New Game: Favorite Music Tracks

Okay, this was prompted by a lot of tangents during the "Who Am I?" game.

The idea is that you post your favorite track (and CD/album if relevant) by a musical group or individual artist, then post the group/artist for the next person to respond to.

In answer to LittleGeek's question about my favorite Prince track:

"When Doves Cry" from Purple Rain

"How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria" from The Sound of Music

ha! I just don't see the point in yelling about what your name isn't, if you're not then going to let us know what your name is. ;-) nah, just not my cup of tea is all...

I only really know Hotel California.

Favourite Elvis track? (have we done that one?)

oops, posted late. R&H did SoM? Cool. I like "favourite things".

Is Tammi related to Faye Bakker?

Is Marvin related to the Martian?

(yes, i said i give up. Now i'm just ruining the game for everyone else. It's what i do.)

btw, "Space Truckin" was ruined for me because it was playing while i was in an uncontrollable car roll in the country. The car ended on it's side, and it was a long walk to get help. Kids, never ride without a seatbelt while balancing a boombox playing deep purple on your lap, on a dirt road in the country. I'm just sayin'.

Oh dear, I'm glad you came out of that ok, MrA. Or maybe it explains some things...;-)

Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell is what I'm assuming. I that case it is Aint Nothing Like the Real Thing.

Jesus Christ Superstar!

Favorite Carly Simon track?

(Just a note: I think it's perfectly legitimate to repeat artists, as the person responding might have a different favorite from the previous respondent. Or the same person might have a different favorite if subject to multiple personalities or something.)

George Benson is favorite jazz.

Doctor Wu, from Katy Lied

favorite Fairport Convention track?

Ok, now I have a brainworm: the awesome Tony Banks melodic to the point of absurdity keyboard riff of Firth of Forth.

I have no favorite FC track. Don't remember them at all, although I know they existed.

Fairport Convention, never the same without Sandy Denny.

Tam Lin (good one to play for Halloween)

Favorite Seals and Crofts track?

(I have no idea. But I just wanted to chime in and say that my dad was chaplain to Mr Jethro Tull's mum when she was dying. Not a happy story, but interesting all the same. He got to know him quite well.)

LadyN, did someone ask for a favorite CSNY track?

S&C: Sweet Green Fields

Never cared much for Yes (Jon Anderson too screetchy), but I suppose I could stand to hear Heart of the Sunrise once in a while.

Fav Parliament or Funkadelic track?

eta: Bruford is a god, tho. Love all his solo work.

I was gonna say All Good People, but Heart is a good track too. Agree on Anderson.

Parliament... Oh my goodness. Can't decide between Maggot Brain and Free Your Mind and Your Ass Will Follow. Both utter classics.

How about a favorite Earth Wind & Fire track?

Duffy is a welsh female solo artist. she's rather good.

ejj, I really like most of the Rockferry album, but I think my favourite is Stepping Stone.

favourite Dolly Parton track?

Boogie Wonderland CHEESY ? /me suffocates littlegeek.

That would be I Will Always Love You (hers, and definitely not the version done by Shrieker Houston)

I'm not in love, so just forget it. It's just a silly phase I'm going through. (be quiet, big boys don't cry) brilliant.

Fav PJ Harvey track?

This Mess We're In. (yay, actually heard of one of these alleged groups/musician. Well, i've heard of 10CC, but that doesn't count).

Beethoven's 5th (of scotch).

Favourite AC/DC track?

Ah, sounds like "thunderstruck", Lg.

It's a hard one to call, every Portishead song sounds the same to me... sort of like coldplay.... probably "over", just to pick something

Favorite Hole track?

I have (so far) managed to avoid the egregious Ms Love and her Hole, so I have no favourite ... but on that subject

favourite Nirvana track?

"Smells like teen spirit", finally a band I have heard of :P...

25 or 6 to 4

Fav Barenaked Ladies track?

Either "Be My Yoko Ono" or their cover of "Fight the Power," which is hilarious.

Favorite Tori Amos track?

Cornflake Girl

Have to back up to the "nobody likes the Dead" heresy. Favorite Dead song is Wharf Rat. Would like to point out that if one never saw them in concert, one couldn't appreciate them at their best--the recorded music didn't capture the wonderful trippy synchronicity of some of their concerts (not all, to be sure). Or the joyous, dancing-in-the-aisles vibe. Or the we're all peace-loving Deadheads togetherness. Or . . .

Favorite Pink Floyd track?

Comfortably Numb

Fav Police track?

Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic

(in light of prior discussion: what does a Dead fan say when he stops smoking weed? "Man, this music sucks!")

Favorite Van Morrison track?

