Just wondering, what is your all time favourite song??

I am still thinking of mine. At the moment I am stuck between:

Brand New Day by Sting, Fragile by Sting and Numb by The Pet Shop Boys.

What are yours??

Has to be Bohemian Rhapsody

Car Expert

On My Own

for now - I change my mind quite often

For now I would guess Musica.. Although there are so many great songs out there its impossible to choose!

season of love from the musical RENT(it is also my favourite musical)
it is about measuring your life by how much love you give out and recieve.
i really love this song, it is so meaningful to me, it is very sad the composer died so early and he only made this musical famous

Echo beach by Martha and the Muffins

Dance the Night Away by the Mavericks

Bohemian Rhapsody and O Holy Night.
(Quite fond of George Michael's Careless Whisper... )

EDIT - Forgot about Paradise by the Dashboard Light!

I don't think I could decide.

EDIT - Forgot about For Crying Out Loud

For me it's got to be Meatloaf, 'Two out of Three Aint Bad' closely followed by Elton John 'Can you feel the love tonight'.

hillyb

"To be with you" Mr Big. Most of you too young to remember it I think!!

Me neither. Four popped into my head straightaway!

I love that too but I find it quite interchangable with Somewhere Out There - I tend to get muddled and switch lyrics as I'm crooning in the bath.

I remember dancing to that in the Sixth Form discos
Beverley.

I love Meatloaf 'It's all coming back to me now'. Not my all time favourite, dunno if I could choose one.

There's so many....Meat's Two Outta Three and Paradise...Bon Jovi's Bed of Roses, Saturday Night...Dire Straits Romeo and Juliet...Vertical Horison Best I Ever Had...Oh I don't know!

Ooh, and Seasons of Love is great - I must see Rent sometime

Bohemian Rhapsody also Nat King Cole singing that Christmas song but that's probably because it reminds me of my dad (passed away 18 years ago ) Billie Jean and Vienna are amongst my favourites also

I prefer soft, melodic songs really. My all time faviourite I think has to be We Have All the Time in the World by Louis Armstrong.

Have just finished loading a few hundred CDs into iTunes, and in the process rediscovered lots of old favourites: Morphine - Cure for Pain, Martin Stephenson and the Daintees - Wholly Humble Heart, Aztec Camera - Oblivious / Somewhere in My Heart, lots of other 80s stuff. Also love Aretha singing "Say a Little Prayer" and "Son of a Preacher Man", in fact lots of Motown stuff. Mustn't forget Simon & Garfunkel Bridge over Troubled Water and Sound of Silence. And now I come to think of it I realise I've lost a Fine Young Cannibals CD somewhere.....Oh and I heard Kirsty McColl's version of "In These Shoes" on the radio the other day, it makes me smile every time I hear it. Now I've joined the iPod generation I must see if I can download it. Don't think I'll ever be able to choose an all time favourite.

I have been listening to a Police Cd and Englishman in New York and Seven Days are definitely two of my favourites. Englishman in New York reminds me of my brother who lives over there

Love will find a way by Lionel Richie

I love that song ! Is your brother enjoying NY?

That's so hard!!!
Bohemian Rhapsody is amazing
You've got a Friend by Carole King always makes me cry now
Streets of London, not sure who it's by, has that chord sequence which I love and is just so comforting, also reminds me of sitting on a school playground in the dark at a camping and caravanning club folk group meet with one guy singing and playing his guitar and the rest of us singing along if we knew it or just listening.
Time by Sandi Thom is one of my favourite new songs at the moment.
Also I think Kirsty MacColl is great, love her voice and her songs, especially There's a Guy works down the Chip Shop Swears he's Elvis

I'm not quite sure, apart from a christmas card this year we hadnt heard from him for nearly four years, apparently he is sending a letter. --- No news is good news right?

It reminds me of him because he is 'an Englishman in New York'

"I'm a legal alien !" Yes I guess no news is probably good news. That's what I reckon when my (grown-up) kids are away from home.

Was this song written for Quentin Crisp? I think it was.

Yes it was

Good gracious, I didn't know that. You learn something new here every day.

I thought it was. Quentin once said if you left a house dirty long enough, it would start to clean itself!! Some advice I've taken on board, and practice regularly!!

Kirsty MacCll's voice was awesome. She gets my vote (with the Pogues) for best christmas song.

Streets of London was by Ralph McTell I think.

Ah, Ralph McTell and Kirsty MacColl - VIVA CROYDON!!!!

.... who once showed Billy Connolly round London and GOT LOST.

Anyway. All-time favourite song: Poisoning Pigeons in the Park, by Tom Lehrer. In fact anything by Tom Lehrer.

Bright young things... The Pet shop boys...

This is a brilliant song

Oasis - She's Electric

Jeff Buckley & Liz Fraser - All Flowers in Time

It's been my fav for a fair while now.

My favourites have to be by Jake Thackery. Personal Column and Isobel Makes Love Upon National Monuments are perhaps my two top songs.

More to add - Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol
Also Same Jeans by The View. Everyone's been singing it at school.

YEY!! I'm not the only one with some sense.

That is the most amazing song ever!!

I know!! Only thing is it does make me think of a certain someone... which isn't always good...

Both fab songs Not sure if they will make the 'best ever' list, time will tell.

same, I love anything by Snow Patrol!
one of my favourite songs has to be Collide by Howie Day.
I don't think it's too well known, but I think it's a great song.
you could find it on Yahoo Music...
(if you do, She Says is really good too)

At the moment, I am into 'Grace Kelly' by Mika... anyone else?

Does anyone have the album... is it any good?

I don't really have an "all-time" favourite... It changes as my mood changes...

Atm, however, I'm really into "London Calling" (the album) by The Clash... All the tracks on that CD are great! But I especially like "The Card Cheat" and "Koka Kola" right now!

I've not heard that yet, but everyone's talking about it!!! Hmmm, I have lots of songs I like. At the moment I like REM. My favourites are E-bow the Letter and Drive. I also love Hoppipolla which was the advert song for Planet Earth . It's by Sigur Ros.

Yep I love that song!!

At the moment I'm also liking Rooftops - Lostprophets and What's Left of Me - Nick Lachey. Oooh yeh also, Whistle for the choir - The Fratellis

I'm still in love with Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars, and also Athlete - Wires.

Also liking My Chemical Romance - Welcome to the Black Parade.

My musical styles vary greatly.

Mine has to be "Green Green Grass of Home" by Tom Jones

reminds me of my father and was played as his coffin left the church ... and it still bring a tear to my eye!!

I love all three of those songs!! Also "They don't make mirrors like they used to" and "Pink and the Lily" by Sandi Thom. Don't think you can hear them anywhere though, I went to a concert on Monday and they're on her album but that doesn't some out until the end of the summer!!
