Thought this would be a cool way to bridge tastes with others.
Here is the idea, post a single artist and one favorite song by them, maybe say a few words about what makes it a special track to you.
One Band, one song, then some feedback from others about what they thought.
Here is my first selection, something more obscure, but a favorite artist of mine:
Ultravox!
Slip Away

Brings back my youth, the 80's being a rebel.......
crack rock steady by choking victim. always makes me feel good.
I can honestly say I have never heard either of those selections until just now. 70's-80's country or rock is more my speed, sure is hard to pick just one. Since I have a feeling classic county will go without much representation here, I'll go with Johnny Lee - Cherokee fiddle. Just a favorite, the song was also written by another favorite, Michael Martin Murphy.

Brantley Gilbert- kick it in the sticks
Pretty good song for those of us that grew up in the country and kinda reminds us of what we do just a good tune all around
Faster coochcat; House of Pain.
Story of my young life...and the problems I had later because for a few years, the only guidance I had was from a pair of drunks.
It's a lesson that I will not allow my kids to learn the way that I did...
Daddy takes the tbird away- beachboys. thought it was fitting.
Highway song blackfoot
Allman Brothers - Midnight Rider
There are songs that are so brilliant, you will never forget where you were the first time you heard it.
This is one of them:
Catherine Wheel - Black Metallic (http://"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtTqR9oZX6Q")
And yes, it IS a reference to a car. ;)
(BTW, the singer is Rob Dickinson who also does the Singer Porsches (http://"http://singervehicledesign.com").)
