Sorry, if there is already a thread on this but I don't think I've seen one!


Anyway what is your favourite song of all time, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's or 00's?

Mine has to be, Bohemian Rhapsod by Queen
IT'S SO RANDOM!

Forgot to add in 1900's, 1910's, 1920's, 1930's & 1940's!

Ella Mae Morse - Cow Cow Boogie. 1940's

EDIT: Actually I like most music before 1992, but I listen to this one the most.

Dear God... Such a hard question. My favourite song changes as the days pass.

Right now it's probably In The Fade by Queens of the Stone Age.

Most other days it something by Muse

I Think Its actually Impossible to choose one!

1st thing I say is always Kelly Clarkson since U Been Gone, or possibly Beyonce Irreplaceable. But I can become bored listening to them over and over.

Whereas Rogue Traders Way To Go and Paris Hilton Nothing in this World (I am NOT Joking it is a class song) I could listen to constantly

Also absolutely love Deeper and Deeper by Madonna.

Its between those Five for sure though

Again, too many to choose- these always score quite highly:

Shine on You Crazy Diamond (parts 1-8) - Pink Floyd. I prefer the version on the Echoes CD which has all 8 parts rolled into one.

A Day in the Life- Beatles- a pop epic.
Sweet Child O'Mine- Guns n' Roses
Stairway to Heaven- Led Zep
Trouble Every Day- Mothers of Invention- innovative with a social conscience. Gets me every time.
Ghost Town- The Specials- see above.

Many many favourites...

Goodbye and When I'm Thinking About You by The Sundays are probably my two favourites though.

That's such a hard question to answer...

Up on the Roof - Robson and Jerome's version.

Or

Wind Beneath My Wings - Lee Greenwood's version.

I envy you all. I think it's impossible to be honest.

I got bored on holiday once and in between doing laps in the swimming pool, I tried to write my top 100 songs of all time and it became my top 200, then top 500 and I kept on changing the order and taking ones out. I gave up.

I don't think the order matters. But I will know which my top 500/1000/2000 songs are when I'm finally happy with what's on my Ipod! Currently I have 519 songs on there, but when I put it on shuffle, occasionally something will come on and I'll think 'crikey, I don't like that as much as I thought'. And then I'll hear something on the radio and think 'I wish *that* was on my IPod'. It's an interesting challenge to finally achieve an IPod collection I'm totally happy to listen to on shuffle, and I'm nowhere near yet.

Let Me Down Easy - Betty Lavette

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYONs2hR2YQ

A great soul singer that has never gained the commercial success that her talent deserves. I saw her perform live at an allnighter in London (100 club) during the 90's, and it was without doubt one of the best performances that i have ever seen.
