Huh?

All Along the Watchtower is about a "joker" and a "thief".   It is has been said to also be about the Record Company ripping him off as well. :confused:

Waiting for the Worms really isn't a "war tune".

Really?

"There must be some way out of here," said the joker to the thief,
"There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief.
Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth,
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth."

"No reason to get excited," the thief, he kindly spoke,
"There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke.
But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate,
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.

All along the watchtower, princes kept the view
While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too.

Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl,
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl."

You show me a single reference to "War".    I'm all ears.

It's hard for me to choose favorite songs, but when I do it's generally from these bands: The Beatles, AC/DC, and perhaps some others.  

I don't like the "modern" music so much, just people either screaming, swearing, or a nasty combination of them both.

Beatles would have the one. Just which one?
Yesterday?

Interesting thread, but it is important to remember the subjective nature of the question and answer.

Basically a person can only offer a favorite or two.

Some that stand out for me:

Funeral for a Friend - Elton John
Bridge over Troubled Waters - S&G
Freebird - L Skynard
At this Moment - Billy Vera and the Beaters

No idea how anyone could pick just one as it so often depends on the mood I'm in

Feeling kinda quiet and reflective right now, so a bit of Nat King Cole in the background sounds nice just for that voice that is so smooth.
