Share Your Favorite Music Videos & Songs

JohnnyFlake · 12-17-2008, 09:38 PM

I've started this thread so we can share some of our favorite music videos and/or songs that were not produced in a video, with each other. Please, do not list your current favorites, etc. Please, only list songs and videos that you have loved all of your life, from when you first heard them, and remain among your all time favorites.

To get us started, I'll list two that have haunted me, all of my life, from the first time I heard them. For whatever reason, they truly touch my heart every time I hear them. They have a very deep meaning to me, yet I've never fully understood why. The first is by Billy Joel "The River of Dreams", this song has haunted me for over 25 years. The second is by Abba "I have a Dream", it has haunted me for well over 35 years! I'll be back with more from time to time.

Who's Next???

Honestly have never seen any videos for either, and I am fairly happy with that. These songs always make me think of specific people and times, so I prefer that I have not seen a video.

It just popped into my head that there will likely be a "new" video for At Last since it will be in that new movie coming out (Cadillac Records). From the little that I have heard, it sounds like Beyonce may have actually done a really good job of the cover.

RichardW · 12-19-2008, 12:47 PM

A classic -- the audio is better in the Forest Gump soundtrack (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZa6A...eature=related), but there are a couple live versions that are a kick:

Aside from pretty much every Beatles son, here are a couple that have always gotten to me:

Elton John's Levon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMub1_CdOrQ

and

Don McLean's American Pie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNdEu9s5qUU

Detroit Rock City. It really got me on the road to being a Kiss fan and hard or heavy metal rock. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgsoJrzplUI

Gypsys, Tramps, and Thieves - Cher Probably had more to do with having an adolescent hormone thing going than anything else.

RichardW · 12-19-2008, 10:56 PM

Paul Butterfield Band
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gchIP...eature=related)

He died before some of the fancier videos, but the music ... the music...
