Great song

And it's the perfect song to check and adjust a sound system. 

 

Even after 40 years, it still gives me goosebumps.

Santana is definitely one of the best.

And he is still one of the best - even with "modern" music:

I've been to literally hundreds of concerts, but the best was Santana at Woodstock in 2010.

 

As for great songs, try You Suck by Crackhouse Consolidated with the Yeasty Girls. ????

 

01 Consolidated feat. The Yeastie Girls - You Suck.mp3

10 songs for me is not enough. ????

I'm old so was so glad when Elvis songs kicked off but liked the Platters songs and everyone between my time the last artist I remember when leaving UK was Enya's songs.

I like opera too.

Some time ago I started an Excel file MyLife and I add for every years event like what I did, which girl I thought about and last but not least which music I heard at that time. And then I added some YouTube links. It's interesting to do this.

Here are some of the songs I liked when they were published:

Some great music, & stirs up happy memories from a long time ago.

One of my faves.

 

 

I think songs are like musical postcards of your life, so many have so many memories attached to them

They all mean different things to different people for those reasons.

Its not actually the song itself necessarily its the memories they evoke. ????

Dont think I could get it down to Ten.

Didn't they try to ban that when it first came out ? Great song, memories of the back of my morris1000 van come to mind...???? thick foam and sh*gpile carpet !!....a sign on the window, "passion wagon, don't laugh your daughter may be inside" !

I remember my second love ,went to live abroad and i was suppose to join her to get married,but met someone else and married her,unfortunatly,every time i hear 'leaving on a jet plane" i wonder what my life would have been like.luckily its been a blast ,dont think it could have been better.

Sent from my SM-A720F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app

Reminds me of the years I spent in bars (before I had to give up the booze). When we had run out of stuff to talk about somebody would pipe up..."What was your favourite movie" ...That would keep us going for about another 4 hours.

  My other half was always asking me.. "What you guys talk about all day in the pub"...and I'd tell her..."We're sorting out the problems of the world".. To which she'd reply ... "Why don't you start by sorting yourselves out first" ?

   Just shows you how little the other half understands the important work we men have to do while down at the local.

 

I'd give top ten, except I can't count that high...

Plus my choices are not set in stone, depend somewhat on how I feel that day.

But up in top no particular order

Voodoo Child (slight return) Hendrix was god, and I'm an atheist

I wanna hold your hand, tune by that Brit group

19th nervous breakdown, that other brit group

"Jupiter" by Gustav Holst, neo classical from "The Planets"

Strawberry Fields Forever

Gypsy Eyes (more Jimi)

After that really depends on what pops up on brain white board

Maybe not #1 but in my top 10.

 

Very sound advice for many in Thailand.

 

 

And also in my top 10, a modern love song by Sebastian Daws.

 

 

1. Bad Moon Rising, CCR

2. I Walk the Line, Johnny Cash

3. Wonderfull Tonight, Eric Clapton

4. Walk of Life, Dire Straits

5. Suspicious Minds, Elvis

6. Mr Tambourine Man, Byrds

7. It Never Rains in Southern California, Albert Hammond

8. In The Early Morning Rain, Gordon Lightfoot

9. Jean Genie, David Bowie

10. End of the Line, Travelling Wilburys

 

 

They don't have to be with the video but....
