OT: What's your favorite song from every band you ever listened to?

Submitted by Wendyk5 on February 23rd, 2023 at 4:13 PM

My husband and I are driving from Chicago to Phoenix next week to take in some Cubs spring training and have been looking for ways to bide the time during the drive. He came up with a game and we've been obsessed ever since. We're each creating a playlist consisting of our one favorite song from every band we ever liked or listened to. It's a daunting task considering we're both in our late 50's. We'll listen to and critique each others list over the course of the drive. He already has 6 hours worth of songs. I'm not suggesting you put your lists here, just giving you an interesting challenge in these football-free months. If you're into music, it actually can be a challenge to pick just one, especially from a favorite band.

To begin,

Allman Brothers = Jessica

Beatles = too many to mention, but the “1” recording / CD contains a good set

Skynrd = Freebird

Clapton = Crossroads (all four recordings / CDs if you have that media format)

Doors  L.A. Woman

Kinks - Lola

Fleetwood Mac -  Rhiannon

Allman Brothers - Midnight Rider

Lennon - Imagine

Don't have a favorite song from a lot of the groups I listen, but I think Gimme Shelter is probably the Stone's best song, probably Day in the Life for the Beatles.
