I wanted to reply that is a great list . My top 5 Lind songs are Truly Julie Blues, Elusive Butterfly, Dale Ann, Spilling Over and Remember the Rain. I would like to know if Bob ever would consider coming to Gulf Shores Alabama for a concert ?

Caught the movie "The Boat That Rocked" the other day...

Ah, as they say..."the current generation may have the toys, but we have the music..."

Great topic. I have called these universal or transcendent songs, and posted a comment on what this category of song means to me on another forum topic, "elusive butterfly". Anyway, here is my list:

Gentle on my mind - John Hartford
Don Quixote- Gordon Lightfoot
Both sides now - Joni Mitchell
City of New Orleans - Steve Goodman
Chimes of freedom - Bob Dylan
Diamonds and rust - Joan Baez
Elusive butterfly - Bob Lind
Sunday Morning Coming Down - Kris Kristofferson

Three songs I wish I had thought of when I wrote my list are:

Dream On--Aerosmith
Don't Fear the Reaper--Blue Oyster Cult
Time Has Come Today--Chambers Brothers

Time has Come Today has a hypnotic quality which I found very compelling the first time I heard it--I felt like I was being sucked into a whirlpool. It is one of the few songs which remind me of precisely of where I was when I first heard it. I lived in Stamford, Connecticut then, which was also the home of Brian Keenan, the band's drummer.

A song that I can currently play any number of times a day is 'Small Room' by Elliott Murphy. EM is an American born singer/songwriter who is very popular in Germany and France and indeed most of Europe.

This particular song is about an artist, his female model and her violent boyfriend. I love the way the first lines of the song also bookend it after the story has been told. I have most of his albums, dating back to the mid seventies.

I just bought the Krauss/Plant cd tonight. I probably won't get a chance to give it a listen until tomorrow when I'm stuck in Los Angeles traffic and wishing that I was driving through the Smoky Mountains instead.

Just wanted to say that the entire new Alison Krauss/Robert Plant duet CD is blowing me away....and I have no other music by either artist, but this thing is fantastic. Been playing it practically nonstop since it came out on the 23rd. Incredible stuff. Plant's versions of Gene Clark's 'Polly' and Townes Van Zandt's 'Nothin' are sublime. Alison does some amazing stuff as well.....'Trampled Rose' & 'Let Your Loss Be Your Lesson'. Not a wasted note here. Great album. Wish I was driving through the Smoky Mountains listening to it....

Oh yeah? Oh yeah? Well, a butterfly can kick a housefly's ass any day of the week. Ha ha.

From the immortal Ogden Nash:

God in His wisdom made the fly,
And then forgot to tell us why.

Maybe the theme to Night of the Hunter?

There was a fly...
It was a pretty fly....

Hello, nice site

Kie--I like that Beach Boys tune, "Don't Worry Baby" very much as well. I remember hearing it in the car 10 years ago or so during a trip with my family, and although I had heard it many times before, on this occasion it cast me in a spell. Funny how that can happen sometimes with a song you are already familiar with. About 2 years ago I listened to the "Bridge Over Troubled Water" album again after a long hiatus, and was very taken by, "The Only Living Boy in New York". I had always liked it, but it really grabbed my heart this time. Some lovely things there.

As far as a song affecting you like a drug, ever hear a tune having something to do with a certain winged insect floating by someone's window?

quote="Kie Miskelly"]... living in England in 1964 you kinda got swamped with Beatlemania, it was everywhere, in the papers, on TV, in the shops...... but Elusive Butterfly is in that precious list along with Nilsson's Everybody's Talkin' and Gordon Lighfoot's If You Could Read My Mind... music, don't you just love it???[/quote]

I actually like The Beatles'music more now than I did at the time. Not all of it though.

and Everybody's Talkin' is a song that I should have included in my list.

Another I forgot to mention is Ticking by Elton John. I never hear it played on radio, but I think it's far and away the best song he ever wrote.
