@hifiguy42 Thanks for checking in re: "Tighten Up." Doesn't matter how many years go by - it's always cool to know someone shares the joy of a great piece of music. Btw, good reminder to go back and read the whole thread!
1 song you never get sick of?
Name 1 song no matter how many times you heard it, or how much others are sick of it, you still love it!
There are a lot for me, but if I had to pick one, it would be
Lobo: me, you, and a dog named Boo.
there are tons, but this song, every time I hear it, the world stops, and I must sing along.

@keegiam I know it's been years since you posted your response, but on my way home from work last night I listened to "Tighten Up" about ten times in a row. Everything about this song is fantastic. I especially love the little laugh at the beginning, even the singer can't contain his joy. |
Excellent picks @roxy54 to which I would add expecting to fly by buffalo Springfield and calling over time by Edith frost |

Most of songs without lyrics. Khruangbin band is one of those examples. Tigran Hamasyan or Yegor Zabelov are another champions on that genre. That is to say that songs WITH lyrics even if they are super great, I can eventually get sick from those. I already cannot stand neither Stairway to Heaven or even Shine on Your Crazy Diamond! I’d really be happy to hear "Haitian Divorce" of Steely Dan from time to time -- I don’t think it was more frequently heard than two above mentioned. Would never disagree that all songs listed are indeed great. |
I like listening to Flowers by Miley Cyrus |
