I'm a Man was originally the Spencer Davis Group, also a compelling performance.

I love threads like this, the ones that send you straight to youtube in the hopes of finding a 'new' awesome tune to add to your playlist. Like with everyone else, many of my faves have already been listed, but here's a sweet group of tunes...

1. Bring It On Home To Me Sam Cooke (The growing emotion just hits you in the face.)
2. Biggest Part Of Me Ambrosia (Man, the build up that leads you into singing, "Make a wish, bay-beeeeee...." out loud. Phenomenal!!)
3. My Maria B.W. Stevenson (The opening guitar licks just grab you, and it's impossible NOT to start trying to hit those high notes!!!)
4. Down In A Hole Alice In Chains (Although hauntingly sad now due to Layne Staley's impending death, the Unplugged version is simply magnificent.)
5. Roll Me Away Bob Seger (A ton of great moments as we're taken along on the journey of his soul.)
6. Let Me Take You Home Tonight Boston (Gets a lot less ink than the other songs on the album, but a truly beautiful plea from Brad Delp.)
7. Wot's...Uh The Deal David Gilmour (He slays this slow tune during 'Live In Gdańsk,' leaving you wondering why Floyd never played it live. I mean he frickin' refers to alchemy in a love song, for cripes sake!)
8. Another Park, Another Sunday The Doobie Brothers (I can't possibly get enough of this somber song.)
9. Over You Bryan Ferry & Roxy Music (If the raw emotion of a girl leaving you was ever perfectly set to music, this would be it.)
10. Try And Love Again Eagles (A very little known song that has Randy Meisner hitting it out of the park.)
11. Run Runaway Slade (Leave your car windows open, so everyone can hear you belting this one out!!)
12. Run Collective Soul (See #8.)
13. Operator (That's Not The Way It Feels) Jim Croce (Is there anyone who hears this song and DOESN'T believe Croce is actually making that call??)
14. Ooh La La Ronnie Lane (With Lane singing this one on his 'BBC Sessions,' you can't understand why The Faces didn't use his vocal on it way back when.)
15. These Arms Of Mine Otis Redding (C'mon, darling, please come back to me!!!)
16. Let Me Roll It Paul McCartney & Wings (Just a great live version of a song!)
17. Since You Been Gone Rainbow (See #11.)
18. You Keep Runnin' Away 38 Special (Saw them do this song at a fair out here and was hooked!!)
19. Summer Breeze Seals & Croft (Nothing needs to be said about this one.)
20. I've Been Searching So Long Chicago (A growing, melodious song that seems to joyfully stretch on forever...)

Rolling Stones- Gimme Shelter

[Peter_Spaeth]

Not sure if Gloria, the original by Them, has been mentioned. A classic of the garage rock genre that never gets old.

Rare card included. Van looks young.

[irv]

"Wish you were here" Pink Floyd
"Feeling Stronger everyday" Chicago
"Do you feel like we do" Frampton comes alive
"All along the Watchtower" Jimi Hendrix
"The wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" Gordon Lightfoot
"Hero's" David Bowie

I love “Maps”.

[tschock]

Some awesome songs already listed, but a couple not listed yet.
"At Last" - Etta James

Going old school with one of the best of all time and ironically named.
"Sing, Sing, Sing" (almost any live version with Goodman and Krupa)

[TUM301]

Damn Good - David Lee Roth
I`ll Be Around For Awhile -Steve Vai

Great selections!

That tune from Dave is one of his best. Forgotten all about it until you mentioned it. I hit up Youtube to hear it again.

There are about a thousand songs that I have on shuffle and just play continuously.
Then I check out the suggestions on this thread and the other music threads.

I really appreciate that you guys dig past the Gold record hits that have been overplayed. Even those are sometimes worth hearing a few thousand times more but I think you aficionados know what I mean.

Tonight as I was “shuffling” I heard these two back to back and thought of this thread :

Al Stewart - “Year of the Cat”
Todd Rundgren - “Hello it’s Me”

Yes they were hits, but these songs are perfect every note.
I don’t think I really care for any other stuff by either artist. But these songs…Home Runs!

Whaddya think?

Com'n Brian, you don't like "Just One Victory" or "We Gotta Get You a Woman"?

Or check out some off Rundgren's stuff when he was with the group Utopia.
