All time favorite song?

[hickman1937]

Mine used to be Unchained Melody till some butt wipe out it in a b movie. This was my second, and now favorite. Why did Motown die?

1. "I Go Crazy" by Paul Davis

I don't know why, but it haunts me.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

9. He also did "Sweet Life," "'65 Love Affair" and "Cool Night"

2. No One Is To Blame -Howard Jones

Don't Speak -No Doubt

I don't know, too many to list just one. Those are two that I like though.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

4. I like the original No One is To Blame

that was released on the LP..but not the polished version that Phil Collins reproduced with him.

[Wetzelbill]

15. Yeah me too

good call

[caty]

3. "If Ever You're in My Arms Again"

by P. Bryson----just one of my favorite songs.

but I make it up with equal doses of sweetness and cuteness.

7. MY FAVORITE THINGS

Followed by THE GIRL FROM IPANEMA

[tuvor]

10. Ooh. Girl From Ipanema.

One of MY favourite things. Actually, just about any Astrud Gilberto.

Seriously, though, I could never come up with a single favourite song.

[hickman1937]

45. Just for you.

The Sound of Music Soundtrack Lyrics
Artist: Maria Lyrics
Song: My Favorite Things Lyrics
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad

[Zuni]

8. God only Knows by the Beach Boys

[hickman1937]

12. Oh yes, followed closely by "In My Room".

Brian Wilson was a big fan of Motown.

[Liberalynn]

11. I guess if I had to pick one Life Is A Celebration

by Rick Springfield. Was on one of his earlier lesser known albums "Wait For Night"

but I also love "In the Living Years" by Mike and the Mechanics

"Hero" by Mariah Carey (Laugh if you want but hearing that one actually helped pull me out of a really dark spot in my life once.)

Shades of Gray and also Sometime In The Morning by the Monkees

"Blowing in the Wind" Bob Dylan

[hickman1937]

14. "In The Living Years", damn I love that song too. n/t

[Floogeldy]

13. Close To The Edge

By Yes.

:smoke:

[hickman1937]

18. I liked "And You and I" more.

:hi: :toast:

[Floogeldy]

28. You have great taste in music!

:beer:

[hickman1937]

40. But if you're a true Yes fan/ guitar player, your supposed to like

Siberian Cantru or what ever the name of that song was. I just googled it, and nothing. The Yes fanatics at Mich Tech told me that you don't know Yes till you understand that song. Huh?

[Floogeldy]

44. Siberian Khatru

There is no real understanding. Frankly, I'm not sure even Yes understands it, totally.

It might be more about taking a stab at it, feeling satisfied, and enjoying the emotions that well up inside you as a result.

What a great song!

Sing, bird of prey
Beauty begins at the foot of you

:)

[Glorfindel]

16. "All You Need Is Love" by The Beatles

Nice song, nice message...I guess my generation is showing!

:smoke:

[Floogeldy]

33. Good choice.

:)

[Glorfindel]

37. Thanks!

:pals:

[JimmyJazz]

20. Complete Control - the Clash.

[u4ic]

21. Urge for Going by Joni Mitchell

[progmom]

22. Mahalia Jackson & Duke Ellington - Come Sunday

or Acknowledgment - Coltrane (from A Love Supreme)
or Ella Fitzgerald - In a Mellow Tone

[elshiva]

24. Flamingos Fly by Van Morrison

[elshiva]

25. Dupe

[Glorfindel]

29. I can remember "Unchained Melody" being wildly popular 3 times

First in the 50's when the movie "Unchained" came out (I think it's the best version); second when the Righteous Brothers first recorded it in the 60's; and then when the movie "Ghost" came out. Who knows? Maybe there'll be a fourth.
:hi:

[hickman1937]

32. I think Al Green was the first, followed by Bobby Hatfield.

But I'm not sure.

[nine23]

31. "I Can See Clearly Now" by Johnny Nash

A timeless, international trans-cultural song of optimism.

[hickman1937]

36. All Jonny Cash's songs were trans-cultural.

He was truly one of a kind. I miss him.

[sleepyhead]

35. Question - by the Moody Blues.

Or maybe Find the River by REM. Or You Can't Hurry Love by the Supremes. Depends on the mood I'm in.

[hickman1937]

38. Also "I fall to Pieces" by Patsy Cline, and " Turn, Turn, Turn"

by the Byrds. Reminds me of 1967, when this country still had dreams.

[Lindsey]

39. A Day in the Life - The Beatles/ N/T

[southlandshari]

41. "Let's Get it On" by Marvin Gaye.

42. Yes. And "What's Goin On?".

Another one lost too soon.

[LibinMo]

43. Good Vibrations by the Beach Boys

[liberaltrucker]

46. Bohemian Rhapsody

I think Freddy had a premonition:cry:

[RandomKoolzip]

47. "Do Ya," The Move.

Closely followed by "This Ain't No Picnic" by the Minutemen.

has been and always will be
