I could die happy if ....

[andy hughes]

I'd written that ....

Name three songs you could die happy if you had written them because they are just that powerful - mine are:

1. Man Of The World - Fleetwood Mac

2.  If You Could Read My Mind - Gordon Lightfoot

3. 

[OBonio]

Off the top of my head :

1. War Pigs - Black Sabbath
2. Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd
3. In My Life - The Beatles

These will change in the next 10 minutes probably.

[georgit79]

This will probably change, as OBonio said, in the next 10 minutes, but right now it's:

Like a Rolling Stone: Bob Dylan

Light My Fire: The Doors

Let's Stay Together: Al Green

Not so much because they're powerful, just because I love the lyrics.

[rarll]

  1 - Helpless - Neil Young

  2 - Out Of Season - The Icicle Works

  3 - Train In Vain - The Clash

Just don't ask me tomorrow as the will have changed.

Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd

Positively Fourth Street - Bob Dylan

With or Without You - U2

[cherrybomb]

1) Only in Dreams - Weezer

2)Creep - Radiohead

3)Happy Birthday to you - ?

Then I would die happy after living in luxury all my life and knowing that my family would never have to worry about money.

[GruntFuttock]

1.Agadoo

2.Where do you go to my lovely?

3.The Birdy Song

[ipswich2286]

This definitely needs a modern(ish) rock input

Nobodies - Marilyn Manson (I know, but listen to it)

Under the Bridge - Red Hot Chili Peppers

Kids Aren't Alright - The Offspring

[stevie21]

For me I'd base it on there being something really original or some craft to the song (rather than it being a great 3 minute, 3 chord catchy tune).

1. Gimme Shelter - The Stones
2. Still Raining, Still Dreaming - Jimi Hendrix
3. God Only Knows - The Beach Boys

If we were to include classical music the list would be endless.

[Sasha13]

1. Bend Down Low - Paddy Casey

2. Songbird - Eva Cassidy

3. November Rain or Don't Cry - Guns 'n' Roses
