Likewise I just adore Jolene. Not a cover of Dame Dolly of Partonsville BTW. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barking Spiders Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I tend to tire of music quite quickly, even the stuff I like, and maybe wont listen to it again for several months or even a couple of years. There are exceptions though, some tunes I've listened to regularly over the last 30 plus years and never get bored of. East River by The Brecker Brothers Fight the power by Public Enemy Grip and most other tracks on Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers though not Peaches Born slippy, Dogman go woof, Cowgirl , Juanita/Kiteless/To dream of love by Underworld Impact, Lush , Planet of shapes Stringy acid, Girl with the sun in her hair by Orbital Paid in full by Eric B and Rakim Fuel, Ain't my beyatch, Enter sandman by Metallica Midlife crisis, We care a lot, Ricochet and Stripsearch by Faith No More Club country and Skipping by The Associates Mad world and Pale shelter by Tears for Fears Only and Safe Home by Anthrax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassbiscuits Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Police - Message in a Bottle (the drumming alone makes me want to listen to it continually) Karine Polwart - Daisy (or indeed anything of the album Scribbled in Chalk) BT - Divinity (mid 90s ambient dance track that goes on a right old journey during its 10 mins). I'm sure there's more.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassfinger Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 (edited) Carry On Wayward Son - Kansas. Nantucket Sleigh Ride - Mountain. Rock And Roll Hoocie Koo - Rick Derringer. While My Guitar Gently Weeps - The Beatles, although I love the Frampton version and some of the soulful guitar work in the Vinnie Moore instrumental version. Locomotive Breath - Jethro Tull. Could listen to any or all of these over and over...and I do. I love to immerse myself in them and cherish every note.

Newfoundfreedom Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 For me it's not so much songs as whole albums I never tire of. Guns n Roses - Appetite for Destruction Iron Maiden - Seventh Son Alice Cooper - Trash Metallic - Black To name just a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casapete Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Written by Bruce Springsteen and Steve Van Zandt, this is one of those songs that never gets old for me, despite being recorded 42 years ago. Even then it had a retro feel though, plenty of Phil Spector influence etc. Here it is being performed recently by Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul. Different key and arrangement, but just as good IMHO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seashell Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 The main song I never tire of listening to would be 'Misty Mountain Hop' by Led Zep. Probably because it hasn't been so over exposed as some of the other songs of that album. If I hear 'Stairway to Heaven' come on the radio I actually turn it off!! Thinking of songs that are a bit more likely to get some airtime, I'd say 'Stay With Me' by the Faces because it is so bloody good, and 'That's the Way I like It' by KC and the Sunshine Band because it is so uplifting. And of songs that I never tire of playing, I would say 'It's Only Rock and Roll' by the Stones. As a Stones lover and regular dep in a Stones trib band, even I get tired of 'Satisfaction' and 'Honly Tonk Women', but I always love playing 'It's Only Rock n Roll'. I think it's because the bass line is interesting but not technically difficult, so it inspires me to really rock out a bit. And audiences love it! 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeftyP Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 A few months ago we had a men's breakfast at church and I was in the hot seat in a Desert Island Disc feature. I chose my discs and one of them caused quite a stir. If I could only take one track with me to the desert island it would be MacArthur Park by Richard Harris. Many of the assembled men had not heard of it and were totally confused by the "someone left the cake out in the rain" lyrics. The whole 7 minutes 24 seconds of it is a symphony of metaphors from the pen of Jimmy Webb. The opening line; "Spring was never waiting for us girl, it ran one step ahead, as we followed in the dance", could have come from Lord Byron or Thomas Gray. Once you know the story of how it came to be written (and there are several variations on that theme) it all falls into place. The melody changes from delicate ballad to out and out rock with a full orchestra holding nothing back. The fact that it was sung by a 'hell raiser' of an actor, not noted for his singing, just adds to the enigma it has become. Every time I listen to it I hear something new and with such variations in pace and arrangements it never becomes predictable. Many people find it totally confusing but I love it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
