What is your favorite song of all time?

[Flame Gryphon]

What is it? My favorites are: Headstrong, Fallen, This is Your Life, and almost every beatles, and queen song.

[Lord Pyre]

Probably the Finale from Symphony #5 in D minor, by Dmitri Shostakovich.


And I'm pretty sure this has been done numerous times already. ;)

[Einar's puppy]

Ooooo, tough one. I'll be back in a moment.


EDIT: Here it is!
Viva la Vida- Coldplay, it has a great rythm in the background, it's catchy, and the lyrics are very cool
Violet Hill- Coldplay, it's just done beutifully. Everything was executed great.
Teddy Picker- Arctic Mokeys, great lyrics, and a very cool bit of music behind it.
From the Ritz to the Rubble- Arctic Mokeys, the quick lyrics are cool, and the drums and guitar are simply excellent.
Balaclava- Arctic Mokeys, just listen to it. You'll see what I mean.
I will follow you into the dark- Death Cab for Cutie, I like me acustics. And the lyrics are very cool.
I will posses your heart- DCfC, it starts with just music, but it is very unpredictable, and does not get stale at all, but then the lyrics meld perfectly with the music.
New Slang- the Shins, it's very cool with it's fast lyrics and mellow beet.
Hey there Delialah- plain white T's, I liked it before it was popular. Like I said, I like me acustics.
Iris- Goo Goo Dolls, it's such a powerful song, and I love it. The really great thing about it is that I don't even own it, but I still love it.
Crazy little thing called love- Queen, I like how popy it is, but it doesn't over do it, and it's got a bit of rock elements in it.
Oh My god- Kaiser Cheifs, the music is very low, but the lyrics have punctuation, and the words themselvs are cool.
Dream on- Aerosmith, it's awesome. It combines softer parts at the begginging, to rock at the end. It's not heavy metal, but he gets a little crazy singing it at the end.
Creepy Doll- Johnathan Coulton, youtube it, it's awesome. He combines humour with wordiness (which I love) in all of his songs, and he does it very well. "When you fix a a snack the doll says it'd like one too."

Jesus love me but he can't stand you. 8)

I don't know about favorite, but one song that always comes to my mind whenever this kind of thing is brought up is Muzzle, by the Pumpkins. For some reason it really gets me charged up.

[johnny139]

Hmm... Somewhere Only We Know by Keane is probably up there. And Billy Joel songs in general, if I may cheat... Only the Good Die Young is probably near the top of that list, though.

[Zelrig]

I'm gonna date myself but,...
Don't Stop Believin' by Journey

Graet song I agree with you, I also agree with "Viva La Vida", but numero uno would have to be a classic...
Hotel California- The Eagles

Watch this to see what I mean.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcwr1nbmWLI

Bohemian Rhapsady- Queen, is also very good.

[Agent Minivann]

Eric Johnson - Cliffs of Dover
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55nAwmVLQSk
This is the studio version, but it doesn't have video of him actually playing it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoaS38-vb6s
This is him playing the song in the eighties on the PBS show Austin City Limits. He improvises when he plays live.

[nyys]

[LongHeroscaper]

Many, but one of them is "All by myself ."
If it is music/remix/arrangement, it must be this version (http://virt.vgmix.com/music/arrange/v-contra.mp3) of Contra, the console game 8). Remember to listen to it with boosted bass.

[Paladin]

My all time favorite song is "A Kind of Magic" by Queen.

My favorite band. But not too popular here. I dare say- underrated!

[Jandarforever]

One of my other all time favorites is the Star Spangled Banner! How could I forget!:duh:

[Onacara]

My favorite song is...

"I Started A Thread Called What Is Your Favorite Song Of All Time and Gave 100+ Different Songs As My Favorite" by Flame Gryphon and the Vagues


:wink:

[Joah]

I'm not really sure. It's probably a Stones song though. "Moonlight Mile" perhaps?

[Pumpkin_King]

Oh, as you can see, I go back and forth,
That's right! Side to side,
Back and forth, back and forth, back and,
Side to side.
Oh, let's start advertisin',
And make some real money!

