I feel like I don't have time to search out the best vids, but I'm going to post a few that I found quickly. I used to know how to embed, not sure now...

Paul Simon -- Boy in the Bubble -- omigod, I love this!!!!!!!! A great song, IMO
www.youtube.com/watch?v=GykbnvufIZE

Red Hot Chili Peppers -- Otherside -- <3 this
www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RtbPtD55ko

Red Hot Chili Peppers -- Around the World -- this is the music video, there's probably a good live vid out there somewhere. These guys are great musicians and so much fun to watch.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9eNQZbjpJk

Janis Joplin -- Piece of my Heart. No comment needed.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7JVxE2SYxo

Rolling Stones -- Get Off of My Cloud. Q3, that vid you posted of Not Fade Away is GREAT -- I think that's probably their best early song, fantastic. Def. better than Time is on my Side. But "cloud" is a personal, quirky favorite. Also love Ruby Tuesday. And Let's Spend the Night Together. When I was ~younger, parents of a friend of mine took us to Carnegie Hall to see the Stones in one of their first US appearances, haha.

Well, that's 5. This is just impossible for me. Probably will be back to post a couple more that I mentioned in the earlier post.

ETA -- edited to fix link for Piece of my Heart

Here's my third song. I was going to pick Placebo's version of Depeche Mode's I Feel You, but the true test of a great song is what it sounds like live, and I can't find any live recording of Placebo doing that song.

Instead I'm picking Placebo's My Sweet Prince, a song about drugs, not a lover. This is an old concert, back in the day when singer Brian Molko would often perform in dresses. He has lovely legs, though you can't see them all that well in this video.

Lovely choice - I love Placebo. I know it's an obvious pick but I do think the cover of 'Running up that Hill' is nothing short of genius. "And if I only could make a deal with God..." Been listening to that a lot lately.

Mika, where have you been? Been missing you!

Burning Man live info and convo:

I read this earlier. Someone said there was a death at BM due to "mescaline"... I had no idea what that was and had to go look it up. I learn something new everyday. Do not know if there was any truth to this or not.

I saw that tweet and assume it's true, but who knows? The tweet didn't say his death was due to mescaline, though--just that he died doing two things he loved: mescaline and dressed as a mermaid. Not the worst way to go IMO (at least as long as it wasn't unintentionally drug-related.)

Mescaline = Peyote = actually legal in some states due to its use in religious/spiritual ceremonies.

OKAY, the man has burned, the BMIR commentary made me cry, Sade is paying now and it's time to get my song links together!

So many great songs and lots and lots of my favourites so I'm adding a few songs from artists that I did not see mentioned.

Diamond Girl by Seals and Croft
The Way I Feel by Gordon Lightfoot
It's Too Late by Carole King

I'm not sure if anyone mentioned Cole Porter who wrote the most wonderful music and lyrics.

I Concentrate on You by Cole Porter

Also I want to give a shout out to zinnia and miachihu for Sauli Central. I am so happy that Adam has someone who makes him happy. Does anyone remember an interview in which Adam said he would want someone who kissed him a lot?

Thanks gelly and reihmer for all the pics. Thanks for all the information and contributions from everyone. I find you all as entertaining as Adam!!!

Ok, I know it's too late for more entries, but here's another I just thought of and no one has mentioned this artist. Love this song. ( Hmmm...Paul Simon, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Bob Dylan, Beatles, Stones, Ani DiFranco -- I like wordsmiths a lot. But not exclusively).

Ani DiFranco -- Evolve
www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiGitzvI_Uw

Another random song I love:
Courtney Love and Hole: Heaven Tonight
www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuJpySyBHiU

Joni Mitchell -- Circle Game
www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5HXT0bn7QY

Ian and Sylvia -- Tomorrow is a Long Time. Not my usual music, but I love them. I think it's partly because of my Canadian heritage (on my mother's side). This is a cover of a Dylan song.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y89rmBlNAx4

And I have to post this -- one of my favorite Beatles songs. And some of the photos in the vid are from the Shea Stadium concert -- I was there! My dad took me! I was so distracted by Paul that I walked into a pole! (By the way, LOVE the vid of Yesterday that was posted earlier in the thread).

Beatles -- For No One
www.youtube.com/watch?v=vo2UbO1JMQo

Bob Dylan -- Positively 4th Street. Snarky Dylan. My favorite. Also LOVE Like a Rolling Stone.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfpN2bgq64Y

Now it's getting late and I'm tempted to post something cheesy, but maybe everyone has moved on to the next thread...anyway, here's...

Hungry Eyes, from Dirty Dancing: Yum. LOL. Nobody puts Baby in the corner! RIP Patrick Swayze.

ETA: edited to fix Evolve link and the Heaven Tonight link

I can't possibly choose only 5 songs as "the best EVAH" but here are 5 that I definitely choose as personal classics.

1. Somewhere Over the Rainbow –Israel Kamakawiwo'Ole version (cheating, cause What a Wonderful World is worked into this version, too)

2. Imagine --Neil Young's performance (LOVE Lennon, but had to
work Neil in here, too...and NoAngel, ITA. This song is sacred.)

3. Time/Great Gig in the Sky --Pink Floyd (For two entire years of my life in the early 80's, I woke up to this song each morning.)

4. Hallelujah --Jeff Buckley's version (my fav, tho KD's is awesome and any L. Cohen song pleases me.)

5. Why --Annie Lennox (Diva of the first and finest degree--this performance is my absolute fav version.)

www.youtube.com/watchv=W7XRf6dSSk8&feature=related

Now, Q3, you've gone and made me leave out COLE PORTER, all the songs from musicals that I love, Billie Holliday, Nina Simone, numerous Beatles songs, Bob Dylan, The Stones, Led Zep, Carole King, James Taylor, Bonnie Raitt, Marvin Gaye, David Bowie, Queen, Talking Heads, Bill Marley, Neil Young, Paul Simon, The Clash, U2, Bruce Springsteen, Dave Matthews, Amy Winehouse, and...and...all the recent stuff I think COULD become classic!! Shame on you!

But I CAN'T leave out these two--two of my all-time favorite artists who eschew the music business altogether and just create non-stop music that I think is brilliant.

Both of these songs may be obscure except to fans of these people (neither got--or gets--much, if any, radio play, which I don't give a fuck about and neither do they, I'm pretty sure.)

JONI MITCHELL--you would have to give me 100 slots just for her. If any of you like her and have never seen her video "Painting with Words and Pictures" you HAVE to see it sometime. I WANT ADAM TO DO A CONCERT LIKE THIS SOMEDAY! How to choose from Both Sides, Woodstock, Blue, Amelia, Magdalene Laundries, River...on and on. But this one creeps into my head decades later.

The Last Time I Saw Richard

CONOR OBERST --again, if I HAVE to choose just one, today I'll go with this one. Angsty crazy Bob-Dylanish talent. He's a poet.

A Perfect Sonnet

Wow, I'm all hot and sweaty and tired after playing with fire tonight.

Hey, do you know what The Man's last words were?

"It's a dry heat." ;D

Posting random vid at the end of a dead thread - hah.
I spent my formative years waiting tables and working retail to buy tickets, gas money to see these guys. (Though the first time I saw U2, Bono and I were very young - and it was I believe a law school auditorium - lol)

"...tho’ we are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts..."

GREAT Bono speech at the beginning. I like this:

"...Rock'nRoll just means one word...liberation."
