[Music] Give Me A Song That...

[Bring back Bryan wade!!]

A really tough decision to make but I’ve plumped for [MENTION=15122]SuperSteve[/MENTION]Earle and a stone cold Mac classic.

Looking forward to your category tomorrow.

Looking forward to your category tomorrow.

Wow, I'm deeply honoured. Also awake at 5.00 am feeling off colour due to double Covid/flu jab so I can post my category early with usual deadline of 11.59 tonight!

Most exciting intro that makes you desperate to hear the song

Obviously I can't win, but here's a great example:

The Queen Majesty Riddim.

There are versions galore of this, but the intro on this Tenor Saw piece always gives me goosebumps.

The Who - Babar O’Riley.

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Or maybe a song that made thousands of youngsters want to get an electric guitar

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

 

[Super Steve Earle]

This is fun and luckily I only need to listen to the intro's if I know the song (obviously I won't know HWT). I have a leader so far

An intriguing one where you can go a number of different ways. The short burst of 'No Particular Place to Go', the racing solo before the rest of the band kicks in of Iron Maiden's 'Phantom of the Opera', the spoken word preacher hype up of live soul stuff like Wilson Picket's 'Land of a Thousand Dances'. Or you could just go straight for the greatest 'throw absolutely everything we've got at this' intro a la [MENTION=22975]DavidinSouthampton[/MENTION]'s, hard to surpass suggestion. In the end I went with the latter, and the only intro for me that might beat 'Baba O'Reilly':

I make no apologies for going for such an OBVIOUS choice. As [MENTION=22849]Stato[/MENTION] says, there are different examples of an intro - but if you like a slow build, this is flawless...

That's not why I picked songs under 3 minutes.

I'll give you something highly accessible. As soon as I hear that guitar jangling, I'm IN!

I'm beginning to wonder if this is in fact the electric guitar thread

I think our age demographic will mean a lot of classic rock will get suggested. That seems fine, as a lot of it is classic because it's very good. We're only on the third category, so hopefully, future questions will take us into some lesser discussed areas and genres. The category 'best song without a guitar on it' would obviously be an option for anyone who gets to choose in the future (and would seem a very interesting one). I've been asking my kids for their contributions and have got some interesting stuff from Gen Z . However, electric guitars have still been to the forefront on their suggesions too. - My youngest is obsessed with MCR and a load of lesser known emo bands like 'The Used' and 'The Academy Is'.

I notice that Icy did an 'Arthur 'Two Suggestions' Jackson' though. Tut tut.

Sorry, I confess that I did not read the opening post properly, it won't happen again

Loving the Monty Python reference though

It's a great thread idea though, gonna enjoy it I think
