OT-Best song ever on the Songs forum?

My vote is Acrobat's Supper, My Love will find you, I've teared up listening to this song, it is "truely" amazing.

http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=1317601

This song touched me deeply, and that's what we all hope for when we write.

Followed "closely" by when the devil gives up (same group of guys).

Does anyone else have an all time favorite tune posted on this forum? And if so, what was it?

Thanks Jon, could you edit and post the links to those songs? I'd like to listen to them.

Thanks Jon, yes, that's good stuff :-) I listened again to that know how vocal tune, it's good, makes me happy :-) There are areas I could comment on, but I don't won't :-) Because "I just like it" :-)

And anything by mamabear is on my top ten list :-)

You guys are makin' me cry...

My top two (off the top of my head) would have to be Everything I Do and He Ain't Heavy, by everybody knows who...

The was a song posted once...I think on this forum or maybe on Home Recording dot com by 'Scud' called What's the Rush?

I thought it was pretty bloody good. Some sensational harmony singing and some sweet guitar and production work.

Check it out if you can track it down...should be on soundclick...just search for scud I suppose.

Robby: I linked the title to Paul's post. Its linked there. He keeps mp3s on his own server.

ha ha there's a lot of love in this room, thank you.

Jack, I've re-worked three of Ona's tracks, including Walk Away From Love, and you can hear those remixes on the Calamity Studio website at

Ona's a class act.

I do not think this kind of thread is appropriate. I do not want to engage in a popularity contest here. That sort of thing risks developing a clique driven elitist attitude which I prefer to avoid. I would hope that most members who post here are "newbies" and they would have no objective way of participating in this conversation, but could very well end up using what they see here as some sort of measure for success and that would be unfortunate, as it is meaningless. It is also somewhat self-congratulatory.

I say this without malice or anger.

Cheers

"I do not think this kind of thread is appropriate."

I disagree, without malice or anger.

Forum members used to have lots of contests in this room and I enjoyed participating in the voting. By titling this thread "best ever" Robby implied opinion because best and ever are pure subjective concepts that can't be defined.

There also used to be massive flame wars in this very room, which, while I'm glad don't happen here as much, did have an entertainment value all their own.

I think this thread is great and would submit that it would be cool if Robby aggregated all the song links in order of post in the OP so we could refer to them. It would be good for mix reference and to spur creativity if you ever hit a wall.

That would be very sad if it becomes the norm here.

There is utterly no objective way of determining "the best", so it is nothing other than a "personal popularity" contest.

I am not here to compete with others. I come here for peer to peer interaction. There are plenty of sites with plenty of competitions.

First : Music is not a contest, and you are wrong for trying to do so. Music is something for everyone to hear and the sounds regardless of how they may be should either be liked or not. IMO . You are talking about what people like to hear and trying to put a standard on what's the best and you are wrong for that. I'm sure you will come up with some smartazz remark that's funny to respond to me, that's ok though, your joking is an insult a lot of times to people when they are being serious. Just thought I would mention that.

As for how a tune might sound as being the best posted here on the forums : that's a matter of opinion.

I for one don't like this tune, that doesn't mean it ain't any good, I'm just saying that I don't like it, therefore I can't offer an honest opinion on it. It's just not my style of playing or what I listen to everyday and hear for the most part.

Well, I guess I just pizzed everybody off for saying that : "I don't like something".

I'm an honest person and I don't need COMIC RELIEF to silently MAKE FUN of me or OTHERS....... Just thought I would mention that..........

FREEZE1ST!!!

I have insulted "no one" please re-read everything I've said here "carefully", then read your rude angry post. I'm sure you'll probably threaten to leave again and be back tomorrow. My opinions are my own, I'm not criticizing anyone else, this forum and the world would be a much nicer place if people were allowed to express their own opinions without crap like this, or high ground moralistic "OH NO! YOU MUST LOOK AT THINSG THE WAY I VIEW THEM". This and other posts here are "pure, unadulterated, BS". I am a free man protected by the constitution, it's too bad the simple statements made here can be found so offensive, by me saying that I particularly like this performer, or this song. Jesus! Grow up!!

Thanks Rob, do you have links for these? I've never heard any of them, and that's what I was trying to get at, really great music that I have not heard or been exposed to, as opposed to stiring up a hornest nest, Thanks.

A haunting song, that paints a vivid picture of the aftermath of a fierce battle.

If I had to pick a favorite, I think this would be it. Lovely textures, and Nick's bass is to die for.

After nearly three years, this one still gives me chills.
Sadly, the links to Stephen Foster and DeBro evade me, but I have downloaded MP3's.

This one tells it s story in a very visual and captivating style.
These may not be everybodies "best", but they grab me, no matter how many times I listen to them.

Let's all be honest here for a second.

I will go first

All of the best pieces I have heard here have all be composed by the same individual. His name is Ron and he goes by the moniker of rolifer.

There are a number of other pieces that are very good here, but if Ron wanted to hear that kind of music, he would have composed it himself.

Now that everyone is convinced I am an arrogant bastard, you're right, I am.

But my guess is that so are you. If you didn't think your music was the best, why did you post it?

Realistically speaking, I know my music will never show up on anyone's best list. I compose classical music which is rare in this forum and even in more classically related forums, my music is frowned upon by many because it doesn't fit the accepted mould. I have known this for a long time and accept that my music isn't for everyone. I still post and greatly enjoy any and all comments. I even believe some of them from time to time.

Right now my favorite posted piece of music is

http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=1461407

Hopefully that will change once I compose a new piece.

I do agree with Shad. Lists such as these are usually leaning towards popularity contests more than anything else. Newbies get lost and the older members get upset if they are not on the list so what is the point? On the other hand, If I missed the next greatest piece of music in the world, I would like to hear it.

Please keep in mind that this is all satire, but even within satire, there is some truth.
