were overwhelming. Weren't they? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve58 0 Posted March 17, 2011 (edited) Definitely a hard choice, but if I had to pick one, it would be The Animals - House of the Rising Sun ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmdPQp6Jcdk Edited March 17, 2011 by steve58 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
