timeless songs

[tim098]

Hey softies. I was just wondering, you know all those songs with that timeless quality? Examples i can give off my head are Sweet Child of Mine and Drift Away. What do u think gives these songs that quality? the band? the riff.. solo.. babes in the music video?

 

[letterhead]

maybe these are just the songs that captured the sound of that era.

examples are maybe disco era kings and queens like michael jackson, madonna, boyband era fags like boyzone, westlife..

haha dunno if u get my point

 

[GrimRiffer]

Bohemian Rhapsody!!!

 

[shredded]

Led Zepplin - Stairway To Heaven
Lynard Skynard - Sweet Home Alabama
Metallica - Fade to black, enter sandman, nothing else matters

erm, celine dion - my heart will go on?

 

[RoRK]

Yeah! And Maury Muehleisen & Jim Croce. Time in a Bottle and Photographs and Memories!!!!!! YIKES! Great lyrics and even better guitar work. For 70's stuff, the guitar work of Maury Muehleisen was totally out of this world! Wayyyyyy ahead of his time.

RIP!

RoRK

Everyone's missing out this great song!

Knockin' On Heaven's Door!

I personally like the GNR's version although the original Bob Dylan's version sounds really nice too.

And!

Smoke On The Water by Deep Purple.

I think the rifts are one of the most memorable.
