Favourite Song of all time - Why?

InsaneJediGirl · 04-08-2007, 09:18 PM

So what is everyone's favorite song of all time, and why?

Mine would have to be hands down Green Day's "Christie Road". It means a lot, all the good times with friends and now all of my friends in different directions, it still hits a similar cord(sans getting high

) Actually I think it means more since I have moved, since the song is depressing to begin with.

I've seen pictures of the actual Christie Road this song is about. Kind of looks like the places around where I live now, so kind of cool in a way too

I guess everyone/place does have a Christie Road.

Lyrics :

Staring out of my window
Watching the cars go rolling by
My friends are gone
I've got nothing to do
So I sit here patiently
Watching the clock tick so slowly
Gotta get away
Or my brains will explode

Give me something to do to kill some time
Take me to that place that I call home
Take away the strains of being lonely
Take me to the tracks at Christie Road

See the hills from afar
Standing on my beat up car
The sun went down and the night fills the sky
Now I feel like me once again
As the train comes rolling in
Smoked my boredom gone
Slapped my brains up so high

Give me something to do to kill some time
Take me to that place that I call home
Take away the strains of being lonely
Take me to the tracks at Christie Road

Mother stay out of my way of that place we go
We'll always seem to find our way to Christie Road

Mother stay out of my way of that place we go
We'll always seem to find our way to Christie Road

If there's one thing that I need
That makes me feel complete
So I go to Christie Road
It's home...

Wow, it is hard to try and figure out what that ONE song is that I would consider my favorite of all time...there certainly are alot of candidates, so I will just list them.

"Angel"-Jimi Hendrix (always been a favorite..great song, lyrics, and rythym plus nobody could play a guitar like Jimi)

"Dream On"-Aerosmith (its Aerosmith, and even better its classic Aerosmith..need I say more?)

"Stairway to Heaven"-Led Zeppelin (anyone who is a classic rock fan should love Led Zeppelin, no argument)

"Jeremy"-Pearl Jam (their first big hit, and still one of my favorites today..not only for the music side of it but for the message)

"Today"-Smashing Pumpkins (if you cannot live and enjoy today, well then all hope is lost

plus that album Siamese Dream is awesome anyway)

InsaneJediGirl · 04-08-2007, 10:25 PM

All excellent songs, its always hard to pick just one. "Jeremy" has to be the best Pearl Jam song, that really broke some molds in my opinion.

*Scandia* · 05-15-2007, 07:30 PM

"We are the champions" by Queen.

I am such a competitive overachiever. It totally fits my personality.

Swany · 05-16-2007, 07:22 PM

I cant choose, but one of my current favorites is "Open your eyes" by snow patrol. It reminds me of one of my friends. He sometimes preforms solo and that my fave song he does. Everytime I hear it I think of him.

Hes my scrubs buddy. I love him. <3

"We Fly High" By Jim Jones

The best song for heel heat and irritating white people, plus it's pretty good beat wise.

BALLIN'!!!

"Dare" or "The Touch" by Stan Bush. I love inspirational 70s & 80s hard rock. Plus I'm a Transformers junkie.

Or something from the Muppets. "Rainbow Connection," "Follow Me," "Lose Your Heart and It's Found" and "Let Me Be Your Song" are up there.

"Turtle Power" would also make my top 10 I think.

DARRE!, DARE TO BELIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEVE YOUUUU CAN SURVIVE!

I always liked "Nothing's gonna stand in our way" the best on that CD. That sound track is so dated, and cheezy but ooooh how I love it.

My favorite song is "Down in a hole" by Alice in Chains. it's a song I think pretty much everyone can relate to from time to time, and the music for it is just amazing to me. Layne and Jerry's vocal harmonies just blow me away.

I've told this story millions of times, but I have to again. I went to see Jerry Cantrell with Comes with the Fall about 2 weeks after Layne's death. He had (Actually, the new AIC Singer now) handling Layne's lines for all of the AiC songs they did. When they got to "Down in a hole" it was dedicated to Layne, but the crowd over powered William's voice and it became The Crowd doing Layne's lines, while Jerry did his. It was incredibly emotional and amazing.

Can any true music fan really pick one favorite song? JEEZ. About the best I can do is pick a favorite from several different genres:

Classic Rock
"I'm Your Captain" by Grand Funk Railroad

Heavy Metal
"Battle Hymn" by Manowar

Punk Rock
"Ballad of the Slaughterhouse" by The Pinkerton Thugs

Techno
"Gamemaster" by Lost Tribe/Paul Oakenfold

Hip-Hop
"Concrete Schoolyard" by Jurassic 5

I forgot to mention that one, that's my other fave from the album.

bullet · 06-04-2007, 01:06 AM

prolly artist in the ambulance ~ thrice. no particular reason, the song just speaks to me.

mk.2 · 06-04-2007, 01:29 AM

Seal's "Kiss From A Rose" and its Japanese cover version by Angela Aki.
There's no reson why I like this song, I just happen to like it. and Aki's voice is so sweet, it make the song much more pleasant.

And second favourite is "Here Without You" by 3 Doors Down.
This song bring back a good old memory.

bullet · 06-04-2007, 02:48 AM

kiss from a rose is awesome...also brings back a lot of memories.

Time Mistress · 06-04-2007, 11:40 AM

I love Kiss from a Rose. Anyone have a link to the Aki version? I'd like to hear it.

*Original TMNT Cartoon Fan* · 06-22-2007, 07:46 PM

"The Winner Takes It All" by ABBA (1980). I can't explain, I just like the song.

Nightwatcher · 06-22-2007, 09:05 PM

Fat Bottomed Girls by Queen followed closely by When the Levee Breaks by Zepplin

Because they rock

SassyGal · 06-22-2007, 09:56 PM

Perhaps Love by Placido Domingo & John Denver...I know, sappy, but it reminds me of my mom...she used to sing it when she would clean & she played it at night when she was reading or doing more clean up after us messy kids

Lady Venus · 06-24-2007, 05:21 PM

"Time has Come" - Pokemon

Song talking missing your bf and I think of my late mom as it.

I hear that! The Pumpkins are my favourite group of all time. But I don't know what my favourite song would be. There are too many. Probably "Romeo and Juliet" by Dire Straits.
