Songs, brilliant from start to finish 20:09 - Dec 17 with 2869 viewscharmr

Songs with a great start and ending, uprising crescendos, verses, choruses, middle eights etc.

Thought about this as the radio played

Bowie’s Rock and Roll Suicide

Had a thread like this before and nothing has changed for me, It's still the excellent *Blowin' Free* by Wishbone Ash, Gibson Flying V and Fender Stratocaster.
Awesome Intro and Middle and the best absolute best guitar outro you will ever hear.

My Father had a profound influence on me, he was a lunatic.

Great, seriously underrated band. The whole album ('Argus') is a real gem

I found this song randomly a while back and it starts like some pleasant innocuous ditty, at 2 minutes it's cantering up to a crescendo by around 3 minutes and by the end it's like some sort of epiphany and I don't even believe in that sort of thing - great tune

“Oh, west London …”


West London. Great tune but very dated and embarrassing lyrics. Sounds like something to amuse teenage boys. Not great listening for the increasing number of female fans .

This is a high bar. I think a lot of these songs end up being the ones that threaten to eclipse an album.

The example I've been using of that for the last 3 or more decades is "...in much the same way as Mary's Prayer eclipsed the 'Meet Danny Wilson' album".

This one is a bit like that, and the album feels quite similar in a strange way. If you don't want to deal with the slightly distracting home video I'd just listen - 'I'm Still Trying' by Matthew Fowler.

I used to think Irony was one of the Channel Islands 'til I joined LFW.

I’m surprised the Beatles’ ‘A Day In The Life’ hasn’t been mentioned yet. Paul’s ‘middle’ bit certainly fits the bill (no idea if it’s a ‘middle eight’) and you can’t get more of a ‘crescendo’ than the orchestra going berserk at the end …

I wanted to post “in the sacred sanctuary of mine heart dost thou eternally repose” by Johnny Rotten, but can't find a youtube clip.

Another one, which I've just enjoyed double checking, is Dazed and Confused

And at what times was the baby born ?


If his account is accurate I would place the birth at 05:20.

Nearly 11 minutes of it….



One of the bands I was in as a teenager used to rehearse every Monday night in Camelsdale village hall. Drums, bass, 2 guitarists (I was one of those). We kept auditioning singers but never found a good one.
We only ever learnt to play 1 song which was Marquee Moon. We had all 10 minutes of it absolutely nailed but we never found a singer and never played a gig.

Thin Lizzy fans might not know this version of Don't Believe A Word that starts off slow and builds to a crescendo, but for me it fits the OP brief:

Title song of Bowie’s “Scary Monsters”. How can you beat a lyric like “She asked for my love and I gave her a dangerous mind” The man was a genius

Poll: Where will we finish up next season?

One little couplet that often enters my head is:
“She was big, having a baby,
She said are you hungry ? I said maybe”
Gawd knows what song that's from - we haven't had a couplet thread for years.
