In my haste this morning, I forgot to add Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA" to my list.

The best statement about the present times.
"Lawyers, Guns, & Money" by Warren Zevon.

"Dad, send lawyers, guns, & money, get me out of here"

The replacement for "Grass, Cash or Ass"

"Free Bird,"
by Lynard Skynard!
one great song

nathan barton

Ballad of the Green Berets.

"Fighting soldiers from the sky,
Fearless men who jump and die,
Men who do just as they say,
These are men of the Green Beret,
Trained in combat and SF ,these are men,
Their country's best,trained to fight  
both night and day,these are men of the
        Green Beret."

"Silver wings upon their chest,these are
 men,America's best,one-hundred men we test
 today,but only three win the Green Beret."
 

M4 -

Thru your song picks and ESPECIALLY the post above, you are showing your [strike] age [/strike]  uhh, I mean immaturity.

Amazing Grace done on the bagpipes could only NOT affect you is you were brain dead. Or have no soul.

Some other good ones -

Christian -

Ray Boltz "Behold the Lamb" If you have ANY faith in God at all, you GOTTA hear this song. Makes me cry like a jilted school girl.

Country -

Teddy Bear (can't remember the singer)
He Stopped Loving Her Today - George Jones
If I were you - Collin Raye

Rock -

Cuts like a Knife  - Bryan Adams
Heaven - Bryan Adams
Remembrance Day - Bryan Adams

Not the best - but all good.

Rodeo song:  "Well, its 40 below and don't give a ..."

Sigman, you have a point there...A/3/11th

For us Rednecks:

[size=4][b][u][red][center]THE DEVIL WENT DOWN TO GEORGIA[/size=4][/b][/u][/red][/center]

GREATEST SONG EVER WRITTEN AND/OR COMPOSED!!!
But seriously...I could never pick one song as the best.  Too many excellent songs.  Oh what the hell, I say Star Spangled Banner.

Four Horseman by Metallica

garandman:  I think Elvis did Teddybear.

"Standing on the Moon"  Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter.

I'm getting to old for this shit of picking the best after 50 plus years. Lets just say long live rock and roll.

By the way those who have heard the highland pipes know what it does to a mans soul. There no words to express it.

Without a doubt, I would have to say, "Semper Fidelis," by John Phillip Sousa

And, yes... Amazing Grace played on bagpipes

Other great ones would include "The Thunderer" and "Stars and Stripes Forever" (both by Sousa), and "National Emblem March" by E.E.Bagley

"Ride of the Valkyries" by Wagner ("scares the Hell out of the 'Slopes...'")

Theres nothing like the feeling you get from hearing this song after a field problem and being dogged tired.  Somehow it lifts up people's spririts and makes you just say hooah!

Nobody Knows Me
(Lyle Lovett)

And I like cream in my coffee
And I like to sleep late on Sunday
And nobody knows me like my baby
And I like eggs over easy
With flour tortillas
And nobody knows me like my baby

And nobody holds me
And nobody knows me
Nobody knows me like my baby

But it was a dream made to order
South of the border
And nobody knows me like my baby
And she cried man how could you do it
And I swore that there weren't nothing to it
But nobody knows me like my baby

And nobody holds me
And nobody knows me
Nobody knows me like my baby

And I like cream in my coffee
And I hate to be alone on Sunday
And nobody knows me like my baby

Well these might not be the absolute best but these are a couple of the best nonreligious songs at least to me. More to follow later, maybe.

From the Wild Angels Soundtrack the best Biker Music.
Blue's Theme
Midnight Rider

and how can we forget
Born to be Wild

That song from "The Naked Prey" (c)1966.

Can't recall the title.

Wait for DVD release.

"The Stars and Stripes Forever"   No matter what kind of music people like, this one gets everyone's blood up.
