Your favorite song of all time
 

1979 by the Smashing Pumpkins. Originally I loved this because it was real mellow, and it made me feel good listening to it, and it was just one of those summer songs that was real relaxing. I started listening to it a lot, especially while driving, and I don't know there were so many times where I was stopped at a traffic light at 2 in the morning with this song playing and I would just think. I would just sit there and think about everything, just totally forgetting where I was. I went through a phase where I would listen to this song every single time I got in a car. I never got tired of it. Eventually I stopped listening to it all the time, but this song always seems to come back to me when I am "moving on" from something. Like when high school was ending, and just recently when I had relationship end really badly, or something, I don't know. I don't even know where I am going with this and I have been listening to the song the entire time I have been writing this and not thinking about anything I am writing and this is just one big stream of consciousness

I know it will sound cliche for me

Fade To Black - Metallica

Growing up, I listened to alot of country as my parents did the same so I grew up listening to such artists as Garth Brooks, Sammy Kershaw, Kenny Chesney, Etc. Now while those guys are awesome for country music and where I am from are commonly heard by all the kids as I grew up in the country. The above song really got me into other genres

Heres how it went. I was hanging with my buddy Peter during the first few days of school in 7th grade and he was playing something on his CD player, I asked to hear it and I loved it and I asked who it was, he replies "Are you serious?" I reply "Ive only ever had a bunch of country played around me man"

So he says listen to the CD, there was from memory

Fade to Black - Metallica
In The End - Linkin Park
Destroy All - Static-X
Paint it Black - Rolling Stones

I quite enjoyed what I was hearing, So I asked him to make me a CD with this kind of stuff on it and it went from there.

So honestly, that song is what got me listening to metal and hard rock, which to this day I favor over any other genre.


Now when I hear the song, it reminds me of the good times I had with friends back in high school, especially the line

"Life it seems will fade away, drifting farther everyday"

As time goes on the memories are hazy, but they are still there to remember :)

Pool Shark - Sublime - Acoustic Version

I honestly don't think i could pick *one*

do it you gay mexican hat dancing chico

Nine Inch Nails - Wish
John Mayer - Neon

I could not choose between those.

Use Me-Bill Withers

Shout by Tears For Fears

The way it is structured, the lyrics, the general sound... all perfect for me. I'm an 80's fiend and with this, the production and mixing teams got it back on and captured exactly what Orzabal and Smith were after.

Hit me baby one more time by Britney Speers.

George Jones - He Stopped Loving Her Today

Van Halen - Right Now

IAM - Demain, C'est Loin

Radiohead - Airbag

Either "Brandy" by Looking Glass or "Story of my Life" by Social Distortion

i've been thinking about this all morning and this is my answer for now
 

radiohead - true love waits

it was either that or the smiths - alseep

boomer pushed me over the fence

Can I Live - Jay-Z

Glycerine by Bush

That has stayed the same for 10 years and will probably never change

If I had to pick one, it would be....

Iron Maiden - The Clansman. The Deulists and Evil That Men Do would be very close seconds.

Other than that, some songs that are favorites....

Sevendust - Crucified.
Testament - Return to Serenity.
Reveille - Derelict
Audioslave - Show Me How to Live

Asleep is a good one too. Either choice is a good one.

new order - true faith

Duran Duran- Ordinary World

I'd say either "Special" or "Nobody Can Win" by Garbage.

Followed by "Exit Music (For a Film)" by Radiohead.

Wish you were here by Pink Floyd

I remember listening to this and just feeling connected to it.

The Smiths - Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now

I guess. I have liked other songs just as much or maybe even more but this song never gets played out no matter how many times I have listened to it for some reason.

Baba O'Riley - The Who

It really is hard to pick just one. But If I had to pick, the Offspring - Come Out and Play is one my top favorite songs. Disturbed - Voices is the closest that rivals it.

Da Mystery of Chessboxin' - Wu-Tang Clan

Megadeth - In My darkest Hour is another favorite of mine.

Iron Maiden-Killers
Eulogy-Tool
All My Life-Foo Fighters
Why Go- Pearl Jam

Sorry, couldn't pick just one... there's a few more too.

