Your favourite song

[Banana Woofwoof]

If it came down to it, could you pick a favourite song?

I've thought long and hard and mine is "Red Sleeping Beauty" by McCarthy.  There. it's written forever now.

That's almost impossible to think of because it changes every day, but today my favourite song in the whole world ever is "I Know It's Over" by The Smiths. Yeah, I guess that is my favourite song but there are loads which come very close.

Two days ago it was Manic Street Preachers - Motorcycle Emptiness.

However, I'm having an Echo and the Bunnymen day today, so I couldn't possibly comment.

I always, somehow, get back to Barney...And Me! by The Boo Radleys, mind you. It's the "Faye Dunaway" and the killer play-out every time.

[Buck Naked]

Right now it's 'You Got Me' by The Roots - the version they did on Dave Chapelle's 'Block Party' featuring Jill Scott & Erykah Badu. An awesome rendition and a collaboration of some truly exceptional artists.

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird

[Emma Raducanu]

Even though it's actually not a  very good song, I always get nostalgic over Gravenhurst's Diane.

[mook]

For me its got be Amos Moses by Jerry Reed, mainly because it made my dear old Grandad laugh whenever I tried to play it. I've looked all over YouTube for the Jerry Reed original but I've had no luck. Shame really 'cos it's a great song. The closest I've got is this.

It's always so difficult to pin anything down when I try to think of my favorite song. There are songs that are always on my mp3 player, always in my 'various stuff' folder and always on a disk of stuff for a party or something, but they aren't necessarily my favorites ever.

Perhaps, at the moment I could go ahead and say... feck. I don't know! :)

The one song that 'feels' like me is perhaps 'No Gold' by Cardiacs. It's 'feel' is like how I feel inside. So vague, but it's like how I am to myself. Not happy or sad, but everything I am collected together. Very hard to explain, but I'd have that played at my funeral.

Or 'Here I Go' by Syd Barrett or 'In Persuit Of Happiness' by The Divine Comedy.

Waterloo Sunset. Holland 1945 second (for now)

[Sam]

Northern Sky - Nick Drake

[Small Man Big Horse]

12 Reasons Why by My Life Story. It's by no means the greatest song I've ever heard, but for various mostly personal reasons I absolutely love it to pieces.

Wake Up by Arcade Fire would come a close second though, probably followed by In To My Arms by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds in third.

[ccbaxter]

"Moments" by The Kinks, or "The Rainbow Connection" by Kermit the Frog. I can whittle it down no further.

[A Passing Turk Slipper]

We had this thread in the music forum really recently started by Neil I think, very interesting thread. I picked Shut Us Down by Camper Van Beethoven and I think I'd still stand by that but it is so hard to just commit yourself to one.

Tindersticks - Travelling Light

[Eight Taiwanese Teenagers]

[foxprorawks]

I'm a fan of The Beatles, ELO, The Eagles, Kanye West, Shakira, David Bowie, Steely Dan and especially Elvis Costello (amongst many others).

And yet, my favourite song is More Than a Feeling by Boston.  From the moment I first heard it.  And I can't explain why.

[Deadman97]

[tuba]

Mine's probably La Javanaise by Serge Gainsbourg- a beautiful, magical pop song.

[BJB]

If i was being hung over a cliff i'd probobly say

"Gorillaz-tomorrow comes today

or

Ricrad o brian-science fiction double feature.

Sorroy it has to come down to two. What are you doing with that kinfe? Stop cutting th- AGHHHHHHHHH!"

[Identity Crisis Ahoy!]

Let it Loose by The Rolling Stones.

[Brunette Romana 2]

Um, Blue by Joni Mitchell I think. There are plenty of songs that make me all shivery, but that's just the pinicle of  goosepimply-ness, oooh.

D'oh! Trigger happy mouse button!

[solidified gruel merchant]

'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' by The Beatles is probably my all time favourite. Closely followed by 'A Day In The Life'.
Oi loiks the Beatles, oi do.

[depressed beyond tablets]

Tales Of A Scorched Earth.

Devin Townsend - Life.
