What is your Favorite song? Please list who sings it & why you like it!
Thanks!

Jealous Guy - John Lennon - Sheer Brilliance

Karma Police - Radiohead - Lyrical mastery combined with excellently appropriate music

Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen - It is a masterpiece, a modern classic

Hey Jude - Beatles - I don't know

Barbie Girl - Aqua - just kidding

Jags

My 3 favorite songs are: Somewhere in the Night, from the 40's movie musical Moon Over Miami, Let's Get Lost, from Happy Go Lovely, and Here's that Rainy Day, from a forgotten 50' stage musical, Carnival in Flanders. tjoe};>

Happiness is a warm gun-the beatles...just a classic\

my wild love-the doors...best doors tune in my mind

crazy love-van morrison...he is just amazing and puts his soul in this song

Somebody to love-Queen...Freddie tells a story in every song...this is the best story I think

I like Eyeball's picks, especially "happiness is a warm gun"--nice combo of pop sound and disturbing lyrics. Truly an artistic pop song.

Best UNKNOWN SONGS:

"Waiting for the Sun"--the Jayhawks

"Boys Will be Boys"--the Geardaddies

"Butterfly"--Mason Jennings

"Rocket Ship"--Dylan Hicks

and just so they are not all Minnesotan:

"A New Used Car and a Plate of Barbeque"--Jack Logan

and just so they are not all American, and not from the last 10 years:

"London Calling"--the Clash

You need to be quiet more often.

New one:

Richard Buckner's "The Hill", which is technically an entire album, but it's only one track on the CD.

It's all poems for Edgar Lee Master's "Spoon River Anthology" and it's effin Brilliant.

MY FAVORITE SONGS ARE:

YESTERDAY------THE BEATHES
QUISIERA SER ------ALEJANDRO SANZ
THE SONG OF THE BODYGUARD------WHITNEY HOUSTON(I DON´T REMEMBER THE NAME)
IMAGINE-----------JHON LENNON.

IT´S A GREAT QUESTION!!!!!

olatopo, the song from BodyGuard that you're thinking of is probably "I Will Always Love You." However, that will, forever in my own mind, be Dolly Parton's alone! It's really her song, and I've always thought her original version topped Houston's version! Just my own opinion!

Originalcallie, that "American Pie" song is good! I also found a very funny thread in Jokes and Humor titled "AOL Pie". Something worth searching for. You all have great choices. Thanks for saying that this is a great question.

"Two Points for Honesty" by Guster -- what can I say, it's my anthem
"Eleanor Rigby" by the Beatles
Pachelbel's Canon in D -- not really a "song" but it rocks

Here are a few of my favorites....
Living Sacrifice - Presence of God
David Bowie - The Man Who Sold The World
U2 - Lemon
Pink Floyd - Money
Nirvana - Pennyroyal Tea

[ 04-22-2001: Message edited by: TSA1400 ]

Get it Together by the Beastie Boys just because
A heart full of Love From Les Miserables--Could a song be more beautiful?
Limp Bizkit's Break Stuff because I usually do feel that way (ha ha ha?)
In all reality I have about a Dozen more, but...favorite is a hard choice

I have to add something to my list:

This is actually an entire cd, it literally blew me away.

"Infinite Possibilities" by Amel Larrieux

I didn't know anything about this person til about 3 days ago, but I swear her work is genius. I can't classify her sound..it has some pop, some r&b, some Native American influence, some blues, some gospel..etc. It is amazing, her lyrics are stunning and heart wrenching, at times. If I had to pick a favorite song on the cd it would be "Sweet Misery". I HIGHLY recommend this cd.

Can ya tell I like it???

You cannot have a battle of wits with an unarmed person.

jags2000, have you heard the cover of Jealous Guy on the album pop artificielle? It happenes to be my ex-boyfriend and mine's song; wierd, huh? Maybe, but it's definitely better than the original.

"I'm nobody's Tonto."

I forgot to explain why "All I Need" is my favorite song. Has been for the past 2 years. Given that I live in perpetual greyness, it's rare that I find something that gives me hope. Even though (or because of?) I feel melancholy listening to it, this song lifts me from the gulch of cliches I find suffocating me. Here are the lyrics:

AIR
"ALL I NEED"

All I need is a little time
To get behind this sun and cast my weight
All I need's a peace of this mind
Then I can celebrate

All in all there's something to give
All in all there's something to do
All in all there's something to live
With you...

All I need's a little sign
To get behind this sun and cast this weight
All I need's the place to find
And there I'll celebrate

All in all there's something to give
All in all there's something to do
All in all there's something to live
With you...

"I'm nobody's Tonto."

hey, great question! ok my fav songs are:

"What's my age again?" - Blink 182 -it's a great song!!
"Stan" - Eminem - I luv that song & him!!!
"My everything" - 98 degrees - it is 1 of the sweetest songs I've ever heard.
"Where You Are" - Jessica Simpson w/Nick Lachey - my fav love song, it is sooooooooooooooooo sweet, I LOVE IT!!
"Tonight" - West Side Story - i love that song, & that musical!!!!!!!
"Memories" - Cats - i don't know y, but i just like it

I find that "Favourite Song" is a very much a dynamic concept, changing constantly so I'll say that my favourite song right now is "Idioteque" by Radiohead off their latest KidA....

Oh, Wrennaz just noticed that one your favs listed is

"Elegantly Wasted" INXS - Elegantly Wasted

..I used to think that was a fitting song but not after the events at the Carlton hotel on that fateful morning....you can call it many things, but elegant ain't one...

OriginalCallie...REO Speedwagon?...I can assure you that I have nothing to admit to myself regarding them ....sure I do from time to time have to remind myself that there was a period in musical history where bands like REO did not only exist but were played on the radio...but my doctor has advised me against it...I mean of all the songs available to choose from...still art is subjective and I'm sure that their particular sound has appeal....to the deaf...that taste operation is not too expensive OC...maybe we can get a Appeal going to raise the funds..yeah I'm sure we'll get the $ required..."Please help this unfortunate gal so that she is able to enjoy music like the rest of us...stop this tragic liking of REO Speedwagon"...we'd raise thousands...lol...just keepin ya busy..cya

Why is he haunted by rumours of auto-erotic asphyxiation?

"I'm nobody's Tonto."

wrennaz said,

>karma,
>Why is he haunted by rumours of auto-erotic asphyxiation?

Because he was found, from my understanding, hanging from a door with a belt around his neck. Not the typical way to hang yourself. I believe he was also nude, which probably fuels this story/myth/reality (choose which one you prefer).

np: Lassigue Bendthaus - Render
