I got dragged to the āEdinburgh Tattooā a few years ago. Didnāt know what a Tattoo was supposed to be so I was very confused given it was in a reasonable large stadium. I learnt it is a big, loud annoying band that moves around to assault your ears from all directions.

Weāve been taking him to the St. Patrickās day parade since he was tiny, and I guess it just caught on for him! Then we were watching some YouTube stuff like a year ago and he says āI want to hear the music like at the parades.ā and gestured like playing bagpipes, and that was what he meant!

Since this is the Off Topic forum, I guess I can derail the thread off-topic and ask this:
My fellow musiciansā¦
If you could only play one song for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Mine: Everlong by Foo Fighters. Iām a drummer.

Hmmm.
I am a (poor) guitarist but I think I would pick either Lucille by BB King or Call me the Breeze - original JJ Cale version.
Can I pick one guitarist? If so JJ Cale

Tool - Lateralus. Since itās already been mentioned, perhaps Iād choose Pneuma

Is Lateralus the best Tool song and also best album? Maybe I listen to Aenima more often, even though itās not their best album.
Good choice. I still have yet to properly listen to Fear Inoculum in its entirety. I got to Pneuma and just got hooked on it.

I like a few of them. Lateralus isnāt my favorite song, but it is pretty good. I really liked the new album. It is probably the most drum heavy album and as a drummer, it is just amazing to hear top notch drumming that doesnāt stop for an entire album (aside from a few weird tracks).

You and @doogie surprise me on this one. I like First Aid Kit, but I thought they were relatively small (maybe I am wrong, but I didnāt think Swedish folk music was very popular?). They are certainly better than their popularity indicates (my silver lining is a fantastic song).

Love that album. Its funny when youāre training and you finish your main lift realizing you only listen to 3 songs lol. And yes, Danny is out of control good.
As to First Aid Kit, crazy how two Swedish girls do a better job of carrying the torch for a folk/country/western sound than 95% of current American groups.
I was really tempted to have something by Allison Krause but e said 1 song, had to go with Tool. Btw gotta put āright in twoā high on the list.

If I were to pick a more traditional song, Iād pick either a Neil Young or Bob Dylan. If this is āfor the Rest of Your Lifeā Iād want to ensure the song withstood the test of time.
My favorite Neil Young song is Cortez the Killer (so many to pick from, but man I love this one)
But in reality, I think this may be the best rock song ever written. Itās almost cliche to say, but Dylanās āLike a Rolling Stoneā cannot be overlooked.
