The Tailgate 600 Songs You Must Hear Before You Die List--**READ RULES IN OP**

[Sticksboi05]

With the extraordinary success of the Tailgate 500 albums list, I thought we could do this as well.

Rules are you can only submit ONE SONG PER POST and please wait five posts until submitting another.

This should be another very fun thread.

Also, no offense to the hipsters but please, let's keep this to songs that you don't have to access by going to some random website and using a secret password.

Every once in a while can volunteers keep the list organized like in the albums thread? Thanks in advance.

As always, explanations and discussion make the thread more fun!

I'll start the list off.

1. Derek and the Dominos - Layla (1970)

Need I say more? Clapton and Allman together. The slide, the legendary riff and the beautiful piano coda. This song is a masterpiece.


Please, number your entries. It will make things 100% easier. And for informational purposes, if you have the year, add that.

[Momma There Goes That Man]

2. Gary Jules - Mad World

Beautiful, poetic deep and has quite a bit of different meaning and interpretations depending on who you are. Amazing.

[Ellis]

3. Three Days -- Jane's Addiction

[Mr Awesome]

4. The Boxer -- Simon and Garfunkel

9. They Reminisce Over You (t.r.o.y): Pete Rock & CL Smooth 1992

Probably the first rap song I remember hearing.

[Predicto]

10. Shout - The Isley Brothers (1959)

[Morning Wood]

11. The Show Must Go On - Queen (1991)

Powerful tune, and a direct hint at the inevitable end to a great singer's life.
