Your Favorite Classics

[Debater Slayer]

In the last few years, I have searched for original recordings of certain Bob Dylan songs and never found them—that is, up until recently. Today I found another one, much to my thrill:

Share your favorite classics!

 

[Mock Turtle]

B-side

 

[M83]

 

[Father Heathen]

 

[Rival]

[Mock Turtle]

German sounds so much nicer when sung.

 

[sun rise]

This version because it has all the lyrics and makes the song come alive with historical context (dim and flaring lamps, for example).

 

[Jumi]

Jimi Hendrix: Crosstown Traffic, couldn't find the full version on youtube.
.

 

[Twilight Hue]

Just about any Simon and Garfunkel.

Mrs Robinson

So many more....

 

[Phantasman]

 

[WalterTrull]

I'm into more esoteric stuff like "Rock Around the Clock" and especially "Dance With Me Henry". I mean, talk about your classics with hidden meanings. (Play them backwards!)

I don't really know if it's a classic, but you would have a hard time finding someone who doesn't recognize it:

 

[Frater Sisyphus]

 

[Axe Elf]

German sounds so much nicer when sung.

That depends on the classic.

 

[Curious George]

"More cowbell!"

Amazing and influential work, but this you choose as a favorite? Why?

 

[Frater Sisyphus]

"More cowbell!"

Like Stravinsky's Rite Of Spring, it's a work that I simply can never tire of. Both listening (on a good system of course) and studying it is a life-long endeavor, so much to live and experience through with it. Also, it has it's own nostalgic aspects too, it's not the only piece I'd put in this category but if I'm gonna contribute to this thread, then it's a logical place to start.
Gruppen is a completely visceral piece, you could compare it to psychedelic rock or Kubrick/Lynch movies or to any number of similar mind-bending visceral art-spectacles.
On top of all of that, it's a real one-of-a-kind innovative work that pushed serialism into space - which hasn't been topped yet.
