Well, maybe not the greatest, but good.

Desiderata.... read the poem.

Anything Simon and Garfunkel.... just because my momma rocked me to sleep to them.

With or Without You by U2... personal heartbreak.

Anything Matthew Good writes.

 

[bigben]

Wonderwall - Oasis
every single song by Led Zapplin
All Along the Watchtower - Bob Dylan (although Jimi's performance is my favorite)

 

[BigSmooth]

Too many to choose from!!! Here's some of my favorites:

Let It Be - The Beatles
Crossroads - Cream
Little Wing - Jimi Hendrix
Imagine - John Lennon
And So it Goes - Billy Joel
Hey Hey What Can I Do - Led Zeppelin
You Can't Do That - The Beatles (and really anything else by the Beatles)
Wild Horses - The Rolling Stones
Take It Easy - The Eagles
Just My Imagination - The Temptations
Canon in D - Pachelbel
Sonata Pathétique - Beethoven
Moonlight Sonata - Beethoven
Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring - J.S. Bach (Leo Kottke's classical guitar rendition of this piece is the most beautiful song I have ever heard)
Also: Greensleeves, Danny Boy, and Ashokan Farewell (from the Civil War soundtrack)

I don't just like classic rock/classical music/R&B, but those are more of what I consider the "greatest songs ever written".

 

[hominid skull]

Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers - not that i'm all soppy but it's just a first class song.

 

[RSI]

Stairway to Heaven (Led Zeppelin)

-RSI

 

[HoopDogg]

Zeppelin rocks

Tea for one, since I've been loving you
2 really good depressing songs by them

 

[Warrenton]

Basically anything after 1990 is excluded. Some stuff is included though, but its all Christian Rock.

 

[Isla]

I cried the day John Bonham died.

I knew it meant that I would never see a Led Zeppelin concert and have the opportunity to offer myself to Robert Plant...

Best Led Zep song:

10 Years Gone

ROCK ON DUDES



(uh-oh! getting whacky again, and no wine this time!)

 

[Sephiroth_IX]

Fire And Rain (James Taylor)

 

[toph99]

Eminem - The Way I Am
Metallica - Nothing Else Matters and My Friend of Misery
The Cure - Faith
Depeche Mode - Enjoy the Silence
KMFDM - Anarchy

 

[chess9]

Dam:

You are good! Yup, A.P is the best, followed by Seph's choice, F&R. Honorable Mention to "Satisfaction" and "Imagine".

 

[NOSOUP4U]

He didn't say EVERY song from so and so. For example, songs by Al Yakovich may be nice and all, not everyone one of his songs are good. I'm out.
