your ONE fave song of ALL time

[Sir.S.C Remembered]

Bet this has been done to death infact I know it has as I'm sure I have started similar things in the past but not sure that there has ever been a thread where only one song can be mentioned. I find that even with youngsters like myself that older songs are always the pick for favourite song of all time. Mine must be (although I bet it will change):

Lionel Ritchie - Easy Like Sunday Morning

[Neil the Eagle]

Its called Easy by The Commodores...

[Twyford Bee]

Last Stop: This Town, by Eels.

[Sir.S.C Remembered]

Is it? thought it was after he left the Commodores? As Chris Tucker says in Rush Hour 2 "Lionel Ritchie aint been black since the Commodores!"

Whatever it is its very good and the Faith no more version is not a touch on the origional although his duo with that Lemarr off Fame academy was impressive despite me not being able to find it on Kazaa

[Jaffa]

Putting Out Fires by the Bluetones

[Neil the Eagle]

Faith no more's version was a truly lametable commercial sell out...

Name the recent song that used the sample of the afore mentioned Easy by the Commodores.........

[Stavros 69]

Marvin Gaye - Let's get it on.

But theres no way you can answer this question, it really depends what type of mood your in.

[New_Malden_Eagle]

Galveston by Gene Campbell

[jlmatthews]

Waaaay too many to choose just one for me...

Only joking....although it was at one time in my life!!

Cuddly Toy by Roachford

[Uncle Brod]

that has to be Hey Ma by Cam'ron featuring Juelz Santana.

[Gosling]

Peaches, by The Stranglers

[PENGE P]

Wonderful Life - Black

[Skin Up]

She bangs the drums-The Stone Roses

[Baloo]

This is an impossible question as my answer will change from day to day. Seeing Skin Up's response I am tempted to say I Am The Resurrection by the Roses, but I think I'll go with Patience by Guns n' Roses.

[curly c.p.f.c]

Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd

[philaire]

The Who - Won't get fooled again

[Eagle Kneevil]

Coney Island Baby - Lou Reed

Achingly beautiful

[Elephant with mouse gyp]

Today it's Four Stong Winds by Neil Young.

[Nelson Muntz]

Today mine is:

Is it like today? - World Party

[El Aguila]

Anything with sleigh bells on. "Now I Wanna Be your Dog" by the Stooges, for example.

[Cleon]

There are too many great songs to choose a favourite, and I will avoid the marvellous 'Power To The Palace' and 'Glad All Over' options.

It makes me feel dirty and shameful to admit that I might agree with Paul McCartney about the Beach Boys 'God Only Knows' being the best song of all time though.

[Gosling]

I've changed my mind.

The Wind Cries Mary, by Hendrix

[Bartman]

Lovely Day - Bill Withers

Behind Blue Eyes - The Who :p

[Captain Pizza]

Gimme Shelter - Rolling Stones

[Sir.S.C Remembered]

"All my life" for this morning, "Crazy" for this afternoon and "Tell me its real" for this evening. Aren't they brothers Kaci and jojo? And weren't they part of Jodeci? I only ask as there's not alot I or others seem to know about them but everyone seems to know of a few of their songs

[Richard]

Rockin' All Over the World - Status Quo.

[as216]

An impossible question I reckon.

Yes they were, along with 2 people who seem to have vanished. One called Dalvin, and one called DeVante. As for brothers, yes they are.. Cedric (K Ci) and Joel (Jo-Jo) Hailey.

Who by ?

[Lambeth Palace]

Changes from one day to the next but,...

Montana Orchestra - Heavy Vibes (Philly Sound Works 1982)

Vince Montana Jnr at his very best. The Paul Simpson produced remix has to be one of my all time favourite records.

[Scroatey]

Raindrops Keep Falling My Head - Manic Street Preachers

...makes me cry!

[Boycey]

Faithless - Insomnia

I know I may get slated as its a dance tune and not a typical all time fave but I just love it! The break gets me every time!

" I only smoke weed when I need to.......

[hilairehair]

It changes every day for me but today it's "Be My Baby" by the Ronettes.

[wedgetail]

This week it is 'Tales of Yankee power' by Bob Dylan but normally it is
'Why I like country music' by LLoyd Cole.

[zonin2000]

Easy.

Your Song - Elton John, as is most people's, because it's the best song ever written.


Honourable mentions to Belle and Sebastian - The model.

and another one I forget!

[AddiscombeEagle]

The day we caught the train by Ocean Colour Scene

[Thanet Eagle]

Thats Entertainment-The Jam

[greybot]

All depends what day it is and the mood I'm in but after seeing the thread title this one sprang to mind straight away:

Philosophy - Ben Folds Five

[2can]

Originally posted by AddiscombeEagle

I agree.

