Yup...best song on Abbey Road. Inspired lots of hard rock tunes like Slice of your Pie by Motley Crue.

Some music still plays well over 60 years later. The Everly Brothers- this is a cover, but since the cover thread has been abandoned, I will post it here:
The Beatles, I am the walrus
It's another great song.

One of the most original songs ever recorded. Best Beatles song ever, followed by Day Tripper, Nowhere Man, and I Want You (She's So Heavy).
That is my fab four.
And how about that crazy organ riff by Billy Preston? The recently released remastered version of Abbey Road discusses the making of "I Want You." And the write up said that there are different versions from the "Let It Be" sessions were Paul McCartney sings lead and one where Billy Preston sings lead with different words. Would be interesting to hear, but probably not as good.
First time I see this video from one of my fave Beatles song. Kinda cool to see Paul with a Rickenbacker instead of his iconic Gibson "violin" bass.
The Doors, When the music's over
The Doors and Jim Morrison have a lot of great songs.

One of my favorite Tull songs, seen him a couple of times in the 70's, always a worthy performance.

Jethro Tull "Cross Eyed Mary" Live @ Capital Center 1977
The incomparable Ian Anderson music machine rolls into town in grand style. Hope you enjoy this fantastically restored 1977 sound and footage. While never having the greatest light show in the business, Ian Anderson makes up for that with his superb humor and theatrics, and of course his...

One of the great one hit wonders of the 1990s was Harvey Danger, a group of University Washington journalism students from Seattle who hit it big with this song in 1997, which was their one and only hit before they disbanded in 2009, never having remotely achieved the same success. To me, the song "Flagpole Sitta" was somewhat anthemic and it still is a very representative song of the decade of the 1990s in my mind:
Another song that I really like from the 1990s was this huge hit from Duncan Sheik's debut album, Barely Breathing, which came out in May 1996. For some reason, whenever I hear this song, I think of the 1996 World Series Champion New York Yankees, a team that holds a place deep in my and many other Yankees' fans hearts. I lived closer to New York City back then and went to many games that year. That team was NOT a juggernaut, and did not have the strong starting rotations of the later teams of the 1990s that would win 3 more World Series. They won the World Series that year (1996) over the heavily, heavily favored Atlanta Braves (who may have had the better team) on the strength of one of the great bullpens in Major League history, and a deep bench, which included one of my favorite players of all time, Darryl Strawberry, an immensely talented power hitter who was as dangerous a pinch hitter as the Yankees ever had. I think the song reminds me of the team because everyone was barely breathing after their run through the playoffs that year and particularly the World Series, when they rallied from being 2-0 down with 4 straight wins to win 4-2, using timely and clutch hitting and exceptional performances by their bullpen in a series of heart-stopping, dramatic wins. This song is for that team:
