Songs you absolutely love

[Narnia]

Having had a peek at the 'hate' thread which was depressing simply because if you hate it it's not worth writing about, please enlighten us with what you love! There's probably a thread like this elsewhere but so what. I will start the ball rolling with a song from Van Morrisons 'Astral Weeks' called 'The Way Young Lovers Do'. I would like to expand my knowledge of music through the ages so please feel free to add to the collection. I guess it's all subjective but give it a go and try to find something in your memory banks that just can't be dismissed.

Strange that JL, I was going to post that one but at the last minute went for LARS.

Actually pretty much the whole of BOB.

Yes HB, he's done so many good songs. More than most.

Anyway here's another song I love. The opening riff grabs you by the throat and draws you in straight away.

Jumping Jack Flash - The Rolling Stones.

I had a live version of this on a 7 inch by the Flaming Groovies, where the hell did that go?

One of the all time great intros.

Young Lust - Pink Floyd

How can i be sure - David Cassidy. I love the original by the Young Rascals but the David Cassidy version is my favourite, don't knock it just because some pop prince sang it. He really did the song justice. I also love Dusty Springfield - I just don't know what to do with myself.
