A thread full of ESSENTIAL songs for your music collection...

[Withdean Wanderer]

Just been shifting through my Itunes this morning, and realised my music collection has become a bit stale.

So, I ask NSCers to please recommend ONE song that should be in EVERY music collection. The Classics! Any genre from any era, just make it a TUNE.


My current favourite classic - Rolling Stones, Jumping Jack Flash.

Thanks!

Definition of the word 'Essential' - absolutely necessary; indispensable.

Doesn't apply to any of the above.

Spirit in the Sky (Dr & the Medics)

Baggy Trousers (Madness)

Bohemian Rhapsody (Queen). just accept it!

Bizarre. It is absolutely the definition I would apply to almost all of the suggested tracks. I see you don't offer alternatives.

I Heard It Through The Grapevine - Marvin Gaye

 

[dougdeep]

Free Bird.

 

[chez]

Seven Cities - Solar Stone

 

[Lankyseagull]

Anything by Will Conrad and the Westerners.

You won't regret it

For the simple reason that not everybody has the same taste. It's pointless using words like essential unless it's in the right context, such as, it's essential to breathe to stay alive. Most of the above mentioned would have me switching to a Country Station if they came on my radio.

Morrissey - All You Need Is Me

Superstylin' - Groove Armada
