What's your favorite song?

Too many songs could fit the bill - yet, one track that never grows old to me. (Reminds me of many friends passed)

 

Currently - Gentle Giant's "Funny Ways"



All time - Sparks' "Never Turn Your Back on Mother Earth"

 

There are so many songs that I really like and could easily be my most favorite song, but I think that "Hoppipolla" by Sigur Ros (2004, Genre: Post-Rock/Alternative Rock) takes it for me. By the way, the language that the lyrics of this song are in is Icelandic

This song was very well made, it's really good and somewhat of a modern-classic. I also believe it was a one-hit wonder in the U.K.?

 

Bob Dylan's It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)

 

The dBs Change with the Changing Times

 

Guns n' Roses- Estranged

 

Right this minute, I'll say The Blues Project - Cheryl's Going Home
with Nazz - If That's The Way You Feel a close second.

 

Cheap Trick - On Top of the World

 

Tossup between "Someone To Watch Over Me" and "Blues in the Night"

Rosemary Clooney does a great job with both of them.

 

I dunno, it changes day to day, but Where Do You Go by Cher is never far from the top:

 

The best I can do is one of my favorites.

 

God Only Knows was the first song that leapt to mind when I saw this thread. This could change another day, but GOK is certainly in my all-time top 5 so I'll rank it #1 today.

 

"Le plus beau voyage" - Claude Gauthier

 

Neil Young: Don't Let It Bring You Down

 

Favorite song?? Are you serious? My favorite genre changes daily.

 

Depending on my mood:
For No One
Strawberry Fields Forever
Tomorrow Never Knows
Eleanor Rigby

 

Stones - Gimmie Shelter

 

Sometime in the early 70s, I was first asked this question, and I couldn't decide between the following:

In My Life
California Dreamin
Smile a little Smile for Me
Wild World

And I still haven't decided

 

Pink Floyd - Us And Them

 

"Dalliance"- The Wedding Present or "Corduroy"- Pearl Jam or "Big School"- Guided by Voices

If the thread police forced me to pick one, I'd probably go with "Dalliance."

 

Jimmy Webb
The Moon's A Harsh Mistress
1977 version on the El Mirage album,
as produced, arranged and conducted by
(Sir) George Martin.

 

the first one of a million that came to mind:



dress rehearsal rag
Leonard Cohen

 

Have you ever heard the version / arrangement by jazz drummer John Hollenbeck. It's nearly 15 minutes long and it takes it far afield but he also respects Webb's vision. It's on his album Songs I Like A Lot.