Brown eyed girl. I think before that I didn't think anyone liked brown eyes.

And I can't believe I missed the Police. Darn. :o(

favorite Prince/Artist Formerly known as Prince/Artist Formerly known as Formerly known as Prince?

Interesting thought, jp, about having missed an artist. I would have answered for U2 ("Angel of Harlem"), Chicago ("Beginnings"), or BNL ("Brian Wilson"). Maybe, if folks don't object, we could feel free (as I seem to have done) to comment on any of the last few artists mentioned, as long as we also ask for a new one.

I have no objection to that, as long as you stop picking on the Dead!

"When Doves Cry"

Favorite Eurhythmics track?

Any time Annie Lennox is singing, I'm happy.

Fav Tom Petty track?

"Don't Come Around Here No More"

Favorite B-52's track?

Love Shack

fave Pretenders track?

"My City Was Gone"

Favorite Peter Gabriel track?

Solsbury Hill

Fav Talking Heads track?

Biko

(and you are so right about the Dead, ejj - buy either Grateful Dead '72 or Steppin' Out With the Grateful Dead from the same tour, and you don't need any other album! I was lucky enough to see them at Bickershaw and it was my all-time favourite gig, by any artist)

Favourite Kevin Ayers track?

Not sure who Kevin Ayers is, so I guess I'll go with the Talking Heads: "Slippery People."

Favorite James Brown track?

It's a Man's World. OMG, I saw James Brown at Radio City Music Hall right after he got out of jail and when he did that song, well let's just say it was humid in there. Phew!

Favourite Dire Straights track?

Sultans of Swing.

Favourite Billy Idol track?

I'm torn between Rebel Yell and White Wedding (which we played at our wedding reception)

Favourite Cindy Lauper track?

Hi, just jumping in here!
Erm-Time After Time is pretty good.
How about favourite Bruce Springstein track?

Because the Night

Favorite song from a Harry Potter soundtrack?

I guess it would be "Do the Hippogriff" from Goblet of Fire -- it's the only one I can think of.

Favorite Willy Nelson track?

If Patsy Cline is singing it, Crazy.

Fav Austin Lounge Lizards track?

lg, you've asked about some really interesting bands!

My sister is a lounge lizards fan (got her PhD at UT), and I've heard their stuff at her place a time or two. Some of it's a bit much, but I like the lyrics to a lot of them. I can't remember the name of the one that piles up all the issues, something like "drug-smuggling illegal immigrant single mothers who believe in evolution." I'll go with "Just Another Stupid Texas Song."

(Oh, and I'll toss in "Walk of Life" for Dire Straits and "Rosalita" for Da Boss.)

Anyone got a favorite Richard Thompson track?

Thanks, jim, back at ya!

The Ghost of You Walks, although it's really tough to choose.

Fav Zappa track?

Montana (as in, moving to Montana, gonna grow a crop of dental floss)

Favorite Ani DiFranco?

I was lucky enough to see Ani at the Cambridge Folk Festival about 10 years ago, and she was awesome. Sadly I can't name any individual songs (that I can remember).

Favourite Captain Beefheart track?

So, is #103 you dissing one of my favorite bands, Mr?

ah, everything from "Safe as Milk" is pretty cool... I guess "Call on Me"

Favorite Charanga '76 for those into 70's salsa scene

70s salsa would be off by now, wouldn't it? What's the Use-By date on it?

>#123 re #103: no, i just can't resist a set-up. You know me ;)

>#103: Stinkfist. Happy now?

Favourite Perfect Circle track?
Acceptable alternatives: Wild Cherry; The Fratellis; Glen Miller; Stray Cats.

That would be "Moonlight Serenade" then :-)

Favourite Who track? (not sure if we had them already and I dont want to read through all 124 posts!)

I likesome of the real early stuff, like "I Can See for Miles."

I think it's fine to ask about a group that's already been mentioned; someone else will have a different answer.

Favorite Guess Who track?

American Woman (I don't know much else by them)

On the subject of Canadians, favourite Bachmann Turner Overdrive track?

Favourite Peter Gabriel track?

Too many...Shock the Monkey, Sledgehammer...

Favorite Genesis track

Ooh I can't pass up one of my favourite groups!

Genesis : The Firth Of Fifth

Damn. I'll have to nominate my own Mercury Rev then - "Spiders and Flies"

Barry? I guess "You're The First, The Last, My Everything"

Favourite Barry Manilow? (hahaha - DON'T PRETEND YOU DON'T HAVE ONE!!)

I actually do! "I Guess There Ain't No Santa Claus" is my favorite Manilow song. Expresses my feelings exactly.

Favorite Allman Brothers track?

I always manage to come in here when it's a band I don't know....