The Beach Boys -Surf's Up

Sad, ironic and the most beautiful coda in the history of pop music.

Three way tie:

Minus the Bear - Absinthe Party at the Fly Honey Warehouse
The Appleseed Cast - Steps and Numbers
Cursive - A Gentleman Caller

Each one represents something different I love about music, and are kind of inseparable as a result of being equally awesome but so fundamentally different.

If I had to pick one would probably be :
Incubus - The Warmth
Although Good Vibrations by The Beach Boys isn't far behind.

Alice In Chains - Down In A Hole

"Rollin" by Limp Bizkit is my favourite song of all-time. Fred Durst and Wes Borlin deserve a lot of props for their originality and innovation.

:wtf:

Was this in response to my post?

If so - it's not my fault that you have crappy taste in music.

I bet it's his fault you have horrible taste in music though. :lol:

Depends on my mood I guess.

The following have been my favorite song at one time or another

Radiohead- Fake Plastic Trees
Neverending White Light- The World is Darker
Pink Floyd- Welcome to the Machine
Led Zepplin- Achilles Last Stand
Anberlin- Miserabile Visu
Bob Marley- Redemption Song
Bush- Glycerine


Honestly, I could go on for hours, so I'm just gonna stop now.

It has been, and probably will always be, Pearl Jam's "Black". To me, it's the perfect song in a sea of awesome songs.

Uh , probably Motley Crue - ''Kickstart My Heart''.

<font color=goldenrod>I'd have to say probably Guns 'n Roses - Sweet Child O'Mine...the opening is legendary and I just really like the song lyrically as well.

Tough choice though.</font>

:y:

Baba O'Riley by The Who. It gives me goosebumps, and once brought tears to my eyes.

I have been thinking about this for a couple of days, and right now my answer would probably be 賢者のプロペラ. Nice melody, and it is all around a feel good song.

Spilly?

I cannot pick just one so here's my top 10 in no particular order and I could list a hundred but these are just a few

Placebo - Commercial For Levi
Boyzone - No Matter What
Oasis - Champagne Supernova
Deftones - Digital Bath
Rufus Wainwright - The Maker Makes
Linkin Park - Papercut
Michael Jackson - Don't Stop Til You Get Enough
Darren Hayes - Insatiable
Metallica - Sad But True
Adam Lambert - Mad World (Don't care what people think, This kid blew away the original version by Tears for Fears)

Skee Lo - "I Wish"

Not really, but this question cannot be answered.

Always play that song. I wish I was like 6 foot 9 so I could get with Leoshi cause she don't know me but yo she's really fine

Smells like Teen Spirit

Really grown on me lately

'I Think I'm Paranoid' by Garbage. First song I got into and the song that got me into music in general. Have listened to it thousands of times and have never gotten tired of it. I also have the symbol that was on the case for the single tattooed on my arm.

My top three songs of all time...

1. "Special" - Garbage
2. "High and Dry" - Radiohead
3. "Wake Up" - Three Days Grace

Brendan Benson - Sittin Pretty
The Beatles - Helter Skelter
Black Sabbath - Supernaut

those are my top 3 at the moment. it changes almost daily.

Impossible for me to answer such a question.

Incubus - Pardon Me

Or possibly Pearl Jam - Black

I am also really liking Jace Everett's Bad Things to You as its featured as the theme for True Blood

:shifty:

Machine Head - Imperium; without a doubt.

dude I was gonna post Brandy by Looking Glass. Songs incredible

I was skimming over before I posted. Unreal that someone beat me to it.


There are like 1,000 songs I prob would answer to this on various days but today I would answer that.
Me and a roomate discussed it once and decided that it was probably the best song ever

There are a lot of songs from that era that I qualify as "best songs ever"

80s too

Really tough choice. Asked the same thing a day from now I'd have a different answer. But right now, I'd go with "I Alone" by Live.

In the Aeroplane over the sea by Neutral Milk Hotel

Or

Wham city by Dan Deacon

or

Let Down By Radiohead
