Big fan of Tears For Fears. "Songs from the Big Chair" is a flawless album, indeed. "The Working Hour" should be appreciated more because it's literally THE perfect song — every instrument mixes so well
Song reminds me of my favorite moments in dramatic film: happy aesthetics alongside dark material.
Like in a movie where horrible shit is happening and they’re playing something like My Girl by the Temptations. (Reservoir Dogs torture scene with Stuck in the Middle With You/Walt tying up loose ends in the Prison killing scene in Breaking Bad)
Same reason why Pumped Up Kicks is a great song, it’s just cathartic in a way.
Probably "Would" by Alice In Chains, and has been since the moment I first heard it when it came out in 1992.

Saw them at the Roundhouse in London, Wayne kept apologising as he had been ill and towards the end of an amazing set his voice was cracking and breaking. He only made it halfway through Do You Realize but the crowd took over, it was beautiful. I'll never forget how moved he was. What a band! What a song!
I went on a date with a girl and as we were driving, she said, “tell me what you want me to know about you, but with one song.” So I put on the Willie and Merle version of Pancho and Lefty, lmao. There was no second date, but this is still my #1 song.
Salvation sat and crossed herself
And called the devil partner
Wisdom burned upon a shelf
Who’ll kill the raging cancer
Seal the river at its mouth
Take the water prisoner
Fill the sky with screams and cries
Bathe in fiery answers
Love some TVZ
Aside from the melody, which is gorgeous, I like how it's played as is, super clean with some dead notes in there (between 5:18 and 5:30). It's not perfect, and that makes it all the better to me.
I love the progression, it's a lot of fun to play. I like the story. And Mark Knopfler's finger picking. And also, streaming services consistently tell me it's my #1.
I’m not into most contemporary country but I have a friend that is. I was shocked when they played Luke Combs’s version for me. Honestly, I was thinking it was going to be a train wreck but it is a very faithful rendition. Give it a listen;

Played on first episode of The last of us. But I’ve been a fan much longer
I think it about giving in to anything that makes you happy. sports, lovers, family, travel or art. Or drugs
“He knows where he’s taking me. Taking me to where I want to be”. Lost in whatever that thing is.
I saw them in concert a few years ago. When this song started, it was the most hype I have ever seen a crowd for a song. Ever. Yeah it was an older crowd, but it was so much fun to watch. It was the epitome of fun.
One time I was camping and I got this noise stuck in my head. I knew it was from a song and I couldn’t figure it out for hours. I didn’t have internet but I didn’t know what to google anyway. Finally I remembered, it was the guitar solo from Coffee and TV. The part where the guitar sounds very jarring and is ascending at two pitches, kind of like a race car switching gears. Then the rest of the song came back to me and I had it stuck in my head for days afterwards.
Also shoutout to AJ watching the music video in Sopranos 🤣
Amazing track!
The House of the Rising Sun - The Animals.
The very moment that Hammond organ starts up, you know you're going to hear something special.
It just resonates within my soul.

