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."

Twilight Zone by Golden Earring
New Year's Day by U2
Don't Stop Believin' by Journey
Turn Me Loose by Loverboy
Blame It On The Rain by Milli Vanilli (or a reasonable facsimilie thereof )

[Bengi]

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.

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.

Bohemian Rhapsady- Queen, is also very good.

Hard to nail it down to one. I'll pick the ones that have the most plays on my ipod:

Rearview Mirror by Pearl Jam
Something About You by Level 42
Only a Lad by Oingo Boingo
More Than a Woman by Tavares (always gets me and the wife dancing)
Rain King by Counting Crows
