I know there’s more I want to add but I cant think of them just now.

A slightly broad taste in music I know but hey, that’s me

Don’t have a favorite song. Can’t really limit myself. Recent obsessions have been refused and international noise conspiracy. Two of the most amazing bands lyrically and also musically.

I saw the international noise conspiracy the other day and I was totally blown away. I’ve never seen a better live show…

I don’t know how many of you will bother to read that whole list, but it pretty much covers the best songs there have ever been. Why? Because I said so.

:smiley:

i don’t think lose yourself could be deemed one of the best songs of all time. i reckon it’s going to be like the rest of the eminem stuff - it sounds good for a few months but you get tired of if fairly quickly. good to see someone mentioned blondie though.

true… eminem isnt really that special is he, just pumps out the occasinol song thats classic for 6 months (can anyone still listen to stan without changin track half way through) Jeff buckley is the legend and nobody can deny. Anyone heard colour blind by counting crows? tune

True, I currently refuse tolisten to lose yourself so I’m gonna take it off the list. I like toxicity by system of a down, but give it 6 months and I might not! Some of Jakattas songs off visions are pretty cool too. I only have them on MD so I dont have the track names

Ok, I am new here, amd thinking about the best songs ever is really hard. So many to pick from!. Here are the few I can think of right now:

Across thr Universe: The Beatles
Strawberry Fields Forever: The Beatles
Who Wants to Live Forever: Queen
Times They Are A-Changing: Bob Dylan
Don Mclean: American Pie
Piece of my Heart: Janis Joplin
Purple Haxe: Jimi Hendrix

Okay, here are some newer songs that I love:

Smooth: Santana
I feel so: Boxcar Racer
Get Free: The Vines

I am finished, I can’t think any more! :wink:

-Christy

don maclean - american pie

That has to be one of the top 10 of all time

im with cba have no favorites because im a very impulsive person and to be honest i get bored easily. however, i can name favorite genres:

punk (political i.e. pennywise- also hardcore i.e. sick of it all)
psychadelic music (i.e. “mellow yellow”)
ska (i.e. fun boy three)

these are my favorites though i can listen to just about anything but pop.

I haven’t got one fave song… so here it goes the ones that are really fantastic that i can remember at this very moment…

PS by James
On A Tip by Halo Benders
Ain’t that Enough by Teenage Fanclub
La Tristesse Durera by Manic Street Preachers
Police and Thieves by The Clash (is a cover tho)

in no particular order

My favs are:

Metallica - Nothing Else Matters (live)
Metallica - Unforgiven II
The Eagles - Hotel California
Deep Purple - Soldier Of Fortune
Nirvana - The Man Who Sold The World
Sublime - Superstar
Status Quo - In The Army Now
Queen - We Are The Champions
Santana - Dirty Dancing
Bad Religion - You
Bob Marley & The Wailers - Three Little Birds
Bon Jovi - It’s My Life
Scorpions - A Moment In A Million Years
The Rasmus - Madness
Eric Clapton - Guitar Solo
and many many more :slight_smile:

My favourites atm:

The Stranglers- Nice ‘n’ Sleazy (of course :smiley:)
Skinny Puppy- Tormentor’s Song
The Faint- Agenda Suicide
The Cure- Pornography
Magazine- Because You’re Frightened
Joy Division- Colony
The Normal- Warm Leatherette

Loads more obviously, but they were the ones that sprang to mind. I’m not in a particularly cheerful mood atm in case you were wondering…

SP’s pre-Rabies period is very overated imho. But Worlock is definatly one of my favourites.

I think their earliest work was more consistent and accessible, but their mid-era stuff was best. VIVIsectVI was about the right combination of noise and experimentation with their earlier synthpop style for my taste.

Foo Fighter’s- “Everlong”

I have never tired of listening to this song. One of the first songs I learned how to play on the guitar; still one of my favorites to play.

“So Lonely”- The Police. It makes me wish I could hit the high notes (or any note for that matter). Great song. I think what I like about this song so much is that it is so versatile; I can listen to it when I’m sad, upset, lonely (of course) and even happy. I think the same applies for “Everlong”.

I’ll have to disagree. Personally I think the later stuff was better, especially TDP and Last Rites. Are you familar with Gridlock? In a similar vein to SP but alot more electronic.

Afraid not, I’m fairly new to industrial.

Some of my favourite songs:
Ministry - The Land of Rape and Honey
Ministry - So What
KMFDM - Meglomanic
SNOG - Human Germ
Dead Kennedys - Holiday in Cambodia
Napalm Death - Scum
Swans - In the Eyes of Nature
Autechre - Surripere
Gridlock - Voiceless
