Unlike some of other people on this forum I will add some of your songs on my list. Surprise Suprise you could not find a song by the Beatles to add.
Hehe..that's cuz you covered all the interesting ones :).
Thanks, I have added some of your songs. I am open to other songs if anyone has suggestions even you Sean. I will be adding more in the future.
Personally (dont'cha love it when people start off with "personally") I would be more prone to add songs that were groundbreaking lyrically. Such as Buffy Ste. Marie's "Now that the Buffalo are Gone" and "Universal Soldier" plus Phil Ochs "Outside a Small Circle of Friends" and "Cops of the World" and "I Ain't Marchin' Any More" and even "Draft Dodger Rag" "Too Many Martyrs" and "Love Me, I'm a Liberal"
By Dylan I would add "With God on Our Side", "Masters of War", "A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall"
More? Pink Floyd's "Echoes" "One of these Days"
Simon and Garfunkel: "I Am a Rock" "Patterns" "Old Friends" "Hazy Shade of Winter"
Zappa: "Who Needs the Peace Corps"
One note: On the list you have Pink Floyd's song "Astonomy Domine" listed as "Astronomy Overdrive"
Two Note: Beatles: "Within You Without You" "It's All Too Much"
I corrected the spelling error. Thank you for your input but lyrics are really not that important to me. I am interested in the actual music itself.
Sister Ray ftw
"Strawberry Fields Forever" is two separate songs, recorded individually, and blended together. Double Fade out outros and backward drum effects also.