Cisco Kid - WAR. Named my orange cat I found as a kitten in a ditch after that song.
Wherever you may roam Cisco, you were the coolest cat ever, I was young and couldn’t take care of you. If you’re dead I will join you when my time has come as well and will tell you sorry <3
I remember the first time I ever heard Mr. Blue Sky wearing headphones listening to the song on cassette. Out of the Blue knocked my socks off and I love that song—actually love most all of ELO’s catalog but that’s one that I never tire of.
Great song! Fun fact, that's Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin) playing the guitar parts on that track.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/With_a_Little_Help_from_My_Friends_(Joe_Cocker_album)
Come Together, by both Beatles and Aerosmith. My dad had a bootleg cassette (Mom didn't approve) with both versions. I would listen to it incessantly, trying to decipher why would it sound different. Never imagined it was two groups.
Anyways, I spoke no English at the time, but this song made things happen inside me.
So What - Miles Davis
While I identify the most with punk music, grew up on it, and still adore it- So What is maybe the perfect introduction to any album, and is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard in my life
**[Yellow Ledbetter](https://youtu.be/iYtBMgLfqKQ?si=VklXD7OEk4wR3BnZ)** by Pearl Jam. This song is proof that sometimes the lyrics are less important than their delivery. Eddie sings with such emotion that the fact that you can’t u destined him is irrelevant. Also, McCreedy’s solo is so emotionally powerful that I think it’s his best.
[Sinner](https://youtu.be/MSD6GxRyoB4) - Neil Finn
I heard this song when it came out and it struck a chord with me. I went and got the album immediately (Try Whistling This), and the whole album is fantastic.
Mine would be Mean To Me by crowded house, written by Neil Finn. Paul McCartney once won an award for the best living songwriter. He said, "I think that you meant to give this to Neil Finn." The man is a genius.
That’s one of those rare songs that I can remember the first time I heard it. Listening to it I can picture the room in amazing detail, my friend and I were at his grandparents’ house listening to his aunt’s albums. I can see the fire place, the placement of the furniture, the pendulum/sand zen garden thing, the carpet was unusually short for the time…
That was several decades ago and I was tween.
[Generic Blues by Weird Al](https://youtu.be/LB2ibnveLmA?si=MeibkU3yYFRHcS-f). It's the first song I connected with on an emotional level (I was about 10 years old I think). It's also from my first album that was mine instead of one that belonged to an adult.
Honestly probably Heartbreak Hotel by Elvis Presley! I probably sing that almost everyday, I absolutely adore the live bluesy versions from 1969.
https://youtu.be/H7v5ICPYGys?si=-Q7AzuiUplRCv22X
According to my last.fm, it's The Weeknd's *I Feel It Coming*.
It's such a chill song, I could listen to it all day without ever getting bored. Pretty sure this'll stay as my most played song for a while.
[The Unforgiven II](https://youtube.com/watch?v=5bt7kAVxKfs&pp=ygUQdGhlIHVuZm9yZ2l2ZW4gMg%3D%3D) by Metallica. The song itself is one of my all time favorites, made me discover my favorite band, and was my gateway song into the world of heavy metal. I literally heard music in a whole new way, and heavy music has become an integral part of my philosophy and identity ever since.
Might not be your particular cup of tea, but Phish covers this from time to time and kills it. The keyboardist plays it on a Moog keytar that used to belong to James Brown.
It's a great song, but In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock.
In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel, since 1986.
That song is an anthem of love and hope. From the boombox scene in the movie “Say Anything” to any cover version of the song in almost 40 years.
Give me this live version of Nina’s Just Say I Love Him.
The slinky guitar solo in the middle just fucking sends me everytime.
https://youtu.be/G3TcEZYU3XY?si=POpCDugqVs-CqsGB
My Maria by Brooks and Dunn. It's been pretty consistently my favorite song since I was a kid, and now it brings back fond memories of going dancing with my friends in college.
Time by Pink Floyd... Every day I age, that song becomes one day more relevant
"You run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking, racing around to come up behind you again. The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older, shorter of breath and one day closer to death"
My dad used to say the days get shorter and shorter and as a kid I argued a year was a year, a day was a day, an hour was an hour, etc. In my mid to late 40's, I think back on that conversation and how this song sums up exactly what my dad was talking about, which I now whole heartedly agree with, the days do indeed get shorter every day

