Van Morrison Brown-eyed Girl
Just you and Me - Chicago......
I am a rock guitar player before anything else however in my opinion the most perfectly crafted single of all time is Nelson Riddle's arrangement of I've Got You Under My Skin sung by Frank Sinatra. This record oozes class - the timing, the individual interpretation, the trombone solo all combine to make what has been described as an apocalyptic performance.
I have several songs, or instrumental pieces that I would list. Probably too many to remember, but here are a few in no particular order:
"All I Want" by Toad the Wet Sprocket. The 1990s seemed like a great time for me. I was like a kid, but I was an adult. I had plenty of time and money and credit cards to travel, go to concerts, and time to socialize. Every time I hear this song, I think of the vibe of that period, and how good it was.
"Everybody Wants To Rule the World" by Tears For Fears. Seems like a happy and sad song at the same song. Like, you've got to give everything your best shot, but even if you didn't make it, at least you tried.
Pretty much any R&B song from the 1970s. Even if they talked about "getting it on" they did it in a way that wasn't vulgar. And the vocals seemed so pretty, along with the instrumentation, which seemed to use a wide variety of sounds.
"Get Down Tonight" by KC and the Sunshine Band. That opening guitar solo is awesomely iconic.
"Never Tear Us Apart" by INXS. A sensual, soulful song with a great sax solo.
"Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White" by Perez Prado. A cha cha cha from the 50s. Sexy and chock full of personality, I think of my dad when I hear this, because he loved Latin jazz and Afro-Cuban jazz music, among other things.
Instrumental selections from "Carmen" by Bizet. My dad would play this on Sunday mornings. So dramatic and Spanish and proud.
"Nessun Dorma" from Turandot. When Paul Potts sang this, I cried. Again, romance and drama.
There's a lot more, but that's what I have for now!
Any song from the Meat Loaf Bat Out Of Hell album. Never gets old.
I have a few songs I play all the time: 1. Don't you forget about me by simple minds 2. these dreams by heart 3. any tim mcgraw song or garth brooks
