Classically, I think the music from Raging Bull is the greatest

[Lefty]

i must admit i've seen some amazing songs,



but none can compare with THE SOLO 5:23 into stairway to heaven. Jimmy Page is a god.

i totally agree...along with merchandise by fugazi and napoleon solo by at the drive in.

[j]

Fuck stairway to heaven and freebird!!!!! What, are you all a bunch of drunk rednecks??!!

Just kidding.

Well for jazz, don't sleep on Dizzy Gillespie's "Salt Peanuts" or probably the greatest song he ever did, "A Night in Tunisia."

For rap, "Scenario" by the Tribe.......or "The What" by Meth and Biggie....

For rock, "Castles Made of Sand" by Hendrix....or "Soul to Squeeze" by the Chili Peppers

But the greatest of all time.................."Redemtion Song" by Bob Marley!!!!!

of course man you gotta have Tribe Called Quest in there they are like Gods

[Lardlad95]

oh J that reminds me

Tribe Called Quest may be getting back together

[Fires of History]

J,

LOL! No, I just love to rock. As much as I love Stairway, there are better from Led. And, picking up on Lefty's solo devotional, I must add to that. Page is also a God because of:

-Achilles Last Stand, 3:42-5:15!!!
-Dazed and Confused, 3:30-5:10.
-Heartbreaker, 2:04-3:40
-*Anything* Page did between 5:00-18:00 in Dazed & Confused off the LZ BBC Sessions.
-And yes, as Lefty said, Stairway to Heaven, but more like 5:55-6:43.
___________________________________________

Best Songs- no order whatsoever:

It's so hard to label best song, best band seems easier. Do other great songs like White Rabbit, Slow Ride, and Fur Elise qualify?

And, in terms of funny songs, who can forgetStar Wars Gangsta Rap (http://atomfilms.shockwave.com/af/content/atom_1403)?

[Lefty]

DAMN fires of history is right, and i forgot the solo time...when i listened to it today (34th day in a row, thank you very much) i looked and he was right. I also forgot castles made of sand and the ghost of tom joad. both of which are great songs.

I have no idea, but a great song indeed.

[Fires of History]

Lefty,

Yeah, when Page goes solo, it's nothing but ear candy. Right now I'm listening to Achilles Last Stand, and Page just makes that guitar sing! Anyway...lol

Hey Lefty, how many days in a row are you shooting for? I had a friend who went a year, listening to his favorite 5 Led songs everyday (Achilles Last Stand, Stairway To Heaven, Whole Lotta Love, Kashmir, and Battle of Evermore- GOD did I get tired of hearing about those all the time!!!). Are you going for a year? If so, you are a Led Head indeed my friend.

Deadpool52,

Have you ever watched Wizard of Oz muted with Dark Side of the Moon on?

*Ahem*
That's a Bob Dylan cover...lol.

[hawarameen]

Redemption song BOB MARLEY

Voodoo child JIMY HENDRIX

also BOB MARLEY did an awsome cover of sugar sugar (cant recall the original artist) anyone heard it?

[Fires of History]

Guerrillaradio,

Yeah, true, but I prefer the RATM version. I just forgot to give ol' Dylan the credit. Like with Rockin in the Free World by K's Choice, my favorite version of that song is actually a live Pearl Jam bootleg.

[munkey soup]

Wayward Son by Kansas ;)

Man, I thought you needed to be high for that?

Shine On You Crazy Diamond, all parts, is like twenty minutes long, and a fucking melding point to listen to.

Have you ever heard The Ghost Song?

Funny how you put White Rabbit, for I put that on my top ten list somewhere else.

big long now is underrated because it sucks.

drain you is awesome, it is not underated, and it is not off of the incesticde album.

and aneurysm and tourettes both kick ass, some of my most favorites. you also forget "even in his youth" and "d7" and "negative creep" and "blew"

you missed them. Fellow nirvana comrad. I am ahamed.

:( just kidding

[Lefty]