Listen to me, Listen to me,
My children!
Listen to me, Listen to me, Listen, children,

Gather around, hear the sound of my voice,
There's girls and boys, well,
You're makin' a choice!
You can think for yourselves,
or you can buy all my toys,
Disregard mental health,
Jump around, make some noise!

I’d never lie to you
You know I’d die for you
Yeah, I love you too
So just do what you do,
Consume and gobble it up
Come on, show me some love
Or I’ll be blowin you up!

I’m lying through my teeth
To get everything I need
I’ll be what you want me to be
That’s why I’m dancin’ dancin’

Back and forth, Back and forth, Back and forth
Side to side

See me!
Stare into my eyes you’re getting sleepy

Feed me!
And then I’ll feed the hungry and the needy

TV
Is the loving eye of education

Free me
I’ll drag a burning smile across this nation!

Back and forth, Back and forth, Back and forth
Side to side!

I control you!

Back and forth, Back and forth, Back and forth
Side to side!

Listen to me
Listen to me, my children
Listen to me
Listen to me
Listen children






A million internets to anyone who's actually heard that song.

Noted... I have changed my post to reflect my original intentions of sharing these songs with others.

[Einar Gen.]

Of ALL TIME? *Groan*... Absolutely impossible! Well, maybe not...

1. "Anna Molly" by Incubus. The only song I can call my all time favorite. Just overall great. Lyrics, guitar, everything.

"La Grange" by ZZ Top. Awesome guitar!

"Youth Gone Wild" by Skid Row. Just a great rock song...

"China Grove" by the Doobie Brothers. Really cool combo of guitar and Piano.

"A Kiss to Send Us Off" by Incubus. Really different, but awesome.

"Jessie's Girl" by Rick Springfield. Really cool classic song.

And any thing by Incubus! I could go on...

This is kinda funny... I went to a banquet at a restaurant earlier in the year, and in the bar room that song played not once, but TWICE during the night.

My brother got a kick out of it. I just knew that there are some people in this world who actually like his music. ;)

My post was not just about Rick Astley, man, it was also about Barbie Girl and Enter Sandman, and how strange they sound in the vids. I should have just left that song out because now the only related posts I'm gonna see now are gonna be about Rick Astley and not about what others opinions are about these G Major songs.

[LeChevalierdeBalibari]

Yesterday...8)

[Einar's puppy]

Alright, I had a huge list, and now I've been narrowing it down. What's left is Come together-Joe Cocker (a cover of the Beatles)
I am the Walrus-Bono (a cover of the beatles)
and Where soul meets body-Death Cab for cutie

[Wike the Great]

Let's see. Hmmm. I'd have to say, Heroes of our Time by Dragonforce. I just think its a crazy song. If I gave a list of my top favorite songs, probably every single one of 'em would be Dragonforce songs. :headbang::headbang: and a thousand times more :headbang:

Your favorites that you posted.

[Wike the Great]

I only put one & said that all my favorites are probably Dragonforce, but okay. Its from their recent CD Ultra Beatdown, some people, I would guess, would only know about Through the Fire & Flames because its on Guitar Hero 3. I went a step further & bought their CDs.

[gorthan313]

A lot of my favorites are also songs by Mercy Me:

Time Has come by Mercy Me
I can only Imagine by Mercy Me
Who am I by Casting Crowns
Meant to live by Switchfoot


These are only a few, as there are really so many that I couldn't name all of them.

[hexplex?]

Their name is Dragonforce?!?!… I picture them strumming loots, and blowing whistles at a Society for Creative Anachronism fair. The "Ultra Beatdown" happens when all the knights have left and some local thugs want their basketball court back. :p

Those are really nice songs. I like the song "So Long Self" by MercyMe and quite a few by Casting Crowns. Casting Crowns's songs are so meaningful and powerful. "Meant To Live" by Switchfoot--what can I say other than:rock:.

[scottishlad5]

"Take on me"-A-ha, the best 80's funk song ever!

[braveheart101]

"Take on me"-A-ha, the best 80's funk song ever!

I changed my avatar to bill murray, this picture makes him look so majestic, he's like"Your fired!", wait wrong person.....

