If I had to pick one, it would be "Machine Gun" - Jimi Hendrix

[rbock]

Guess I'l go with "Fool on the Hill."

[ozzman]

Guitarzan should be mentioned. Lets here it for the monkey.

"Alfie" is an amazing song. Burt always said it was the best lyric Hal ever wrote.

Paul Simon is an incredible songwriter. You could throw a dart and hit any of a dozen or more of his songs and still be on the mark in this thread.

However, my absolute favorite song of his is "Hearts & Bones." It's about his relationship with Carrie Fisher. Maybe I love it so much because I discovered it so late, many years after it was recorded. What a song. (It's also one's of Paul's favorites too.)

I don't think that's a song. It's an experience.

I had to rapidly remove the Stairway link from the quote. For me that is a very very hard pass. I worked in a guitar store when it came out, and after. I can not tell you how many guys came in and "played" it. Most of them, badly. Sometimes painfully badly. Very few went beyond that (shudder) opening bit. I don't think I ever heard anyone playing beyond maybe a minute.

If I never hear it again would be too soon.

It is impossible to pick one, but if I had to get it down to two: the original Layla, and Jimi Hendrix's All Along the Watchtower.

OR,

Jesse Winchester The Brand New Tennessee Waltz, Bruce Cockburn If I Had A Rocket Launcher

Sure dating myself...

I'd have to go with Don McLean's American Pie. The melody and lyrics of that song are amazing.
