    Favorite song

    Well, I was curious to see what everyone's favorite song was, or maybe your life theme song. I've always thought of Aaron Copland's Fanfare for the Common Man as mine.

    What's playing in your head when you wake up, or roll down the road?

    So was I Dale, I don't know what happened either.Guess someone didn't like the music.

    There is a thread like this one over on the UK forum that has been going for a VERY long time ( The Rolling Stones ) you should check out.

    Over 100 posts by now I bet. Well let's try again..........

      Rush

        Ever seen them in concert Don? I did back in the late 70s. Unbelievable 3 people can make that much music! You couldn't even see the drummer on stage, you just saw a symbol or something move once in awhile.

        This has always been one of my favorites.......

          +1 on Rush

          I have to many bands and songs to list.

          Where Rush is concerned, I currently listen to on my mp3 player when I am riding is Fly By Night, and Red Barchetta.

                Weird Al's "White and Nerdy" is my song. Maybe not my favorite, as I get chills from a few Jim Croche songs too, but Weird Al's song fits me to a tee! (I always wanted to learn Klingon...)

                      Hi drake,
                      hardly a "song" but neither is the Copeland fanfare.
                      Bach's toccata and fugue in D minor played by Albert Schweitzer on the Günsbach organ.

                        An excellent piece of work that. I'll have to look up a recording by Schweitzer. Have you ever heard the Canadian Brass play it?

                          Something like this Fred? It's quite beautiful and complicated.
