What's your favourite song?

[TomUK]

Any song, any genre, any band, any singer, any time, anything you can think of!

So what's your favourite?

Lover you should've come over

by jeff buckley



Every time i hear i am amazed at just how perfect it is!

 

[longhair75]

This is a hard question to answer. Today, I hit repeat on my Ipod when I heard Mama Cass Eliot's tasty version of "Dream a little dream of me" Sly and the family stone's "if you want me to stay" Mavis Staples "the weight" and Harold Melvin and the Blue Note's "If you don't know me by now"

Right now, my Ipod is syncing to my classical music library, and tomorrow I will be listening to Mozart piano concertos, Beethoven's Sonatas and Bach's suites for solo cello among others

 

[TomUK]

All great songs.

If we could separate classical music for the time being. I think that's perhaps interesting on a separate thread. Maybe i shouldn't be distinguishing the two, but it's my thread so i shall.

So many; beloved for so many different reasons:

Ar Hyd y Nos, because my grandfather used to sing it.

Abba's Fernando, because of associations with the Royal Canadian Artillery and the fellowship of other CWAC's.

Boston's The Launch from Third Stage -- it was my wedding processional.

Mike & the Mechanics The Living Years and Billy Joel's A Matter of Trust and This is the Time and Degarmo and Key's Everlasting Love that Dean covered and used to sing to me when we were courting.

Grieg's Morning from Peer Gynt

The African Children's Choir's From a Distance

 

[PaladinValer]

Book of Days, by Enya <---by far, my absolute favorite, and she is not only my favorite artist, but arguably the best singer the world has.

Kyrie, by Mr. Mister <---second favorite, but the gap isn't much...

Neverending Story (The Extended Dance Mix), by Limahl <---a philosophy that the world has sadly long forgotten.

Into the West, by Annie Lennox
Into the Stars, by Rany Edelman (from the Dragonheart Soundtrack)
The Living Years, by Mike & the Mechanics

...
Kyrie, by Mr. Mister <---second favorite, but the gap isn't much...

Ah, yes; another of those favourites from my courting days!

 

[PaladinValer]

It is so inspiring too..with a great theology and philosophy.

Definitely belongs in a "secular hymnal"

And The Living Years we agree upon also belongs there too.

 

[IowaLutheran]

Boston's The Launch from Third Stage -- it was my wedding processional.

Very unique!

My favorite would probably vary from time to time, but I've got to go with Kashmir by Led Zeppelin.

 

[Tomoz]

Well I wouldn't say its my favorite song, but for the past week I haven't been able to stop singing "she's a brick...HOUSE!" and its starting to drive me quite barmy.
