Out of every song I am asking YOU for your personal favorite. Dont give me a top five, just ONE.

Jockamo aka Iko-Iko by Larry Williams.

Edit: I know I messed up the title spelling and I couldnt fix it before it was too late so dont bother pointing it out.

Bananaphone.

Yatta!!!!!!!! All your base ranks a close seccond.

First person to say old gets raped

the kittykat dance (on ebaums but i'm not allowed to link to it...bah)


one serious song though? can't do that.

old gets raped

now what happens?

And I would pick Desert Rain by Iced Earth (mostly because it's in my top ten and was playing a few minutes ago)

is dantes inferno not miles better? :confused:

ooh that reminds me, maybe Gettysburg deserves to be a best song (cos its awesome and over half an hour long!)

Ode to Joy
Beethoven

Paradise By The Dashboard Light by Meatloaf. No matter how many times i listen to it it never gets old:D unlike me

O' Flower of Scotland-

nuff said

**bows to PM's superior knowledge**

Had I been listening to Alive In Athens and not The Blessed And The Damned, I would've picked that. Maybe.

Anyone know a song with the message "It's impossible to pick just one favourite song?":(

Baba O'Riley by the Who-definately the best ever ya know "Teenage Wasteland..."

**bows to PM's superior knowledge**

Had I been listening to Alive In Athens and not The Blessed And The Damned, I would've picked that. Maybe.

:p :D
AiA so rocks (hardly even listen to the actual albums since getting that boxed set...)

**Anyone know a song with the message "It's impossible to pick just one favourite song?":(
lol no but there should be one damnit...

just pick Tribute by the D as an easy way out ;)

too many fav songs... can't think of particularly one song that i really like. ho-hum:D

Werewolves in London. Hands (paws?) down. It always puts me in a good mood...a party mood actually. Doesn't matter where I am or what is happening, when that song comes on I drop everything and just groove to it. Yeah Zevon!

At the moment my favorite song is 'Lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking off her clothes' by Panic! at the Disco

I love Whiskey Lullaby.

Werewolves in London. Hands (paws?) down. It always puts me in a good mood...a party mood actually. Doesn't matter where I am or what is happening, when that song comes on I drop everything and just groove to it. Yeah Zevon!

Agreed.

Well... it changes constantly, as I hear new music and get tired of the old stuff. So I can't really say.

Radiohead - 2+2=5 means I have to get up and flail my arms about, but it's not my favourite...Sigur Rós - Hoppipolla calms me down and gets me relaxed, but it's not my favourite song...I guess I just don't have one.

Anything, Anything-Dramarama

Okay, what is it tonight?
Please just tell me what the hell is wrong!
Do you wanna eat?
Do you wanna sleep?
Do you wanna drown?

Just settle down, settle down, settle down!

I'll give you candy, give you diamonds, give you pills.
Give you anything you want,
Hundred-dollar bills.
I'll even let you watch the shows you wanna see,
Because you'll marry me marry me marry me!

I'm so sick of you tonight.
You never stay awake when I get home.
Is there something wrong with me?
Is there something wrong with you?
I really wish I knew, wish I knew, wish I knew!

I'll give you candy, give you diamonds, give you pills.
I'll give you anything you want,
hundred-dollar bill.
I'll even let you watch the shows you wanna see.
Because you marry me marry me marry me!

When I was young, I learned a game,
And love and happiness were the same.
Now I'm older and I don't play
I found out the hardest way.

I got wasted she got mad,
She called me names and she called her dad.
He got crazy and I did too.
Wondered what the FUCK I did to you.

I'll give you candy, give you diamonds, give you pills.
Give you anything you want,
Hundred-dollar bills!
I'll even let you hear the songs I want to sing.
I would do anything, anything, anything.
I would do anything, anything, anything.
I would do anything, anything, anything.
I would do anything
I would do anything
I would do anything

I couldn't pick just one...

maybe Babe I'm Gonna Leave You by Led Zep.

"Inno a Satana" by Emperor. I don't particularly agree with the lyrics... but the song is simply awesome.

