Essential Songs

[Conager]

Johnny Cash - Folsom Prison Blues

June Carter Cash - Ring of Fire

(Maybe a duet of them singing Ring of Fire)

Not old, but Cash's cover of N.I.N. "Hurt" is haunting.https://youtu.be/8AHCfZTRGiI

My wife makes playlists out the wazoo. Music plays just about all day long at this household.

I love that. Same here! It’s not just me either it included my sister and her kids. We are always sending music back and forth.


I’m stealing this entire playlist

Smells Like Teen Spirit

 

[HisArpy]

Absolutely essential!

You can add just about ANYTHING Creedence Clearwater Revival.

Also add Pink's "Bobby McGee" unplugged if you can find it. She's sounds amazing when she sings it.

Pete Townsend's "Eminence Front" should be on the list somewhere too if for nothing else than the music.

Scorpions "Winds of Change" (find the long version, it's MUCH better)

4 non blondes "What's up"

 

[jomar]

So, a top five plus one list in no particular order except the last...

Scarlett Begonias - Grateful Dead

Last of the Singing Cowboys - Marshall Tucker Band

Shaft - Isaac Hayes

My Male Curiosity - Kid Creole and the Coconuts

Taxi - Harry Chapin

Wichita Lineman - Glen Campbell

Having said the above, she probably needs some Beatles, Stones and Led Zeppelin in the mix.

Neil Young and John Prine are in leagues of their own

 

[silver gurl]

Parents Don’t Understand DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince

 

[jomar]

Also, Larkin Poe is a current throwback to American roots rock bands. They are excellent.

[Conager]

Bad Company is essential!

Ready For Love

Karaoke version because this one's definitely a sing-along. This is one of those songs where I wail on the phrases I know and mumble through the rest.

In that Bad Com0any vein you gotta have

Feel Like Making Love

You would think Bad Company the song as well, but I would go with:

Five Finger Death Punch.

 

[SpeareChucker]

You need some Darius Rucker, for sure:

[With_David_Bowie]

Honestly, just ask him what his favourites are, then I can throw stuff.

Also, you're totally old

 

[TheShez]

My top 5.

When the levy breaks. Led zeppelin
Seven faces. Slayer
Suspicious minds. Elvis
Roadhouse blues. The doors.
The first 4 black sabbath albums.

I could go on imperpituity.

And add in amy Winehouse or adele and you will cover every emotion under the sun.

Oh and The tale of brave Ulysses. Cream

This is hard!

 

[Aglaopheme]

Teach your Children CSN&Y
Mockingbird Carly Simon and James Taylor

Parents Don’t Understand DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince

Love where you are going with these! I thought about doing a themed playlist and still may.

She definitely likes stuff from this century. Added. These are great, also perfect for a lazy Sunday morning.

 

[Aglaopheme]

Also add Pink's "Bobby McGee" unplugged if you can find it. She's sounds amazing when she sings it.

Pete Townsend's "Eminence Front" should be on the list somewhere too if for nothing else than the music.

Scorpions "Winds of Change" (find the long version, it's MUCH better)

4 non blondes "What's up"

All solid suggestions. I din’t think I have ever heard Pink cover that. I found it on YouTube. If I do a deep dive into my collection on my hard drive I’ll grab that one.

Not Townsend, but this reminds me I have to add Boris the Spider.

Not nutty at all. These are great additions.

 

[Aglaopheme]

Teenage kicks-The undertones
Hey Ya -OutKast
Ghost Town -The Specials
House of Fun - Madness
Funky cold Medina - Tone Loc

More ska is where it’s at.

I’ll leave Ton Loc off. Music has always been the exception to bad language and what have you, but I cringed a little just adding Pusherman.

100%.

What is essential to you is the question. I’m looking for stuff that would not be her gotos or mine.

Also, you ain’t lying.
