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. S @ soupson: What happened to chem genie?
  2. D @ drdrizzy13: LSU is trash and has always been trash but a night game in death valley is unlike anything I've experienced. Except the first game back to the superdome reopened after Katrina destroyed it. Everybody was crying and drunk as shit lol. All time favorite in person sports moment ever.
  3. M @ meepmoopmeep: Kiffin is a traitor and he and LSU deserve each other since they’re both complete trash
  4. D @ drdrizzy13: yea he's a joke lol. Can't stand him.
  5. L @ Layne_Cobain: You know who rly sucks…lane kiffin 😂 dude is all that’s wrong with college sports or at least a big chunk of it…and he lied about being told he could still coach ole miss in the playoffs
  6. D @ drdrizzy13: Hey at least Ole Miss got in. I can't stand LSU. They really sucked this year.
  7. M @ meepmoopmeep: as an A&M fan I’m content with us missing the SECCG for that reason. Georgia about to fuck Alabama up
  8. D @ drdrizzy13: Yeah I agree if bama loses I think they are out. That would be 3 losses. I don't see a 3 loss team getting in this year.
  9. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah that’s why sark was pleading his case about that Texas shouldn’t be punished for scheduling a non conference game against the best team and losing if they hadn’t done that they’d probably be in but oh well way it goes there’s always gonna be a few teams who get robbed or feel they got robbed even with a 12 team playofff…if bama loses to Georgia I’d think they’d be out but who knows
  10. D @ drdrizzy13: Alabama also lost to Florida State pretty bad. Whom Florida beat. I just think if they didn't decide to play ohio state the first game. They would be in with 2 losses instead of Alabama.
  11. M @ meepmoopmeep: @drdrizzy13 Texas lost to Florida of all teams, they weren’t heading for the playoffs anyways imo. At least not this year
  12. D @ drdrizzy13: Texas is offically out of the playoffs they didn't make the top 12. I do wish they were in it. They showed up against Texas AM. But there fatal flaw was scheduling Ohio State for their opening. Which would have been great if they won but they are a 3 loss team now.
  13. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah idk about arch I could see him staying with Sark for another year but if he plays rly well in the playoff who knows that is if they get in
  14. D @ drdrizzy13: Man a lot of Saints fan want Arch but I think he said he is playing another year. I would take him probably. But if Texas AM QB comes out or Ohio State's I think you gotta take one if your picking top 2.
  15. L @ Layne_Cobain: Is the qb class supposed to be stacked or thin for draft in April I follow college ball but I can’t think right now I think there’s def at least a few high potential qb declaring
  16. D @ drdrizzy13: Right now I believe we pick 2nd. ATM.
  17. D @ drdrizzy13: At first I figured he might be able to do something but our position players suck. We are playing a rookie QB. O-line sucks. It needs to be blown up. I hope we tank for the first pick
  18. L @ Layne_Cobain: Hopefully you guys maybe find a solid qb option in the draft you should end up with a very good pick
  19. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah dude Moore def does not seem like the guy for yall need to clean house
  20. D @ drdrizzy13: I should say our receivers suck
