Location: Cicero, NY | Ok, based on the responses another current topic (which I am still enjoying immensely), I thought you folks might eat this one up. I'm a huge fan of utterly ridiculous lists ("The best song..."; The greatest guitarist..."; you get the picture - those lists which are NEVER right) but I was reading one a bit ago on the most influential song ever recorded. A song that changed the direction of music, if you will.
Let's have sme fun with it and, after a bit, I'll let you know what the "List" said and I probably agree with! Ok, who's first...? |

You know, Chordal instead of Linear like Gregorian Chant. with out that, we wouldn't have Inna Godda Davida by Iron Butterfly or Crazy by Cline. sl |

(By the way, where's Carle Place?) |

"Here Comes The Bride" had a powerful influence on Cliff. Now he plays the blues... |

Suede!
ad to get back inline with the jist of this post - Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon. It was the first time (for me) that a whole album could be, and had to be, listened to at once and continuous!
The tech was leading and the lyrics provoking. |
