Thorn Tree in the Garden off Derek and the Dominos' Layla. It's not as good as the song Layla, however it really brings together the whole album after the fantastic reprise of Layla.
After Layla's desperate feverish first half the reprise seems so optimistic and grand , the sound of love finally requited--and then you're plunged back into misery with Thorn Tree.
Not quite as wek as the previous trolling effort. Nice touch with my email. 6/10

Umm, you're talking to yourself again. Can't you do that someplace else?

When the Levee Breaks opens side two of the vinyl .... read the title of the thread, Einstein.
Closes the CD. Did they change the order in moving it from Vinyl to CD?
slim slow slider.

Excellent choice. Astral Weeks still haunts me.
How about "Radio Now" off the famous Radiohead bootleg album. That one's sweet.

Doors "When the musics over" -Strange days
Nice one.
2 more:
Led Zep "How many more times"- Led Zeppelin
Little Village "Don't bug me when I'm working"- Little Village
While noting that everyone has their opinion, most of the stuff mentioned is pretty boring to me. My vote is for Iced Earth - A Question of Heaven off The Dark Saga - a fantastic closing track. A close second is Live to Lose by Godflesh off Us and Them - an unbelievable track, written many years before I think but released on their second last album.
The Beatles get a mention on this thread, as per most music threads on letsrun, to compare them to someone like Iced Earth is to compare (for you American blokes) a '57 Chevy with a 2007 Corvette Z06 - the only reason you prefer the old model is because you a nostalgia freak, the new version is better in every possible way. To complete the Chevrolet analogy, Bruce Springsteen is the equivalent of a Chevy Malibu - relentlessly middle of the road without exciting anyone with half a brain.
Cars have improved a long way and so has music, there is much much better shit than the Beatles/Dylan/Springsteen rut that a lot of you blokes are stuck in. Open your minds people...

Ditto. I used to listen to Astral Weeks almost every day. I wore out three of the albums before I got it on CD around 1986

You display an incredible amount of ignorance with this statement. I'm not saying your preferred bands are not noteworthy. But to downplay the muscial significance of the Beatles/Dylan/Springsteen is pure folly. You, my friend, are the one who needs to wake up.
Procol Harem's In Held Twas in I from Shine on Brightly. I wonder how many of you have even heard of this masterpiece.
