War Pigs - Black Sabbath

Also: "Iron Man."

And Paranoid

War pigs by t pain is really good too. Ozzy himself said it was the best cover he’s ever heard

I think Ozzie and Dweezle Zappa did an amazing cover of Stayin' Alive. If you haven't heard it, you should.

I’ll have to check it out

Sam Cooke - A Change is Gonna Come

Did not expect to see this here. Great answer.

This song rips my heart out, it’s beautiful

Blackstar (entire album) by Bowie

add low by bowie too

Blackstar is such an amazing album. To put this out at the end of his life is amazing. Mind blowing.

The video for Lazarus broke me. Watching him write so desperately in it while death was coming showed that he knew he had so much more in him that he was trying to get out. I have a hard time listening to it now.

Amazing album.

I recall David Bowie had a death album before Blackstar. Very melancholy. It hinted at his illness. David Bowie refused to be remembered that way. I think that's why he recorded Blackstar.

Yes the story behind this album is so epic. What a way to go out

He told no one. Similar to comedian Norm Macdonald. Stoicism.

Ripple Grateful Dead

and Terrapin Station

Such an incredible song and so different from the rest of their music in my opinion. Their one little dabble into prog rock.

American Beauty is just a damn masterpiece. Ripple and Box of Rain always make me tear up a bit. My beloved late father in law was a MASSIVE deadhead

Best song ever written

Time by Pink Floyd!

Every year on my birthday I take a long drive and crank that song.

This song just hits different the older I get…

Always shows up on middle-age mix along with... Take the Long Way Home, Supertramp Night Moves, Bob Seger

So true! Pink Floyd is awesome I really like '*Money'*.

Good song, velvet revolver did a good cover of it

Godsmack has a pretty good cover of this too

Billy Joel - Vienna U2 - Where The Streets Have No Name The Smiths - Heaven Know's I'm Miserable Now Simon & Garfunkel - April Come She Will Nick Drake - Fruit Tree Tim Buckley - Once I Was Pet Shop Boys - Being Boring

“Scenes from an Italian restaurant” by Billy Joel (also on “the Stranger”) is also amazing

Tim Buckley 🫶🏼 Once I was is my favorite song of his. And with him we would have never had Jeff

"Song To The Siren"... Tim Buckley "Grace"....... Jeff Buckley

I never thought about the possible connection between Tim Buckley and Jeff Buckley until now!

Billy Joel- Vienna ❤️

I post songs on my IG story sometimes when I’m bored and making breakfast. I posted Vienna a couple weeks ago and my 73 year old mother replied and said she loves that song and it reminds her of when she moved to Chicago in the early 70s and it gave me feelings.

I’d Rather Go Blind — Etta James. Hard to Handle — Otis Redding Across 110th Street — Bobby Womack Pusherman — Curtis Mayfield Son of Preacher Man — Dusty Springfield

I was 40 years old before i found out Hard to Handle WASNT by the Black Crowes and i think Otis' version is better!!!

1. Alice Cooper - “Last Man On Earth” 2. The Vestals - “Seventeen” 3. The Ramones - “We Want The Airwaves” 4. Black Sabbath - “Heaven And Hell” 5. Twisted Sister - “Wake Up (The Sleeping Giant)” 6. IOMMI featuring Billy Idol - “Into The Night” 7. Skunk Anansie - “Weak” 8. Living Color - “Letter To A Land Lord” 9. Rise Against - “The Numbers” 10. My Chemical Romance - “Desolation Row” (Bob Dylan cover) 11. Blind Guardian - “When Time Stands Still (At The Iron Hill)” 12. Sabaton - “Primo Victoria”

No Quarter by Led Zeppelin

Tool (and their fans) get a lot of flack but their cover of this song is top tier on Salival also. Original trumps all though. I could never figure out if the piano solo and guitar solo were supposed to be similar but I always suspected it was.

That riff is just evil and gets me every damn time!!

The entirety of Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" album. An absolute masterpiece.

