What songs do you never get tired of?

Darling be home soon-Slade's Version

He Went To Paris.......Jimmy Buffett

The Can: Vitamin C, Mother Sky, Bellow This Level..., Como Sta... Never ever got tired of Can songs any... any album

I know it's not cool in some circles to mention country music...but there are two songs I love--and with the memories they conjure up--they'll live in me forever.
Whiskey Lullaby by Brad Paisley...there's a story behind the song, that is so poignant that I'll share with whoever wants to know it. Write me lrsky@insightbb.com
Lyric of note..."He put a bottle to his head and pulled the trigger"...wow youtube's video is a tear jerker too.
One More Day--Diamond Rio...
The country music awards were on about a week after the 9/11 attack--during the 'In Memoriam' section of the show, mentioning all those who'd died that year in Country Music, they perfomed an Homage to the 9/11 victims, which in a curious way is the whole world, certainly all Americans, of course some, more than others--and when Diamond Rio started singing this, and pictures of the Twin Towers smouldering appeared, the Nashville elite collectively lost it, crying and holding one another--unabashedly, gut wrenchingly sobbing for the whole world to see.
No one who saw this and heard this song, could hold back the tears.
Also, anyone who's lost a loved one either through death or stupidity--wishes for that, "One More Day".

Music...there's nothing like it.

Pretty much anything from Donald Fagen's "Nightfly" album. Astonishing writing.

Victims of Comfort- Keb Mo'
Cocaine Blues - Any and all versions
Comfortably Numb - Floyd
Message From Turner - M. Jagger
Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead -Tierney Sutton
My Own Peculiar Way -Willie N.
The End - Doors
Who Says- J. Mayer
And... gee,I hate to admit this but I feel compelled to be truthful here...Dancing Queen (yeah, THAT one)

Charles Aznabour's 'Yesterday When I Was Young'...on youtube...singing in English, with his somewhat thick French accent.
He wrote the song, though most people think that Roy Clark wrote it, as he had a major hit with this one many years ago.
Aznavour OWNS this...wow, great lyrics...and sadly too true.

"Taste Of Honey"

Since the operative phrase is "never tire", I'll stick to songs that are at least 10 years old. This would be a very long list, so -pop and rock only - 1 per decade:

'50's:
Johnny B. Goode-Chuck Berry (still the perfect song, in my book)
'60's:
Hello, It's Me - Todd Rundgren (IMHO the best readings came in the '70s, but the song was born in the '60's and this one will be with me forever)
'70s:
Go Your Own Way - Fleetwood Mac (one of the last links in the chain of truly immortal rock n roll songs that were also massive hits.)
'80s:
No More Casual Sex - Kid Creole (A lyric that I'll always treasure tied to a perfect dance song, topped off by an immortal fanfare from the horn section. My wife nixed this one for out first dance - party pooper!)
'90s:
Mother, I Just Can't get Enough - New Radicals (Gregg Alexander's rework of "Sympathy For The Devil" is not only IMHO better than the dozens of other "virtual covers" -okay, ripoffs- of SFTD out there, it is one of only two that I prefer to the original. World Party's "Way Down, Now" being the other.)

Obviously this list is reflective of my own quirky preferences, but there are so many songs that qualify that I simply chose those which have - I believe- logged the most "air time" in my house/car. As good a standard as any, I think for "never tire of".

BTW, Larry there are some amazing country songs out there. Rosanne Cash covers some timeless examples on her last album, The List, with amazing impact, so no need to apologize for going there. OTOH, if you include every genre, (start with doo wop, then jazz, then country, ...) you'll be here a looooong time.