My vote would go in with "Battle Without Honour" by Tomoyasu Hotei. For the simple reason that you require no drugs of any sort to get a headrush when you play this tune in your earphones and grab your sword. :p And now we meditate on the art of whatever art we feel like meditating on, yes....

One song? Bah!

If I must... Um um... Metallica's "One" as covered by Apocalyptica.

Yes, Apo's version kicks so much ass. Grr! Cello metal!

:D :D *gives special cookie*
I was approached by a random metalhead on the train (I was holding my recently acquired copy of Inquisition Symphony- to join Cult and Reflections) who complimented me on my taste and asked where I got it from. Apo is hard to find here.

Chameleon, by Herbie Hancock.

Nothing else compares.

Anything, Anything-Dramarama

Shit, I haven't heard that for ages.

I couldn't specify an exact favourite, but three that come to mind right now are:

Hot Rollers - Sliver Bullets

Radiohead - High & Dry

Pop Will Eat Itself - Eat Me, Drink Me, Love Me, Kill Me.



Edit: Cold Chisel - Bow River

If I had to name a single song, that'd probably be it.

The solo in the Ghost in the Shell soundtrack (Nightstalker)

regardless of taste, its one of the most astounding pieces of music ever played

And after that Gunter's Ding Dong Song

You touch my tralala, my ding-ding-dong! (http://www.funnyheck.com/gunther.html) :)

Paradise By The Dashboard Light by Meatloaf. No matter how many times i listen to it it never gets old:D unlike me
I like the motorcycle guitar by Todd Rundgren

my favorite alltime song changes from week to week...
at the moment it is "Kinderkreuzzug" from Janus , which means "Children-Crusade in english, and desribes the fate of 55 children lost in the winter 1939 in Poland, where they all died...very sad..7:52 Minutes just one piano and one voice

Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger. - Daft Punk.

Seriously.

Cows With Guns
by Dana Lyons copyright 1996

Am G Am

[Am]Fat and docile, big and dumb
They look so stupid, they aren't much fun
[G]Cows aren't [Am]fun


They eat to grow, grow to die
Die to be et at the hamburger fry
Cows well done

Nobody thunk it, nobody knew
No one imagined the great cow guru
Cows are one

He hid in the forest, read books with great zeal
He loved Che Guevera, a revolutionary veal
Cow Tse Tongue

He spoke about justice, but nobody stirred
He felt like an outcast, alone in the herd
Cow doldrums

He mooed we must fight, escape or we'll die
Cows gathered around, cause the steaks were so high
Bad cow pun

But then he was captured, stuffed into a crate
Loaded onto a truck, where he rode to his fate
Cows are bummed

He was a scrawny calf, who looked rather woozy
No one suspected he was packing an Uzi
Cows with guns

They came with a needle to stick in his thigh
He kicked for the groin, he pissed in their eye
Cow well hung

Knocked over a tractor and ran for the door
Six gallons of gas flowed out on the floor
Run cows run!

He picked up a bullhorn and jumped up on the hay
We are free roving bovines, we run free today

We will [F] fight for bovine [C] freedom
And [E] hold our large heads [Am] high
We will [F] run free with the [C] Buffalo, or [E] die
Cows with [Am] guns

They crashed the gate in a great stampede
Tipped over a milk truck, torched all the feed
Cows have fun

Sixty police cars were piled in a heap
Covered in cow pies, covered up deep
Much cow dung

Black smoke rising, darkening the day
Twelve burning McDonalds, have it your way

We will fight for bovine freedom
And hold our large heads high
We will run free with the Buffalo, or die
Cows with guns

The President said "enough is enough

These uppity cattle, its time to get tough"
Cow dung flung

The newspapers gloated, folks sighed with relief
Tomorrow at noon, they would all be ground beef
Cows on buns

The cows were surrounded, they waited and prayed
They mooed their last moos,
they chewed their last hay
Cows out gunned

The order was given to turn cows to whoppers
Enforced by the might of ten thousand coppers
But on the horizon surrounding the shoppers

Came the deafening roar of chickens in choppers

We will fight for bovine freedom
And hold our large heads high
We will run free with the Buffalo, or die
Cows with guns


Dedicated to the Mooovement.

Fields of Athenry, as sung by 40,000 pissed rugby fans at Lansdowne Road. Makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up.

