What's your favorite song?

I am stuck in the 80's and 90's. I turn on the radio, and I do not like most of the songs played today. Actually, I can't remember the last time I picked up a 'new' song.

So.. I am looking for good songs to add to my iPod! What's your favorite song?

Lean On Me is my all time favorite song in the whole entire world. However, I do prefer music 90s and back all the way to the 50s.
I am more of a country fan than anything. There is a bazillion awesome country songs though.

Reba McEntire is pretty much the only country singer I have on my playlist, lol.

Since i am hearing impaired, lyrics doesn't really matter TOO much to me.. I'd rather to just listen to the beauty of the voices.. Susan Boyle's voice.. OMG! I could listen to her sing and vocalize all day, lol.

Yeah, Susan is really amazing!

It's so hard to pick just one---depends on my mood. I'm going to give you a short list of a few of my mp3 favorites.

Without You---Harry Nilsson
Wild Horses---Susan Boyle
It's a Hard Life---Queen
I Need You---the Beatles
Against All Odds---Phil Collins
Not as We---Alanis Morrisette
The Stolen Child---Loreena McKennitt
Halleluia---k.d. lang
Instant Karma---John Lennon
Rhymes & Reason---John Denver
I Drove All Night---Cyndi Lauper

All time favourite Is Lola by The Kinks!!

Its mine and Blaines song, Its the first song we heard together on our first date but both of our favourite songs, strange when you listen to the words but it is a fabulous song

Anything by Lionel Richie with or without the Commodores.

Street Spirit by Radiohead or Thru The Eyes of Ruby by The Smashing Pumpkins

My taste in music spans far and wide across the Globe!

My absolute favourite music genre is Metal! However, I'm also a huge fan of Classical leaning towards the more contemporary classical which is very close to metal

If I had to pick a favourite song, I couldn't come up with just one, but I really love these 2 by a Japanese singer named Kokia.

Say Hi!

Arigatou

My all time favorite is Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen.
Since you're looking for newer stuff, you might want to try Radiohead, Sigur Ros...

Colder Weather by Zac Brown Band. I love the lyrics and I love the sound of it.

OMG, that video is priceless! Didn't think anyone could do so much in a hatchback! Loved the drum set

I love almost anything from the '70's, '80's, and early '90's. As long as it's not mainstream, I don't mind it. But all this Linkin Park, Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, etc. I can't stand it.

My favorite song of the last little while is The Aftermath - Iron Maiden

Currently Im addicted to Jason Aldean. LOL so anything he has done is a fav. Luke Bryan "Country Girl Shake It For Me" and fudge I cant remember his name but the guy that sings the back road song..you know "Put a little gravel in my travels" LOVE that song especially when Df sings it..

Oh and just about anything Rascal Flatts...<3

awesome, lots to listen to and possibly buy tonight

Etta James did "Crossroads"? Wow, I have to find that. I just love her! I love how she belts out "I Just Want to Make Love to You".

My co-worker really likes Robert Johnson.

Do you know where I could find that song?

Thanks!

What kind of music do you like? You have to understand that for me, the "oldies" station doesn't play oldies, it just plays music...

And, of course, the "favorite song" would depend a little on the time and place.

I have an old album of Christian folk/traditional music called "Country Church." It was considered pretty radical for its time (1970 or so), but today it's very tame and comforting. A group named "Wedgwood" did it, and it brings back great memories. A few songs from it:

There's A Light
Arise and Shine
I've Got a Home

One of my all-time favorite songs is "Somewhere Over China," by Jimmy Buffett. But I have a lot of favorites from him.

Somewhere Over China

We saw a "Beatles tribute" group this summer, and I was amazed at how good a lot of their songs still are.

Ticket to Ride
Here Comes the Sun
Intro, etc.

But, if you're stuck in the '80s, I would guess I'm talking too old for you. How about "Video Killed the Radio Star," by the Buggles? The first song ever played on MTV. In fact, in that genre, I'd go with "Money For Nothing," by Dire Straits.

Am I getting warm yet?
