What’s your song of the century (1900-2000)
Posted by Errerrerrwere on 10/18/20 at 11:07 pm528
I have to go with American Pie
Don McLean American Pie
Touches on Elvis, Dylan (Jester), Holly, Valens, Big Bopper, Peter Seger (King) , Joan Baez (Queen), Lennon and the Beatles, The Byrd’s, The Rolling Stones, and Joplin.
Charles Manson, MLK, flower power, drugs, 60’s protests, moon landing, Football, Woodstock, Hell’s Angels, and the Miss America pageant.
Can’t get more American than that. Billy Joel tritely tried to do something similar and bombed with his We Didn’t Start the Fire.
Funny, I didn’t grow up in the 60’s but my dad loved this song and explained it to me and I end up singing it whenever I hear it. So, it gets my vote.

This is a perfect song. While it's not my personal favorite, I think it is in the argument of greatest song ever written.

Roy Orbison - Running Scared
It’s a song you could end the world to. Go out on top. GOAT.

I would have 5 candidates (not necessarily the version included, but typically):
The Beatles - Let it Be (Take 23)
Elvis Presley - American Trilogy (Hawaii)
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven (NYC)
The Eagles - Hotel California (Capital Center)
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Number (Pulse)

Aaron Copland - Appalachian Spring
quote:
The music, scored for a thirteen-member chamber orchestra, was created upon commission of the choreographer and dancer Martha Graham
Originally, Copland did not have a title for the work, referring to it simply as "Ballet for Martha"—a title as simple and direct as the Shaker tune 'Tis the Gift to be Simple quoted in the music. Shortly before the premiere, Graham suggested Appalachian Spring, a phrase from a Hart Crane poem, "The Dance" from a collection of poems in his book "The Bridge."
Because he composed the music without the benefit of knowing what the title was going to be, Copland was often amused when people told him he captured the beauty of the Appalachians in his music

I believe She Loves You by The Beatles is a candidate. Like it or not that single changed music and the culture.
