If you only listen to the same artists over and over again then it's not as hard to pick out one.

But most people listen to a new album or two per week, it's incredibly difficult to pick a single track..

Joe_ Public

Van Morrison, Philosophers Stone (pretty much any live version)

rednik

Number 1 for me. Lucky enough to have been there for one of the nights.

NIMAN

A near impossible thing to do, pick your all time favourite song.

I'd have to say "Teenage Kicks", probably influenced by the fact that I'm a Derry man.

Other than that, probably either One Headlight by the Wallflowers, Catch the Wind by Donovan or something by The The (probably Heartland)

vicwatson

Impossible to say, so much great stuff written

Anesthetize

This is the most original thread I've seen in the Music section for a long time.

Otis Redding - (Sittin' on) The dock of the bay. Never changes, always my favourite.

I can actually remember when this came out, I was about eleven. I remember recording it onto a tape and playing it over and over again and also watching the Top 30 Hits on Network 2 just to catch those ten second glimpses of the video (we didn't have MTV). I also remeber it never made it to number one and I was completely disheartened by that fact.

It's a song that whenever I hear it, even 17 years later, I still get hooked and want to listen to the whole thing over and over again. I'm not much of a dancer but if you want to get me moving, put this on.

It might not be my favourite song of all time, I reckon that's a pretty tricky thing to quantify, but it's definitely one that I'll keep listening to and enjoying 'til the day I die.

Olishi4

Hard to answer that one. I have so many favourites but for some reason my first thought on reading the thread was Mother and Child Reunion by Paul Simon

The YOPPA

I don't like Mondays - Boomtown Rats

Not sure why, I always liked it, maybe because of the 'true life' story behind it.

Irish_rat

Okay two I really like

There is a light that never goes out - The Smiths

Or

She's Lost Control - Joy Division

Hmm

m17

Alone Heart

Olishi4

I'm changing mine

Lust for Life - Iggy Pop

Keisha07

How to choose but unknown legend Neil Young has to be the go to

Flint Fredstone

Impossible to choose but Pulp - Common People never fails to lift my mood.

Water John

Different ones different days, but reaching back, Everybodys Talkin Harry Neilsen is about there always.
Difficult guy, third wife from Connemara.
Don't like Mondays is also epic. A great single.

happyoutscan

When played at high volume, One by Metallica is mind blowing.

Gmol

Probably .Honesty is no excuse by Thin Lizzy, it's so different from the more recognizable stuff they did .

Honourable mentions to For no one Beatles.
Windmills of your mind . Noel Harrison,
Wheels with wheels Rory Gallagher.
Ramble on Zepplin.

'Fools that I yet do not know...'

Wilberto

Taylor Swift - Ronan

Performed September 7th 2012 on a telethon for cancer research.

The song itself was inspired by Ronan Thompson, a three year old who had developed stage four cancer at three years old, and passed away around 8 months later. The song was put on Itunes after Taylor had performed it with all the proceeds going to cancer research.
