SRV-Zeppelin Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 20 years ago on Dec 6th he bit the dust... too bad. Roy Orbison was definitely a pioneer in the "rockabilly" genre, and he's definitely one of my favourite artists.... so, while I'm at it, what's your favourite song of his? and don't join the bandwagon and say "pretty woman"... I'd have to say "Leah." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brundaddy Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I always like the ones David Lynch did sendups of in the movie, "Blue Velvet." It was "Candy Colored Clown" & "In Dreams." I did always dig "Walk On" too. He always sounded like he's from another world or up in the clouds or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 A great musician yes but a little creepy, maybe . I loved his work with the Willburys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSG_Standard Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 My favorite Orbison tune is "Crying"...if you've never seen "A Black and White Night Live" it's worth renting. It's an HBO special with Roy and lot's of people playing his music with him...It's awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I like Blue Bayou. The Linda Rondstat version is even better though IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
