The most underrated group in history, and honestly I wouldn't have it any other way because their underground tracks are my secrets... But this song makes the list so here it is. Falls neatly into the life-saving category: I love this song, I love Streetlight Manifesto, and I love you for posting that. I almost posted it, but I went with Dispatch and State Radio instead. I saw these guys live with Reel Big Fish this summer and I saw them last summer with a bunch of random bands and they were honestly two of the greatest nights of my life. I love the way Ska sounds, but the stuff that Streetlight sings about is so much more real then the stuff that bands like Reel Big Fish or The Mighty Mighty Bosstones sing about.

When you read the title: "A Song EVERYONE Should Have In Their Music Library" You should read: Would a 10-50 year-old somebody (anybody) run the f*ck away from if they hear this at a public place. Btw + Show Spoiler + I listen to everything, my workout music is heavy metal/melodic death metal. But that does not justify posting it in "this" thread :D. I disagree completely. There is newer music that everybody can enjoy. Sure, every iPod should be loaded with The Beatles, The Ramones, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Johnny Cash, Ozzy and songs like Carry On My Wayward Son or Sweet Child O' Mine, but there's plenty of other great music that I think everybody should have. Hell, my dad would NEVER listen to Ozzy Osbourne, but he loves the Ramones and listens to them all day. Alternatively, I have a friend who swears that he hates the Ramones and others that hate The Beatles (don't ask me why, I don't understand it any more than you do), does that mean that they can't be included on this list? Dispatch is a band that is from around ten years ago, but I think everybody should listen to them at least once. I think it's pretty difficult to find a band that sounds like them at all, but just because they're not as old as other music they somehow don't deserve to be here? Hell at Dispatch 2011, despite most of the crowd probably being in their 20s-young 30s, there was still some 60 year old ladies sitting about three rows in front of me who were enjoying the music as much as anybody. Same thing with Streetlight Manifesto (though they're a bit more of an acquired taste, but that's just ska music), they're a really great band that has a very unique sound and message; so what if they're not ten years old. This is really just to compile a list of music that everyone should listen to at least once, just to give it a try (at least that's what OP states if you read it). It's not necessarily the most memorable songs of all time, but it just so happens that all those songs are music that everybody should listen to. EDIT: Also, best Blink-182 song def deserves to be here, and everybody who's ever been a teenager can relate to this. Blink-182 Dammit: + Show Spoiler + Because Old Blink-182 is the best, and new Blink-182 is, well, um, good? Sometimes? Yeah... | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Just a great song overall, guess most people could relate to it in some way Lyrics: The room was filled with talk For anyone listening I found a spot by the door With no one around Let my mind go Out of tune Out of tune I kept a smile on my face For anyone looking Tried to turn away questions Before he asked Let my mind go Out of tune Out of tune I was engrossed in the film Without really watching Said, "who's the guy with the gun?" As if I was involved Let my mind go Out of tune Out of tune You won't regret hearing it =) | ||

The second movement of Maurice Ravel's Piano Concerto in G is, in my opinion, the most beautiful piece of music ever written. This particular recording was played by one of the greatest pianists of all time (Krystian Zimmerman) with one of the best orchestras in the world (Cleveland). + Show Spoiler + | ||

Blink-182 Dammit: + Show Spoiler + Because Old Blink-182 is the best, and new Blink-182 is, well, um, good? Sometimes? Yeah... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JM7bkQ4HUK0 I don't feel like you're seeing the same point in the thread title. I like streetlight manifesto, and ska is a type of music that I would say everyone should give a shot at enjoying. That said, I wouldn't expect everyone or even the vast majority to decide they did enjoy it. This thread seemed to me to be about songs that EVERYONE should enjoy. Now obviously you are going to get the odd hater who doesn't like the Beatles, beethoven, w/e. Still, the songs that were made more than a decade ago and yet still remain a part of the public consciousness have a certain broad appeal that flavor of the month stuff doesn't. Take, for example, fortunate son by CCR. It wasn't the top song when it came out, but it is an amazing piece of music that is still played after other songs released that year are forgotten. There is contemporary music that will stand the test of time, I'm sure, but it is difficult to say what that is, and certainly most people don't have the sense for it. Anyway, that said, I'll contribute again with this song that I only found out about a few weeks ago, but I doubt I'll ever forget. Song: What did you learn in school today? Artist: Pete Seeger ( not the original, but best I found on youtube) + Show Spoiler + Influential artist playing one of the most bitingly sarcastic songs I think I've ever heard | ||

I'll also post this little bit of music by one of the most underappreciated bands of old (lolol disco), namely the Bee Gees' holiday (from the album "1st") | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Based on the Wheel of Time books. Helps to know what they are about to understand the lyrics but honestly I think the song is even better than the books (not that I don't like the books, but they don't give me nerds chills like this song does). *edit : I feel it's a type of music that's pretty open overall which is why I posted it btw. Not really heavy even if it is metal. | ||
