We are mostly of a certain age, so I thought I would start a thread on your favourite music tracks and why.

One of mine is “ when the levee breaks” Led Zeppelin. The drums and harmonica are just sublime. A late uncle in law played harmonica and I sort of learnt……Interestingly I don’t think it was a track that Zeppelin played live . The drums were in a pit and the harmonica layered on afterwards. Still a great track.

What is yours and why?

Best guitar playing with unparalleled emotion enthusiasm skill he actually runs out of frets on the second solo, not to mention the incredible drumming, bass, singing, a true masterpiece in my world👍 I could listen to it indefinitely.

Unpopular opinion 
I always thought that Sabbath were better with Dio on vocals and that Ozzy was better solo.
(Oh, great idea for a thread  )

Oh I prefer Oz singing especially on songs like spiral city architect, but it’s just the track as a whole,  guitar in particular.

I was never into such bands,but favourite music depends on mood.I suppose if I had to pick just one piece of music then it'd be Eine Kleine Nacht Musik.

Samuel Barber's Adagio for strings as a standalone piece, regardless of the arrangement, although Tiësto does a fantastic live arrangement of it...

Personal favourite is William Orbit's version.

Followed that link, watched it, and just spent nearly an hour watching Bernard Manning, Dave Allen and Jethro. One thing leads to another 

[Raeturbo]

Love them three too, but don’t forget it’s the way I tell em Frank Carson👍

  I listen, when I have time, to a youtuber called Kfir Ochion
He plays guitar covers of popular rock and metal tracks
He has written his own 10 minute solo of "Comfortably Numb"
My supervisor was raised on Floyd so he said he would be the judge of how good it was
When it finished, he told me he had goose bumps nearly all the way through it
He said His father, who was the Floyd nut, would have been mightily impressed
Worth having a listen to him
As for me, one of the best in my opinion is Mettalicas cover of "Turn the page"
The origional is good, but this is head and shoulders above it

Bit SLOW that version

Ferry Corsten Remix clicky
though it can lead to excessive use of the GO pedal    if played at the correct volume (11 / all of it / full )

[Doctor Gollum]

More of fan of Tiësto's version, but like the subtlety of William Orbit's version.

A very close second

[Varche]

Nowt wrong with those dave. What I would call “Ibiza sound” . One of my regrets is not getting tt Pacha.

Nice to hear of other Pink Floyd nuts! I have had the same CD in the 4x4 for over a year……

I must look up Gary Moore in Skid Row before he went to Thin Lizzie.

Not much to look up on Gary Moore with Skid row. Whats available isnt great material ime. They were a great live band in the clubs in Belfast, according to an old mate of mine who saw them regularly.
He used to play regularly at the Maritime club in Belfast, where he and Rory Gallagher would often jam together on stage together and play each others guitars.
I would have loved to have seen that.