[NecroBlade]

Let me guess...you're 15?I guess that makes me 15, too. :roll:

I love DragonForce. I don't care about any technical stuff; I can really get into their ridiculously fast beats. That and they're just so damn cheesy and they don't care - and neither do I. :headbang:

some people, I would guess, would only know about Through the Fire & Flames because its on Guitar Hero 3.I know what you mean. Anarchy Club is another band (well, it's 2 guys) that most people probably only know because of Guitar Hero (Behind the Mask and one other). Which is good exposure for them, but they deserve more recognition than that. With the exception of 3 tracks which aren't really songs (but still fun listens) their entire 15-track CD is excellent. Anarchy Club has to be overall my favorite band.

I couldn't name just one favorite song, though. There are too many good ones out there. Heck, I couldn't even name my favorite Anarchy Club song.

It's not that they do not appeal to people of my age as much as we do not view that type of music as being "the best ever"...we grew up with bands like Iron Maiden and Metallica before the sold out so we tend to look at music a bit differently when it comes to metal.

Plain chants (Or sometimes referred to as Gregorian chants) were invented LOOOONG before organs were. And organs were usually used with madrigals, I believe. Plain chants didn't use organs because at that time the church found it offensive to have musical instruments during a service.


Okay I'll stop now...

[Codeman]

Ok, you didn't say good song you said favorite. So if it doesn't have to be a good song... I will say " Wolf Creek Pass " that always put a smile on my face. It's kind of a stupid song, but visually in my mind I think it's funny and I've alway liked it.

[Onacara]

For you Codeman

fKGn1lDkR00

[Pumpkin_King]

My current favorite song is Balrog Boogie, by the Diable Swing Orchestra. Metal and SWing, in one Latin-speaking bundle.

[Richard]

For some reason I can't get enough of this song lately, so I guess it qualifies:Dschinghis Khan- Moskau (http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=BQAKRw6mToA).

Hey thanks Onacara - I have not hear that in years ( decades ) :D.

Fact 3: Guitar Hero wins.

No I won't. I'd chicken out at the last minute.

It is the greatest song ever written. And it does make me think of the Venture Brothers, so, brownie points.

[Temprit]

I don't think I have one favorite, How about all of Boston and Foreigner?

[boom]

I don't think I have one favorite, How about all of Boston and Foreigner?

Any fan of some good, 'ol 70's rock is alright in my book.8)

[Menchy]

Contemporary song: Has to be Paper Planes by M.I.A., I have an undying love for anything she creates.

Older Song: Peace of Mind by Boston. Such a good song.

[smileydude560]

I can never pick just one, can I? Kind of like Lay's potato chips.

Defeat You: Smashmouth
Gel: Collective Soul
Go: Andy Hunter (Christian techno for the win!)
Rockn' me Baby: Steve Miller Band
Still Alive: Valve (from Portal)
Christmas at Ground Zero: Weird Al
Foreplay/Longtime: Boston
Enter Sandman: Metalica
Walk This Way: Aerosmith


Yeah, I have "interesting" tastes in music.

[hexplex?]

Favorite original composition used in a television ad, and the winner is…

McNuggets Lovin

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYRDSniLVZo

After a full day of watching football, I just can't stop singing it.

"Girl you got a ten piece, don't be stingy…"
I'm lovin it!

[Temprit]

Lately it's been a lot of ELO for me. With Mr. Blue Sky and Hold Tight. Even though just about all of their songs are great.

[scottishlad5]

For me right now its probably "Changes" by the best of Bowie.

[Archkyrie11]

Crazy Train ~ Ozzy Osbourne

I love Ozzy. Greatest

[Redeadifier]

No question:

Incense and Peppermints - Strawberry Alarm Clock

Although now that I really think about it, Dreadlock Holiday by 10cc is pretty close

[PlasmaScaper 2.0]

Has to probably be "Everlong" by the Foo Fighters.

[starsandstripes]

Impossible to narrow it down to one song but some of my all time favorites would be:

Because it's good music. My list of favorite songs has changed somewhat since I posted this, but it's still mainly Christian artists. It's nice to listen to music that has positive messages and clean language (that's not to say I don't like other kinds of music though).

