[u-noob-tu]

ill start. "Drowning Man" by U2, from the album "War" (1983?). Bono puts his soul into this song. the most powerful vocals i think i have ever heard. if i was stranded on a desert island and could bring an ipod with one song, it would be this song. what about you guys?

I don't have one (my music taste is just far too diverse to give a credible answer), but according to my Last.fm (http://www.last.fm/user/Throne777), my most listened to track ever is 'Warflower' by The Mayan Factor.

If you haven't heard of that song (which seems likely; the band is quite obscure), give it a listen:

At this exact moment in time I'm listening to the new Septic Flesh album.

[RiceMonster]

Since I'm a musician, and a very big music fan, there's no way I can pick just one song.

This is what I listen to, though:

I see you're a big My Bloody Valentine fan. Do you like Jesu?

Listened to them a few times. They're pretty good from what I remember.

[TheNerdAL]

Go the Distance by Michael Bolton. From the movie "Hercules".

[3Miro]

Way to few people can actually name a favorite song and most of them would give a different song if you were to ask them a year later.

I listen to way too different music to actually compare and songs and choose one of them (can you compare Ace of Base and Prodigy)

[speedwell68]

There are too many songs in the world to be able to pick just one. If we are playing the Desert Island discs game I prefer to do it with albums.

In no particular order of preference..

1. Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast
2. Metallica - Master of Puppets
3. Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
4. Conershop - When I was Born for the Seventh Time
5. Megadeth - Rust in Piece
6. Pantera - Cowboys from Hell
7. The Beatles - Love
8. Beastie Boys - Licence to Ill
9. The Rolling Stones - The Rolling Stones Rock & Roll Circus
10. Tom Petty & The Heart Breakers - Greatest Hits

OMG I dont know what my favorite song would be.

If anythings comes close to being my favorite song of all time. It would probably be "Tuesdays Gone" remake by Hank Williams Jr. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AbJgGWLlRQ)

[rich52x]

Live Forever by Oasis
Simple, anthemic, beautiful
And I can play it on the guitar :D

[dwhite]

not really my favorite song but if we play this like a Rorschach test the first song that came to mind is:

downtown by petula clark http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKCnHWas3HQ

[Timmer1240]

Maybe Im Amazed -Paul Mccartney

[Whistling Nixie]

"Dog Eat Spine" by the Sea Nymphs, a side project of Tim & Sarah Smith and William D. Drake from Cardiacs (a band I hadn't heard of until 27 January this year)... pure genius.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKtX4t_MBAA

It was a difficult choice between that and "Dive" by Cardiacs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ta7_xmWpSx4).

[Swagman]

Probably "Midnight by Yazoo"

But closely followed by lots of others !!

Boomtown Rats - Someones looking at you ... oh oh o oh

[forrestcupp]

Maybe Im Amazed -Paul Mccartney
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cm2YyVZBL8U

Something different, but powerful
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2SYP4B6h20
BTW, those Eastern Orthodox images have nothing to do with the content.
For those who don't understand Chinese, here is my translation:
Early morning. I hear reveille.
Old Dante book falls off my hands.
Unfinished verse fades in my mouth.
My spirit flies far away.
This sound, so familiar and alive.
How often I used to hear it
There, where I was quietly growing
To become a man, long time ago.

[Frogs Hair]

Too many songs to pick one , but I enjoy technical guitar music being a long time player. This is one that stands out for me.

Awesome. I like the part where he smooths his hair out just to show off that he can do that and play at the same time, then right away, he bangs his head and messes his hair all up. :)

Not a bad partner eh John Coltrane.;)

[73ckn797]

Today it is The Allman Brothers Band, Live at Fillmore East.

[Elfy]

and I almost closed the thread - but I forgot

Daevid Allen - Fastfather

Aren't you glad ;)

Edit - actually I would say Gong - Tried So Hard - there is a version of it on some thing that's googlable, but I couldn't possibly point you in that direction given both their TOC and the COC

[Elfy]

Nice choice there ...

[73ckn797]

Nice choice there ...

Having lived around Atlanta, GA all of my life (so far), I used to hear the Allman Brothers at Piedmont Park, in the late 60's & early 70's before that album came out. They would travel up from Macon on Sundays for free concerts.

Lucky - I had to make to do with the Stonehenge festivals. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stonehenge_Free_Festival) ( I'm actually in that bunch somewhere) Old enough to remember things like the beatles/stones/and the rest of the late 60's on the radio but not old enough to stop them turning the radio off - I do though remember hearing the early IOW festivals over the hills and the Solent (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Wight_Festival). Such is life.

I live in a little country ...

[Dustin2128]

Since I'm a musician, and a very big music fan, there's no way I can pick just one song.

If you like Gong, and the Allman Brothers, this might be up your alley, a little different. Look at those funny looking guitars, those are not normal, eh.

Cough frippertronics cough.;)

This is the default every day right now, check out the drummer, he is an acquaintance of mine, he can when needed, play a separate time signature on each limb, it is rather amazing. These guys are on both sides of the beat with the accents, for you that know what I mean.

[linuxforartists]

I think I was in junior high school when I first heard what became my favorite song. Pure energy, made me want to bust out moves I didn't realize I could even do. Totally cured me of shyness and got me on my feet.

It was played over a random MTV commercial with video clips of whatever pop stars were popular that year. Forgot the commercial, but never forgot that song.

Only years later at a university dance did I hear that song again. I frantically asked every friend around me, "What song is this?!" Finally one guy answered, "Oh, that's 'Renegade Master.'" ("Renegade Master '98" by Wildchild, Fatboy Slim's Old Skool remix)

What made it sweeter was this was one of the top YouTube results for searching that song:

Various Anime Music Video - Renegade Master (http://youtu.be/5mlw32jNrnY)

Sadly, although I've done a lot of clubbing around the world, I've only heard it played in a dance club exactly once. In Taipei, Taiwan at Club W (a.k.a Club Wax). I was so full-force into dancing to "Renegade Master" that people cleared space around me on the floor and cheered me on. Easily one of my Top 5 nights out of all time.

[NightwishFan]

My favourite song.. That is a difficult one to answer. Probably - Chicago - Ballet For a Girl

[Kenank]

Music: Jascha Richter and Soulpoets. Words: Jascha Richter)

Lately you have been asking me
if all my words are true
Don't you know I'll do anything for you.

Its my favorite song.
