Must-know music

[Rich]

"Bitersweet Symphony" by The Verve (Or at least the riff, you MUST know that)

The one the verve sold and the rolling stones made all the money out of an amazing song? good call Richard Ashcroft

Everyone should know and own the Dark side of the Moon album by Pink FLoyd, best album ever created, and i apparenty have a faggy taste of emo music

[Cactus Drags]

Ugh, Oasis? Christ.

I think "Enter Sandman" is probably Metallica's best known song, or "One" maybe.

There should definitely be some Maiden there too, not fucking Run To The Hills though, everyone who knows IM for that one song see them as cheesy as hell. Maybe the Trooper, Number Of The Beast or Fear Of The Dark. It's hard to pick a Maiden song that shows them off well, but that isn't so overdone or seen as cheesy like Run To The Hills.

[The Quasi Juice]

Songs you should know, maybe you don't even like them.

John Lennon - Imagine

The Eagles - Hotel California

The Beatles - Let it be

Johnny Cash - Hurt

Bit obvious ones.

[tristy]

If you're going to pick a Johnny Cash song, it'll be I Walk The Line or Ring Of Fire.

Nine Inch Nails has Hurt, and Closer. Definately Closer, though.

Run to the Hills is a great song. I don't know anybody that see's that song as cheesy either.

It was actually Hallowed Be Thy Name that turned me onto them, and has seemingly been one of their better known songs in my experience with fans of theirs.

Every self-respecting music fan should have heard Dying Fetus.

[Cactus Drags]

Trooper was my first Maiden track, and Fear of the Dark came shortly after, I heard the live Rock in Rio version first, it's awesome.

Fuck Imagine too, what the hell are you guys on?

[Liam]

Fuck Imagine too, what the hell are you guys on?

Since the topic are about songs everyone knows, it kinda doesn't take into account how good the song is.

Every self respecting metal fan should have heard Pantera "Walk"

[Clawson]

Ugh, Oasis? Christ.

Let's go with

Beatles - Yesterday, Hey Jude

Ray Charles - Georgia On My Mind

Jimmy Buffett - Margaritaville

Guns N' Roses - November Rain

Jimi Hendrix - Purple Haze

Elton John - Candle in the Wind

[Cactus Drags]

When the original poster said true music fans should know the tracks, I got the impression the songs were meant to be good. Whatever.

[Guest Grapehead]

How about a little song called "Smells like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana? I should hope everyone is familiar with that. PS - Don't be such a turd Dragsy, lol.

[Cactus Drags]

Fuck off, I was defending my point.

[Liam]

I don't think he meant the songs had to be good, just that the majority of people have heard it in some way, shape or form.

If it was "Must Hear Music", I woulda gone with your idea though.

"Born to Run": Brice Springsteen