*sits and waits patiently*

Dang. I now have the Copacabana playing in my head.

Blue Sky

Favourite Weird Al track?

Hard to pick, because there are so many good ones. I'll go with "The Saga Begins" (his Star Wars I/American Pie parody).

Favorite Monkees track?

There's a little-known Monkees track called "Goin' Down," in which Circus Boy sings about drowning himself in a great big river but ends up riding it to New Orleans. Great stuff.

"My pappy taught me how to float
But I can't swim a single note"

Manilow: "Ready to take a Chance Again," because it was the theme from one of my favorite movies, Foul Play.

Favorite Four Tops track?

(Daydream Believer for The Monkees)

Walk Away Renée

The Times They Are a Changing

Ok, favourite Cutting Crew track?

I've Been in Love Before

Fast Car

Oh, gosh . . . I think "Hotel California" -- the Hell Freezes Over version with the long intro.

Favorite Elton John track?

Crocodile Rock

Favorite Pink Floyd track?

The Wall

Favorite Kansas

(I"m in a 70's frame of mind tonight)

It took me so long to be able to tolerate Kansas again at all, after having a roommate who played their Greatest Hits album every day until we "accidentally" knocked it behind the stereo. But I'll say Song for America.

Since I once saw Kansas open for Styx, and continuing with the 70s theme, how about favorite Styx song?

I only know one Styx song : "Babe", which is ok I suppose.

(Elton John : "Honky Cat" (perennially underrated), Eagles : "One Of These Nights", Pink Floyd : "Atom Heart Mother Suite")

Favourite Simon & Garfunkel?

I really like America.

hmmmm....favorite Beach Boys track?

"America" - awesome choice! (I love "The Boxer" too)

and ... how spooky ... when I opened this thread, I had "Caroline No" on iTunes! But that's not my choice, which I think would be "Surf's Up"

Favourite Humble Pie?

Well, to get this game going again (hat tip to Mr. A!), I looked Humble Pie up randomly, even though I don't know them. "I Don't Need No Doctor" was okay, so I'll go with that one!

Favorite Meat Loaf?

Thanks for reviving this thread, Eris. My favorite meat loaf is the one my wife makes. But rather than posting a new group I'll wait in the hope that someone will give you a real answer.

hat tip: You can't get away with wearing a hat in public anymore unless you are a cowboy, a 40s gangster, or the Queen.

Bat out of hell i guess. Although i like the song name I'll do anything for love (but i won't do that).

Favourite Artic Munkeys track?

I wear a hat in public. It's a very nice black Tyrolean, and it looks pretty cool, especially with my black Sherlock-esque trench coat! But perhaps that means that I get away with it because I am a 40s gangster!

#163: Did you mean Attic Monkeys or Arctic Monkeys? I found both bands. You can find anything on YouTube. :o)

Arctic Monkeys! i was being all phonetic.

>#164: you could be a cold war spook. Presumably the bad guy. Do you speak like Boris Badenov? Here, try saying "moose und skwirrel"

"Moose und skwirrel! Eets not strategy, eets tragedy!"

Or, I could be Natasha.

"Boris! Vere are you?"

It's settled! I'm a Cold War spook! AWESOME!

I got Mrs53 a Steep Canyon Rangers (Steve Martin's bluegrassy band) CD for her birthday last week. Anybody heard them and have a favorite?

*turns down the metal on the radio* Huh? What you say? ;)

Well, I do remember seeing Steve Martin playing the banjo once, and he was pretty good, so I hope it is.

I think I saw him play on The Colbert Report one night, and it was good.

I don't do *shudders* bluegrass. Sorry! Anybody who does, would you like to take a crack at #169 to keep the game rolling? It would be a shame to let it die again so quickly.

OK, forget Steve Martin and his banjo. Let's go for one of his old flames instead. Anyone got a favorite by Linda Ronstadt?

"To know know know him, is to love love love him." I remember that one from my childhood - she did that song with Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris, so I hope that counts!

Anyone got a favorite song by Hans Zimmer, Mister Epic Movie Soundtrack Composer?

Hmm . . . I'll go with the obvious and say "Circle of Life" from The Lion King.

Favorite Journey song?

So many. How do I choose?
*coin flip*
*another coin flip*
*best of three*

"Don't Stop Believin'"

Favorite Pink Floyd? (I've probably used this before, but I don't care.)

Have a Cigar, based solely on the line, "Which one's Pink?" Otherwise, anything on "Wish You Were Here" or "Animals" or, of course, "Dark Side of the Moon."

Favorite Duffy song?

did you say fluffy song? dunno... puff the magic dragon?

Favourite Green Day song?

