Pick Your Favorite Song by a Group/Artist

I like their simple on stage duet better, but this is quite artistic and has over 1 Billion hits:

has over 1 Billion hits

Yeah that's kind of mind numbing to me when a song hits the 1 bil. views plateau. That's why when something obscure that I like has 100,000 or even 500,000 views it's almost like nobody has seen it.

The "Official" version of this has 683+ million views and while creative it cannot hold a candle to this acoustic version, a mere 81 million views.

This has gotta be here? But in case it's not: R.E.M. Everybody Hurts so, so good

I promise this is it...hope it isn't a repeat.

Amy Winehouse - this was a very talented person who was the recipient of a ton of piss poor advice...love this song of hers:

I'm not a huge Bruce fan, but this is great in my book:

 

[Scud49]

Bruce Cockburn - from the land of our great neighbors to the north, one of his many fine songs - "Laughter"

A big +1 to this. I almost posted something similar. There are dozens and dozens of genres and subgenres of music now. What's considered "popular" these days often doesn't float my boat but there's so much more out there. There was great stuff in the 90s, 80s, 70s, 60s, 50s and on back thru the decades. There was some amazing music in the 1600 and 1700s that still sounds great today. But truly not all current music sucks. I certainly understand the sentiment when people get nostalgic, but broad sweeping generalizations are often wrong.

Yeah, my boss thinks music peaked with Mozart and there’s been little of value made since Brahms. I think music peaked with Bach and there’s still great music being made. I’d love to post something by Bach, but could never post just one. Bruch, though. . .

I think Bruce Cockburn is one of the most underrated guitarists. Here is my favorite solo piece of his:

Amy Winehouse - this was a very talented person who was the recipient of a ton of piss poor advice...love this song of hers:

I listened to Back to Black yesterday (jeezum, that’s a great album). When it came out I went on the record to a bunch of friends that she wouldn’t see her thirtieth birthday. She was an absolute genius, I hate that she just couldn’t keep it together for a few more decades.

Mike Greene Band - Pale, Pale, Moon. I probably could have plunked this one into the Old, Obscure, and Forgotten thread, but I might as well include it here as my "Mike Greene" entry . Anyways, its a very pleasant instrumental.

She is a very underrated female singer. I love this one, a different Stand By Me.

Quite the cover.

Is it possible we haven’t had anything by Chuck Berry? Here’s a pretty good video of Chuck on American Bandstand.

Okay, I know their most popular version of this was put up this morning, but if you like rock guitar you have to listen to the 5 minute prelude in this performance. Brilliant:

Craig Chaqiqa(?) on guitar... maybe 18-19 then.

My 2-3yo daughters favorite song. Thought it was about free chickens. Always brings me a smile.

Looks so young... has that much time gone by?

Mike and the Mechanics

Jackie Blue - Ozark Mountain Daredevils

Now the face I look at in the mirror more and more is a stranger to me....

Some days I sing the chorus for a disturbingly long time!

It was--with Katherine Ross on the bicycle. But it's worth repeating for a great movie.
