Sir Stewart Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I made a mix of songs that are pretty much perfect. All could contend for the title.That said, here is my: PERFECT SONGS MIX:http://www.mediafire.com/?5fnmwxxxz8d Live - The Bangles Septembur Girls (live) - Big Star Ju Ju Man - Brinsley Schwarz Israelites - Desmond Dekker Jennifer Save Me - Golden Smog Her Father Didn't Like Me Anyway - The HumblebumsI Know You Don't Love Me - Ike Turner Long Time Ago - Jellyfish Jenny Artichoke - Kaleidescope The Last Thing To Go - Kris Kristofferson Dick About It - MOTO So It Goes - Nick Lowe Wagon Wheel - Old Crow Medicine Show Little Ole Country Boy - Parliment Hung Up - Paul Weller Ruby Soho - Rancid Starry Eyes - The Records Ball and Chain - Social Distortion Hometown Blues - Steve Earle Pomp and Pride - Toots & The Maytalls Covers a lot of stylistic ground, but all are perfect, IMO.(And yes, I know that Bangles song is an Emitt Rhodes cover.) Very intriguing mix - but the link is dead! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mpolak21 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 "Moonlight Mile" usually springs to mind, though "Visions" is a tough pony to bet against. I've been into Moonlight Mile quite a bit lately. --Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The High Heat Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 You can't say "mere mortals" then go on to name The Beatles and Satchmo! You got me there, especially on Satchmo, but I meant every song is a mere mortal in comparison to "Like a Rolling Stone." There are a few immortal artists that stand alongside Dylan, such as the two you mentioned. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Winston Legthigh Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Her Father Didn't Like Me Anyway - The Humblebums Do they end their version the same way Shane Macgowan ends his?

Gobias Industries Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I have thought about this, and The Band's version of "Don't Do It" (especially from the Rock of Ages record) comes pretty damn close to being the best song ever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