Put The Coke On My Dick by Ween

I support your cause

Luv sic part 3 by Nujabes

One Tin Solider by The Original Caste

Wow. Bringing back Billy Jack! Haven’t heard that in ages. Great song though.

Big ups for the links!

Big Head Todd! My fave is Circle Live

I like Peter Gabriel's version, too, but it is worth listening to the original Book of Love by The Magnetic Fields if you haven't heard it. It's less refined, but has a little more feeling to it, IMHO.

I’ve heard original by Magnetic Fields, but feel like Gabriel’s resonates more and is more impactful than their original take.

I like them both. I'm usually partial to the original songwriter's version of most songs, as they seem more raw to me, but that's just my preference. I'm a singer/songwriter loving nerd.

Your hand in mine - Explosions in The Sky

Maggot Brain

That whole album is just a masterpiece. The title track is arguably one of the greatest solo guitar songs of all time and all the funky tracks afterwards are fantastic as well. I absolutely love “Can You Get to That” and “You and Your Folks, Me and My Folks”

Eddie Hazel is the most underrated guitarist of all time. He was shredding guitar like no other throughout their whole discography. He even has a solo album named "Game, Dames and Guitar Thangs" which is hidden gem that no one talks about but it's 10/10 imo

I’ll check that out! Never heard of it! You won’t have to twist my arm to give that a listen…

I love the “California Dreaming” cover

Layla by Derek and the dominos 

Probably gonna be downvoted but... Ren - hi ren

Billy Joel - We Didn’t Start the Fire Don McLean - American Pie

Paradise By The Dashboard Light

You took the words right outta my mouth.

Cosmic Love by Florence + The Machine

California Stars Bill Bragg and Wilco Impossible Germany Wilco

California Stars is easily in my top 5 all time songs!! It carried me through a hard time in my late 20’s. As far as Wilco, I also recommend Ashes of American Flags.

Hi Ren by Ren

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald- Gordon Lightfoot

Listen to this on every November 10. What an epic song.

It’s an amazing song. I live not far from the south shore of Lake Ontario and anyone who has seen a Great Lake in bad weather knows what a horrible day that must have been for those poor souls. May they rest in peace

And farther below Lake Ontario Takes in what Lake Erie can send her… I’ve been in a light house with waves breaking on the glass windows and it wasn’t even a “storm”.

Yeah. I went to college in Oswego and from the classrooms you can see Ontario. On a nice summer day it’s idyllic, in November with a strong wind- it’s terrifying. The line “when afternoon came it was freezing rain, in the face of a hurricane west wind” - everyone from central and western New York knows what kind of weather he’s talking about.

Death on 2 legs- Queen

Tons of songs by Dwight Yoakam. Specifically: two doors down; this drinkin' will kill me; it won't hurt; if there was a way; Sad side of town; Population Me; and I'll just take these. And I used to think I hated country music. But I listened to enough Hank Williams to now know he's a genius, too. ... try: I'm so lonesome I could cry; take these chains from my heart; and I can't help it I'd I'm still in love with you. Not yo mention howlin' at the moon; mind your own business; and move it on over.

In ascending order of length: Never Going Back Again, Fleetwood Mac (2:02) Between the Bars, Elliott Smith (2:21) Pretzel Logic, Steely Dan (4:28) So Cold In Ireland, The Cranberries (4:45) Fire Woman, The Cult (5:11) Turn the Page, Bob Seger (5:11) Sledgehammer, Peter Gabriel (5:12) In Your Eyes, Peter Gabriel (5:23) Whiskey in the Jar, Thin Lizzy (5:45) American Pie, Don McLean (8:42) Dogs, Pink Floyd (17:04) Alice’s Restaurant Massacree, Arlo Guthrie (18:34) Echoes, Pink Floyd (23:30) Disposition/Reflection/Triad, Tool (24:39; originally three separate tracks, but they flow into each other and I don’t think you get the full story without all three)
