Favorite Album, song and why

Love that song by Adele. Any song that gets the head-bob going will be a hit.Crank it up.
 
Favourite song? Easy:

Otherwise, I like absolutely everything you guys have mentioned above too.

Looks like Etta James is a candidate for one of those "blow your hair back" commercials...
 
Quicksilver Messenger Service - What About Me
 
Layla and other assorted love songs - every song on it (Clapton fan since I first heard him) :yesnod:

Nial, how could I have forgotten Ric Grech? Anyway, thanks for posting the Winwood vid. Really great stuff.

Cheers to you all, and Merry Christmas! :thumbsup:
 
Probably couldn't come up with a fave but this would be close.

That Etta James recording blasts me back to childhood and Dad playing it on an amplifier system he'd built from components. It powered a pair of Altec Lansing "Voice of the Theater" speakers in the corners of our livingroom. HUGE enclosures, amazing sound back then.

WOW!! THANKS, Nial!! :laugh:


By the time brother and I started buying "our" music, he had built a pre-amp, feeding a 500 watt/channel stereo amp running those speakers, so we got to listen to Lovin' Spoonful and Gracie Slick thru THAT. :thumbsup:

He liked The Beatles, didn't care for Vanilla Fudge much.

OH!! And he thought Frank Zappa and The Mothers were great!!

...one of his pals (and a co-worker) wrote his doctoral thesis on Zappa. :wink:
 
Since I have been working on the 45's collection for the America On Wheels Museum's juke boxes, I have recently cataloged over 2200 disks, and I now am sorting them and making the collection organized. It will take hours...but I digress. I keep finding new unknown songs I really like, and remembering many from my past. I have over 8 days of music in iTunes too, but for these questions, I guess that I would need to make "Sgt Pepper" my favorite album, and favorite song right now would be divided between:
"Here With Me" by Dido
"I Got a Line on You" by Spirit
and "Right Moves" by Josh Ritter.

But I recently was listening to the Herman's Hermits records, and realized I still really enjoy "Kind of a Hush" too.

And so the list changes and evolves...
 
And on a completely different tack, another of my other all-time favorites -

(They just don't write 'em like they used to!)

Earlier I said you have more culture than 3-day old Yogurt. Me thinks your yogurt has gone bad!
 
Also in the too many artists, too many songs and too many albums camp.

Here are few that popped into my head just now. Give me five minutes and I'll have a completely different set of "all time favorites."

Saw this on the news today
Etta James Hospitalized

In truth I didn't even realize she was still alive
 
Musing here:

As soon as I re-scan this list of posts I see so many others I like too:

Drew mentioned "Time Out" by Brubeck and I immediately thought of "Take Five"

And the beginning of Zep's <span style="text-decoration: underline">Rock and Roll</span> is maybe my favourite intro ever.

I saw the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band live. And survived.

I listen to Sinatra almost every Sunday on National Public Radio (on the Jonathan Schwartz Show).

I've never heard a Dire Straits song I don't like. Mark Knopfler has amazing talent.

John Denver was a great performer....saw him live too.

And Warren Zevon's music was elegant. I saw that last TV show. His last song, an ode to his mesothelioma, was stunning, but uplayable for US audiences.
~It's Here~ (but warning.....VERY bad language).
Enjoy every sandwich. Indeed.

It's funny how so many things (to me) are connected with music. The other day I went to visit my old acquaintance, John San Giacomo. He's a former student who owns a manufacturing business here in NJ. During the visit, I recalled that his sister, the actress Laura San Giacomo, played "Kit" in the movie Pretty Woman.
And so when I went home to listen to it, I rediscovered the wonderful Black and White concert with Roy Orbison performing the lead song. Backed by Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, James Burton, Glen D. Hardin, Tom Waits, kd lang, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, JD Souther, T Bone Burnett, Steven Soles, and Jennifer Warnes. Check out James Burton giving those other guys a lesson about playing the axe.

I enjoy seeing that every time it gets broadcast. Amazing.
 
My tastes change constantly and it's impossible for me to pick a favoite. I listen to Led Zepplin or John Fogerty for a while then switch to Ralph Stanley or Jim Reeves. The 4 singers that I listen to the most right now are:::
