The GF's Favourite Ever Song - Round 1 - Group T

[Bjornebye]

I couldn't find just a Tom Morello version so this will have to do unless whoever nominated it can find a different one?

Marvin, didn't have to think long about that one.

 

His best vocal in my opinion.

Same.

Springsteen and Morello. The guitar work is outstanding.

Bruce, but only for the acoustic album version, and the RATM cover it spawned. The Long and Winding Road is a weird one. One of those songs that should've stayed on the album, but shouldn't have been a single. 

 

Listening to that Band on the Run album makes me sad. McCartney still had it here. Same with Lennon. We could've had a final Beatles record with songs like Band on the Run, Working Class Hero, Mother, Imagine, Jealous Guy, Jet, 1985, Mind Games and Live and Let Die on it. They would've been even better than the recorded versions as well because the pair of them elevated each other's songwriting.

The Beatles. Not their best but good enough to beat the opposition.

Good point. Out of rep.

This.

It's a brilliant song. Morello's guitar is amazing. Love the acoustic version too.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

That Marvin Gaye song is lovely. I've never been a fan of The Long & Winding Road; Let Me Roll It is better. The least said about Parquet Courts the better.

 

Tom Joad is the best of this bunch.

There's a programme about a Beatles 'Black Album' made up of solo cuts on Sky Arts tonight I think. A repeat.

 

Maybe I'm Amazed & How Do You Sleep would definitely go on there too.

[Tony Moanero]

The Long and Winding Road is my favourite Beatles song. Marvin Gaye in second place. Total Fooball is muck, in my opinion.

It was me who nominated The Ghost of Tom Joad and I did mean Springsteen featuring Tom Morello.

This version's fine mate.

Cheers for the heads up on that.

I just cant like Springsteen's music. A few decent songs but just cant take to him overall.

Nice one, I've just downloaded it.

 

Selected songs from the first couple of solo albums would be as good as anything the Beatles did. You only have to look at Anthology 3 to see the strength of George's stuff, some Macca stuff as well (Junk). Lennon kept his solo stuff to himself! 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

For me The Long and winding Road is one of the best songs ever written, and the execution takes it to the next level.
