Your most perfect songs ever...

[Bigga]

For the record, I also like 'Driftwood'.

However, I like "The End" - The Doors (my location should tell you that!)
and the very brilliantly written "Protection" - Massive Attack.

 

[TheMightyQuinn]

The world should listen to more music by the La's, rather than just 'there she goes'

A couple off the top of my head of my 'most beatiful' favourite songs as you put it Guv:

That joke isn't funny anymore - The Smiths:

The Crystal Ship - the Doors:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_-pDIuCiao

I love most of what The La's ever recorded VD and whilst TSG is a little overplayed etc etc it is still their most perfect moment. Obvious but true .

Crystal Ship is my favourite Doors song too baby.

The crystal ship is an amazing song, it's on their self titled album which I think is a brilliant album. If you haven't already heard it give it a try, but skip 'end of the night', it's the only shit song on it

It's my favourite Doors album, End Of The Night is a bit turd but it isnt that bad really. I like most of The Doors stuff to be honest.

Good call,Knight.
Swap "I Only Said" for "When You Sleep" and "Crystal Days" for "Villier's Terrace" and it's so good its scary.
Still deaf in one ear from MBV last w/end.

 

[Knight1979]

I'm going to try to see them in San Francisco Sept. 30th!! Can't wait!!

Nijinsky, are you into Boris? They are kind of all over the place but "Pink" which was released a couple of years ago has some shoegaze in it.

I saw them last weekend and they were amazing.

 

[Balti]

too hard this!

a song that I should not like because it is not Slaughter and the Dogs; Where have all the bootboys gone (which is obviously the best love song in history), and is probably not cool, but love anyway is:

Don Henley, Boys of Summer:

Yeah,they certainly are different.Only heard "farewell" and the myspace downloads,but like it.
Like a cross between Soundgarden and Enter Shikari on bad acid.
Take your earplugs to MBV mate,(unless i'm getting old),and enjoy!
And have a fab Independance Day tomorrow.

 

[Dave H]

Nope, sorry.

They're just you're favourite songs dragged out into a very long list.

Please sellect some good ones from You Tube (etc) so we can judge for ourselves.

It's not that long a list really.... trust me, it could have been a lot longer!

And yes, they are some very special songs for me... i thought that was the whole point of the thread, no?

Ok... this might take a while, but i will endeavour to find a link for each track.
