Favorite Song

donmeister · 18-12-2008 12:41am #1

Okay,just wondering what everyone in the C&H Forum's favorite song is.
Note this is no 'soundtrack to your angst' thread,any song you like,and if you like say why you like it,etc....

Also you only have one pick,i.e. no 'ohhh i love two',choose one.
Any Youtube links etc. Much appreciated

Mine is Voyager By Daft Punk,just love the beat+video.

I'll never be able to pick a single outstanding favourite song. Having such great taste precludes me from blinkering my musical senses

Gotta agree. I could never pick one song. It changes constantly.

JC 2K3 · 18-12-2008 1:42am

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth is my favourite album ever. That's not going to change easily, but no one song off that album would be my favourite ever. I don't think I could pick a favourite song ever though. If pushed for an answer it'd be 2112 by Rush I guess, but that's just because that's the last time I consciously decided a song was my favourite ever and it was over 2 years ago. I've gotten into much more music since then.

Kersmash · 18-12-2008 1:48am

I can only stand about 2 minutes of Rush before my head caves in due to your mans voice(Geddy Lee?). They're instrumentals are alright though.

If I was pushed I'd say the EP See You In Another City by Blakfish is nigh on perfect. I can't find a flaw with any track. I love it.

JC 2K3 · 18-12-2008 1:55am

Not a fan of high pitched male vocals? Personally it's one of my favourite vocal styles. I love Geddy Lee, Axl Rose, Shannon Hoon etc.

Rush's instrumentals are awesome. YYZ would be a close contender with 2112. It's probably the most perfect rock instrumental ever.

Crumble Froo · 18-12-2008 8:35am

easy.

Incubus - Sick Sad Little World.

if i could listen to only one song for the rest of my life... this would be it.

challengemaster · 18-12-2008 2:35pm

Feeder - Just a day

Picked up a love for it while playing GT3 when I was younger...ahh..brings back memories

FreeFallin · 18-12-2008 2:40pm

FreeFallin - Tom Petty

One of the best

I don't mind high pitched male voices, it's just something about his voice that annoys me and I can't listen! Can't put my finger on it though.

GTFO. Geddy Lee is possibly the greatest frontman of all time, after Josh Homme.

My favourite song would probably be The Spirit Of The Radio by Rush:

Simply amazing

Fad · 18-12-2008 4:26pm

Drowning Lessons - My Chemical Romance, my personal favourite song ever off my favourite album

p1akuw47h5r3it · 18-12-2008 5:04pm

Spiders or Escape the Nest by Editors

seamus-2k7 · 18-12-2008 5:49pm

Maybe not my favorite but I'd like to share. (bret you got it going on, flight of the conchords)

Josh Homme is so awesome. He couldn't get any more stylish/sexy if he tried. Especially in this video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4O3LnDsPik

That'd be up there amongst my favourites.

Love me two times by The Doors!

Insect Overlord · 19-12-2008 2:11am

The Doors are great

"Roadhouse Blues" is my favourite song by them.

Close but nowhere near as good as 2112.

I don't have a favourite of anything at all, it could change too easily.

WoollyRedHat · 19-12-2008 8:48pm

Forever Young-Alphaphille or Youth Group.

Search it yourself, lazies!

Fad · 19-12-2008 9:16pm

since this kinda turned in to "I quite like this song thread" I'll post this:

Piste · 20-12-2008 12:08am

I can't say I have a favourite song really, I keep going on and off bands all the time. Also I listen to a song I like to death and then don't like it anymore.

rainbow kirby · 20-12-2008 1:01am

Sonata Arctica - The Cage

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3ZKu7sOBRs

This has been my favourite song for about 3 years now, just love it

If Alexandra Burke gets her hands on this one, I don't think I could ever listen to music again...

rhapsody! · 21-12-2008 11:48pm

There are so many I like.. some of my favourites AT THE MINUTE are My Delirium by Ladyhawke, Psychosocial by Slipknot, Poppin Champagne by All Time Low.. so many..

Nightwish · 22-12-2008 7:24pm

This is easy. Thus far in my life there is only one song, above all, which can be called my favourite. Its epic as f*ck, and when I heard it live, it nearly made me keel over it was so good.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VF0BlXP-0Y

KnifeWRENCH · 22-12-2008 8:26pm

It's impossible to pick just one song, there are so many brilliant ones out there I love!
But this is one of my all time favourites:

From the brilliant Pisces Iscariot album.

thusspakeblixa · 22-12-2008 9:50pm

Hmm... I'll pick a few. It depends on what mood I'm in :P

This is for I'm in my "I am ****ing brilliant" mood-

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHKSrS8vJyI

This is my "wake up"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwywugjy3BY

And for when I'm in a soppy "miss my gf" mood

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5rhhQbyYV0

:pac:

phasers · 23-12-2008 5:04pm

Right now it's Space Dimentia by Muse but gimme a week and I'll have something different

That song sends a shiver down my spine every time I hear it, it's ****ing amazing.

Pyr0 · 23-12-2008 9:13pm

Atm my favourite song is "Left to Die" by Death, from the album Leprosy -

I'll add a youtube link when I get home.

Finished work ! Woooh !

Funny, that's where I first heard and got to love that song too!

If I had to pick two songs (I can't pick one!) to listen to forever, they would be Under Pressure by Queen/David Bowie:

And... On Every Street by Dire Straits:

Actually, I'd have to pick this too (Beast of Burden by The Stones):

But, then again, these are just some of my favourites, I just couldn't choose to be honest.

Mushy · 24-12-2008 11:29am

If I had to choose just one song, it'd be Better Living Through Chemistry by QOTSA. That'd be my all time favourite I'd say. But other songs/bands come close.

Dream Theater: Honor Thy Father
Rush: Passage to Bangkok
Porcupine Tree: Fear of a Blank Planet
Smashing Pumpkins: Geek USA
Alice in Chains: Angry Chair
Pearl Jam: Given to Fly

victoriaa · 28-12-2008 12:13am

ohthebaby · 30-12-2008 1:57am

Haven't heard of half these songs! :-) I'm more of a pop person! Abba all the way! ;-)
Oh and Take That of course!

I like ya be'ed. You've got a good be'ed.

Like everyone's said, I don't have one fixed favourite song, but lately, it's been between What Sarah Said by Death Cab for Cutie and Hljómalind by Sigur Ros, from either Hvarf or Heim.

I just got those two albums, they KICK ASS!
I love the acoustic version of that song from Agaetis Byrjun.
Have you seen the Heima DVD?

Nope, never knew there was one. Worth getting? They're definitely a band on the see-before-I-die list. The albums are so epic I can't imagine what a live show would be like.

Most definitely. You can pick it up in Tower Records for around 20 spot I think.
My Icelandic friend saw them live (lucky bugger),they're mind-bogglingly awesome live I'm told

Sophisticated6y · 31-12-2008 11:02pm

Dancing in the Moonlight - Thin Lizzy. :cool:

(see also, smashing pumpkins version)

Crumble Froo · 31-12-2008 11:58pm

... but then make sure and see the thin lizzy version again. one of my favourites, that song, but the whole point of it is this celebration of youth, and the freedom and just the small things, it's just so happy and yay, and then billy corgan makes it sound like the worst days of his life! haha, thin lizzy version of it for me every time.
