If you post it, I will listen

Musical Mendicant · 08-13-2010, 01:56 AM

I really know next to nothing about music. I want to learn, and I thought a really interesting way to begin would be to expose myself to as many different sounds as there are varied tastes in the world.

So, if you're willing to help me in my path to musical enlightenment, all I ask is that you post the name of a song (or piece, I suppose) that you really like, and I promise to listen to it from start to finish. Any genre, any artist. If possible I would appreciate a link to the song you post, but if you don't want to or can't find one readily I will do my best to find the song myself.

Thank you.

'Get Up and Jump' by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The second song they ever wrote.

Perfectly sums my taste in music, and hopefully gives you a another unique perspective...

I love how 4'33" is like some musical in-joke here, yet if you asked some random person if they've heard of 4'33" they'd think it's the time the next bus arrives.

anyways, here you go.

These are pretty diverse I think.
