I am a self proclaim metal guy, listening to Metallica way too much, throwing in some Iron Maiden, Rush to mix it up, PsychoStick when I wanna laugh...and so on. So what do I like the most?
I want to know want songs have all the right parts to transcend time. Songs of power, making people laugh and cry, putting a smile on faces when they are feeling down. The song you would play on the school bus during high school and the entire bus would sing along, teachers included.
One of such songs for me is
American Pie. I just listened to it for the first time in quite a while, and nearly cried. Of all the music I love, this has something special that most music just cannot seem to tap into. This is one of the songs when as a family when we were driving, if it came on, all talk ended and the radio got turned up, no questions asked. So tell me, forty years from now, what songs will you turn up the radio for, heralding the good times past? What song shears off the years, and returns the joy of living?
