Music gets the best of me
September 29, 2005We all know the term “blockbuster”. Movies like Lord Of The Rings, Harry Potter, Spartacus, Independence Day, and so many more. Blockbuster’s a film term.
However, one can also apply this term to music. Some songs are of such greatness, almost pompus, monumental; a band’s or artist’s masterpiece, something they will never be able to topple. I today made a quick list of my favourite blockbuster songs. In no particular order:
These four are by far not all. These just fit the definition so well. They’re all also songs I have a special connection with. Hotel California because it is the best song ever written. The River because it somehow reminds me of the Teichies (my friends from East Germany, from the former DDR, probably the kindest people in the world). Everything I do because it simply is a monument from the early ’90s– the period in which I first became enchanted by music. The spell lasted ever since. It Must Have Been Love because it is the best song from the band that drew me towards music in the first place; Roxette’s Joyride album is responsible for my love for music– in 1991, when it got released, I already listened to it. I remember going to the library time and again to rent the Joyride tape, with my brother. High emotional value.
I was six in 1991.

Hotel California is actually in the top of the ranking for “Best rock song ever” on rankopedia.com
