If you could choose just one song to listen to right now what would it be and why?

I think mine would have to be Everybody Hurts by R.E.M. it's just such a powerful, emotive song, the lyrics, the fingerpicking on the guitar, the eerie voice, amazing.

So what would yours be?

The live 4 1/2 minute version of Suspicious Minds by Elvis Presley.
There's so much energy in this song that I'm unable to sit still!!!!

Up On The Roof by the Drifters.
Romantic, hopeful, poignant, with great harmonies and timing, very smooth.

My least-known favorite is the jazzy vocal Point Of No Return be Gene McDaniel

You should hear the version off the Donnie Darko soundtrack if you haven't already. Great cover by a guy called Gary Jules.

Cherry Red - The ground Hogs
Heavy Horses - Jethrol Tull
Most of the Beatles stuff.

I can't choose one!

But for in car sing along, it has to be American Pie.

But it depends on the mood I'm in.

Impossible to narrow down.....although you could count "Flower Of Scotland" as my all time favourite song, but it's my national anthem so I dont think it counts.

Before New York I couldn't stop listening to Leonard Cohen, Chelsea Hotel. Since coming back I'm stuck on Pressure Drop (Toots and the Maytalls).