Bannister
No, just not all Christian music. When I say other types of music, I mainly mean non Christian music. Even with secular artists though, I try to get songs that don't send messages filled with hate, bad language, etc. The song "Indestructible" by Disturbed is a good example.

[Einar's puppy]

Viva la Vida- Coldplay, it has a great rythm in the background, it's catchy, and the lyrics are very cool (it's just too poppy. They made it to make money, not music.)
Violet Hill- Coldplay, it's just done beutifully. Everything was executed great. (I still like this one)
Teddy Picker- Arctic Mokeys, great lyrics, and a very cool bit of music behind it. (still think this is a great song)
From the Ritz to the Rubble- Arctic Mokeys, the quick lyrics are cool, and the drums and guitar are simply excellent. (After about the thirtieth listen to, I still love this song)
Balaclava- Arctic Mokeys, just listen to it. You'll see what I mean. (really, listen to this song)
I will follow you into the dark- Death Cab for Cutie, I like me some acustics. And the lyrics are very cool. (I listen to this often)
I will posses your heart- DCfC, it starts with just music, but it is very unpredictable, and does not get stale at all, but then the lyrics meld perfectly with the music. (best song by a great band)
New Slang- the Shins, it's very cool with it's fast lyrics and mellow beet. (I haven't listened to it in weeks, but it is stuck in my head anyway. Great song)
Hey there Delialah- plain white T's, I liked it before it was popular. Like I said, I like me acustics (I got bored with it)
Iris- Goo Goo Dolls, it's such a powerful song, and I love it. The really great thing about it is that I don't even own it, but I still love it. (story of my life!)
Crazy little thing called love- Queen, I like how popy it is, but it doesn't over do it, and it's got a bit of rock elements in it. (I'm getting sick of pop music, but Queen is still the king)
Oh My god- Kaiser Cheifs, the music is very low, but the lyrics have punctuation, and the words themselvs are cool. (the Kaiser chiefs are declining in my mind, but this song is still awesome.
Dream on- Aerosmith, it's awesome. It combines softer parts at the begginging, torockat the end. It's not heavy metal, but he gets a little crazy singing it at the end. (one of my favorite songs)
Creepy Doll- Johnathan Coulton, youtube it, it's awesome. He combines humour with wordiness (which I love) in all of his songs, and he does it very well. "When you fix a a snack the doll says it'd like one too." (WATCH THIS! It's so awesome!)

That was my list in September. I added new comments in bold, and I crossed out songs I no loner like. I also crossed out the reasons I used to like some songs. Now, I am going to add a few songs to this list.


Carolina Drama- the Raconteurs. It is a great narrative piece
Solute your Solution-the Raconteurs. I have no idea what he's saying, but I like it!
Dark Blue- Jack's Mannquin. The lyrics are great
Club Foot-Kasabian. Awesome instrumentals
Stair Way to Heaven-Led Zepplin. It's Led Zepplin! What else do I need to say?
Seven Nation Army-the White Stripes. bum, bumbum ba ba bum...bumIt's interesting how the music I like now is turning more towards rock than the pop it brushed against then. Amazing what a few months can do.

Because it's good music. My list of favorite songs has changed somewhat since I posted this, but it's still mainly Christian artists. It's nice to listen to music that has positive messages and clean language (that's not to say I don't like other kinds of music though).

You mean music filled with hate, negativity and bad language?

Bannister
No, just not all Christian music. When I say other types of music, I mainly mean non Christian music. Even with secular artists though, I try to get songs that don't send messages filled with hate, bad language, etc. The song "Indestructible" by Disturbed is a good example.


I was just being fusilli.

Odd no one has mentioned "It's Raining Men"?

Bannister

"All out of Love" -Air Supply

Animal I Have Become-Three Days Grace
Life After Death-KJ-52
We Are One Tonight, Meant To Live, Stars-Switchfoot
Inside The Fire-Disturbed
White And Nerdy-Weird Al Yankovic

why do you like christianish music so much?
I have nothing against it or you
