Howdy Escapist, behold, a thread!
This thread isn't about nessesarily good songs or catchy songs but, cool songs. The kind that you hear and think "Wow, that's cool!". For example, Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love" has an incredibly cool sounding riff, played by Jimmy Page who is by far the most cool guitarist that is still alive. "Money" by Pink Floyd similarly has a restoundingly cool riff, while "Wish You Were Here" is less cool. It's a great song and one of my favourites, but it's more emotionally touching than just cool.
Other songs may be judged less on the context of the coolness or the content of the cool song, but by the cool effect it has on people. "Wonderwall" by Oasis may seem like a sappy love song at first, but it's simplicity to play for us ordinary people combinded with it's ability to make (forgive me for my horrendous generalising here) women literally melt when played by some young bloke in a bar means it can easily get the attention of that special someone, and is that not, ladies and gents, the most cool thing of all? Probably not actually, but you get my point.
Anyway, here's what I think is the coolest song ever made:
Just listen to that Riff! That's AWESOME!
So Escapist, what do YOU think is the coolest song in the world? (Hint Hint: I said coolest, not your favourite, remember to justify it!)
