What's Your All Time Favorite Song?

[olderthandirt]

Lotta folks have commented it's hard to pick just one, repeat posters puts the proof to that! Lotta good stuff all round, this is the kinda thread that keeps things fun.

I gots lotta favorites and they cover the spectrum. Little bit of classical, touch o' the blues, dust slappin' beer drinkin' honkey tonk and of course Rock of most any style. There is a tune that I will stop damn near anything I'm about in order to just smile and feel good while it's playin' though...

I call shenanigans on this thread.

I grew up on Queen, but since they were posted here's a couple that were awesome back in the day.

(Excuse me) Is this a sort of madness? I can't fathom how y'all can chose just one, all time favorite song. I mean, most people instantly recognize tens of thousands of songs by the first few seconds of audio. I just don't understand how it is possible to chose ONE. I see this is a zombie thread. Alright, who dug it up? LOL

It's impossible for me. I could do a Top 1000 favorites. But, then I'd still have trouble narrowing it down.

 

[Malfeitor]

Easy one for me.

YouTube - King's X - Dogman

 

[karmatized]

easy one for me, in my life by the beatles

YouTube - John Lennon Tribute In My Life

 

[Janetda]

There is some great music here. I haven't gone through all the pages yet, so I don't know if this is here, but here's my all time favorite.

YouTube - Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah (Original Studio Version)

 

[WhatAClumsyGirl]

My all time favorite song...is probably one most of you havent heard ...it's an old Elton John song from his Yellow Brick Road Album...called...Harmony. Its always been my fav

 

[Janetda]

I love that whole album. Actually, I think it was the very first album I ever had.

 

[Viktro D'Vaping]

My all time favorite song is "When The Man Comes Around" by my favorite songwriter of all time, Johnny Cash.

And no, I do not like "country music"!!!

So many songs/artists to choose from. I've been listening to a lot of Allman brothers today, and it was a toss up between this and Whipping Post, but the live version was too long for youtube and it was split into two parts, kinda ruining the song.


YouTube - Allman Brothers - In Memory of Elizabeth Reed - 1970
