BUMP!!!  :)

...............................................................................................................

I'm making my Mum a mixtape for her 64th birthday...3 actually, 28 Elvis songs on one CD (Suspicious Minds), 18 tracks by my fav male artists & 18 by my fav female artists...

Crazy (Patsy Cline) is still there, so is We Have All The Time In the World (Louis Armstrong) & so is Into The Mystic (Van Morrison)...It Was A Very Good Year (Frank)

But I need to add publicly that This Bitter Earth (Dinah Washington) & The Other Women (Nina Simone) have been well & truly added to the list of contenders!

You've got to go with the classics...
God will forgive them. He'll forgive them and allow them into Heaven.....I can't live with that.

Say A Little Prayer by Aretha...that's another!

Nice bump!

Hmm, I'll base my decision, like someone said earlier in the thread, as if I was on a deserted island; for the replay value.

Either, La Villa Strangiato by Rush or Where to Begin
Evey: Are you, like, a crazy person?
V: I am quite sure they will say so.

my all time favorite song is "It makes no difference" ---no matter what, when i hear this song i get a tear in my eye---because of personal reasons and because it's the most beautiful sad song ever written (and sad songs are SO much better than happy songs)


bittersweet symphony and the OSU song are probably next on the list
but come on...there's nothing sexy about poop. Nothing.  -bbill

QuoteCan't You See by the Marshall Tucker Band.

wow, I had one of my first clean "out of body experiences" to this song right after I got out of rehab in 1989. In a boathouse in Gloucester, MA on an unusually warm February day. WBCN Boston. This song was playing loud and my mind reached a certain clarity that was calming.

Is Lord, I'm Discouraged by the Hold Steady too new for consideration.  It's my current #1 anyway.

O.K. - Gigantic by the Pixies.  I know I'm supposed to pick something deep and moving and not a song about having sex with a black dude, but what can I say?  Best bass line ever, silly screaming by Black/Frank/Charles, loud crunchy guitars, and about 3 minutes long at best.  Is there anything better?
I'm not saying it's easy...walking into sweet oblivion.

This is an impossible question, but for lack of me thinking about it and this just popping into my head, ill go with:

Van Morrison - Tupelo Honey
The thing is, Bob, it's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care. - Peter Gibbons

Grateful Chabo

QuoteEasy - Here Comes the Sun.  

Chalk another up for George..
I still stand by this statement.  I think it's been my favourite song for about 12 years.

I remember waking up to this song at Tracy's house one day and it hit me pretty hard.  I also closed my last mix tape with it.
