I'll start off, my favorite song is all along the watch tower by Jimi Hendrix. That guitar at the start just sounds so beautiful.

Yes - Owner of a lonely heart

[-] Nemo@midwest.social 11 points 5 months ago

It's a good one!

Much better than owner of a broken heart.

[-] hakase@lemm.ee 10 points 5 months ago

Probably a-ha's "Take On Me" if I'm being honest.

[-] 200ok@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Nice.. I enjoy "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" by Tears for Fears

[-] hakase@lemm.ee 3 points 5 months ago

An excellent choice.

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 10 points 5 months ago

I am a very mood based listener so I rotate things a lot and enjoy a wide diversity of music... but I honestly think there have been few songs to approach the level of Around The World/Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger

[-] BurningnnTree@lemmy.one 3 points 5 months ago

Good choice

I like Mudman from Pink Floyd, tasty jam

Excellent choice, I was gonna recommend And Then There Was Silence, but most people probably don't have 14 minutes to spare for a metal interpretation of The Iliad.

Place in Line, Chris Smither

https://youtu.be/MztnxPiiDbI

Loosen your shoes
Don't listen to news
That keeps you up at night

Don't try to explain
Try not to complain
No one really cares

And don't try to find
Your place in line
'Cause it's everywhere

You don't need to find your place in line
'Cause it's everywhere

Puddle of Mud - Blurry

Alexi Murdoch - Wait

[-] Chef_Boyardee@lemm.ee 4 points 5 months ago

Patience - Guns n Roses

[-] ciapatri@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Nearly impossible to narrow down to one song. Basically a tie between these five:

  • Ten Years After - I'd Love to Change the World
  • Pink Floyd - Time
  • AFI - God Called in Sick Today
  • Avenged Sevenfold - Dear God
  • Brad Paisley - Water

When the rain begins to fall by Jermaine Jackson & Pia Zadora

Audio source (archive.org)

[-] maculata@aussie.zone 3 points 5 months ago

My fav is that one song. By, that guy…

You know.

Like Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo! But like better than that.

[-] blackstrat@lemmy.fwgx.uk 3 points 5 months ago

I mean I can't pick one really. Parabol/Parabola by Tool ranks pretty high

(I told you I can't really pick one)

[-] ludrol@bookwormstory.social 3 points 5 months ago

As I recently watched "perfect days" right now my favourite is feeling good by Nina Simone

[-] cheesymoonshadow@lemmings.world 2 points 5 months ago

Can't pick a single favorite but yours made me think of one of my favorites that's a guitar piece: Cliffs of Dover by Eric Johnson.

[-] TheHowTM@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I'm almost hesitant to say as it feels pretentious, but Debussy's Clair de lune from the Suite bergamasque. I listen to most genres in some capacity. I could probably narrow down to a top five or ten, including Clair de lune, but the other tracks I would struggle to place relative to each other. Cdl is the only one that stands above the others, which I can listen to literally at any time. Lang Lang did a performance in 2022 which is the closest I've found to a perfect recording of the piece.

There are days where I might go for a walk, stop by the river close to my house, sit on a bench on the bank, pop this on my phone and just look out on the water. I'll watch the birds swooping around, and butterflies on the flowers nearby, the wind blowing the water's surface, and the clouds over the trees, and just listen. It makes me think of the beauty and impermanence of life and living. Of the complexity and insignificance of our being. Of the individual and the mass. Of my own place in the world, and in spite of my resolutely nihilistic worldview, my own life's value. Of death and its inevitability, but also its necessity.

It's one of very few things which can inspire in me that child-like wonder we were all once so acquainted with. I once listened to it sitting alone on an outcropping overlooking Lake Tahoe. My friends were alarmed when I returned to the group wiping my eyes and waxing poetic about the concept of beauty.

I will also say the Rammstein's Du Hast is a fucking banger.

Nothing else matters - Metallica

This Song opened my mind for the World of Metal and guitars. I started to learn how to play guitar shortly after hearing it the first time

[-] Nath@aussie.zone 2 points 5 months ago

Funny: so many Metallica fans hated this song with a passion that is holy. They called it a sellout to popular music just to make the charts and a complete deviation from their previous work.

So for this song to be the gateway to metal for you, is a real counter point to those angry fans.

The Mind Electric by Miracle Musical.

It starts off going backwards then it plays forwards and I find it absolutely mesmerizing

Currently it's definitely a tie between Bound For The Floor by Local H and My Own Worst Enemy from Lit because I'm hear for a good time in life.

[-] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 months ago

I don't know if it's a favorite exactly, but I pretty much always like hearing Rock and Roll by Led Zeppelin.
