Ghost Rider - Make Us Stronger KD Lang - season of Hollow Soul anything on Beck Sea Change album The Hollies - The Air that I breath Blood sweat and tears - Spinning Wheel
Great nominee @cmjones! Another one by John is "Lipstick Sunset", with a glorious guitar solo by Ry Cooder. When I saw the two perform the song live (as members of Little Village), time stood still. I had an out-of-body experience, like but not as transcendental as when I listen to J.S. Bach's Concerto for 4 Harpsichords And Orchestra.
group wise because of the music and sound quality - many others if not factoring in sound quality. alan parsons, csn, dire straights, dead can dance, depeche mode, eagles,fleetwood mac, elton john , carol king, pink floyd, little feat, joni mitchell, sarah mclachlan, tom petty, rem, sting, supertramp, till tuesday, neil young and i've missed many more.
Can’t leave out "Like A Rolling Stone". It’s easy to over-look, until one hears it again. I just did, and it still sends shivers up my spine and makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Definitely in the All-Time Top 10 songs imo.
My collection is pretty large, and so much of it I place on pretty equal footing as far as quality, so it would be almost impossible to pick out one "most played song".
I will break it up among the 3 different genres I listen to.
Here are my best guesses:
Prog: YES - Close to the Edge, or King Crimson - Larks' Tongues in Aspic, or Banco - Io Sono Nato Libero
Jazz: Mahavishnu Orchestra - Eternity's Breath (Parts I and II), or maybe: Return to Forever - Duel of the Jester and the Tyrant (Parts I and II)
Classical: Bartok - Music for strings, percussion and celesta, or maybe: Elliott Carter- Concerto for Orchestra
Since you requested a song my best guess would be "My Sharona". When this song was released June 1979 I was 14 and it crushed me. Currently I considered it a Top 10 all time pop song of the 1970's! With albums Rare Silk New Weave(1983) might have been my first jazz album(Think Of One/Marsalis?) This album gets better with age!
