The above post is a very interesting one in two lines, i think people MUST explain WHY the song is haunting like did the above poster by the reaction of his heart....
And more than one or two songs without explanation make this list in the last pages useless... Who will take the time to try all that ? Not me....
But with a few words explaining why it can be taken seriously...I suggest only one song and explaining why...
i dont bother myself with a list so numerous that it reflected limited taste mostly and not so much an astounding experience... By definition astrounding experience and haunting one are rare and precious...
i suggested only one songs album unique and explained why...
I like very much the idea of this thread but posting a list of pop songs or rock songs in a truckload without a word for each reflect anything save "haunting" it reflect the influence of Pop or rock music thats all...
Then call the thread "pop and rock successes billboard"...
Try Jazz, try classical, try chinese, try Indian, try Persian, try african, try.....
This is the reason why i never suggested Bob Dylan Or Simon and Garfunkel....Nobody will learn anything save my taste in very well known songs or less known one in commercial music billboard...
Ok i apologize and perhaps will wait and start a new thread ....
