No, knew that kashmir was not on 4. Houses of the holy I believe.

Big Led Zep fan, saw them twice back in the 70's. Ironically Kashmir isn't even in my top 20 songs of theirs. It's the favorite of all 3 of my kids though.

I could listen to Boogie with Stu all day long.

 

[oldman]

Seems fitting

 

[NorCalRiverRat]

you know Rolling Stone Magazine has an official list of the greatest songs of all time. I'm not gonna post who they say is # 1 ...

..

 

[JFMFG]

Tanks theme song dropping his boat in the water at supercat.

 

[old rigger]

Seems fitting

Did you see the CCR at Royal Albert Hall doc? Damn they were a great live band.

 

[jetboatperformance]

I bought Creedence and Led Zeplin for my Muncie 4 track as a kid and played them over and over again but this version of Hotel California (later years) was hands down for me

 

[JUSTWANNARACE]

I have sooo many favorites but this is ONE that the volume goes to max when it comes on! All throughout my wrestling years this was my warm up song. Had a tape with it recorded over and over in my walkman!

 

[Not So Fast]

Hard to not mention "Papa was a Rollin Stone" by the Temptations isnt it

But in reality how can anyone pick "The Best" song cause there were so many!!!! Im a big soul music fan but I love so many other genre's also, nothing like great music

 

[Paradox]

If memory serves, Robert Plant said that Kashmir was Zep’s best song as well.

Physical Graffiti is definitely my favorite album of all times. All 4 sides. I wore it out multiple times in album form, 8 track and cassette. It’s on my Apple playlist and we happened to listen to it (in its entirety) last weekend traveling back from Havasu. I don’t think it’s possible to wear out the digital format but, if you could, it would be me..

I've met Tennille before about 15 years ago at the dealership I ran in Reno, very tall and still looked great. She pulled up in a early 911 Turbo, quite the entrance. She was very nice.

 

[C-2]

Target online has their buy 2 get one free vinyl sale and I picked up fresh copies of Zep 2, 3 and 4. And CCR Bayou Country.

Actually, I bought 20 pieces this week lol.

This one is easy for me and my taste - Floyd, Comfortably Numb

 

[rmarion]

Tank

that's definitely a MIND PHUQ!!

I'm trying to come up with One?..

Haven't found it yet...

Good thread!!!

FYI

I burned up five 8-tracks of Physical Graffiti back in the day..

I get chills every single time the hook drops back in about 3/4’s of the way through the song. Amazing.

But truly like others there is no true best. So many greats. I would have to also say nessun dorma from turendot is one of my all time favorite “songs” (aria) little different genre. But again chills and brings tears to my eyes it’s so beautiful. And nobody dies it better than pavrotti

 

[GregG]

In the slow ballad ....... Hotel California no doubt
In the full throttle ........Thunderstruck

 

[Tank]

Tanks theme song dropping his boat in the water at supercat.

Ahhhh it has to be this one lol

 

[C-2]

Strings and horns and a killer Soprano....Ennio was KING. In Italy he was a rockstar.

This song from the Good, the Bad and the Ugly is used in so many current commercials...

 

[Ducksquasher]

So funny...huge music fan of most genres. Van Halen my favorite band! The funny part is that I already have the tunes cranking in the garage as I tinker around waiting for the family to get ready to go.

Only thing besides Bible study that relaxes me anymore!

Love music!

[Long Way Home]

Can't name just one.............​

​

"Going up the Country" - Canned Heat / WOODSTOCK '69​

The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Red House

(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction - The Rolling Stones​

 

[DrunkenSailor]

My favorites change all the time. Right now it might be this one.

 

[Mr. C]

Saw them at the Greek 35 years ago or so . Think it was with Foreigner. Maybe little river band.
I was like 14. Passing Thai stick dubbies up and down the 3rd row. Fn A. Great memories.

… Sheesh…How do you pick just one…

…Currently…for me while reading the Ed Sanders book… “The Family”…this song works for me… The Grateful Dead… Terrapin Station…

ZZ Top, Thorogood....who else followed their lead?

Swing Auditorium 1980 was my first; I was also 14 years old! I've seen them at least 10 times since then, most recently 2023.

Had a GF that was a separated-at-birth looking Marie Osmond twin that was a Little River fan. Went to several of their shows at, if I recall right,, the Greek, or we did go to lots of other shows there

917 key that unlocks the employee parking lot gate across the road still works today.

I was hoping that was Pavrotti singing Kashmir.

I was at this concert too I believe. I remember the opening act was getting zero love from the crowd. Throwing change at the stage, I think it was David Coverdale. They finally had enough and said, you can have your fucking Cheap Trick and stormed off the stage. Robin Zander rode out on a Harley and they went right in to Gonna Raise Hell. The place went crazy. Still one of the best concerts I've been to.

… Ken Adamany was Cheap Tricks longtime manager… my friend John Moon Martin was friends with Ken …who had him open for Cheap Trick in Long Beach….Great show.…

 

[Your ad here]

Not what I listen to mainly but the best song is probably a Michael Jackson song. Pink Floyd wouldn't have a best song as all their albums are pretty much just one long song.

 

[Willie B]

LOVE Canned heat!!

… Hing with the Heat a lot…

Out to lunch/dinner… can’t remember the name of the restaurant, but it was on the hillside of PCH in Malibu… kind of a funky place. Had a bit of outdoor dining and indoor… Don’t remember if it’s specialty was pizza or seafood. … Took Neighbor girl there maybe 10 years ago… She might remember the name)…
…
…Always backstage passes with the Heat… their drummer Fito De La Para… still holds the band together today… Couple of recent interviews with Fito on YouTube…
I was there the night the Canned Hest snagged Fito from a band called Bluesberry Jam… that was either late 1967 or early 1968… Bluesberry Jam…morphed into a band of some renoun…I just can’t remember their name right now….

 

[Aces & Eights]

This is rather subjective as everyone has their own personal opinion.

For me, it’s gotta be a song I’m not sure many people know of since I’ve only heard it played on the radio maybe once or twice. From the album The Wild, The Innocent, and the E Street Shuffle…..Incident on 57th Street.

I was absolutely captivated when I first heard it decades ago, it’s still my favorite song today. Perfect collaboration of music and story telling lyrics that never get old.

I really want to see an orchestra like the Mormon tabernacle choir do some of this type of music live.

Tiptoe through the Tulips by Tiny Tim FTW.

Willie...all kidding aside man, you NEED to sit down with Neighbor Girl and come up with an outline of the life you have lived and the people and times you have known. Get the outline, then have her buy a digital recorder, and then sit down and just tell your stories. You have so damn much history in your head that really should be saved, somehow. My grandmother passsed at 96 in 1993...One of my great regrets in life is not doing the same with her...a damn history book gone...

I am fickle when it comes to music...it is mood driven for me. I love much of what has been shared here, and some others. Lately, I am listening to a lot of Norman Brown, (jazz guitar) The Shadows instrumental guitar guys from the 60s who just took the world by storm, and some early surf guitar...

This for sure. History is so important to future generations.

I have all of my families historic material (on my Mom’s side) going back to the original stamped immigration papers going back to 1873 from Austria, although they were German. Literally have a couple of wedding photos from my great great grand parents. At least a thousand photos in total from the 1880s through the 1950s. Also scrap books, rosary beads, locks of hair, wedding rings, etc. All going back 150 years.

Although my Mother died young, 30 years ago or so I sat with my Great Aunt (who was in her 80s at the time) and had her identity the folks in a lot of the photos. I wrote the names and relationships on the back of the photos. I’m soo glad I did. Everything of course will pass down to my kids.
