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.

journey- dont stop believing

Nick Drake - River Man

Faithless - Insomnia

@HazelBite - I bloody love Bruno Mars!

Mandolin Wind - Rod Stewart
Devils and Dust - Springsteen
For Emily - Simon & Garfunkel

Slow dancing by U2, love it, especially live.

Breakfast at Tiffany's - Deep blue something
Mardy Bum - Arctic Monkeys (should have been our first dance but we gave in to people saying it was inappropriate)
Love is Easy - mcfly

Love this thread.

The winner takes it all by ABBA.

A quite wonderful song written by Bjorn about the breakdown of his marriage to Agnetha. He then asked his ex-wife to sing it, which she did with one of the greatest vocal performances in the history of popular music.

@Jsmith99 similar scenario to Go Your Own Way by Fleetwood MAC. Lindsay Buckingham wrote the song about his split with Stevie Nicks and then got her to sing backing vocals!

Desert Moon from Dennis de Young (Styx)

At Seventeen from Janis Ian

Right, I think I have caught up. And inspired by other posters I have added All About You, Slipping Through my Fingers and Whole Again

Beach Boys "God only knows" gives me goosebumps it's so lovely. Ditto "Life On Mars, Bowie of course.

@anniehm What an interesting choice of Radiohead song as your favourite! (No judgement, one of mine is How Can You Be Sure which is a Pablo Honey b-side!)

These make it onto pretty much all my playlists:

What is love - Haddaway
A message - Coldplay
Turn - The Wombats
Real gone kid - Deacon Blue
Love is a stranger - Eurythmics

Crazy English summer - faithless.
The long and winding road - Beatles
We could send letters -Aztec camera
War baby. Tom Robinson

Goo Goo Dolls - Iris

Set u free- N-trance ......if we are going for uplifting!

This old Heart of Mine - The Isley Brothers
Love Really Hurts Without You -Billy Ocean
Bonnke Tyler-Total Eclipse of The Heart
Since You've Been Gone-Rainbow
Working my Way Back to You- The Detroit Spinners

Probably loads more Ive forgotten. It's impossible to pick just one.

I'd go for Radiohead - paranoid android. everything in its right place or the pyramid song.

Or the Four Seasons (spring) by Vivaldi

Starship - Nothings Gonna Stop Us Now

And

Berlin - Take My Breath Away

@thebabysmells
Spot on. Then Stevie replied to Lindsey with the superb Silver Springs, which didn’t make it onto the original release of Rumours but was released as a B side. Such a great song :

“I’ll follow you down til the sound of my voice will haunt you.
You'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you.”

Wow, I wasn't expecting so many replies! I know it's hard to pick just one favourite song, I have loads!

Like a dog this song is not just for Christmas :

Fairytale of New York (Pogues and Kirsty MacColl not the travesty by Ronan Keating)

The first few notes on the piano makes the skin on my neck prickle.
It was playing when I was in labour with my DS , so a song which brings back memories

Added a couple extras.
