Well I've been at this one for 6-7 hours now. I gotta agree with most of what you all posted.
gwm - For what it's worth would be on my list
Steve - redeemed himself, sometimes his favorite from a group makes me go WT?? but they did good songs ... LOL ... But Neil's
Ohio is epic, the studio versions guitar work makes you
FEEL the national guard marching in to subdue the students
RX - The Beatles, I was weaned on them, the medley is a fav, but
Oh, Darling with its guitar that just defines a nagging partner. Then in
Rain, "I can show you that when it rains or shines, it's just a state of mind", what a statement & Ringo's drum work, you just gotta LISTEN to it.
I Want You (she's so heavy) Crank up your speakers, until you can feel it, put on the headphones, lay on the floor and drift away with the storm, when they cut it mid-bar at the end I guarantee you will skip at least two heartbeats as you come back to earth, I used to do that with the kid, we would both gasp, grab our chest and look at each other to see if we were back.
The rooftop concert from Let it Be, after all the fighting when they got together and just played their joy still shined through. The forum wouldn't let me list the rest, Across the Universe, Helter Skelter... Plus what they did on their own. No way to choose 1 fav.
Where did I go when I started looking? Bob Dylan's
Tangled up in Blue &
It takes a lot to laugh, it takes a train to cry and 100 more from Bob. Then off to the Grateful Dead,
Friend of the Devil and a dozen more from them. The Band's
The Weight. Steppenwolf's
Pusher. Niel Young, where to even start,
Down by the River. Lynrd Skynrd, Charlie Daniels, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zep, and on and on ...
But a song we hoped would define our generation ... hoped, fought & died
