Hands down, "Angie" by the Rolling Stones.

It's Over, Roy Orbison.

Yes, theotherchad, "Angie" is a real heartbreaker. Jagger's vocal is one of his most sensitive!

Well, Rev. Mojo, you have two votes on that one: My wife went nuts over your choice! She said "Mojo nailed it!" And my vote is --- "You nailed it!" Orbison, as you know, freaked out The Beatles with his stoic stage-manner, just standing there and SINGING like a bird! The Beatles learned alot from Orbison, by the end of their live performing careers.

O.K. --- My favorite Beatles ballad of all time, with the best of ANY song introduction of all time:

"IF I FELL"

Hah! Try and top THAT ONE!

The only one that really gets me is Paul Simon's Father and Daughter

Favorite Beatles ballad? How about She's Leaving Home?

oooohhhh good one! Mine would probably be Golden Slumbers, despite the cheesey use of it in the Bee Gee's Sgt Pepper movie.

Maybe not a rock song, but Marc Cohn does it for me with "True Companion"

... but then again there is John Lennon singing "Mother" - Ouch...!!

"Mother" - Ouch...!! is correct! Man, that whole album if filled with moments like that.

We've had discussions before here about whether Kurt Cobain or John Lennon were more emotional is their vocals. I chose Lennon's "Well,Well,Well." Pretty hard to top. Neil Young's album "Tonight's The Night" is almost as raw. Cobain's vocals are chilling, though. "Nevermind" is probably in my top 5 of all time.

Love this stuff --- makes me feel GOOD, not depressed, like watching a movie that is so intense it stimulates your artistry!

Best,

Ern

Interesting that you mention how movies and music can inspire each other; it's one reason I'm a huge Scorsese fan.
