Three music videos. Supertramp. Pink Floyd. The Alan Parsons Project.
Fool's Overture. Shine On You Crazy Diamond. Old And Wise.
Since 1999 it's tradition this Dutch radio station plays the top 2000 songs of all time selected by the public, starting at the first day of Christmas, ending at the final minute of the year. I always love it, not always the songs, but just everything that comes with it: nostalgia, stories, knowing that almost the entire population of my country is listening to it. Anyway...2000 songs are a lot and of course songs are listed that are crap (imho), but there are also always songs listed that are just pure divine. Songs that are a piece of art. Songs that will remain timeless.
These three songs are, amongst other, songs I can listen to over and over again. This is the real deal people, this is real music.
I love Fool's Overture for the intro, the diversity and intensity. I think this might be one of my all time favourite songs by anyone ever.
I love Shine On You Crazy Diamond because of the heavenly intro, the pure brilliance of this song. It's perfect, really.
I love Old and Wise because it's just so beautiful.
I might even want these 3 songs played at my funeral one day.
I'm currently in the process of adding all my favourite songs of the Top 2000 into a Spotify playlist. Heavenly. This entry was originally posted at http://prettygoodyear.dreamwidth.org/265205.html. Please comment there using OpenID.
