You may have heard it befor being song by others. This is my favourite version:

Shenandoah by Van Morrison with the Chieftains. One of the greatest American songs regardless of itstrue origin.

Since I'm in an 80s hair band kinda mood, I've been listening to Europe, Bon Jovi, and Ratt.

And can't forget the old Metallica. I never tire of pre-Black Album Metallica.

One of my many favorites also from the 80's but its not a rock song. 80's were the best though because music wasn't seperated like it is now.

This HAS to be on the list: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=387ZDGSKVSg&ob=av2e

Just barely makes the '80s, but brings back lots of memories from elementary school.

Pink Floyd did a great rendition but Crowded House to me is the best version (original)... Often called "Hey Now", the song is "Don't Dream It's Over". I was too young to know about love but growing up in the 80s with this music was great!!!

Pink Floyd? I'm thinking not.


Whoever mentioned Shenandoah - great song! Check out Dave Alvins' version.

You can never go wrong with Zeppelin. Talking Heads are great also.

Classic Zep can never be beat... Can't go wrong with Pink Floyd...


Changing up... I love this rendition of Highland Cathedral... but, you have to love classic Highland Military music to really enjoy it...

Highland Cathedral

Highland Cathedral

Here's the deal, CT:

Since 1995, I have ALWAYS gotten two VIP seats to watch the Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo during the first week of July every year.

How would you like to take the second seat this coming year? I am sure my wife would oblige if I ask her. She and my daughter and son have seen it quite a few times already. Always different but the best Tattoo probably around the world (according to the director of the Edinburgh Tattoo who sat next to me a coupe of years ago).

Good chance to meet and Maine is not too far either. Desertskin can come too but we will get him a ticket with the general audience. :wink:
