Hey, I just played that!
This ain't no party
This ain't no disco
This ain't no foolin' around!
I whip that line out occasionally. |

| Quote from Jeff on 2/1/2008 at 5:46 PM: Any Talking Heads fans?
Never been a big music fan but Talking Heads was the best concert ever in Nashville. IMO. Back in the day.
But I do like my AC/DC, anytime, anywhere. |

Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go. T.S. Eliot
Play the game, you know you can't quit until it's won.
Soldier on, only you can do what must be done.
You know in some way you're a lot like me.
You're just a prisoner and you're tryin' to break free. |

I already gave you THE best song ever, A.K.A. "Free Bird", but close second would have to be.. "Layla".

I had that chorus in my head as we flew into BIAP back in '05

This remains one of my favorite all-time songs, both on my running playlist and just in general:
I want to run
I want to hide
I want to tear down the walls
That hold me inside
I want to reach out
And touch the flame
Where the streets have no name
I want to feel, sunlight on my face
See that dust cloud disappear without a trace
I want to take shelter from the poison rain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Were still building
Then burning down love, burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you...
(its all I can do)
The cities a flood
And our love turns to rust
Were beaten and blown by the wind
Trampled into dust
Ill show you a place
High on ta desert plain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Still building
Then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
(its all I can do) |

How did this thread have no Springsteen? That's just wrong.
I'd go with "Thunder Road," though. Maybe the best lyrics ever. That song kept me sane for a whole year once.
Okay. Mostly sane. |

I'm very jealous. |

JakeKnight, I was torn between Jungleland and Thunder Road. Can't go wrong with either.
I wore out two vinyl Born to Run albums. |

Shelter from the Storm. Dylan.
I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail,
Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail,
Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

I agree. All Springsteen's lyrics from the Born to Run, Greetings from Asbury Park, and Darkness are fantastic.
For best song I'm gonna go with a tie between Rosalita and Spirit in the Night (definitely live versions!)
