Otis Redding's live cover of the Stones' "Satisfaction" shits all over this list.
Freal-even keith richards admitted that was the way the song should be done.

Good pick. On another day I would've picked this song too.

And if you're gonna pick a Beatles song you've got to go with "A Day in the Life," "In My Life," or "She Said, She Said." "Let it Be" sounds too much like drunk sing along music.

Bill Evans was such a great pianist. It's a shame he wasted his life away on heroin. I remember reading Miles Davis's autobiography, and I got the vibe that he didn't care for how highly people regarded Evans's influence on jazz ( he was the only white guy on Kind of Blue). Regardless, his piano playing on Blue in Green makes the song, and made me an instant fan.

after listening to the one posted in this forum, i might agree with that...you ain't possibly trying to post the link of the live one, are you??

that said, i could never pick 1 song...i'll just say the song that i've played the most on itunes...

The Golden Path by The Chemical Brothers.

song never fails to cheer me up.

Gil Scott Heron's "Grandma's Hands" > Bill Withers'

Can someone up "Can We Pretend" for me, please?

Something by Sam Cooke or something from the Motown era.

blastmaster · Post by **blastmaster** » Sun Mar 18, 2007 9:42 pm

Isaac Hayes' version of "By The Time I Get To Phoenix" is probably the best answer here.

A Change Gonna Come, i guess that's kinda obvious but that song is his best know for good reason. Otis Redding's version might outdo the original actually..word to Fish.
