Scorpions - Time. Great shower song.

If I'm taking a loooong shower, it could be Gordon Lightfoot's Canadian Railroad Trilogy, or Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, but I wouldn't call them favorite songs. Favorite shower songs, sure. Although there's one passage in Edmund that gets me every time.

Love this thread. That's a tough question though, it depends on the mood.

Midnight Rider...Allman Brothers ( the intro riff just screams "let's go to the river and drink a beer and smoke something!")
By Your Side....Sade
Seven Bridges Road....The Eagles
Don't You Forget About Me...Simple Minds
Why...Annie Lennox (I may be mad, I may be blind)
Prince of Darkness....Indigo Girls
At Last...Etta James
The Way You Look Tonight...I like the Tony Bennett version
