I usually don't go in much for classical music - - sorry folks I guess I'm a 'yut there - - But there's a song that was used in GE lightbulb commercials quite awhile back - - - I never have been able to get the name into my memory - it goes like, "DOOOO, dooo, dooo, dooo, dooo, dooo, DOOOO, DOOO!" Anybody know just what the heck I'm talking about? . . .

Anyway I think that song is absolutely beautiful! ....

Oh, and of course, Handel's Messiah.

Trouble By Ray Lamontagne is a beautiful song that I've been getting into recently. Saw it on American Idol, and I do like it at that slower tempo, but it is a great song!

"Don't Give Up" - Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush
"Follow You Follow Me" - Genesis
"Only Love Can Break A Heart" - Gene Pitney (my favourite song on the radio station 1278 AM, which apparently plays the best songs of all time... I prefer 1377 AM though.)
This post is bound to be edited with a whole lot more entries... anyway, let's hear it from everyone else in the meantime!
Just a few additions...
"Mind Games" - John Lennon
"Father And Son" - Cat Stevens
"Wings Of An Eagle" - Russel Morris
"Fast Car" - Tracy Chapman
"It Never Rains In Southern California" - Albert Hammond
"Moonlight Lady" - Albert Hammond/Julio Iglesias
"Ain't No Sunshine" - Bill Withers
"Just The Two Of Us" - Grover Washington Jr./Bill Withers
"Another Day In Paradise" - Phil Collins
"Blue Eyes" - Elton John
"I'm On Fire" - Bruce Springsteen
"The Boxer" - Simon & Garfunkel
"Wicked Game" - Chris Isaak
"Under The Milky Way" - The Church
"Drive" - The Cars
"Yellow" - Coldplay
"Eleanor" - The Turtles
"Romeo's Tune" - Steve Forbert
"Valerie" - Steve Winwood
"State Of The Heart" - Rick Springfield
"Fall At Your Feet" - Crowded House
"Message To My Girl" - Split Enz (almost an all time favourite of mine for quite a while)
"Bitter Sweet Symphony" - The Verve (ditto above)
"Nights In White Satin" - The Moody Blues (buy the 2008 remaster of their Days Of Future Passed album immediately if you haven't already! )
"Cello Suite Prelude" - Bach (A classical music entry)
And any songs from Roxy Music's Avalon album. And pretty much any songs by Dido... let alone CM and SN!
Also, "Imagine" - John Lennon, but that's always implied! Actually, there are of course too many Lennon songs that are beautiful to pragmatically list, but "MG" and "I" are the most beautiful of all!
There are so many other beautiful songs I will probably never be able to mention them all. However, everyone else here seems to be doing a pretty good job of it (with several songs listed I also find beautiful (mostly the pre-90s material))!
Keep them coming! I know I will!

Well, I'll give this a shot.. my list won't be very varied. My parents didn't let us kids listen to anything outside old country, pop from the 50s-60s, cajun music and bluegrass, and even some of AKUS's albums caused a mini scandal, with songs titled Let Me Touch You For a While. Hehehe.

Didn't start branching out til I was 20, when I found out mah favorite singer was making an album with the Led Zep dude. So I checked out some Led Zeppelin, loved it, and listened to whatever I felt like since. OK... blah blah blah, here's my list:


Alison Krauss; New Favorite, When You Say Nothing at All, Borderline
with Robert Plant; Polly Come Home, and Please Read the Letter
Led Zeppelin; Going to California, Battle of Evermore
Nickel Creek; Why Should the Fire Die? Seven Wonders, When You Come Back Down
Simon and Garfunkel; Sounds of Silence, Scarborough Fair
Kate Bush; Wuthering Heights, Moving, Suspended in Gaffa
the Duhks; I See You,Turtle Dove, Annabel
Ron Block; Someone, Blackness of the Need..( he doesn't have an amazing voice, but he writes amazing songs )
Collective Soul; The World I Know
Fleet Foxes; Mykonos, White Winter Hymnal
Foo Fighters; Acoustic version of Times Like These
Linda Ronstadt; Blue Bayou (reminds me of home )
The Beatles; Hey Jude, Yesterday, Something
the Cranberries; Linger
The Carpenters; Goodbye to Love, Close to You
the Killers; All These Things That I've Done
the Shins; New Slang
Yeah Yeah Yeahs; Maps
Sean Watkins; Let it Fall
Yasunori Mitsuda; Unstolen Jewel Gotta throw a videogame track in here Nerd cred.

Instrumental Stuff -
Chris Thile; Raining at Sunset.. Actually ALL of Not All Who Wander Are Lost
Bela Fleck; Throw Down You Heart, The Over Grown Waltz, Three Bridges Home
Jerry Douglas: We Hide and Seek
Bryan Sutton: Walk Among the Woods
Alison Brown; Hello Mendocine, Without Anastasia


This is off the top of my head.

Love this thread, gotta lot of new stuff to check out from it.

And a handful more...
"Your Latest Trick" - Dire Straits (btw, "Sultans Of Swing" is a near favourite song for me)
"Great Southern Land" - Icehouse
"Black Velvet" - David Tyson/Christopher Ward/Alannah Myles/Robin Lee
"Sparrow Song" - The Seekers
"We Belong" - Pat Benatar
"Anyone Who Had A Heart" - Burt Bacharach/Hal David/Cilla Black
"Orinoco Flow" - Enya
And all the songs on Sting's album Soul Cages. And mostly anything by Alan Parson's Project, Al Stewart and Don McLean...
(As a side, my favourite DM song is "Everybody Loves Me Baby", which I wouldn't consider beautiful, but most enjoyable! )
And, just for the sake of it...
"Brown Eyes" - Fleetwood Mac
It deserves a special mention, even though almost any song by CM or SN is beautiful...
Also, I'm sure that I'm not the only one musing over how quite a few of the most beautiful songs have quite depressing themes...
