I've just read the Nickel Creek thread in the rock section and this weekend I've been on a Neil Young CD spree. Listening to a lot of old NY CD's and reading the, NC are gods/NC are horrible posts, made me wonder-who's music & songs touch your soul? And why? I don't want this to turn into a best/terrible flame war. This is about music you love, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks about it. I'll go first, I'm sure I'll think of more later. Neil Young, almost everything he's done. Dire Straits/Mark Knopfler, again, almost everything they've done. Bill Monroe, too many to mention, both songs & tunes. Andrew Gold, "Learning The Game." The Rice Brothers, "This Old House." AKUS, "Sleep On." Triumph, "Lay It On The Line." Claire Lynch,"Sweetheart Darling Of Mine", "Missionary Ridge." Patty Lovelss, "Sorrowful Angels." String Driven Thing, "Take Me To The Circus."
Why? I think that I can relate to these songs in a particular way, #and the performers make you feel like you know a part of them throught their songs. I mean, with Neil Young you just know he's exposing a part of himself, emotionally to the world. Or just because it's done with an attiude of fun.
