Shuke's 1400 favorite songs by 1400 different artists. (3 Viewers)

4. My Morning Jacket - Circuital

If you only listen to this for the first few minute of this and decide you don't like it, please keep listening.  

Another band I got into long after their start.  After seeing that thread about them just killing it for so long (a @Mr. Pickles favorite), I had to look into them.  Probably a top 5 band for me, although I think have said that a dozen times now.

I love these guys but know embarrassingly little - considering that they are a Louisville band.

3. Pink Floyd - Time

I love the alarms.  I love the first part that sounds like something out of a spaghetti western, I love the lyrics, everything about this song is perfect.  I've always felt this was the greatest album of all time.  Watching the Dark Side of the Rainbow solidified it.  The entire album now feels different, like its ingrained in my soul.  I don't know maybe I'm high.

Also considered: Echoes, Shine on you Crazy Diamond, Fearless, Pigs, Dogs

I've seen more MMJ shows than any other band.  I don't love their last 3 albums that much but the first 4 are fantastic and I'll always see them live.

Used to make sweet love to Mrs. SLB to this song.  Of course her favorite was Brain Damage.  Because I was an exciting lunatic at the time.

Love the choice, but ... my guest pick was:  ?? 😎

 
2. Led Zeppelin - In the Light

Reminds me of cruising the suburban streets at 17, smoking cigarettes in my '77 Chevy Impala.  Led Zeppelin is the soundtrack of my life during high school.  I have such an emotional attachment to them.  

Not sure what really needs to be said about this band.  Just freaking incredible. 

Other favorites: Ten Years Gone, The Rain Song, Stairway to Heaven, Tangerine, No Quarter

 
Love me some Floyd, but dont get the Wizard of Oz sync up thing.  I guess I need to hit the bowl harder? 
It's really not synced well, and I've smoked a ton in my day. I think it's just the serious prog of the music fused with the weird contrast of stark realism and technicolor dreamworld of The Wizard Of Oz.

The song I was literally singing when I opened the thread.  Personally can't put it at 2 but one of my all time favorites.  Top 5 for sure.

Sorry to hijack GB :bag:

Well, it was a run. You tried. Good effort.

And if you feel that you can't go on 
And your will's sinkin' low 
Just believe and you can't go wrong 
In the light you will find the road (You will find the road)


And if you feel that you can't go on 
In the light you will find the road


In the light 
Everybody needs the light 
In the light, in the light, in the light


Light, light, light, in the light 
Light, light, light, in the light, oh, yeah 
Light, light, light, in the light

Actually rules. 

Couldn’t agree more GB. It’s deep. My favorite, most poignant album of all time, totally get it. 

Wtf is this third. 

 
1. Grateful Dead - Eyes of the World

Ate the ripe age of 16 years and one month, my parents let me go with 3 other guys from Dayton to Cincinnati to see the Grateful Dead.  My life would never be the same.  I didn't know many of the songs I heard at the time, but I loved it all, including this song played in the second set and straight into drums.

The live album I linked to was released in April 1991, right before I graduated high school.  I bought it immediately.  Later that fall, my good friends and I drove up to Cleveland to see the Dead play at the Richfield Coliseum.  I can't remember if I had started school at UC yet, but this was with my high school friends, and were all parting different ways.  The show was where the Cavs used to play, but was out in the middle of nowhere. There was a campground nearby where we stayed with thousands others, and we able to walk to and from the show(s).  I believe there were two that weekend but can't remember if we went to both.  Regardless, it was one of the greatest weekends of my life.  

I know others may point to better versions of the song, there are some great ones with Branford Marsalis on sax.  But I've listen to this live album more than anything in my life. And probably this song more than any other.

Not sure how Nipsey knew this.
