BigStewMan Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 i recently RE-discovered a song that i listened to as a youngster...Tapioca Tundra by the Monkees...a Mike Nesmith song. Check it out, it is pretty good. i downloaded it from itunes. A couple of other songs that i don't think get enough credit are Eleanor Rigby by the Beatles and Space Oddity by David Bowie--Great songs!

oldtimer Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I guess I'm not qualified for this thread since Space Oddity has always been one of my favorites. Eleanor Rigby always got a lot of play too. Hidden to me would be something like Warren Zevon's Accidentally Like a Martyr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hidden to me would be something like Warren Zevon's Accidentally Like a Martyr. my title was misleading...initially i was just going to mention that monkees song; but, then decided to comment on eleanor rigby and space odditiy, as they are generally not the first songs mentioned when you ask someone to name the best beatles or bowie song. regarding zevon...i'll go with roland the headless thompson gunner.

JJkizak Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I never could get into Lead Zep or Hendrix even when I was a teeny bopper. I still can't. I prefer more melodic stuff. JJK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