"Low lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free bird fly
Our love was on the wing
We had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely round the fields of Athery"

"C'MON IRELAND!"

(That last bit has to be added in for authenticity)

This week it's Cut my Skin's song She. I Don't really think I can narrow myself down to an all-time fav. Music tastes evolve over time. Warriors by The Blitz has always been high on my list though. Been listening to that on (at least) a weekly basis the past 15 years.

Disregard the fucked up Genglisch :p

She

She was a lightning there whereever she walks
Who she is everybody knows
Cause life was her`s and she dont care
She knows she`s not pretty
She knows she is not neat
But she`s standing straight on her feet
Showing her finger to society

Everyday another try
Life was good, life was high
She couldn`t care much less
She was rude in speaking out
All the injustice she found
She was wild and loud

Life is hard if you are free
Open curtains that you see
There will be no disguise
Don`t give up in agony
Stand your ground and you will see
No gain without a try

She was a lightning ...

She was a fighter
And she never understand why
The hell people are under command
Sneak and crawl for some piece of bone
She`d rather drink some beer and have a laugh
Community of punkrocklife
She`d give a shit about indignity

Goddamn hunger, steal some more
She was happy, strong and poor
A persuasive mind
Berlin streets were cold at night
She had trouble and a fight
She would knock them down

Life is hard if you are free
Open curtains that you see
There will be no disguise
Don`t give up in agony
Stand your ground and you will see
No gain without a try

Probably The Prophet's Song by Queen, but there's oh-so-much that contends for the position of my favourite song.

*snip*You were there that day? Lucky bastard! :p

Cows With Guns
by Dana Lyons copyright 1996



YAY!

Hmm, now I'm wanting to change my mind and say that, or "A Tout La Monde" by Megadeth.

suppose would have To be Jerusalem

Radio Protector by 65daysofstatic - probably the finest piece of music ever to grace god's ears. Technically not a song, as it has no lyrics. Favourite actual song is Kashmir, by Led Zep, just for that riff.

The best song ever... bar none...

http://www.rpgsource.net/gallery/chinko_eng.swf

It si teh mastar! none is greatar!

None can repel The Hoarde

Canned Heat-Napoleon Dynamite Soundtrack
Name of the Game-Crystal Method
Mad World-Gary Jules (its from the Donnie Darko Soundtrack)
Any song from AudioSlave

Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven


Why are all these people picking like 10 songs each? The originator said 1.

Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven


come on people, let's be creative here. That is a good song, but it's so overrated. I say Achilles Last Stand.

Symphonie Fantastique by Hector Berlioz makes me happy all over. The only problem is that I have this urge to punch something during the fugue in the Fifth movement, but other than the violence it rises me to its wonderful.

suppose would have To be Jerusalem

By the band Sleep?

come on people, let's be creative here. That is a good song, but it's so overrated. I say Achilles Last Stand.

It's my favorite song. I don't care that everyone likes it.

After that, the list goes in order:

Imagine by John Lennon
Baby, I Love Your Way by Peter Frampton
How Deep Is Your Love by Bee Gees

It depends on my mood really. But for the past few years my favorite song would absolutely by Ohio, by Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. It just feels rightous ;)

Nirvana, Lithium

Jane's Addiction, Jane Says or C'mon Ted Just Admit It

But I submit for your consideration:
Liz Phair, HWC:

Give it to me, don't give it away
Don't think about what the others say
My skins getting clear, my hairs so bright
All you do is fuck me every day and night

You're my secret beauty routine
Na, na, na, na, what my body has seen
I am lookin' good and I'm feeling nice
Baby you're the best magazine advice

Gimme your hot white cum
Gimme your hot white cum
Gimme your hot white cum
Gimme your hot white cum

I'm gonna pull you back down between the sheets
Everything is fresher when the day is sweet
In the morning light when you're already on the phone

Face it, one of these days
Without you I'm just another Dorian Gray
It's the fountain of youth
It's the meaning of life
So hot, so sweet, so WHET my appetite

Gimme your hot white cum
Gimme your hot white cum
Gimme your hot white cum
Gimme your hot white cum

