Something Different

OK I've been meaning to write this for ages but it never quite comes together so hopefully this time it will. I've been thinking about songs that have interested me. They're not necessarily my favourite songs of all time or even songs that I enjoyed, although I have really liked most of them, but they all have some quality which sticks out about them. 

Riders on the Storm - The Doors

60s rock bands like The Who, The Animals, and The Doors really intrigued me by their use of Hammond organs and this epic song is one of the better examples. My other favourite would be the much heavier Won't Get Fooled Again by The Who. Two contrasting songs that really show off the capabilities of this instrument. I really want to learn how to play one! 

Take Me Out - Franz Ferdinand

Starts like an ordinary punk song but then suddenly changes to something completely different. And unlike most songs which do this each part is almost a standalone song - albeit rather short. The Beatles did a similar thing in A Day In The Life as well as Muse in United States of Eurasia. 

Under The Bridge - Red Hot Chilli Peppers

I don't care what anyone says about Californication or Desecration Smile this is the Chillis best song ever. I love the way it mixes jazz chords and an R&B beat with rock and the constantly modulating choral ending is epic. I play this on the piano all the time and it sounds just as good. 

Little Lion Man - Mumford & Sons

Interesting mix of alt and bluegrass. I would also list Nickel Creek but I can't think of a single one of their songs to put down - their all so interesting and different. 

Fake Plastic Trees - Radiohead

The Created Void - Underoath 

Storms In Africa - Enya

Radio Ga Ga - Queen 

To name a few. Let me know some songs that had something about them that really interested you.
