Great songs get great covers by great bands as my journey into bluegrass has led me to find out as this one been popping on my feed and its just well like...heaven.


Yeah, I've been deep diving Billy Strings and all of his incredible covers. And Bluegrass at the heart of him.

Heh, Son Volt too.

Mayonaise
while this song is one of the best songs to ever exist. It is probably not Smashing Pumpkins greatest song. That would be “Today” or “Bullet with Butterfly Wings” or “1979”

All of yall are wrong, it's Prayers for Rain for The Cure followed closely by A Forest, The Kiss and Disintegration.

No Jake that’s just your favorite. There’s a difference between a groups Best songs, your personal favorites and their Greatest.

I'm convinced Prayers for Rain is their best song. It's in my personal top 5, not necessarily my favorite.

The Guess Who - American Woman. Burton Cummings was such a great versatile singer.

The correct song is Home. Then Perfect, then Set the Ray to Jerry. Mayonnaise is better than both of those songs, and I like those.

Their best stuff never made the radio.

Once I entered adulthood I've never understood this. Maybe you had to be around in the 70s, idk. When I was a teenager and first getting into music any website (internet was pretty new in those days) or magazine article or VH1 "top whatever countdown" that i'd watch were all in unison; stairway is one of the best, if not the best, songs of all time.

So I just accepted that as fact. But as I got older I kinda subscribed to that less and less. Yes it's a nice song. But best ever? There's a dozen or more songs just by LZ alone I'd put as better. Or at least that I'd prefer to listen to. If someone could explain to me why STH is considered as such an all timer I would love to be enlightened. And I don't say that facetiously either...like I would really like to understand.


I could say the same about Dark Side of the Moon, and for the same reasons.

As much as I love that one... It's probably #2 behind (Don't Go Back to) Rockville.. I just love the simplicity of it...
