Your Favourite piece of music
« on: October 24, 2008, 07:33:30 pm »
Can we start a new post where we tell/show your favourite piece of music.
It can be of all time of current favourite or even one you have just found/discovered.
If you can post it played so much the better! Put it on and then open a new tab to look at other posts whilst listening.
Comments about individual's tastes are welcome so long as they aren't insulting.

I'll start, if I may.



This is one of my favourite songs ever and this version with the classical guitar solo at the end gives me goose bumps all over. So beautiful.

I love Pink Floyd Paulham, especially Division Bell, Dark Side of the Moon  and the whole of The Wall album.

My musical tastes are so diverse I would find it impossible to pick just one piece and say it's my favourite. Therefore, I've chosen a favourite modern blues record by Tom Waits. You have to spend a bit of time getting used to the voice, but give it a try, It's a beautiful but deeply sad track.

Yep. He was quite young when he recorded this. He composed the lyrics and music but it has been covered by others - including Rod Stewart. However, for me this is the most beautiful rendition.

This is another of my favourite songs - very relevant just now with an election coming up in the USA
