To ask your fav song of all time?

[Waolene]

Mine is Rihanna - 'Rude Boy'

('Cos tonight ... imma let you be the captain 🎶🎵....)

Well yesterday it was Tightrope - Stone Roses
today it's Sandstorm - Cast
no idea what it will be tomorrow.

I don't have 1 favourite. There are far too many songs I love, from Mozart's requiem to Rabbithole by Camelphat.

I could probably give you a top 10. But it wouldn't be the same top 10 as last year, or 10 years ago. And it'll change next year too.

Love and affection- Joanarmatrading

Fast Car.

Too tricky!

There she goes by The Las
Little lies by Fleetwood Mac
Nothing compares 2U by Sinead O'Connor
A little time by The Beautiful South
Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison
Songbird by Fleetwood Mac
Slipping through my fingers by ABBA (though as a mum of 3 girls I can't listen to it without bawling!)
There must be an angel by Eurythmics
Last day under the sun by Volbeat
War pigs by Black Sabbath

I mostly listen to metal and rock which is hard to believe from that list!

Tbh I could go on forever, I can't understand how people have one favourite song 🤷🏻‍♀️ having said that There She Goes is what I walked down the aisle to which is why it's first on my list (and yes I know it's actually about heroin!)

Also there's hundreds on here that are totally awesome songs, good work Mumsnet!

I thought it was The First Cut is the Deepest by PP Arnold but last night with friends I listened to this version plus the Rod Stewart and the Cat Stevens versions back to back and I've now decided it's Rods version I prefer. But how do you pick just one song ?? The list changes all the time, or at least the place in the list does.

With or without you - U2

You by Ten Sharp

How Soon is Now? - The Smiths.

imnotthatkindofmum God I would find it hard to listen to Slipping Through My Fingers. I played that song a lot when my parents were divorcing and I missed my dad so much (he loved Abba too). Little did I know it was in the film Mamma Mia. I was mortified and has to discreetly reach for the tissues. I hate crying in the cinema! And I can relate to what you say too as I have 2 DDS, and one has moved 200 miles away to uni....😭

Can't name just one but I love:
Jealous Guy - Roxy Music
Against All Odds - Phil Collins
Animal Nitrate - Suede
Lighter Touch - Heart
Live It Up - Mental as Anything

None of mine have left yet but as they get older it's just so much more complicated and i have to be at work so much. I just feel I'm missing so much and holding it all together. That song just unravels me!

Cactus, The Pixies.
Or Welcome Home, Dave Dobbyn- "theres a woman with her hands trembling, and she sings with a mountains memory" - that line evokes so much of my childhood and pulls my heart to Aotearoa.

Pure by the Lightning Seeds and Sally Cinnamon by the Stone Roses. Can't pick between them.

My list is very fluid.. changes regularly
Paul Simon.. Me and Julio down by the schoolyard
Flying Pickets..Only You
Phil Oakey.. together in electric dreams
Sam Cooke.. bring it on home to me

Cunts are Still Running the World by Jarvis Cocker.

Since I've been loving you by Led Zeppelin

Love this!
Like a lot of PP, it depends on the day and my mood. Today I'd say:

Stitches - The Dykeenies

I have a few, but I never tire of listening to Waltz darling, by Malcolm Mclaren.

Missing - Everything but the Girl
Mr Brightside - Killers
Take the weather with you - crowded house
Wishing - Flock of seagulls
Remembrance day - B Movie
Chasing cars - Snow patrol
Wild west hero - ELO
Please dont leave me - Pink
Killer - Seal ( was No 1 when DD was born)

Flaming lips - Do you Realise?

Duel by Propaganda is a close second

This is my absolute favourite song. Never hear anyone else refer to it as a favourite.

Really struggled to pin it down to one!

Top 3 might be:
Take Me To Church - Hozier
The Reason - Hoobastank
Creep - Radiohead

Party Fears Two. The associates
