I've never put together a top 10 songs list. "Come Together" would be a strong candidate. So would "Layla." I think that my #1, however, would have to be "I am the Walrus." :lol:

gah, i hate that song.

this would be an impossible list for me to make, but paula abdul, toto, the shins, tears for fears, belle and sebastian, our lady peace, of montreal, and the ramones would definitely be on it.

Good song, but I think Bohemian just beats it out by sheer awesomeness.

While Walrus is what Lennon cooked up while doing acid.

Honestly, I don't have ten constant faves. They change on a daily basis.

I listened earlier tonight to one of the first Beatles albums. "I Saw Her Standing There" is today's favorite song.

instead of listing my ten favorite songs, I'm just gonna list the first ten songs I can think of that I really like:

1. Hotel Yorba - the White Stripes
2. We Become Sillhouettes - The Postal Service
3. Tiny Vessels - Death Cab for Cutie
4. Goodbye Sky Harbor - Jimmy Eat World
5. Slide - the Goo Goo Dolls
6. Sweetness (the on-drugs version) - Jimmy Eat World
7. Mr. Mastadon Farm - Cake
8. In Repair - Our Lady Peace
9. Crazy - Nine Days
10. Touch Me - The Doors

I know they are all fairly recent except for that last one there...I like a lot of old music, but most of what came to my mind is from my cd collection, and I don't buy old cds cause my dad already has anything I might want...

This is kind of an unfair question. It depends on my mood, the genre...what I'm listening to at the moment, and having to pick just 10 out of all the amazing music out there is almost torture, and certainly not accurate.

4. Golden Brown - The Stranglers
5. The Passenger - Iggy Pop
6. Runaway - Del Shannon

10. Too Much, Much Too Young - The Specials

Top Ten Favourites...
1) Someday - Nickelback
2) Radioactivity - Kraftwerk
3) Windowlicker - Aphex Twin
4) I Don't Want to Wait - Paula Cole

8) Money - Pink Floyd
9) Stairway to Heaven - Led Zepplain
10) Four Seasons - Vivaldi

I forgot

This Town Ain't Big Enough for the Both of Us - Sparks

And yeah, Windowlicker rawks. The video by Chris Cunningham is pure genius too. Almost everything he's done is. Hello My Selector - Squarepusher, is one of his finest vidz.

Also, there is always "Always on The Run" by Lenny Kravitz.

10.Another Brick in the Wall part 2.-Pink Floyd
9. Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds-The Beatles
8. Paranoid Android-Radiohead

What about

Psycho Killer - Talking Heads
Mad World - REM
St. Teresa - Joan Osbourne
Add It Up - Violent Femmes
Algebra - Soul Hooligan
Cannonball - The Breeders
Not If You Were The Last Junkie On Earth - Dandy Warhols
Blackbird - Beatles
Everything in its Right Place - Radiohead
Perfect Day - Lou Reed
Wildwood - Paul Weller
That's Entertainment - The Jam

There are just too many songs out there to really pick a top ten. I'd say if I had to do it, I'd have to pick a top thousand.

While Walrus is what Lennon cooked up while doing acid.

So is "Come Together," I suspect.
