What's your favorite SONG?

The Dark Wolf · 09-10-2005, 05:00 AM

Ok, what's your favorite all-time song? I mean, think outside of the box, too. It might not be rock/metal, even. Could be a lullaby. I'll start out, as an example (and BTW, trying to pin down ONE song is pretty tough, so feel free to list a few to get you in the ballpark. For me, I can't pick ONE, although I'll list what I guess could be the top, and then a few more that are right in there, maybe tops on any given day) So maybe, favorite five songs, which any ONE could be the most favorite?

1. 'Purple Rain', Prince
2. 'The Christmas Song' (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire), Nat 'King' Cole
3. 'Rhapsody On a Theme of Paganini' ('Somewhere In Time' song), Sergei Rachmaninoff
4. 'Kashmir', Led Zeppelin
5. 'Amazing Grace', John Newton (Esp. bagpipe versions. Chills)

What about you?

Tie between "Scarred" & "Change of Seasons" by Dream Theater.

Everything else is secondary.

Can't say for sure. But some of the songs that I have really really liked for a long time are:

Bauhaus - In The Flat Field
X Japan - Scars
At The Drive In - One Armed Scissor
AFI - The Prayer Position
Nirvana - Milk It

I'm kinda with you here. Awake is definitely my desert island disc. I always knew you and I were on the same page with that.

if I was to limit it to one, I'd probably have to say "Sympathy for the Devil" by the Stones. I'm tempted to give a few honorable mentions, but it'd be a LONG list, so for the time being I'll merely say that I don't hate one hit wonders sheerly for Spacehog's "In the Meantime" - that song is soo good that it doesn't matter that the rest of the CD (and every one that followed, loL) is absolute crap.

Hm...Tough call.. but..
Testament - Electric Crown (All opinions are subject to change ;p)

D, I knew you'd have something a little left-of-center. Good choice. Do you like the G n R cover?

I have been racking my brain for a good hour now. There is just no way for me to choose my all-time favorite songs. There's just too many.

Now, if we're talking full albums, that's easy.

My fiance asked me this question last night, and I was the same way.

I guess the best way to look at it Shannon, is if you can't come up with one, pick a few MIGHT BE potentials. After all, it's just something interesting for us to share, so if it isn't 100 million percent accurate, well... I won't tell :lol

Ok, I'll try to come up with something later tonight. But for now, it's time to get ready and head off to Gigantour today!
