What!? It makes me happy

Beautiful songs, eh?  Hmm, interesting concept.  Here's some of my faves:

Enya- Wild Child (yeah, I listen to certain soft stuff )
Jimmy Buffet- Jolly Mon
Phil Collins- In The Air Tonight
Led Zeppelin- Stairway to Heaven

and one other '80s song that I cant remember the name of.

The five most beautiful songs for me are:

1. Hotel California - Eagles
2. Paradise by the dashboard light - Meatloaf
3. Stairway to heaven - Led Zeppelin
4. Child in time - Deep Purple
5. Master of puppets - Metallica

Not in this particular order.

your right there andy, but i had to pick between those two, if i could go back and change it it would be "two for tragedy" as it goes with what i wrote in my profile on a different site, it kinda goes with it, and also "slipped away" by Avril Lavigne for obvious reasons as it mentions in the title.

I love any song which isn't smoochy-smoochy, luvvy-duvvy, kissy-kissy, weepy-weepy, drippy-drippy, etc.... ...!

...just give me good old-fashioned, ear-bendin', heavy-metal, guitar-flailin' drum-bashin', bass-banging, keyboard kickin', hair-wavin', penile-pokin', microphone-suckin', rock'n roll...  ...!
...any day of the week...!

That's what "Real Men" should be involved in.... ...!

...trust me... ...!
LOL...!

Paul The Real Man with all the kit...; ...8)...!
LOL...!

I think as a tribute to those that died and as a statement against what caused him to commit such a terrible deed it is beutiful, mainly because it was such a heart felt delivery (and because of the way the music behind the lyrics were composed.)

I personally don't see why beautiful has to be happy ??? some of the most beautiful classical music is deeply dark.

Oh yeah and I have listened to Sock's choices and I like your style lol very bluesy 8)

Where did you find a recording of "Sweet Lady Mary"?  No one knows that song, let alone The Faces.  Which is a shame really, 'cause their a rockin' good band.  One of the best British rock acts right up there with Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones in my opinion.  Anyway, yeah, I didn't hear "Sweet Lady Mary" until I bought one of their albums, and it was a hard album to find on CD!  And a lucky find at the local hippies' record store.    But if you like it, go to one of the major chain stores like Best Buy or FYE because they are the only places I've found that have any Faces, and believe me, its worth the $20, even with Rod Stewart fronting.  

I've always been a big fan of the blues (thanks in part to the wonderful Blues Brothers introducing it to me.  Infact, I almost put down their live version of "Shotgun Blues".  ).  But I've always been a bigger fan of heavily blues influenced rock n' roll; The Rolling Stones, Cream, Janis Joplin, The Faces, Ronnie Wood, etc, etc...  Of course its even better when a dash of soul is put in the music.  Like on Joplin's "I Got Dem ol' Kosmic Blues again Mama!" album and Ronnie Wood's "Now Look", the later being on of my all time favorate recordings.

Sorry to have hijacked the thread like this, but I'm very passionate about this type of music.

As far as I know then there are only four Faces fans left...  And I'm the only American one.  lol    Though, I have been trying to get everyone I know and all my classmates to listen to them.  Trying to spread the good word and all.

Yeah I know, but I enjoy The Faces more.    To me, the The Faces are more rock n' roll than The Small Faces.   They just have a vibe that the old band didn't. 

Besides they only put out five real albums, plus two greatest hits.  Its easy to find "Oh La La", "A Nod is as Good as a Wink to a Blind Horse", or the greatest hits, but the other three are harder to come by on CD.

1. The Who - Baba O'Riley (best song ever!)
2. The Doors - The End
3. Led Zeppelin - Stairway to heaven (the live versions)
4. Golden Earring - Radar Love
5. Pink Floyd - Wish you were here

I see you must be a fan of the work of ELP?
