[song: Splendid Isolation]
Zevon's most famous stuff comes from the 70s, but he wrote great songs and had that killer backing band right up to 2002, when he was informed he had months to live and mustered up all his strength to complete his Grammy winning final album, The Wind.

[song: riviera paradise]
Love SRV, RIP. Here's my favorite. Shows his versatility, he had jazz in his bag too!
Just beautiful, peace, tranquility with this one.
The phrasing on his solos throughout this song, they just talk to you. It's how I feel about David Gilmour's solos too.

Sorry, I have to share this live too.

Hey folks, anyone posting can check the list that cusetown will update in the original post.

Best OT Thread, I could listen to these tunes all day long, and sometimes do!
Remember, just follow the format from examples that show the song name, and my app will pick them up when I run it from time to time.

Got to be one, if not the prettiest Jimi songs, and covers.

can it really be that we went 37 pages without posting the defining video of the first full MTV decade?

[song: Fairytale of New York]
in my opinion, the greatest Christmas tune of all time. RIP, Kristy.

And, yes, that is Matt Dillon in the opening montage

This is the first video I ever saw on MTV. Hooked ever since (until, of course, they stopped showing music videos).

 

[orange79]

I know it's 79, but this was the first video played on MTV, and one of my personal favorite songs. And you can't deny it IS cheesy...
[song: Video Killed the Radio Star]

[song: sexual healing]
One of my favorite songs all time. RIP

 

[tee1222]

[song: i remember you]
A little skid row action

[song: madalaine]
Watching this video makes you wonder where the funk Madalaine went. I see a lot of hair, but no girls. Little worried about you, Winger. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[song: in my dreams]
Dokken!
