Hey guys, just wondering which song/s that you can play over and over time and time again and it never seems to get boring or lose that buzz from the first time you learnt to play it.

I have a couple...

'Needle and the Damage Done' by Neil Young

'under the bridge' by the chili's

    Paranoid Android - Radiohead

    since it's 3 songs into one, there's always bound to be something that suits your fancy for that given moment.
    "I'll do whatever the song dictates - if it doesn't need a real lead, then I won't do one. But if it does, then I'll fuckin' go off." - Mike

    "Japan is awesome; the fans there knew all the words to all the songs...at least phonetically." - Stone

    "I know this song so well, I can smoke a cigarette, have a drink, brush my teeth, take a shit, and mow the lawn while singing it. But I'll only be doing a couple of those things during this version." - EV

    For some reason, I would have to say Plush. It was one of the first tunes I learned and is fairly simple.

    definitely 'needle and the damage done'. also, i can never get enough of playing 'where is my mind?' and 'don't let me down' - by the pixies and the beatles respectively. and call me clichéd, but i never get tired of playing stairway.

    Right now I'm pretty hooked on Moses by Coldplay. The simplest tunes are always the best and most addictive.

    Even better, I can play two bars of Light Years for fifteen minutes and not get sick of it. The part that goes D D D/Bb D/C you know?

    And this week, the cheesy metal riff of Nirvana's Mrs. Butterworth (but only for the transition to the chorus ;))

    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    Lately its been Greenday's, Longview.
    SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.

    I get stuck on the beginning of Phish's Down with Disease sometimes.

    I'm not saying stupidity should be a capital offence, but what say we take the safety labels off everything and let nature run it's course?