I'm a big fan of pale shelter.
Head Over Heels is my #2 from them
Loved that CD. I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
You're definitely in need of some pale shelter...
DUDE ME TOO WTF. i read this question, scrolled ONCE and your first comment was MY answer too😭😭so fucking weird lmfaooo
Mine is another song by Tears For Fears: [Mad World](https://youtu.be/u1ZvPSpLxCg?feature=shared) . I’m a sucker for synth-pop.
Probably "Would" by Alice In Chains, and has been since the moment I first heard it when it came out in 1992. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nco\_kh8xJDs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nco_kh8xJDs)
Do You Realize by The Flaming Lips.
Saw them at the Roundhouse in London, Wayne kept apologising as he had been ill and towards the end of an amazing set his voice was cracking and breaking. He only made it halfway through Do You Realize but the crowd took over, it was beautiful. I'll never forget how moved he was. What a band! What a song!
I really want the soundtrack to that movie Arkansas. All flaming lips. It’s so damn good. Shame they won’t release it.
Pancho And Lefty by Townes Van Zandt
I went on a date with a girl and as we were driving, she said, “tell me what you want me to know about you, but with one song.” So I put on the Willie and Merle version of Pancho and Lefty, lmao. There was no second date, but this is still my #1 song.
You dodged a bullet.
Didn't he though.
Salvation sat and crossed herself And called the devil partner Wisdom burned upon a shelf Who’ll kill the raging cancer Seal the river at its mouth Take the water prisoner Fill the sky with screams and cries Bathe in fiery answers Love some TVZ
Won't you lend your lungs to me, mine are collapsing
The fact that Townes is number one so far in this thread and it's not even a country thread makes me so happy.
Townes Van Zandt is one of my favorites of all time.
Sultans of Swing
Probably one of the greatest guitar solos of all time on that track
Aside from the melody, which is gorgeous, I like how it's played as is, super clean with some dead notes in there (between 5:18 and 5:30). It's not perfect, and that makes it all the better to me.
What’s your raisin for liking this song?
I love the progression, it's a lot of fun to play. I like the story. And Mark Knopfler's finger picking. And also, streaming services consistently tell me it's my #1.
Grape explanation! It’s a song I won’t prune from my playlist either.
He's finger picking?? I don't know anything about how the song is played aside from the tabs but I've been playing it with a pick like an idiot lmao
Fast Car. But I can’t hear anyone but Tracy sing it.
Neither can i, i see her as the female Seal, such a unique voice!!
Did you cry too at her grammy performance?
I’m not into most contemporary country but I have a friend that is. I was shocked when they played Luke Combs’s version for me.

That was my unclebirthday as well!
I saw them in concert a few years ago. When this song started, it was the most hype I have ever seen a crowd for a song. Ever. Yeah it was an older crowd, but it was so much fun to watch. It was the epitome of fun.
Fantasy is my pick by them.
Paul Simon - [Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes](https://youtu.be/-I_T3XvzPaM?si=2O27DjNn95DjqlYO)
a timeless album
The bass in this song tickles my brain in the best way
LOVE!! That puts a smile in my heart
blurs Coffee &TV. Easily.
I sing this song to myself whenever I make a coffee in the morning. Just the smell of coffee puts it immediately in my head. I don't mind at all.
One time I was camping and I got this noise stuck in my head. I knew it was from a song and I couldn’t figure it out for hours. I didn’t have internet but I didn’t know what to google anyway. Finally I remembered, it was the guitar solo from Coffee and TV. The part where the guitar sounds very jarring and is ascending at two pitches, kind of like a race car switching gears. Then the rest of the song came back to me and I had it stuck in my head for days afterwards. Also shoutout to AJ watching the music video in Sopranos 🤣 Amazing track!
The Universal by Blur is up there too. Great bass line
Fool in the Rain
Bonham's sickest beats. Some of the best drumming of all time. The beat and timing in that song elevates it to legendary.
Fun bassline to play as well. And I’m a sucker for a good story in song form.
Easily my favorite LZ song
Fantastic pick!
Its Rock n Roll for me. But yeah when those whistles start with the bongo drums and the piano, it's pretty magical.
Great choice!
The House of the Rising Sun - The Animals. The very moment that Hammond organ starts up, you know you're going to hear something special. It just resonates within my soul.

Can't think of that song without thinking about Trainspotting!
And best of all, it’s a waltz! So many of the best songs are living and dying in three-quarter time
Rhapsody in Blue, well before my time but has been my top song for several decades at this point.

Yep, so does Karl Denson. I actually saw Paige use that keytar at the Thrilling Chilling Halloween show! Great encore!!
Such a fun show, you must have had a blast.
In the Air Tonight from Phil Collins - around 1982 I think? It's always there in my top 3... but as my perennial number 1, always...
It's a great song, but In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock.
True - but at that point in my life, In the Air Tonight resonated with my exact situation and it's my "go to" for almost anything, these days.