Face it, one of these days
Without you I'm just another Dorian Gray
It's the fountain of youth
It's the meaning of life
Baby you're the best magazine advice

Gimme your hot white cum
Gimme your hot white cum
Gimme your hot white cum
Gimme your hot white cum
Gimme your hot white cum
Gimme your hot white cum
Gimme your hot white cum
Gimme your hot white cum
Your hot white cum

Nothing else matters by Metallica. A good love song (listen to the lyrics.. it is a love song)

Queen " '39 "

Its a song that deals with the effects of a spaceship travelling near the speed of light and the resulting variance in the amount of time you experience and the amount of time everoyne else, such as your lover, experiences.

Don't expect anyone to have heard of this and don't particulary care.

Hope - Klaatu (It's what I listen to when I get really depressed. Cheers me up every time, without fail.)

Hope
(John Woloschuk)
Hope is like a lighthouse keeper's beam
Hope the master cobbler of our dreams
For Hope believes in desert streams
The mightiest of stars
The microcosm in a jar
Vast or small they all revolve on Hope

Hope the guardian angel of the dove
Hope a gift of guidance from above
For Hope is the heart in mother's love
No plans could be conceived
No ships could fare the seas
For there would be no courage were it not for Hope

Now the path before us lies before our very eyes
Don't you see
And it leads up to the gateway
Lead me through
Don't you see

Then come and take my hand
Raise up your head
And dry your eyes
For up ahead I see
Woh woh yeah
A ray of peace
A-shining on me

So let us feel Hope
And feel the sunrise in our minds
To give Hope is to enlighten all mankind
Ah but lose Hope and life seems black as blind
When faith gives way to fear
When motivation disappears
All is lost if one abandons Hope
All is lost
If one abandons Hope

Lynyrd Skynyrd's FREE BIRD (live 70-73 period).

I'm currently liking...

She sells Sanctuary - The Cult

Brilliant song...however, i have no doubt that my fave will change sooner or later...

By the band Sleep?

Sang By any large Male Chorus, espescially if Rugby is involved <G>, no, was our school song and I love the sound of the human voice.

Could also go for Ode to Joy and Dies Irae, probably Dies Irae it is ear shattering Classical Heavy

So. Central Rain - R.E.M.

Ahahaha...

I was thinking it would be too obscure to be the one I was thinking of...(though of course, you never know) "Jerusalem" by Sleep is a 50something minute heavy metal song...

Ozzy Osbourne- Crazy Train

Ozzy Osbourne- Crazy Train

I remember running up and down the high school halls with that song playing at full volume on my ghetto-blaster. God, did all 'Joe Jackson-listening' kids hate me...

:cool:

Highway to Hell
AC/DC rocks!

Queen " '39 "

Its a song that deals with the effects of a spaceship travelling near the speed of light and the resulting variance in the amount of time you experience and the amount of time everoyne else, such as your lover, experiences.It's a great song. Pretty much everything on A Night at the Opera is. One of my other favourite songs after The Prophet's Song is Death on Two Legs, which is also on said album.

Guns n' Roses - November rain


Allthough Bohemian Rhapsody made by Queen rocks to :D

Stinkfist by Tool. The big crescendo is just beautiful.

Iron Maiden's Hallowed Be Thy Name.

ooooooooooooooooooooohhh.


now i must clean up

Nine Inch Nails - The Hand That Feeds


Until the very end of me, dudes!!!

Hell yes, it is. I'm still looking. Where *did* you get it, anyway?
Inquisition Symphony was from Utopia, in Sydney. They have quite a lot of Apo. Try JB Hi-Fi too, awesome metal section.

Weirdly I got Reflections from Borders. :eek:

And Cult was from Ebay.

TerrorForming by Lynx Raven Raide. i know i made it, but it does my head in every time i listen to it. fav song not by me? Zero Signal by Fear Factory

This is a tough one... I'd probably end up going with either Dream Theater's A Change of Seasons or Symphony X's The Odyssey (although Queensryche's Eyes of a Stranger is a strong candidate as well).

All You Wanted by Michelle Branch. Amazing song, as well as an amazing video for it.

Metallica - Fade to Black
