Your Favourite Songs (Period)

[Flat Matt]

This is ridiculous.

I can't believe I forgot Pretty Vacant by The Sex Pistols either!

Oh, and God knows how many Motown songs as well!

I keep thinking of lots of others too...
Music is so.... (everything?) precious!

The Who - Love (Reign O'er Me)

The Outlaws - Green Grass and High Tides

Any version of Ghost Riders in the Sky that is faithful to the original

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here, Comfortably Numb, Great Gig In The Sky, One Of These Days

Dan Fogelberg - Missing You

Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower, Little Wing

U2 - Bad

Earth Wind & Fire - Fantasy

Santana - Soul Sacrifice (at Woodstock), Europa (live version, Osaka), Jungle Strut

I'm sure there are plenty others.

I know, I've got great songs popping into my head every thirty seconds here!

I don't know where we would be without music.

It's nice to see so much love for Hurt by Johnny Cash on here. I love his version; really powerful.

Have you seen the video? It's heartbreaking. And beautiful. And heartbreaking.

I cannot pick favorite songs. I can only pick "songs I love that come to mind right at this mo— oh look, a squirrel" songs. So, a few songs I love. (Also, I'm not an aggressive music consumer. I sort of absorb songs that float my way ... like an amoeba.)

"In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" - Avett Brothers
"Kid Fears" and "Love's Recovery" (and indeed the entire eponymous album) - Indigo Girls
"In Your Eyes" - Peter Gabriel
"Hallelujah" - Jeff Buckley
"Eleanor Rigby" - The Beatles
"Into My Arms" - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
"Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show" - Neil Diamond
"You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive" - Patty Loveless
"Say Hey" - Michael Franti
"Sweet Pea" - Amos Lee

Tons more, of course. Those just come to mind right this second.

 

[Todash]

Oh. OH. "The Bed Song" by Amanda Palmer. In case you need your heart to completely break in two.

I could squeeze you for mentioning Amos Lee! Usually when I mention him I get a blank stare. LOVE his music-Arms of a Woman would definitely go on my longer list, as would Soul Suckers.

That's it. I'm adopting you as my spirit animal--Amanda Palmer and Michael Franti are two I love as well

 

[AchtungBaby]

I love the "Rain Down" section, too beautiful for words.

As a matter of interest, what do you think of Kid A (I love that album) ?

This song is simply amazing:

I think Kid A is a fabulous album, although OK Computer is my favorite.

I forgot Van. Into The Mystic is a good one and I love Wild Night and Dweller On The Threshold too.

Oh, yes!! Definitely "Arms of a Woman."

 

[skimom2]

I forgot Van. Into The Mystic is a good one and I love Wild Night and Dweller On The Threshold too.

I could include whole albums of Van--lol. He's a force of nature. I also didn't include and Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, Ben Lee, KT Tunstall... *sigh* And then there's all the Motown, and Americana, and soul, and blues (ELMORE JAMES! STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN! JIMMIE VAUGHAN! Jonny Lang! Howlin' Wolf!)...
