A song.

[fredheim_holm]

Whats a song that you really rate, that you get excited about when you hear it?

For me, it's gotta be Oasis - Wonderwall, as theres many memories attached to this singing it out in the cold with a few mates and his acoustic guitar. Such an iconic song, just oozes class.

I've set the ball rolling, would like to hear some classic songs or even some normally unthought of songs, I may post up another iconic song later :p

Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley. Ever since I first heard it as a 7/8 year old I have loved it, the intro, his voice, the way he holds that note at the end, its just amazing song.

Wish You Were Here - Incubus. First heard it when I was in year 10 or 11 at school, it just takes me back to that time when the most you have to worry about is whether its worth changing into your trainers at break time or scuff up your school shoes playing football. It makes me smile whenever I hear it and brings back good memories.

 

[The Big Shrimp]

[Mr Gilbo]

On the Ryan Adams trail. Always loved When the Stars Go Blue.

And going even older with Ryan Adams country band Whiskey Town, it has to be Heres the rest of the World.

Where did you sleep last night by Nirvana.

Yes, the regular Nirvana albums were great by themselves but the MTV performance is incredible and this is the crowning moment. The song crescendoes nicely to Cobain wailing "Shiver" before a moment of silence followed by "the whole night through" Lovely stuff.

Beetlebum

Sadly, I had this song ruined for me by a comedian. Well, not ruined, but now every time I hear that unmistakeable guitar riff, instead of "Beetlebum", I hear the words "You touch your mum..."

:eek: :finger:

It was one of those really "on the edge" gags, where the comedian picked on a couple in the audience where the woman was, obviously, a couple of years older than her bloke. A pretty uncomfortable minute or so for them, but f***ing hysterical for the rest of the audience.

"You touch your mum
On her bum.
It was fuuuuun...
It made you come,
You touch your mum!"

:eek: :hilarious:

 

[Matt the Shrimp]

I'll do my list tonight with the youtube links, if I can find 'em...

Hallelujah is best song of all time! Jeff's version of course...

Along with Bonjovi's Always.
