Are You Experienced Jimi Hendrix
I like too much music (including classical, opera and rock) to be able to narrow it down to just one, even within one genre. That's lame, isn't it? So, how about if I toss out the Beatles' "In My Life?" I like the melody, arrangement and especially the lyrics.

I'm gonna go with "Space Oddity" by David Bowie. Catchy tune, and interesting lyrics that were very fitting considering the time at which he wrote it. I love that song.

I think I'll go with "Stairway to Heaven: by Led Zeppelin. Plant's vocal skills, and Paige's guitar work just weave that little mini symphony into a tapestry of sheer brilliance.

I think another runner-up could be one of my very first favorites, the first song that I loved! I seriously thought it was the best song ever when I first heard it.

My fave is Drift Away by Dobie Gray. It helps you find comfort through music when you're down. It did for me anyway.

Scarecrow People. By XTC.
Rate me down if you want to, I still love that song.
And a close second is Fourth Time Around. By my main man, Bob Dylan.

At the moment (and it usually changes very frequently), my favourite is Streets of Philidelphia by Bruce Springsteen. It is kind of depressing, but I love it.
When you feel down, it sort of makes you feel that you're not alone, and everything's going to be okay.
Oh, and I love This Womans Work, by Kate Bush, she has a fabulous voice and the song is quite inspirational, for want of a better word.
by knotcrafter@yahoo.com on August 26th, 2008
Very tough question to answer with just one song, but if I had to pick only one, then I would pick "Nessun Dorma" by Pavarotti. 2:33 of absolute beauty that will pull all the strings of your heart, and you don't have to know Italian to understand the song's meaning.

Hey ! Ice man, Good answer! I recently seen a t.v. special with these two...And it covered how BB & a bunch of old timers were his inspirations...Going back as far as Muddy Waters, Johnson...& his love for the original steel guitar...how it inspired his works through his whole life. It was great!
TY for this & have a nice Friday!
