Give me three songs where you think the music is genius

Another Bob - Blind Willie McTell.

I’d say:

John Brown - Bob Dylan

Our Shangri la  - Mark Knopfler

 

That’s only 2!

Steve Vai - For the love of God

Phil Collins - in the air tonight

Guns and Roses - November Rain

I can't Dance.

Follow you Follow Me.

That's All.

oh hang on that's not genius, that's Genesis.....

O Fortuna! from Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana. The opening bars never fail to send a shiver down my spine.

NIssun Dorma from Puccini’s Turandot - never fails to bring tears to my eyes (but only since seeing the opera performed live).

Parents, from Budgie’s Never Turn Your Back on a Friend - chosen simply beacause it’s good, and I was playing the album this evening so fresh in my head.

Many other prog rock and opera songs could fit the bill.

Surfs Up - Beach Boys

Easter Theatre - XTC

The Verb "To Love" - Todd Rundgren

Thursday Afternoon - Brian Eno

For The Love Of The Masses - Killing Joke

El Greco (movement IV) - Vangelis

Genesis deserve a thread all of their own

Dire straits - Telegraph road

Brain Eno - everything in his early years

Eva Cassidy - songbird
