Driven By You - Brian May

Superb

James_M · 17-12-2001 12:31pm

Originally Buggles (might be spelt wrong though) and then covered and well covered by The Presidents of the USA.

Legend.

I can't even begin to think of the alltime best though.
The mind buggles (sorry)

I've just discovered an amazing old b-side by Weezer called 'I just threw out the love of my dreams' so this is my favourite song EVER right now.

audiogalaxy have it if anyone's interested.

sirpsycho · 17-12-2001 2:47pm

prolly Soul to Squeeze :: RHCP

poobags · 17-12-2001 5:18pm

I often think bout this one. Its really hard, cause you can play a song to death and then its ****in borin.
I'd probably pick the Foos Everlong or SFA "Do or die".
Classic.

mixer007 · 18-12-2001 3:53pm

My Lovely Man by RHCP. Just brilliant and a fitting tribute to an old friend.

Trev M · 18-12-2001 4:40pm

Rocket Queen -

For loadsa reasons...but Im not tellin anyone

SprostonGreen · 18-12-2001 5:05pm

its "Everything Flows" by Teenage Fanclub

but could easily be "History" by the Verve

TONY MONTANA · 18-12-2001 5:26pm

RADIOHEAD.......THE AMAZING SOUNDS OF ORGY....OR APHEXTWIN WINDOW LICKER.......AIR ALL I NEED.....OR DEPTCHARGE BOUNTY KILLER.....I COULD GO ON AND ON AND ON BUT I WONT.

plastic membrane · 18-12-2001 8:11pm

Still She Bangs The Drum by The Stone Roses..

knobbles · 18-12-2001 11:12pm

i reckon i'll always keep these...

dEUS - instant street
PUMPKINS - stand inside your love
U2 - unforgettable fire
MBV - sometimes

Uncle Neddy · 19-12-2001 11:03am

School - Nirvana.

Beany · 19-12-2001 2:08pm

I've been hearing "the Fairytale of New York" a lot the last few weeks...that's definitely a classic.

The common classic is U2's "With or Without You" and deservedly so...one of my favourites.

Others:
Ben Folds Five - "Brick" or "Evaporated"
Peter Cetera - "The Glory of Love"
Super Furry Animals - "mountain People" or "Hometown Unicorn"
Longpigs - "On & On" or "lost Myself"
Guns n' Roses - "Sweet Child of Mine"

...and a million more I can't think of right now...

Kali · 19-12-2001 10:00pm

bjork - come to me

cournioni · 20-12-2001 7:44pm

At the moment its Cemetary Gates by Pantera (as usual!).

o sleep · 21-12-2001 11:24am

this is kind of a stupid topic ... favourite songs can change daily. but here's a couple of mine (i could never limit it to just one):

the undertones: teenage kicks
the smiths: this charming man
the strokes: hard to explain
tindersticks: jism
pixies: break my body
the cure: love cats
sugar: changes

and so forth ...

roundgirl · 21-12-2001 12:28pm

bellx1 beautiful madness. may not be the best song ever written but means the most to me.

scuzzy · 21-12-2001 9:34pm

And the nominees are...

The Who - Baba O' Reilly
Thin Lizzy - Still In Love With You
Ash - Kung Fu
Goo Goo Dolls - Iris
U2 - Light My Way

Pugwash · 22-12-2001 1:50pm

right now for some reason i have taken a liking to hotel california lol, cheesy i no.

suppose RHCP - under the bridge

OR Taxman by the beatles

seamus · 22-12-2001 5:27pm

Hmmm....as someone said, you hear a song, love it, then play it to death. but my nominees are:

GNR - Sweet Child 'O Mine
RHCP - Under The Bridge
Pearl Jam - Light Years(I think?)
Incubus - Pardon Me

There's plenty of others that just came out recently, but they're too new to reliably give a 'classic' status to

(Staind - Epiphany being one

)

{EDIT: Now I think about it, that list would have maybe another 30-40 songs on it, including some obvious beatles ones, some nirvana, maybe some oasis:eek:, but at a push, I'd say GNR - Sweet Child O Mine

}

rachel haden. voice of an angel.

markyedison · 23-12-2001 3:26am

I really love 'blue monday' by New Order, it's perfect for every occasion. However, there are times when Jeff Buckley singing 'Hallejulah' seems like the beautiful thing in the world. It's just a shame that the rest of Grace is unlistenable drivel.

Bard · 23-12-2001 5:23am

Simon and Garfunkel's "Bridge over Troubled Waters".

Gets me every time.

--

[Edit:] Pink Floyd's "Wish you were Here" is also wonderful - as are Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters", Nirvana's "Lithium", Jeff Buckley's "Hallelujah" and the Eagles' "Desperado".

Hmmm... I'm seeing a pattern here...

Medion · 23-12-2001 5:58am

A friend sent me "Hiding - Albert Lee" one time .. its a very good song ...

Someothers

"Edge of the blade - Journeys origional version or Jorn's version"
"Dont you know what love it - Touch"
"Carry on our wayward son - Yngwie j Malmsteen version"
"Runaway - Luis Carreras version"
"Bird of paradise - Snowy White"
"If id been the one - 38 Special"

To name a few ...

Probaly my best band of all time is MSG Micheal Schenker Group
