j.c.,
Just a suggestion: Most of these are popular hits.. It will be good if 'Thiru's criterion' (in the other thread) is adopted: "There are certain movies/songs which are not blockbusters or not even hits, but still the movie/song is a good one.. "
I'm sure each of us can come up many such recommendations.
sir,
in the first place, i didn't know these were popular hits at all. next time i'll try to come up with hitherto unknown yet nice ones. :)
hope atleast not many have heard these before:
1.sick cycle carousel

3.a night out-jim carrey
4.crazy town-butterfly
5.no easy way out(rocky 4)
6.eye of tiger(rocky 4)
7.hearts on fire(rocky 4)
8.vitamin c-friends forever
9.carlos santana-maria maria
j.c.
Maria - Santana? :smile2: ok, one man's find could be another's hit. No probs, have fun with your lists. Try to add some comments if possible. I'll post my recos later.

Bloom in the summer's sun and the winter's snow
On every branch will blossom, dreams for me and you
Our tree of love will stay ever green, if our hearts stay ever true
Oh darling, I love you so, don't you know that I'll be
True 'til the leaves turn blue on the evergreen tree
On every branch will blossom, dreams for me and you
Our tree of love will stay ever green, if our hearts stay ever true
Oh darling, I love you so, don't you know that I'll be
True 'til the leaves turn blue on the evergreen tree
On the evergreen tree, on the evergreen tree. :cry: :cry:

"Echoes" by Pink Floyd from the album "Meddle" - This fills one whole side in the casette-version of the album.
Listen to this song, everyone and let the song speak for itself.
P.S: Though you can listen to it in any situation, with any setting, in any mood, for best effects try this in the following conditions:
Choose a decent system with good bass/surround
Switch off lights
Lie down
For optimum "experience" getting stoned is recommended
Hit "Play" and close your eyes
1)Californication - Red Hot Chilli Peppers
2)Animal Song,I knew i loved u - Savage Garden
3) My love, Fool again - Westlife
4) Maria maria - Santana
5) Blu Night - MLTR
6) Jaded - Aerosmith
Another one from the Floyd vineyard.....
The album "Atom Heart Mother" (named after a newspaper headline with the same name)...
Their first major experimental shift before "Meddle".
For those who listen to it and wonder "What was all that about??".... i'm sure you'll like at least "Summer 68", which is quite catchy......
yeah ... Summer '68 is a good song -Quote:

i felt the cold far too soon in a wind of ninety-five,

tomorrow brings another town, another girl like you,
have you time before you leave to greet another man.
and AA, did Atom Heart Mother come out before Meddle ... i thought both the albums were released in '71?
Think AHM came before Meddle...Quote:

Any fan of Bob Dylan here.He is at first difficult to like, but once you get hooked on his songs it is for life!
His song "Like a Rolling stone" is considered the greatest song in rock music.It is also the most cruel song I have heard. It is about a woman who used to high and mighty and now fallen on hard times,See the way he taunts her
"once upon a time you dressed so fine,you threw the bums a dime, didn't you?...........How does it feel to be without a home , like a complete unknown,like a rolling stone,"
Then he goes on to finish her like this:"when you got nothing, you have nothing to lose,Y0u are invisible now, you have got no secrets to conceal"
I think he is best when he is cruel, in another song about masters of wars he writes,
"I hope you die, and your death ll come soon,
I ll follow your casket,in the pale afternoon,
And watch while you''re lowered, down to your deathbed,
I ll stand over your grave,till I'm sure you're dead."
His "shooting star" is a lovely love song,
Any fans here?
Bob Marley - all hits
(Concrete Jungle, Buffalo Soldier, One Love, Get Up Stand Up, I Shot the Sheriff, Iron Lion Zion, Johnny was a good man, Redemption Song, No woman no cry, exodus, is this love, stir it up, red red wine, soul rebel, mr. brown)

Now , he has written "Times they have changed ", recently, Michael Douglas was in the video.
Interesting thing is the band "Rolling stones," got their name from the song.
i think the song you're referring to is 'Things have changed' ... i dont remember the exact words but it goes something like this -Quote:

i used to care, but
things have changed
the song is part of the soundtrack for the curtis hanson film 'Wonder Boys' starring michael douglas & tobey maguire.
interestingly, the same film also had another bob dylan number -'shooting star' - anyone heard it?
just curious - why the question mark against 'paradise' ... not sure if you liked it? :)Quote:

Seen a shooting star tonight
And I thought of me.
If I was still the same
If I ever became what you wanted me to be
Did I miss the mark or
Over-step the line
That only you could see?
Seen a shooting star tonight
And I thought of me.
Listen to the engine, listen to the bell
As the last fire truck from hell
Goes rolling by, all good people are praying,
It's the last temptation
The last account
The last time you might hear the sermon on the mount,
The last radio is playing.
Seen a shooting star tonight
Slip Away.
Tomorrow will be another day.
Guess it's too late to say the things to you
That you needed to hear me say.
Seen a shooting star tonight
Slip away.

I really love it when he moves in to higher gear, urgency in his voice when he sings,
"Listen to the engine, listen to the bell
As the last firetruck from hell goes rolling by,"
What imagery!
look at the words he uses,
"It's the last temptation
The last account
The last time you might hear the sermon on the mount,
The last radio is playing."
I don't think anyone can match him in usage of words
:lol: :lol: Oh dear!! that meant i wasn't too sure if that was the title of the song..... :twisted:Quote:

The sweet love story that is older than the sea
The simple truth about the love she brings to me
Where do I start
With her first hello
She gave new meaning to this empty world of mine
They'll never be another love another time
She came into my life and made the living fine
She fills my heart
She fills my heart with very special things
Angel songs and wild imaginings
She fill my soul with so much love
That any where I go I'm never lonely
With her around who could be lonely
I reach for her hand
She's always there
How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers now
But this much I can say
I know I'll need her until the stars all burn away
And she'll be there (x2)
Another one i've just remembered...
'Endless summer nights" - Richard Marx(?) :oops:
"sealed with a Kiss"....singer?? :oops:
Am forgetting singers...... :oops: :oops:
never heard of it ...Quote:

NM, Singer is Brian Hyland.
Thanks RR :D :D
Ramsri...it goes like this..."tho' we've got to say goodbye.....for the summer.....etc etc etc..... :lol:
But I agree, some songs become famous after a movie...just like "smoke gets in your eyes" and "pretty woman" :D
George Michael's Faith, One More Try and Father figure and Wham!'s last Christmas..
Belinda Carlile's Circle In the Sand and Heaven is a Place on earth
Kylie Minogue n Jason Donovan - Especially for you..
Whitney houston - greatest love of all
Tiffany - I think We're alone now
Sinead O'Connor - Nothing compares 2 U
Sade - Smooth Operator
You might like this one too from Sinead O' Connor...... "Thief of your heart" ... it was in the OST of "In The Name Of The Father"Quote:
