Best Song of all Time

by Michaels, Sean Thu Nov 17, 2011 8:17 am

First topic message reminder :

After todays thread on Steffan's Shed 7 tickets, I'm running a 606v2 Boxing 'Best Song of All Time Thread'.

Much like Union (without the cheating and favouritism), you all get your picks. It ends on Sunday midnight. I'll then do a top 10 poll.

Fire away.........

PS list your top 3

Don't Look Back in Anger - Oasis
Don't Look Back in to the Sun - The Libertines
Walk - Foo Fighters
Yellow Ledbetter - Pearl Jam
There is a Light That Never Goes Out - The Smiths

All changeable on any given day really...

Apologies, but this has to be shared with the world. Or at least 606v2. It's beautiful and you can thank me later.

A Rainy Night in Soho

I've been loving you a long time
Down all the years, down all the days
And I've cried for all your troubles
Smiled at your funny little ways
We watched our friends grow up together
And we saw them as they fell
Some of them fell into Heaven
Some of them fell into Hell

I took shelter from a shower
And I stepped into your arms
On a rainy night in Soho
The wind was whistling all its charms
I sang you all my sorrows
You told me all your joys
Whatever happened to that old song
To all those little girls and boys

Now the song is nearly over
We may never find out what it means
But there's a light I hold before me
And you're the measure of my dreams
The measure of my dreams

Sometimes I wake up in the morning
The gingerlady by my bed
Covered in a cloak of silence
I hear you in my head
I'm not singing for the future
I'm not dreaming of the past
I'm not talking of the fist time
I never think about the last

Now the song is nearly over
We may never find out what it means
Still there's a light I hold before me
You're the measure of my dreams
The measure of my dreams

I, and I can only assume the rest of the world, prefer Rick Waller's version.

Absolutely, it's long been one of my favourite songs, before the inevitable defection to coxy, which I'm sure will touch you all one day. It can't be fought.

Why do you think it's garbage, out of interest?

by Mind the windows Tino. Thu Nov 17, 2011 8:49 pm

I don't actually. I was just been juvenile!

by sodhat Thu Nov 17, 2011 8:53 pm

Understandable. But there does seem to be a lot of hatred towards Oasis out there... Never understood it personally, always been one of my favourites.

Might give a listen to that Pogues song you posted a bit later. Seems nice and poignant, lyrically at least.

On that one you are talking out of your bottom, r0uu1£y.

Addendum: I just realised you're not talking rubbish as you're just asserting your own dislike of them. Still think you're crazy to not like them though. Imagine Flash Gordon and Highlander without the soundtracks they had!!!

The Rolling Stones - Paint it Black

What an odd pick of Roses song GG, so many of their songs I would pick before that one.

Don't know why Jeff but it's always been a favourite of mine, especially when the drums kick in.

by Mind the windows Tino. Thu Nov 17, 2011 9:14 pm

Adam, I am slightly worried now. That was my first dance song as well, you're not my wife are you?

She is older than me and also suffers from mood swings. The evidence is overwhelming.

A really tough one as my musical taste tends to be very broad and my top three is probably different every day, for today I'll go for:

Hold Yuh - Gyptian (can't hear this song without smiling)
Lucky Man - The Verve (great to sing along to in the car)
Fast Car - Tracy Chapman

Tomorrow it could be all hip hop, next day drum and bass and the next jazz. I love music and choice would always be down to the mood of the day.

I like Tracy Chapman too but in little snips or else i just would just curl up and die from crying.

We'd know who wore the trousers though. Be a hell of a 606 power couple, too.

by Michaels, Sean Thu Nov 17, 2011 9:26 pm

Always thought Tracy Chapman was a geezer.

I went to a wedding where they played REM's Imitation of Life as the first dance. Strangely moving.

Anyone like The Delays?

She's a hot Canadian MILF, Balti. She wakes up everyday thanking her lucky stars that she met me.

Without.

Do quite like Nicki Minaj though, her songs are crap but she is hot. No such thing as a good female rapper (maybe with the exception of Rage, who I was convinced was a dude anyway).

Weirdly similar for my wife, only she thanks her lucky charms she married someone who buys childrens cereal.

Freebird is an excellent track but struggle to listen to it now after it was played at a friends funeral.

It is excellent but I've heard it too much. Simple Man I like for the sentiment.

Camp but true. She's no Shakira. Although I daresay that watching any Nicki Minaj video with the sound off is an improvement.
