GeekGuy:

 

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

 

Brings back memories of Sunday arvos in a beer garden, in any Queensland pub , in the 80's.

 

 

I'm on Fire - Springsteen. Memories of Hawkes Bay pub, in the 80s, weekday lunchtime, decided to skip going back to work.

 

There's nothing quite like music to take you back to a time and place.

It just came on whilst listening to a Classic Rock station out of the US and I realised I know every little bit, bob and word, including drum track and guitar licks (listening not playing), so here it is: 

 

FAT BOTTOM GIRLS - Queen. 

 

It's ridiculous, rocky, fantastic.

Geektastic:

 

I am a big DS fan but never liked that song myself. I love the albums as far as Love Over Gold and then all the ones after that changed too much for me to enjoy them - they somehow lost something of the original quality and became more radio play commercials.

 

If it was DS, I would go with either Romeo & Juliet or Wild West End I think. 

 

Although at the moment, Industrial Disease might be more apropos!

 

 

One of my favourites of theirs is Private Investigations.

 

 

And let's not forget "A long time ago came a man on a track, walking thirty miles with a sack on his back ..."

Iron Butterfly  IN A GADDA DA VIDA

 

 

I'm just getting to this thread and someone else may have said the same thing but I want this song at my funeral (along with Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd), purely for the chuckle factor I'll get thinking of the Simpsons reference.

The first time Jenny Shipley's husband was ever interviewed, he also opted for this song as his favorite.

 

He never again gave an interview.

nzjez: My favourite song always changes .
Right now its Neil Finn doing a cover of David Bowies Hero's in one of his at home concerts on you tube.

Pertinent for these times.


Just looked it up on YouTube, great cover!

Not To Say by The Holy Toledos


They were a Christchurch band in the early 90s during my university undergrad days.The core members were also in an Irish folk band called The Finnegans, and there were a few songs shared by both bands including this one.



Wow that brought back memories. My uni mates went to high school with and were good friends with the Holy Toledos so we would go see them perform around Chch and go to parties together. My mates also had a band called The Sneetches. But alas I moved back to Hamilton and lost contact with them all.

That's a tough one. If put in terms of "If you could be known for having written and performed one song before you go to the grave, what would it be?", I'd say Billy Bragg's "Levi Stubb's Tears."

It's tough... struggling to think what the track would be as music appeals for its different moods to suit mine.

 

The theme song from Duck Tales is pretty much near the top of my list though.

This is really hard to choose, even though I listen to far more
Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath than Dire Straits, but Romeo and Juliet is a song I’ve just loved for decades.

Led Zep’s All of my love is a fav too, so too the Beatles’ Come together.

Upon pondering a bit longer, actually Whakaari Mai as sung by Prince Tui Teka, could be my favourite, it gets deeper in me than any other song I know.
