What is your favorite song of all time?
Mine would probably have to be "Stairway To Heaven by "Led Zeppelin.

That's a really hard one. I have several favourites.
"Don't Cry Out Loud" I think it's by Peter Allen, correct me if I'm wrong
"Holy Grail" Hunters and Collectors
and "Forever Young" apparently by someone else but the only version I know is the Youth Group one. It is really beautiful.

Yea "Forever Young" is a really nice song but it was originally sung by Alphaville I think.

Ok, I need to add to that list "Two Little Boys" by Ted Egar

okay, you said fave songs....


1. Stairway To Heaven ~ Led Zeppelin

5. Stand Back ~ Stevie Nicks

6. Fade Into You ~ Mazzy Starr

7. What's Up ~ Four Non Blondes

8. I Can't Drive 55 ~ Sammy Hagar

Burn-Usher
Poetry-Danity Kane
Since Youve Been Gone- Day 26
Tie My Hands- Lil Wayne

i got more but cant think of them at the moment...

"Copperhead Road" and "The Rain Came Down" by Steve Earle. Ranked first and second.

My fav song is "Somewhere in the Night" by Mack Gordon and Josef Myrow, from the 1946 movie musical "Three Little Girls in Blue". It was used as the theme of the 50's TV series "Naked City", and Carly Simon gave a soulful rendition of it on her "Film Noir" CD.

Other faves of mine include the Carmichael-Parrish classic "Star Dust", the Monk-Williams-Haenigan standard "Round Midnight", Ellington's "Azure" and "Sophisticated Lady", The Beatles' "Ticket to Ride", the Zombies' "Tell Her No" and the Steely Dan rocker "Josie".

Candle in the wind by Elton John

Don't speak by No doubt

and that's all I can think of at the minute

Way too many to list, without taking up a whole lot of space.

For me, it depends upon what mood I'm in.

I'm a huge Billy Joel fan, Phil Collins fan, Crowded House fan, Robert Palmer fan, Suzanne Vega fan, and 80's music fan. How do I choose some favourites from all those, let alone the others that I really enjoy?

Off the top of my head, here are a few (!) favourites:

"Sugar Walls" - Sheena Easton
"Blood Makes Noise" - Suzanne Vega
"99.9F" - Suzanne Vega
"Into Temptation" - Crowded House
"World Where You Live" - Crowded House
"Better Be Home Soon" - Crowded House
"Shoop Shoop Diddy Wop" - Monte Video
"Safety Dance" - Men Without Hats
"Johnny Be Good" - Men At Work
"Downunder" - Men At Work
"If You Leave Me" - Mental As Anything
"The Nips Are Getting Bigger" - Mental As Anything
"Mexican Radio" - Wall of Voodoo

I could go on, and on, and on. But I won't.

There are a lot of songs that I can list as favorite, but most are "favorite at the moment". The ones that have been on my fave list the longest:

Can't Help Falling In Love by Elvis Presley
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by Elton John
Don't Speak by No Doubt

10 Years Today- by Bullet For My Valentine!!!!! Listen to it. Deep meaning.....

breathless-dan wilson
bitter end-james d. stark
colorblind-diary of dreams
enjoy the silence-depeche mode
there is no if-the cure
life hates you-mono inc.
what if...-emilie autumn

and the list goes on and on...

For work at the moment I'm adding Voltaires' "The Last Word".

I've always had in my head my top 5:

1. Space Oddity - David Bowie
2. Angie - Rolling Stones
3. Wildflower - Skylark
4. Whiter Shade of Pale - Procol Harum
5. Nights in White Satin - Moody Blues

But this only includes my really old favorites. I'd also add a whole bunch more Bowie songs, Tracy Chapman's first album and a lot of Bruce Springsteen. Newer favorites would include:

"Someday You Will Be Loved" and "I Will Follow You Into the Dark" by Death Cab For Cutie, Johnny Cash's version of "Hurt", Brett Dennen's "Ain't No Reason." Many many more.

Toughie.
