ONE favourite song

Livo · 06-04-2005, 09:10 PM

this thread will more than likely flop due to frustration from participants but if you had to have ONE favourite song and ONE ONLY, what would it be?

Vienna · 06-07-2005, 05:20 PM

i think Grace, i did proclaim it my favourite the other day after much deliberation but i generally do that once every now and again! i think maybe a better one would be favourite song of the month

mine would be right now.....My Chemical Romance - Thank You For The Venom

(last month it was....The Mars Volta - Roulette Dares (the house of)...think i said all this is the what you listening to thread at some point!!!)

Gazel · 06-07-2005, 05:25 PM

I agree. I love that song!

Though if hard pressed, I could say with certainty that my favorite song would be by Simon and Garfunkel. Probably "America."

genzoman · 06-09-2005, 06:41 PM

bob dylan - boots of spanish leather. i dont know if its mine FAVORITE..but i think its the best written song.

marymac · 06-14-2005, 02:30 PM

Um...past while its been Ryan Adams 'I see Monsters'

Even though the first time I heard it I was on the verge of killing the man, it still took me to pieces.

liamd · 06-14-2005, 09:12 PM

mmm, probably New Slang(when you notice the stripes) by the Shins for everything it means and reminds me of. It's so hard to think of just one though!

Ranting Thespian · 06-08-2005, 09:37 PM

Imagine , the greatest song ever written. When I die, I just want the word Imagine on my tombstone, nothing else.

. . . I hope someday you will join us, and the world will live as one . . .

Conclusion: it really isn't 'Imagine'!! This song really bugs me - it's not so great!!

the song itself is perfect i feel, but i can't feel anything but contempt for the other instruments that john isn't playing... it would have been better if he was on his own, it would have given the song more space.

Tink · 06-09-2005, 05:38 PM

Louis Armstrong What A Wonderful World, i always love it.

Mort · 08-23-2005, 02:12 PM

somewhere only we know - keane,ive heard this song 1year ago for the first time-
i love this song and i will.

royster · 08-23-2005, 02:52 PM

i'm so pleased to hear people mentioning Jeff Buckley, songs like 'Satisfied Mind' 'Lover you should have come over' 'forget her' and obviously 'hallelujah' are fantastic.

but as others have already said, picking a single song is far too difficult, so instead i'll just list a few great ones that spring to mind (in no particular order)

1. Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah
2. Bob Dylan - I Shall be released
3. Santana - Samba Pa Ti
4. Coldplay - Swallowed in the sea
5. Damien Rice - Older Chests
6. David Gray - Birds without wings
7. The beatles - while my guitar gently weeps
8. Eric Clapton - Tears in heaven
9. Jason Mraz - You and I both (acoustic)
10. Keane - She has no time
11. Neil Young - My my, hey hey
12. Oasis - Live forever
13. Radiohead - Karma Police
14. The Smiths - The boy with the thorn in his side
15. Stereophonics - 1000 trees

bear in mind, these are ones that i can just think of, off the top of my head

Mankman · 09-06-2005, 01:18 AM

Hmmm Hurricane by Bob Dylan, seeing as im in a protest/violin/gypsy/weird vocals mood. Touche.

Cali · 09-06-2005, 06:02 AM

right now it has to be antony and the johnson's the lake. it's based on the poem by edgar alan poe. it's just piano and vocals and it's one of the most beatiful songs i've heard. you can hear it here: http://www.theworldofadam.com/thelake.html

Ladies and gentlemen we must bear witness to this superb and original sense of super-wit.Never has one badly spelled cliché been utilised so effectively.Who said oldies aren't goodies? Pif and fie, this person is clearly a genius...

(This is called sarcasm boys and girls)

Jen de mighty · 08-29-2005, 10:09 AM

I would say..

Bad - U2.

Whenever I hear it, everything seems to stop. it's very weird. (in a good way!)

Of course what I meant to say is one of the songs that means the most to me is swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits

"Now some say he's doing the obituary mambo
Now some say that he's hanging on the wall
Perhaps this yarn's the only thing that holds this man together
Some say he was never here at all"
