What One Song Have You Listened More Times Than Any Other In Your Life? (link to yours in comments)

in #music7 years ago

What song have you listened to the most in your life is not as easy to answer as you might think.  At my ripe old age of ??, I've listened to and loved so many.

For me the answer comes down to which song I never got sick of, listen too when it comes on the radio, play it over and over on youtube and have in all my current playlist.

In my mind my favorite song is the greatest rock song ever written.  I know I will take a lot of crap for that statement but for me it's true but I'm really interested in your responses.

My song is Complete Control by The Clash.   My reasons for loving it are many but the reason I have listened to it over and over and over again since I was a wee little tike in 1977 is the raw sound and energy.

Honestly,  I didn't really know the lyrics until much later on so it was just the feeling that fueled my love for Complete Control.  The hard driving punk intro was very unique at the time and the raw guitars and gritty voices were a dissonant surprise.  The break, guitar solo and outro are amazing and were enough to keep me listening for the last 40 year.

I've included a video with Lyrics so you can better understand the meaning of Complete Control and the story of a punk band going mainstream in sheer defiance of the establishment.   The Clash was more than anyone bargained for and this some exemplifies that.
