Zepaholic Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 Even though i don't need to hear STH for a few years, i'd say that it is THE perfect song. There is a reason why it's the most requested radio song of all time....It's perfect. My other contenders would span the length of the golden gate bridge so i won't bother. Pretty sure most will be covered here before the thread shrivels up. Quote
jimmie ray Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 Jefferson Airplane: Plastic Fantastic Lover Somebody To Love White Rabbit Check out the "Fly Jefferson Airplane" DVD live rooftop performance of "House at Pooneil Corners", and let us know who you think was an unexpected influence of early heavy metal? The vocal interplay, and furious guitar and bass work are absolutely sick. I found this at my local library, believe it or not... Quote
lzfan715 Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 I will look into that, thanks for the reccomendation. I just thought of another song I don't think was mentioned: Roadhouse Blues- the Doors Quote
jimmie ray Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 I will look into that, thanks for the reccomendation. It looks like I'm this forum's official Airplane representative - although there must be someone else who could do a much better job? Quote
lzfan715 Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 I love Jefferson Airplane, but I don't know much about them. Grace Slick is a really interesting persson, but I don't claim to know much about any of them. Quote

I don't want to "derail" this thread, but you're always welcome to start a new one - maybe "San Francisco Sounds"? Quote

AMAZONIC Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Only one... FREE BIRD - Lynyrd Skynyrd It has the perfect structure: melodic intro, emotional lyrics, frantic build up and a very intense and climactic long guitar solo. One word: PERFECT. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PENBU3lrpE Quote
