Decided to start a new topic here, because sometimes it's not just about the best albums, but the best songs. And i decided to kick it off with this song:

Gotta confess that's the first time I've ever seen a Roman chariot powered by Harleys instead of horses.  Very much dig the 80's-era hippity-hop vibe no doubt nurtured by the presence of one of the godfathers of hip-hop, Kool Moe Dee.  Towards the end, whoever was singing through the credits sounded so much like Michael Jackson that I half expected his name in the credits.  Very trippy video!

In the Best Album thread, you shared a video of Steve Martin's banjo wizardry during a Letterman appearance with Earl Scruggs, a man who will forever be one of America's most beloved bluegrass artists.  It's also noteworthy that Steve Martin was inducted into the American Banjo Museum Hall of Fame last year.  Here's another tune by Steve with his bluegrass group the Steep Canyon Rangers performing on Letterman.  Those who dig gospel, bluegrass and a cappella harmonies might find this hymn most heavenly:

Tbh, i wasn't sure starting this thread was a good idea as having it all in one place (the best album thread) has some advantages. There are songs i like that doesn't have an album tho or where i don't like the rest of the album all that much, or just so-so.

With the Macklemore song i guess it was just as much about the video tho, but i do think he's a really good rapper and his lyrics and videos are nearly always funny and intelligent satire.

Never seen that Atheist Song @DippityDoo. Really funny, though i suspect not so much for religious people. I'm being unfair, i mean religious people of the intolerant, humourless kind. I suspect plenty of religious people would find this funny as well.

 
@PTFC Mentioned Depeche Mode so i'll post one of my favourite songs of theirs, tho there's a lot. How important a good stereo is varies from album to album, tho it always helps. With this song the high quality production makes a good stereo take a song that is already amazing to a whole new level.



 
I've decided to include a couple of great tracks from Pentatonix. Not sure if this was what @PTFC was talking about when he mentioned his distaste for classics getting an a capella version in the UK, but here goes:



 
Just follow the video more than the lyrics here, cause the lyrics are too fast to follow and the mussic video is amazing:

I agree. The US/Canada have produced The National, Arcade Fire, The White Stripes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, British alternative has dried up, unfortunately. :(

Not necessarily best songs but earlier this week I was listening to Father Christmas by Greg Lake of famed King Crimson and of course ELP. Come to find out he passed away yesterday of cancer at 69. So if you're a lover of Progressive rock and have some KC or ELP play it in Greg's honor he had an amazing voice. I'm listening to Lucky Man one of the truly great acoustic tunes ever.

RIP Greg you will be missed

 
"That's the Way of the World" - Earth, Wind & Fire.  I don't think you have to be my age to appreciate the timelessness of that song:

Hearts of fire creates love desireTake you high and higher to the world you belongHearts of fire creates love desireHigh and higher to your place on the throne

  1. ontovzik @ ontovzik: When I had long term shingles, lasting two months. All he could give me was a 10 day supply of dilaudid. He looked at the ground while we were talking about it. I could tell he was ashamed but it was the legislature and the governor that tied his hands. He was very upset that non-medical political people, the media, and the scared public were controlling how he treated his patients. Someday those people will need meds and a hospital bed and they will be gone.
  2. ontovzik @ ontovzik: I had a great doctor, he had the true gift of a healer and he stayed on top of all the science. He straight up told me that for many people opiods work for managing short and long term pain.
  3. ontovzik @ ontovzik: He peed it in the snow in my backyard.
  4. WTF7218 @ WTF7218: @xenxra 😆😂. Yes, but only a few brave souls will ever find the number. You must first order a Dirty Shirley from the bartender. Then you must discreetly take the cocktail napkin from under your drink and unfold it. There you will find the map to the location of the phone number, and clues to decipher the code that it is written in.
  5. xenxra @ xenxra: he left his phone number scribbled in a stall at the pub three blocks down
  6. aBBazaBBa123 @ aBBazaBBa123: @rockychoc How do I contact you?
  7. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar I would try one of those easy online ones .. reddit gives useful info about that
  8. Alkazar @ Alkazar: @NYStateofMind I dont really have a history of abusing things, my docotr is just really stingy. I am thinking of switching.
  9. C @ Cheesus: Thanks xenxra
  10. xenxra @ xenxra: @Cheesus yeah, use snote
  11. P @ psychedpsych: Trump is cracking down….
  12. P @ psychedpsych: Hackers are the scum of the earth
  13. N @ NYStateofMind: so it was easy bc of my history
  14. N @ NYStateofMind: I didnt really tell him but he knew I needed a new script since my dr went to jail
  15. N @ NYStateofMind: @xenxra I was on Adderall since 15 years ago so my dr prescribed that w no problems and then when I lost my best friend my doctor rxed the valiums but
  16. C @ Cheesus: Temp.pm down for anyone else?
  17. xenxra @ xenxra: @NYStateofMind my doctor's have always been pretty open minded if i can actually come in and explain the pharmacological action of the drugs im seeking instead of just telling them why i think i should be prescribed. the only time it didn't work out for me is when i was trying pharmaceuticals for depression ten years ago and suggested they let me try testosterone instead (turns out i was hypogonadal so they made a mistake denying my request at face value)
  18. T @ Testisthebest: Even down here in Florida when the pill mill docs all switched over to Suboxone and/or retired you can still find some pretty liberal docs but you gotta know what to look for. Mine does "pain management, detox, anxiety,etc. And no insurance. My doc writes me 60 5mg Valium, 14 2mg Xanax and asked if I had ever tried adderal to get more focus at work as I told him I run my own business.
  19. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar do they know your history? Like I dont tell my doctor anything about myself except what they need to know,...I was able to get my dr to rx the highest dose of adderall along with valiums ..... if they dont know your history or there is no history I would just come out and ask what is the reason for their mistreatment.... they have no problem billing your insurance or taking a payment for the visit
  20. T @ Turbo259: @Layne_Cobain Thank you fam
