Favorite song of all time?

[Norsehawk]

Just wondering what peoples favorite songs are of all time. I am sure this will get some reactions from nice old stuff as well as some brand new songs that are peoples favorite song.

For me, it would be:
Guns N Roses - Sweet Child of Mine

with

Styx - Renegade as a close second.

Everything But The Girl - Missing

[broadwayrock]

'God only knows' by the Beach Boys.

Perfect lyrics.

Perfect arrangement.

Perfect performance.

Perfect production.

Perfect.

Perpetual Dawn - The Orb

Popular Follow-up: Bizzare Love Triangle - New Order

[Sandcrab]

Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven

[Caitlyn Marble]

Good god! I can't just pick one! Here's five:

1. A Reminder - Radiohead (just a b-side, but beautiful enough to be an album track)
2. Something - The Beatles
3. This Is A Low - Blur
4. 1979 - Smashing Pumpkins
5. Love Will Tear Us Apart - Joy Division

[Nooby Doo]

It's not my favourite but I was listening to "My Secret Place" by Joni Mitchell & Peter Gabriel when I read this thread. I also, like "God Only Knows" by the Beach Boys, great song.

Ken's Top 5 List

1.) Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven

2.) The Doors - The End

3.) Lynyrd Skynyrd - Freebird

4.) John Lennon - Imagine

5.) Aerosmith - Dream On


**In actuality, I had trouble with this because I included the best (stairway to heaven) but decided not to include any more Zeppelin. Otherwise the top 5 would have had maybe 3 Zeppelin.**

[Serps]

All time favorite.

Dusty Springfield ~ Son Of A Preacher Man.

[Enkil]

Aaliyah - Don't know what to tell ya

[Da Game]

David Banner....Like a Pimp

[Sk8er Boi]

Umm,, I don't know. I'm thinking probably Closing Time by Semisonic or Here's To The Night by Eve 6, oh and Everything You Want by Vertical Horizon.

It's almost impossible to narrow it down to one song. This is my favorite album of all-time. It's sort of a concept album, so it's kind of like one song. The songs all follow the same theme. Great album!!!!

[Aaron73153]

Sandcrab has it right, Stairway to Heaven is simply the greatest song, good lyrics, a great guitar solo and the ability to affect your emotions.

Ken's list is also wonderful, especially is freebird is the live version from Atlanta.

[TC75580]

The Clash - Train In Vain

[matstao]

It's too hard for me to pick even a short list of favorites, so I'll go with my favorite song title:

What Need Have I for This; What Need Have I for That; I am Dancing at the Feet of My Lord; All is Bliss; All is Bliss.
