A perfect song? What are your choices?


Can there be such a thing as a perfect song? I have a suggestion, what are yours? Here is a thought...

JIMI HENDRIX EXPERENCE Side three of ELECTRIC LADYLAND . I could not pick just one song ,sorry

Jane's Addiction Three Days, Then She Did...

Joni Mitchell Edith and The Kingpin, Song For Sharon, Hejira

Steely Dan Aja, Josie

Fleetwood Mac Dreams, Sara

I could go on but I won't.

Those songs get a lot of play and, as well and being outstanding songs in their own right, they have associated memories attached that make them even more special to me.

Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah", Leonard Cohen's "Anthem"', Elton John "Live Like Horses", You've Lost That Loving Feeling "Righteous Brothers, Emmylou Harris "Calling My Children Home"

"Manic Monday" The Bangles

"Behind Blue Eyes" The Who

"The Road to Moscow" Al Stewart

"Trouble Comin' Everyday" Mothers of Invention

"Crazy" Patsy Cline

"Paint It Black" The Rolling Stones

”Tangled Up In Blue” Bob Dylan

"Diamonds And Rust" Joan Baez

etc. etc. etc......