Was tempted to give it to another of their songs (The Circle) or Everlong by the Foo Fighters, but this one just edged it.

Surprised no one has come up with the predictable choice of Smells Like Teen Spirit?

[Sluggo]

One that invariably appears in my "Dessert Island Discs" selection is
Whole of the Moon by The Waterboys absolute class ... story of my life!


Anyway talking of Desset Island Discs one David Gilmore is on next Sunday, 6th April 11:15 ... after The Archers. I presume its the David Gilmore ....

[Benzhiyi]

So hard to choose... :(

gonna go with I Swear by All-4-One.

cheese! :)

Makes me feel dirty and shameful to admit to agreeing with you :(

But as a worthy runner up it would have to be 'Mr Bojangles' by Sammy Davies Junior.

[Sir.S.C Remembered]

Love that song!

[Fountainhead]

Originally posted by zonin2000

Your Song - Elton John, as is most people's...

......who have no taste.

As of right now probably Everything is sorrow by The Boo Radleys.

[Fountainhead]

or Hand in glove by The Smiths

[Fatman]

Judy in Disguse (with glasses) by John Fred and his playboy band

[Bartman]

This morning Lovely Day by Bill Withers, this afternoon Unfinished Sympathy - Massive Attack.

[Monkey Magic]

Surely Heroes and Villains is the superior Beach Boys number?

Such a tough question - I think my favourite must be a Beatles tune but I wouldn't know where to begin - they've written so many classics.

Therefore I will bottle it and vote for The Ballad of the Easy Rider by The Byrds.

Or should I go for Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay, Otis Reading?

[Baloo]

[Panther]

Dialogue with the Devil by Bruce Cockburn

[Monkey Magic]

Oops!

Badge by Cream

[El Aguila]

Well oddly enough, CharltonHater, I was going to say "Spanish Harlem" by Ben E. King.

An excellent choice.

One possible I've thought of is The End Of The World by Chris Cornell

[mikestock]

at the mo

basket case - green day

[ozzieEagle]

I'd say is more to do with associated memories. On that basis, its gotta be Bohemian rhaposdy, I still get adrenalin rushes thinking of those times when this song gets played.

Life changing memories associated include, (whilst this song was in the charts, 8 month time span i think)

Moving out of home for the 1st time, (from Milton keynes to auckland rise, south norwood, boy was i happy about that ;)

Having a fair dinkum girlfreind for the 1st time (courntey love lookalike with all the pro's and con's, boy did she show me life)

Getting arrested, (in the whitehorse lane end) with pretty serious charges twice in 6 weeks at Selhurst park, and somehow avoiding jail. After the 2nd event settled down, i only ever went to the football with female company and sat down. even with those precautions i still got "the urge" such was the drug like rush of confrontation.

Booking a holiday to Australia.

Yehp that song brings back memories

[MicksSis]

Many I could name, but I always come back to the same one first....Life of Mars..David Bowie

[philaire]

Not one repeat yet? (er, that's a comment, not a song)

[Misscheif]

REM - Everybody Hurts

[Ruskin Old Boy]

Not strictly a song - Pergolesi's Stabat Mater

A song - Respect / Otis Redding

[Monkey Magic]

Originally posted by E_girl

I sincerely hope this is a wind-up.

[Monkey Magic]

Having seen the TOT2 Beatles special last night I would like to change my vote to Day In The Life - absolutely incredible song. I don't think anything has ever come close to it in all these years, and when you think about when it was written -even more incredible.

[markholmes1991]

Sinead O'Connor - Nothing compares to you,

[Psychokiller]

I can't pick just one!

This hour I guess it's Quicksand by David Bowie!

There just ain't enough Ben Folds on the Palace tannoy for my liking.

I think, given recent performances, "Best Imitation of Myself" would go down a treat.

As for top song ever, can only be:

"Remember What It Is That You Love" by The Family Cat

[Monkey Magic]

Can't really pick an all time favourite track as there are too many.

[Isle of Wight]

Smells Like Teen Spirit.

[El Aguila]

Originally posted by Leicester Eagle

Eh?
Leicester, Poughkeepsie?
Anyway I've changed my mind, it's "Jesus" by the Velvet Underground.

[Leicester Eagle]

I was told they were from Leicester, UK. However, this information could well be complete rubbish, so i'll defer to you on this.

Ps. Love your avatar Fide et Fiducia, big Wasps fan myself.

[El Aguila]

They're from New York State, but I like a challenge and I promise to come up with a great song from Leicester if you give me a while!

No lists of songs, no "I've Changed my Mind" stuff, no "it depends what mood you're in" baloney - and no judgement on whether it's better than something else or the best by that artist or whether there's lots of versions or......fer Chrissake this is doin' me head in.....

My fave song of all time.....is.......

[Adrian]

It Might as Well Rain until September by Carole King (1962).
