ĬR - Sarcastic lyrics are Browne's specialty. There is an excellent article about this song at. In 2007, Kanye West released the song "Champion" on his double-platinum album Graduation that samples Kid Charlemagne extensively.ĬR- The first portion of the song is sometimes broken out as a song entitled "Your Move." The bass, guitar, drums and vocals starting at 3:30 and through 4:50 are a treat for me.ĬR - if you dislike the Eagles you probably shouldn't bother with this one. The lyrics were loosely inspired by the exploits of the infamous 1960s San Francisco-based LSD chemist Owsley Stanley.
Nice composition with telling lyrics, tasty but not overpowering guitar and horns that are pleasantly integrated.ĬR- The guitar solo by jazz-fusion guitarist Larry Carlton was ranked #80 in the list of the 100 greatest guitar songs by Rolling Stone. Soul - from the wonderful Songs in the Key of Life albumĦ1 Todd Rundgren / Can We Still Be FriendsĬR- The song is generally assumed to be about Rundgren's breakup with long-time companion Bebe Buell in 1977.ĬR- this song effectively tugs my emotional stringsħ1 Led Zeppelin / The Song Remains The Sameħ2 Joe Jackson / You Can't Get What You Want (Till You Know What You Want)ĬR?-Not sure if this fits in anyone's CR bin. There is an earlier version that was not quite as rockin'.ĥ5ěonnie Raitt / I Can't Make You Love Meĥ6 U2 / I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For I enjoy the tight composition and execution by Elton and his band.
Folks who are interested in recording engineers, may be interested in the performance by David Hentschel on the synthesizer in this song.Ĥ8 Tears for Fears/ Everybody Wants to Rule the WorldĬR- the lyrics are wide open to interpretation and some have said that this song is about repressive religious and educational traditions in the UK and elsewhere. At 1:55 the song becomes more recognizable as a Taupin composition as Elton starts playing the piano. It patiently builds up adding different instruments along the way.
I hear it fine on my computer speakers, but not in the car or in the living room Nice bridge starting at 2:33.Ĥ2Ĝrosby, Stills & Nash / Suite: Judy Blue EyesĤ5Ğlton John / Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies BleedingĬR - Elton and Bernie Taupin's Opus starts off a bit slow and hauntingly. I wish that the blazing guitar in this song that starts at about 0:14 and pops in at various other times throughout the song was mixed a bit more prominently. Finale: Presto - Allegro Assaiģ2 Rolling Stones / Sympathy For The DevilĬR (considered Jazz Fusion by wikipedia) - Great interplay of horns, drums, guitar and vocals. Duane Allman joins in later with some nice interchange between the two leads thereafter.Ģ9 Janos Ferencsik / Beethoven: Symphony #9 In D Minor, IV. Betts' very smooth and flowing lead guitar solo starts at 1:07. The song is about his native american girlfriend. Admittedly the lyrics are a bit trite.Ģ2 Marvin Gaye & Tammy Terrell / Ain't No Mountain High EnoughĬR - Dicky Betts first lead vocal performance with the ABB. The vocals are delivered with power that interplays well with the guitar. Soul - The wah wah guitar is awesome throughout, but especially starting at 2:20. The end of this song shares some quote from another Who song, "Pure and Easy" which I believe was on their compilation album entitled "Odds and Sods." I also very much enjoy the interplay between Townsend and Daltry on vocals. Molto VivaceĬR - The transition from 1:59 through 2:34 captivated me and I thoroughly enjoyed Keith Moon's contributions in drums in this portion of the song. A simple yet poignant lyrical moment for me is provided at 1:52, "now I know the secret, there is nothing that - I lack if I give my love to you, you'll surely give it back." I also appreciate the bass and piano interplay in the song.ġ3Ĝarlo Maria Giulini: London Symphony Orchestra / Beethoven: Symphony #9 In D Minor, Op. The interplay between the rhythm guitar and drums works well for me. Given the very clear instructions from Moonbeam, I plan to place hyperlinks on this page for the songs on YouTube, as soon as I can.Ģ Jimi Hendrix / All Along The Watchtowerĩ Simon & Garfunkel / Bridge Over Troubled Waterġ0 Rolling Stones / (I Can't Get No) SatisfactionĬR- Clapton's vocals work pretty well on this song which is not as heavy on fast paced and raucous guitar leads.
NB - many of the comments are not my original comments but taken from various other sources. I recommend that all those who did not put STH in their top 500 take strides to avoid most of the CR tunes discussed below. Non-CR - at least Henry doesn't think that this song is CR I will start tonight with my top 1000 songs and hope to add more in the next day or so. I can't wait for him to entertain us with more videos. Moonbeam's list had so many great songs, but the highlight for me was viewing his videos. Thanks again to Moonbeam for this fantastic idea.
