I heard "everybody hurts" by REM and "wake me up when september ends" by greenday. they have to be 2 of the best songs ever
(please note I am not mentioning any Metal songs so as to not be a bore)

I heard Cutting Crew "I just died in your arms tonight" on the radio this morning and cranked it up loud on the way to Tesco. Maybe it's a bit naff but it was just GREAT.

Favourite song though is Snow Patrol's "Run".

I feel the same, love this song! My friend had the 12" and I was !!

But I did have Cutting Crew "I just died in your arms tonight" on 7" though

Agree with OP but am a major fan of most REM songs - "nightswimming" and "losing my religion" still give me goosebumps...
