what are your favourite songs...?:D

[Sacharissa]

Oh man...THAT ia a tough question...It depends..What mood am I in...What time of the year it is...Whether or not there's a full moon...

A couple of songs that continually pop up in my top 10 at any given time, however, are:

Nights in White Satin (Moody Blues)
Forever Autumn (Justin Hayward)
Moondance (Van Morrison)
California Nights (Leslie Gore)
Careless Whisper (WHAM!)Yeah - I know...I like the old stuff...Check again next week, and the results may be different...

[muffin-tacos]

Definitely a hard one. I become addicted to some songs for a period of time, where I'll listen to it over and over again, and others I can listen to for ages without getting bored of them.

My current addiction is Painted By Numbers by The Sounds. Oh, and I heard a song the other day called Heart of Glass by Blondie - really liked that one and I have to say that Lily Allen does a great job of singing it live (my mum was really surprised when I told her that I liked a Blondie song because it's not really my style of music and it turned out that Blondie was her old fav band!). And I can't diss Sweet Child O' Mine by Guns'N'Roses (that was my addiction a few weeks ago). There are so many more but I can't be arsed to type them all down. I'll check back with ya later maybe. :winks:

So what's your favourite song at the mo, butterfly?

I was just listening to this song and I just had to add it to my list: Politics by Korn. :biggrin:

Memory Remains by Metallica and Rape Me by Nirvana (I never get sick of that song and yeah, it's a weird title, I know) are good too. Run To The Hills by Ironmaiden is rather catchy as well. :)

[muffin-tacos]

Yep, it's me again. :D I just had to add this one to the list: Luv Addict by Family Force 5. I dunno why but that song makes me laugh every time I listen to it... (Man, my throat would really hurt if I sang like that every day.)

"Hold up wait a minute put a little love in it!"

[Lynet]

I discovered the yahoo music site yesterday because I was looking for a song I'd hear on the radio very rarely. Turns out it's Father Figure by George Michael. I listened to some of his other music. I also like several of the songs by Journey, particularly Open Arms, and I own three or four Enya CDs.

I am embarrassed to confess that I tend to go for the romantic, mushy songs that are often turned into elevator music (although I don't care for it in that transformation.)

I like certain operas, too, like TOSCA, the opera by Puccini. There's a lot of beautiful music in that one.

[Vega]

I like Enya too :) it's music that makes me dream :p

[Sacharissa]

Oooo - Journey...LOVE Separate Ways! I think I need to listen to it right now!

And yes, love Enya to, and of course, Clannad. Love that Celtic inspired music that, as Vega points out, makes you dream!

PS. Just looked up Vienna Teng, John. Sounds nice, the clips I found on Amazon. If I'd gone by most plays in the last six weeks I'd have populated my list with all of Cloud Cult's Meaning of 8 album instead of limiting myself to the track that led me to buy ... :p

[JohnEZ]

Yeah... there's something I love about her music. I'm glad you liked the clips too :D

If anyone is interested.... www.viennateng.com has a jukebox near the bottom right of the page that plays some of her songs. :)

[Lynet]

Oooo - Journey...LOVE Separate Ways! I think I need to listen to it right now!I should have mentioned Separate Ways. I forgot about that one until we were driving for three hours and I decided to play the Journey CD. I ALWAYS turn the volume way up on that song as soon as I hear the first chord. :o Not sure my husband (who was driving) was all that keen, but he didn't say anything.

Agreed! That is a FULL Volume song if ever there was one! And two more songs that need to be cranked up to Eleven: Born to be Wild (Steppenwolf) and Bat out of Hell (Meatloaf). Those two are part of my Road Trip playlist.

[Mirelly]

what are your favourite songs...?:D

Speaking of which ... doncha just hate it when someone comes along and asks a question and then doesn't hang around for the answer :rolleyes:

SBW ... I see we share a lot of musical tastes. :D

I first fell in love with the lovely lyrics and gentle voice of Leonard Cohen ... erm back in 1970 (oh gawd! :eek: ... teen-angst and high-school graduation pressures ... such pain needs musical melancholia like a motorcycle needs an ashtray, but as wrong as it seems, they just go together so darn well. I suspect that the reason why that is so forms a small but significant part of the meaning of life, the universe and everything. ;)

[surprised_by_witches]

It's Cohen's lyrics that haunt me. I didn't even know who he was until my mid twenties, but he really speaks to me. We had a friend who plays the accordion play Dance Me to the End of Love and Vienna for us, instrumental only, at our wedding. Believe it or not, that's the perfect instrument for those songs.

Dance me through the curtain that our kisses have outworn
Dance me to the end of love ...

The man can write, no doubt about it. I have an album of Jennifer Warnes singing his stuff: she has a lovely voice. Have you heard it?

I like your list, too. I'd definitely road trip with you! :D

[Lynet]

All this talk of road trips reminds me of a trip I took with my daughter, just the two of us, out to Milwauki. She brought some of her tapes for us to listen to. One was Shakespears Sisters, probably Hormonally Yours, (looking it up in Wikipedia I recognize the album cover and the list of songs.)

I just love those quirky songs, every one of them. I recall that while my daughter dozed, I listened to the tape as we headed west along an endlessly arrow-straight highway, into the sunset, surrounded by flat snowcovered fields (a February trip). The snow was colored by the sunset. No on else was on the road. It was incredibly beautiful and the Sisters music seemed to go with it, particularly, Hello.

[Jazz]

My favorite songs:
Smooth, Santana with Rob Thomas


Yes! Love it!

Some of mine are,

I Hate Myself for Loving You, Joan Jett
Dashboard, Modest Mouse
Stairway to Heaven, Led Zeppelin
This is How a Heart Breaks, Rob Thomas
We Didnt Start the Fire, Billy Joel
Float On, Modest Mouse
Cherry Pie, Warrant
Invisible, Clay Aiken
More Than a Feeling, Boston
You Spin Me 'Round (Like a Record) ((forgot artist))

And there was one more by Eurythemics that I forgot the name of... I think it starts with M... hmm... this will bother me all night. Pretty old songs for a tween eh?
