Hoy tengo sábado DJ, y como hicieron los de la revista The Rolling Stone con su lista de las 500 mejores canciones de todos los tiempos, me ha parecido divertido hacerme con el Youtube mi propio Top Ten de las canciones que más me gustan de todos los tiempos. Ahí van:
1.Smells like teen spirit. Nirvana. 1991
Esta canción es grunge puro y el vídeo una pasada, una declaración total. Para mí son el mejor grupo de rock de la historia.
My way. Frank Sinatra. 1969
Esta canción comparte podium con Nirvana. No me canso de escucharla. Hay muchas versiones y todas son bonitas, pero cómo la canta Frank Sinatra no se puede igualar. En realidad ,es una adaptación al inglés hecha por Paul Anka de una canción francesa. Cada vez que la escucho me dan ganas de hacerme un karaoke.
And now, the end is near;
and so i face the final curtain.
my friend, i'll say it clear,
i'll state my case, of which i'm certain.
I've lived a life that's full.
i've traveled each and ev'ry highway;
but more, much more than this,
i did it my way.
Regrets, i've had a few;
but then again, too few to mention.
i did what i had to do
and saw it through without exemption.
I planned each charted course;
each careful step along the byway,
but more, much more than this,
i did it my way.
Yes, there were times, i'm sure you knew
when i bit off more than i could chew.
but through it all, when there was doubt,
i ate it up and spit it out.
i faced it all and i stood tall;
and did it my way.
I've loved, i've laughed and cried.
i've had my fill; my share of losing.
and now, as tears subside,
i find it all so amusing.
To think i did all that;
and may i say - not in a shy way,
"no, oh no not me,
i did it my way".
For what is a man, what has he got?
if not himself, then he has naught.
to say the things he truly feels;
and not the words of one who kneels.
the record shows i took the blows -
and did it my way!

2. Forever young. Youth Group. 2006
Esta canción es preciosa y se la he dedicado a Xabier en la entrada anterior.
3. Como el agua. Camarón. 1981
Esta canción que pertenece al disco de La Leyenda del Sur, me lleva ahí, al Sur y Camarón la canta con el corazón.

4. Summertime. Janis Joplin. 1968
Janis Joplin se dejaba la piel cuando cantaba, tenía una garganta y una sensibilidad que lo flipas. Esta canción, que no es original suya, es puro verano.
5. Where is my mind. The Pixies. 1988
Son los padres de Nirvana y esta canción del disco Surfer rosa es puro indie. Y por eso me gusta.

6. Heroes. David Bowie. 1977
Esta canción tiene una letra preciosa: We can be heroes just for one day. En este vídeo David Bowie la canta superelegante.

7. Caresse sur l'Ocean. Les Choristes. 2004
Es parte de la banda sonora de la película francesa Los chicos del coro (2004). Toda la banda sonora es preciosa pero esta canción es mi preferida por el solo que hace este niño que se llama Jean-Baptiste Maunier.
8. Start me up. The Rolling Stones. 1981
Junto con Nirvana, son mi grupo favorito. Esta es un subidón de canción. Te dan ganas de ponerte a bailar.
9. Caruso. Luciano Pavarotti. 1986
No es que me guste mucho la ópera aunque esta canción no es en realidad ópera, pero cuando la escucho es como estar en Italia y es algo especial. La escribió en 1986 un compositor italiano, Lucio Dalla.
10. Knocking on Heaven's doors. Guns N Roses. 1991
Esta canción la escribió Bob Dylan, pero la versión que hacen Guns N Roses es la que me gusta. De hecho, Bob Dylan no me gusta mucho y Guns N Roses tampoco. Pero esta canción cantada por Guns N Roses me encanta.
Mama take this badge from me
I can't use it anymore
It's getting dark too dark to see
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Mama put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore
That cold black cloud is comin' down
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
