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:
