Your Favorite Song Ever

[Suicane75]

1 Song. No effing around. Go.

Dream Academy- Life In A Northern Town

[Vince, Pt. II]

Deep Blue Something - Breakfast At Tiffany's

[RendeR]

Life in a Northern town is a top 5 for me too. Awesome tune but my number 1 has to be:

"Walking In Memphis"

Song gives me chills n shivers to this day a gazillion repetitions later.

[Scarecrow]

Damn, just one is harder than I thought.

As of this hour, my favorite song ever would be Bob Dylan's "Lay Lady Lay".

(and for the record, if Suicane wouldn't have picked Life in a Northern Town, I probably would have)

[rowech]

"Dear Prudence" -- The Beatles

[albionmoonlight]

"Yesterday"--The Beatles

"Eyes of the world" --Grateful Dead

Def Leppard - Hysteria.

Thanks. My whole day is shot now. I've been debating all morning with myself trying to come up with the answer to this one. I have it whittled down to 2 ... no wait, 3. Not wait, 4. Dangit! You see what you did to me??

[Honolulu_Blue]

Sally MacLennane - The Pogues

[Matthean]

I don't even try. There's simply noway for me to pick just one.

[Fidatelo]

+1

[Kevin]

Hotel California

[cody8200]

Fast Car - Tracy Chapman

[PackerFanatic]

Bohemian Rhapsody

[spleen1015]

I don't think I can chose one.

[britrock88]

One song? Nuts.

[markprior22]

I always answer this with More Than a Feeling by Boston but I could be easily swayed.

[whomario]

David Bowie - Heroes

[INDalltheway]

It should be mandatory to embed the YouTube video of your song ITT.

[Bonegavel]

It all depends of the moment and the mood but right at this minute:

Houses of the Holy - Led Zeppelin

[MacroGuru]

Somewhere over the Rainbow by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole..

I don't know why, but this has been my favorite song for a while now...But I am like revrew, there are several I could pick that are honestly dead even.

[Ron Mexico]

At the risk of sounding like a sacrilege, mine's actually a cover:

Hurt-- Johnny Cash

[MIJB#19]

Porcelain - Moby

[murrayyyyy]

"Baby Got Back" Sir-Mix-A-Lot

How can anyone be in a bad mood after singing or listening to that song?

[path12]

The side 2 medley on Abbey Road.

If that doesn't count, Shine on You Crazy Diamond.

[Glengoyne]

I'm going to have to stick with my favorite song seen live in concert. Still not easy as there is a lot of competition here as well

Melissa Etheridge: Piece of my Heart

[johnnyshaka]

Bron-y-aur-Stomp - Led Zeppelin

[Blackadar]

Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0)

[TCY Junkie]

Johnny Cash - Cocaine Blues

[rowech]

Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0)

I'm not a Pink Floyd fan except for this song. It is an unbelievable song that can be interpreted on so many different levels.

[PurdueBrad]

I was debating two but someone already posted one of them ("Comfortably Numb") so I'll go with the other:

"Trippin' on Hole in a Paper Heart" by Stone Temple Pilots

[Buccaneer]

Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd

[Draft Dodger]

my answer, good for today only, is AC DC - Live Wire

[AENeuman]

Love will tear us apart - Joy Division

[Groundhog]

Simple but beautiful:

Caravan - Love Song (with flute).

[kcchief19]

Don't You Want Me - The Human League

[Izulde]

Tough choice, but if I had to pick one, I'd go with Ricky Nelson - "Travelin' Man" - my own personal theme song and it was the title of my column senior year in high school.

[Comey]

Rapunzel, Dave Matthews Band

[BYU 14]

More than a Feeling - Boston

[Chief Rum]

I have a feeling I'll need to conduct my own personal field of 68 tournament to narrow down my favorites to just one.

[Draft Dodger]

I have a feeling I'll need to conduct my own personal field of 68 tournament to narrow down my favorites to just one.

I went to iTunes to see what was my most played song to help narrow it down. and that's when I found out it tracks play counts from iPods and that my kids listen to a lot of Gangnam Style and Lady Gaga

[tucking fypo]

Debonair - Afghan Whigs

[korme]

Personally hoping all of these links are just RickRoll'd videos. Because Rick has to win.

[thealmighty]

Tiny Dancer, Elton John

[Groundhog]

Tiny Dancer, Elton John

You are mistaken sir, the title of that song is in fact "Tony Danza". :D

[Radii]

The most important song to me, for the longest period of time, during my formidable years, was You Were Meant For Me (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FieafOoaFu0) by Jewel.

Homeward Bound by Simon and Garfunkel and Black by Pearl Jam, and Just Breathe by Pearl Jam are better songs, have meant a lot to me at times in my life, and are all songs that I would never skip over when they come on. Its practically with regret that I state that my final answer is the damn Jewel song.

I don't always listen to classical music, but when I do, I listen to Pachelbel's Canon in D Major.

[Tim Tellean]

Stairway to Heaven.

[ISiddiqui]

"Death Letter" - The White Stripes

[Buccaneer]

Stairway to Heaven.

I thought about that but it's clearly in my top 4, which are incidentally all the same songs: Comfortably Numb, Silent Lucidity, Stairway and November Rain. :)

[QuikSand]

"Here Comes The Flood," Peter Gabriel

[Bonegavel]

"Here Comes The Flood," Peter Gabriel

I'm surprised you didn't pick a Billy Joel song.

[Qwikshot]

"Here Comes The Flood," Peter Gabriel

I like that song...I think though for me it depends on mood

Introspective: "One of These Things First" Nick Drake
Aggressive (weight lifting time): "Killing in the Name" Rage against the Machine
Wake up and go: "Brother Rapp Pts 1 & 2" James Brown (live version)
Inspirational: "Dogs Days Are Over" Florence + The Machine
Calming "Pancho and Lefty" Townes Van Zandt (live version)
Goofy "Hobo Humpin' Slobo Babe" Whale
Romantic "The Ship Song" Nick Cave (live version)
Brooding "White Trash Heroes" Archers of Loaf

if there is a song I'll never tire of its "Under Pressure" David Bowie and Queen

[Qwikshot]

I went to iTunes to see what was my most played song to help narrow it down. and that's when I found out it tracks play counts from iPods and that my kids listen to a lot of Gangnam Style and Lady Gaga

I've been trying to get my one year old into David Bowie and Nick Cave, the wife disapproves but my daughter loved Talking Heads, Monster Magnet, Wilco and Joe Cocker, of course now she's into more mainstream but I hope that she can at least enjoy disposable music while knowing what good music is.

[EagleFan]

There is no one song that is my favorite. Too many categories to choose from and each mean something slightly different than the other.

[britrock88]

I'd be interested in the "your favorite song that none of your friends like" thread.
