What's your absolute favourite song of all time?

[SapphireSeptember]

Because I have trouble picking just one! If I have to, I'd say mine is Whisper by Evanescence. Yes it's depressing but I think of it as my happy song.

Wish you were here - Pink Floyd
Up the junction -squeeze

Any songs by Yes, king crimson and led Zep

Elliot Smith, waltz #2.

Queen Who wants to live forever.

Stranglers Golden Brown.

The Boxer

R.E.M. night swimming

Just for starters so so many more I love.

Squeeze, good shout. Brilliant songs. Brilliant lyrics.

Joker - steve miller band
Shes leaving home - the beatles
All i want is you - U2

This one

Come up and see me (make me smile) - Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel

15 years by The Levellers. First song i ever heard of theirs in 1991 lifelong fan now almost 30 years later.

Yes to Squeeze, couldn't decide on my favourite of theirs. The songs remind me of my mis-spent youth. Chris Difford has a brilliant way with words, his lyrics are well crafted stories.

Anyway ... an saving Some Fantastic Place for my funeral, so didn't put it in this thread.

Jimi Hendrix - All along the watchtower

After all - Frank and Walters
Good Morning Britain - Aztec Camera

Hmm where to begin?

Perfect Day (Lou Reed)
Because the Night (Patti Smith)
Golden Brown (The Stranglers)
Creep (Radiohead)
Say Hello, Wave Goodbye (Soft Cell)
Breathing (Kate Bush)
Interlude (Morrissey and Siouxsie)
Bad Dream (Keane)
Viva La Vida (Coldplay)
Hallelujah (Jeff Buckley)

And I could go on and on...

newmodelarmy great great choices. Saw Patti Smith few weeks ago. Because the night absolutely mega great. She’s an icon and in great voice and form. All up dancing. 10 feet from her - nearly blown away by crazy genius all gig.

HeronLanyon always had a bit of a girl crush on Patti Smith. Very envious that you saw her live. She is iconic. Not for nothing that she was very significant to Robert Mapplethorpe and Sam Shepherd, two of the stand-out creatives of the 70s/80s.

American creatives I should have said

Everlong by Foo Fighters.

I have a new full on middle aged crush on her now ! Indeed those influenced say a lot.

Solsbury Hill - Peter Gabriel ❤️

Just fantastic!!

Two Hearts by Phil Collins

November Rain - Guns 'n' Roses

@NewModelArmyMayhem18
No NMA songs?!

Manics A Design For Life
Louie Armstrong We Have All The Time In The World
Nirvana Aneurysm
Radiohead Climbing Up The Walls
Cranberries Zombie
Muse Citizen Erased
Beatles Let It Be
Slaves Photo Opportunity

Just too many to pick just one!

Impossible to choose just one. I would find it hard to choose just 100! A few are:
Pink floyd: learning to fly
Roxy music: Avalon
Dire Straits: Brothers in Arms
Al Green:Lets stay together
John Martyn: Hurt in your Heart
Willy Nelson: Crazy
Bruse Springsteen: Drive all night
Tom Petty: Wont Back Down
Chris Isaac:wicked game
Tim Buckley: Dolphins
Van Morrison: Into the Mystic
Christy Moore: Ride on
Missy Elliott: Get your freak on
Lou Reed: walk on the wild side
Etta James: Id rather go blind
Bb King: the thrill is gone

Impossible, really. But my gut feeling was Abba, My Love, My Life.

Beatles black bird
Fleetwood mac little lies
River Joni Mitchell
Into my arms nick cage
Somewhere only we know keane
Beach boys god only knows
Pet shop boys always on my mind
Carole king beautiful
Kate Bush cloudbusting
