Favourite Songs of ALL time.
Okay, so we all have our 'current' favourites and our 'in and out artists' but what are everyone's ALL-TIME favourite songs?
These artists can be from 2009 as I recently discovered. Even though she is not in my top 3favourite songs, Lady GaGa is my favourite artists, imo she is fab! Anyway to my list.. I think I'll list ten? 1. Elation - The Levellers [1997] 2. Breaking The Habit - Linkin Park [2004] 3. Idaho - Nerina Pallot [2004] 4. Catch The Sun - Doves [2000] 5. I Kissed A Girl - Katy Perry [2008] 6. Poker Face - Lady GaGa [2009] 7. When It Rains - Paramore [2007] 8. Frozen - Madonna [1998] 9. Hometown Glory - Adele [2007] 10. Kabul Shit - Lily Allen [2009] To be fair, I think there are others, the top 4 are really the only certains, but those are my favourite songs from the top of my head. [Be Aware I am only 16 so limited music experience]. Please post years of songs if you can, just for varied interests. However despite this, My favourite Artist is GaGa, and Some of my favourite albums are 'Blackout - Britney' 'Fires - Nerina Pallot' and 'Lost Souls - Doves' =] |

1 Supercheese, are you actually serious? How can you count songs that came out within the last couple of months and are, well, novelty, to be your favourite of all time?? Are you 12 years old? or are you going to be 12 on your next birthday? I did say I was sixteen in the thread... And hey, don't hate. They may not be to your taste, but I do like them, and have many fond memories with them. Besides my top #4 (Which i did state was concrete) is not later than '04. I mean some tracks my be new or 'novelty' but I love them all the same, what can I say? I am a 'pop kid'... I mean its a far sight better than some I know which would be 'N-Dubz, Niche' and things of the like, not good imo. |

![]() SuperCheese you are entitled to post whatever you feel to be your favourite songs. This poster is just plain annoying, and judgemental, did it to me in another thread. Don't let them make you feel bad, its your choice, and Im glad you enjoy these songs so much because music is an amazing thing, and as major winters seems to have forgotten, a personal thing. ![]() PS: Muse are awesome, Time is Running Out is defo somewhere between #10-#20 |

Something Inside So Strong and One Way are mega tracks.

=] Thanks. He probably just assumes I am just another kid, when in fact Music is a passion of mine, and I adore it more than most other things (aside from reading), so it is difficult me choosing my top #10 tracks, so damn hard! Ah well, he can judge as much as he likes, They're all killer tracks!
PS: Muse are awesome, Time is Running Out is defo somewhere between #10-#20 ). I agree, it was extremely difficult to chose just a few, but to be honest I know people say it all the time but how boring would the world be if we all liked the same stuff? Nice to see you appreciate the awesomeness of Muse Im a huge huge fan!

It is totally true! I mean my list was rather respectable, except for Kissed A Girl which is just such an amazing tune, I know it is obscenely empty, but I cannot help what I love.
. Love it.

I'd agree with Leona's version, if we mean Leona's live Lounge version. The single version with the choir and Simon Cowells "moment" stripped the song of any meaning or emotion, just as SC did to Alex Burke's Hallelujah. Leona in the live lounge was one of the most amazing tracks I have ever listened to, literally had goosebumps.
My Top 10. (Which would probably change daily the more I think about it) 1.Kelly Clarkson-Since U Been Gone 2.Beyonce-Irreplaceable 3.Paris Hilton-Nothing In This World 4.MJ-Man In The Mirror (Not just a recent addition) 5.Bon Jovi-Always 6.Kelly Clarkson-Long Shot 7.Carrie Underwood-Jesus Take The Wheel 8.The Killers-Andy, You're A Star 9.Adele-Make You Feel My Love 10.Pink-Save My Life |

Sorry to interrupt this love-in, but I need to point out that a so called "passion for music" and a love of the 'music' of Paris Hilton don't actually go together. It is something that we call an oxymoron.

How to save a life is an awesome track, always loved it...
Never ceases to amaze me how negative some people can be, even though tastes differ. |

It's not a matter of taste, it's a matter of decency.

"Will you" by Hazel O'Connor is awesome! one of the best sax breaks in pop music. I saw her play an acoustic set and even without the sax it was excellent.

Maybe you'd like to actually contribute to the thread and post your list, rather than take snipes at other peoples??
