Their choice.

(47,552 posts)It's got my favorite lead of all time in it.
Turn it up.
If you want to watch the lead being played, check out the first couple of minutes of this video.
The rest of the video is for the curious and adventurous intermediate player.
Give it a shot. There's some real good stuff in there, all up and down the fretboard.
(To be clear, that's NOT me in the video...lol.)

(13,870 posts)For one thing it is almost an hour long. And compared to a pop/rock song....no comparison.

Iggo
(47,552 posts)...that's currently the only song I can start over and listen to again after I've got to the end.
But that's like murder music, and they'd probably have to put me down if I listened to it for days on end.

WePurrsevere
(24,259 posts)and that's the ever changing song of Nature played by the orchestra of the oceans, creeks, thunder, rain, winds, leaves, etc and accompanied by the chorus of purrs, howls, whistles, chirps, neighs, trills, etc of Earth's various creatures great and small.
I love all sorts of music and have my favorites but I don't think that there's any human created song I could listen too all the time, for the rest of my life without going bonkers after a while. Nature's I'm pretty sure I can handle since I enjoy listening to it quite a bit already.

(47,552 posts)...when this car full of twenty-something-year-old young ladies pulled up to the red light blasting that song and singing it at the top of their lungs.
To this day that's one of the happiest sights I've ever seen.

The Blue Danube Waltz as I saw and heard the entire thing for the first time.
And my nomination for the Song of the 20th Century, Sing Sing Sing, Benny Goodman.
Can I have both?
