hmmmm that pick To tell you the truth thats not even the best song on the album. Good song nonetheless But first pick in the song draft? hmmmm
I'm not a participant, nor am I going to bother to read the previous thread, so I fully expect to be ignored here. But: Will folks be choosing what they consider great "songs" -- i.e. the music and lyrics -- or great performances / recordings / album tracks? Because those seem to be rather different choices and would affect drafters' ballots down the road. Jus' wondrin'.

This is my number one song of all time. I sang it in the old days when I was growing up and I went to La Bombonera, and it still gives me goosebumps when I hear it today. Here: [youtube]GZ0XrIRhfzM[/youtube] Boca Mi buen amigo Esta campana volveremo a estar contigo Te alentaremos de corazon Esta es la hinchada que te quiere ver campeon No me importa lo que digan Lo que digan los demas Yo te sigo a todas partes Cada vez te quiero mas Translation: Boca My good friend This season we are back with you We will cheer for you with our hearts These are the fans who want to see you be the champion It doesn't matter what they say What everybody else says I will follow you everywhere Every time I love you more
By putting this forward first, you are claiming that this is the greatest song in the history of song...or better yet your favorite song of every single song in the entire history of the world? Color me disappointed.
Ok. It's called 'Boca, Mi Buen Amigo' There is another very good version of this song: River Los mal paridos hay que verguenza el pais paso contigo Cuando perdieron con Penarol No fue por guita sino fue por ser cagon Porque nacieron gayinas y gayinas moriran Junto con los militares Son la ************ nacional In English: River The ill begotten Oh what a shame you brought to the country When you lost with Penarol It wasn't for money, it was because you shit on yourselves (cowardice) Because you were born chicken And chicken you will die Along with the military You're the national shit. Sorry, I'm having too much fun with this.
So I've decided to forego the obvious choices in such a draft and go with personal favorite and songs I feel are overlooked and underrated and in some cases, completely under the radar of even the most ardent music fan. That being said my first choice is a song I feel is up there with any great "epic", combining stunning technicality, memorable songwriting and a range of genres combined in one. Steve Vai - Tender Surrender The song is much more effective live if you see how much emotion and energy Vai puts into his music. [youtube]f1VjwciFLAg[/youtube]
Well, when I click on the link, the screen blacks out with the words, This video is no longer available.
Yup- that's what I get, too. Gringo, that's a cool intro, right up until the singer comes in. Then the song becomes very predictable.
