Cugalabanza Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) I think we all know that Tom's #1 choice is "Friday" by Rebecca Black, but I'm curious to hear from some non-geniuses as well. Some of my favorites: “The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carol” – Bob Dylan “The Mercy Seat” – Nick Cave “Famous Blue Raincoat” – Leonard Cohen and a hokey choice, but I still like it... “Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree” – Tony Orlando & Dawn Edited December 23, 2014 by Cugalabanza

outsidethebox Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 Sam Cooke change is gonna come. The line "it's been too hard living, but I'm to afraid to die" really hits home with me.

The Dean Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 (edited) Don't most songs tell a story? Even some without lyrics tell a story. Edited December 24, 2014 by The Dean
Cugalabanza Posted December 24, 2014 Author Posted December 24, 2014 Don't most songs tell a story? Even some without lyrics tell a story. Some more than others. I'm talking about songs with a particularly well-told, coherent narrative. Sheesh.
Pete Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 Desolation Row- Dylan One of my favorite Dylan songs. I love the rich imagery, but after listening over the years, I still can't decipher what it's about-
Pete Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 And every Dylan and Woody song tells a story- its hard to pick one