Boulevard of Broken Dreams.

Favorite Pat Benatar song?

Love is a Battlefield

Favorite Eagles song?

I really like Don Henley's vocal style on Desperado.

"Wedding Bell Blues"

Favorite Weird Al Yankovic song?

White and Nerdy. Dat is my anthem!

Favorite Ray Charles song?

"What'd I Say"

Favorite Dan Fogelberg song?

"Leader of the Band" . . . though "Same Old Lang Syne" gives it a run for the money.

While we're marinating in '70s nostalgia,

Favorite Carpenters?

Ants!

favourite dubstep?

The one he took out of the white house.

(and We've Only Just Begun)

favorite Righteous Brothers song?

Unchained Melody

Favorite Jethro Tull song?

Thick as a brick.

>#187: i thought that was a push. And honestly, better than Skwirlx's (or whatever it's called) Bangarang?

Favourite musical soundtrack?

Ooh, good one! The Scarlet Pimpernel.

Continuing in that vein, favorite movie soundtrack?

Tough call. I tend to like a few highlights from each (e.g., Butch Cassidy, Love Actually, Sister Act, Much Ado). For consistency I'll go with Sense and Sensibility.

(I'll have to look up this Bangarang. Thanks, I think.)

At the risk of killing the thread, does anyone have a favorite Miles Davis piece?

I always like the 38 special he kept in his top drawer.

Also "So What".

favourite 80s synth-pop?

Not sure if I'm interpreting the meaning of "synth-pop" correctly, but I like "Shout" by Tears for Fears and "Jump" by Van Halen. They seemed heavy on the synthesizer. :o)

Favorite Wings?

Probably "Live And Let Die", or "Band on the Run" (sorry if that sounds obvious!)

Favourite Grateful Dead track?

I'll say "Truckin'" just to keep the game going.

Favorite Mark Knopfler track?

Oh dear, did I kill it again? Anyone have a favorite Moody Blues song?

"Never Comes The Day" from On The Threshold of a Dream.

Favourite George Harrison track, post-Beatles?

Yes, you crossed the line with Knopfler, Jim. Wars have been started for less.

Did Harrison record music after the Beatles? I thought he ran a mung-bean stand on Highway 69.

Wait, i think he was a producer on an album by an ex-Talking Head. Does that count?

"My Sweet Lord," I guess . . .

Favorite Jimi Hendrix song?

All Along the Watchtower

Favorite Grateful Dead?

(YAY - that's my favourite Hendrix too)

Dark Star (live, Europe '72)

favourite Steely Dan?

Dirty Work

Favorite Neil Young

Did he write "Ohio"?

Anyone have a favorite Southside Johnny track?

Well, after some research, it appears that he covered "Please Come Home for Christmas" for the Home Alone soundtrack. I've probably heard some of his other songs, but none of them jumped out at me as being familiar, so I'll say that one and get this game rolling again!

Favorite Trans-Siberian Orchestra?

// Favorite Trans-Siberian Orchestra - I thought you said you were getting this game rolling again?? //

My wife likes their Christmas CDs. Anyone have a favorite Laura Nyro song?

That's more like it!

I suppose "Spinning Wheel," or maybe that just the one I know the best.

"When Doves Cry" by the artist sometimes known as the Artist Formerly Known as Prince.

Favorite song by Adele?

"Someone like you"

Favorite movie soundtrack song?

I could name at least a hundred favorite tracks, but I'll try and narrow it down to my latest obsession: the main titles theme from The Undiscovered Country. So suspensful and tense. Plus... they're singing "to be or not to be" in Klingon! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0yiiivbJFU

Favorite metal song?

Silver and Gold :oP

Favorite water song?

Singing In The Rain

Favorite hard wood song?

The Addams Family

Favorite 3 Dog Night song

Mama Told Me Not To Come

Favourite 'naff' song ('guilty pleasure' you wouldn't admit to your MOJO-reading friends..)

City of New Orleans by Willie Nelson

Favorite duet?

"Stop Draggin' My Heart Around" by Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty (and the Heartbreakers).

Favorite a cappella song/performance?

"Flight of the Foo Birds" by The Real Group. They do a capella versions of jazz and popular tunes, kinda like Manhattan Transfer without a band.

Favorite jazz vocal of any sort?

Maria Muldaur on "Midnight At The Oasis"

Favourite hit from 1974? (You're allowed to research this if you're too young!!)

you know what they say... if you can remember 1974, you weren't there.

I had to check Casey Kasem's American Top 100, and there were a lot of ok songs, but none are particulat favorites...but for some reason "Clap For the Wolf Man" by Guess Who always makes me smile. I think it's Wolfman Jack's part...
