One track...

[Buce]

 

A tough ask, I know, but if you could only listen to one track for the rest of your life, what would it be?

 

For me it would be this version of this song:

 

 

[Arriba Los Zorros]

Wow. What a topic. Don't think there's a single track I could listen constantly to without hating.

 

if this was an actual thing would probably go some intensely long and deep classical piece that required multiple listens and complex thought to understand it if I had to make this choice (and research beforehand because I know nothing about classical music).

 

Off the top of my head I'll go with this as always enjoy this one:

 

 

 

[Duquesne Whistle]

When I saw the thread title, I thought it was about Brendan's tactics.

Only jesting, don't hate on me.

 

 

Good question @Buce, Over the years, I've overplayed many a band, then had to banish them from my listening for a time before I could go back to listening to them again. Bands that I love that have been subjected to this treatment include Creedence, Little Feat, The Allman Brothers, among others. I just played them to death and couldn't listen anymore for a while. Thankfully, all were restored at some point and I don't tend to overplay so much these days. Still tough to imagine a song that I wouldn't get sick of in the scenario you've presented though.

The track that entered my head immediately, without any thought put into it, was Marvin Gaye's version of I Heard It Through The Grapevine. Not because the lyrics are thought provoking or the music is fantastic, just because of how Gaye sings it. I think it's the perfect delivery for the words that were written, it's that simple.

 

Yeah, sorry about the needlessly long answer by the way. I enjoy pontificating about unimportant stuff, it's a failing I have never quite managed to address

It'd have be quite a long song to prevent you from going completely insane (I think you would anyway tbh). Long enough that you could focus and isolate different sections to keep it interesting.

 

Using that criteria I don't think anything tops this

Oooh this is good!

[Alf Bentley]

I reckon that if I listened to any single track too often, it would lost its impact over time.

 

So, if I'm limited to listening to just one track for the rest of my life, I'd have to spend most of my time not listening to music at all.

 

I'd therefore choose this one - and just give myself a brain-cleansing, morale-boosting burst of it once a month or when urgently required....

 

 

[Wakeyfox]

Too many to chose from, but would go with this off the top of my head, got a few songs in 1...

 

 

[Fox92]

Only one option for me.

Didn't even need to think about it:

So I've thought about this and like most have said it's pretty Impossible I reckon. Music is all about mood to me. A song for standing in a crowded pub is different from the one I'm listening to cycling through a deserted city as the sun comes up. A song for the beach or one I'm listing to as I'm driving through some beautiful countryside. But there is one song that fits most moods and it's the first jazz song that ever made me take notice of the genre. 10 minutes of pure joy, to me anyway.

 

 

[purpleronnie]

I could pick some songs already mentioned in this thread

 

So i'll choose this simply because it takes me back to a certain time and still sounds good to me after 1000's of listens, which i guess if you could only hear one song would be the most important aspect of the song you choose.

[Trav Le Bleu]

@Arriba Los Zorros and @Alf Bentley have pretty much summed it up. Can't listen to something over and over with it losing it's appeal.

 

If I was forced, it would be something long like one of these...

 

 

 

 

[Spudulike]

It would have to be something prog, and long. Not a cool choice but a track that I've grown up with and still go back and play it from time to time without ever getting bored. Genius. 

 

 

For something a bit shorter, it has to be... 

 

 

 

[Soup]

I couldn't live without this song

 

[ozleicester]

impossible :).... but today its..
