    Default What is a song that is beyond the word 'GREAT?'

    Is there a song (from any genre of music) that makes you say "Holy shit, this song is fuckin waay too good." Do you guys ever get a feeling in your stomach when you hear an amazing song? Ya, like that. Thats what i'm talking about.

    For me, if you have never heard "The Great Gig In The Sky" by Pink Floyd, then you haven't heard music.

    Also "Thats The Way I've Always Heard It should Be" by Carly Simon & Beth Rowley "Nobodys Fault But Mine." Both great with a lot of heart & great lyrics.

    Hip Hop:

    Rakim - Remember That (makes me reminisce every time I listen to it,and the lyrics really grab you to your heart,whether you like it or not)

    Pete Rock & CL Smooth - Cant Front On Me (the beat is so masterful,that it makes me actually think that hip hop is underrated,and CL Smooth rhyming on it makes me nod my head)

    Non Hip Hop:

    Bob Dylan - Hurricane (great music,lyrics make it seem like it was a hip hop song or something,and based on a true story)

    Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower (Jimi Hendrix' guitar is miraculous (did i spell this correctly?),his voice is nice and dusty as always and nods my head from the first second to the last chord)

    Stick to no more than 3 songs. Choose wisely. Some of those you guys said are niiice, but the majority are average songs.
