What are your favorite songs?
Are they primarily from an specific era, genre, or event in your life?
Mine range from late childhood to present. Some hold meaning... Others, I just liked that much.
Give me a top five!
Mine:
Take on me- ABBA
1979- Smashing Pumpkins
Mary Jane's Last Dance- Tom Petty
She talks to angels- The Black Crows
HRSA- Blue October
"Perhaps Love", sung by John Denver & Plácido Domingo.
I have this on an album from years ago....they were great singing together.
Too many to mention. Off the top of my head though:
she grew up tall she grew up right ......with them indiana boys on them indiana nights
I'm not saying that song was written about me, but I'm not saying it wasn't either. ?
#HoosierGal
My alltime favorite song in the universe:
A student asked me if I played piano so I played (with an emphases on pain) a bit of that while testing the electric piano for a school music program. She noted. That is a very sad song.
Also one of my favorite piano works.
Probably one of my all-time favorites: Def Leppard - Hysteria
I already left a post saying too many to list and I love a lot of classical songs too, but I have two favourites at the present and I am posting them here now. The first is Benny Andersson of ABBA’s song Give Me My Song sung by Bryn Terfel and Sissel Kyrkjebo and the second is Morten Harket singing his own song There Is A Place.
Oh and another Benny Andersson song sung by Sissel which I love....Like.An Angel Passing Through My Room.
I'm just going to post the 5 most listened to songs I have on iTunes. All 5 are Black Sabbath songs
Out of the 60 most listened to songs I have on iTunes, 3 are Ozzy Osbourne songs (#37, 38, and 57); the rest are Black Sabbath songs. lol. Can you tell who my favorite band is?
I'm gonna see Ozzy this weekend. He doesn't know it, but we are spending my birthday together!
@joeymf86 we just won't tell Sharon. Hehehe
I feel Blue October is severely underrated. I've traveled all over the midwest to see their live shows.
"The Dance" sung by Garth Brooks.
His last tour was very impressive. Three sold-out nights in Indy. He is returning to play at Notre Dame sometime in the winter
@Nichole765 I really do not care for Garth Brooks but this song has a very powerful meaning to life.
@jlynn37 yeah he's definitely not my genre. But to produce an album that will sell out shows after 15,20 years is impressive.
Limiting it to five is a difficult task! I am going to have to give this some substantial thought.
Yeah I really was undecided.
Those are the ones I always return to.
Finalized my list! In no order:
On the Turning Away-Pink Floyd
Am I Evil-Diamond Head
Rags to Riches- Tony Bennet
Promised Land-Chuck Berry
Fade to Black-Metallica
Love song - the cure
Don't fear the reaper - blue otster cult
Alabama song (whiskey bar) the doors
Honour - VNV Nation
Herion she said -wolfsheim
The Cure ?
I like you taste. ABBA is fabulous.
Honestly I only know that one ABBA song. When I had my first love interest (15, 16), it was "our song" ?
I think that Peter Paul and Mary songs are considered to be in the folk genre.
"Telephone Line", by Electric Light Orchestra
"Swamped", by Lacuna Coil

This song is on repeat in my son's room lately. The joys of having preteen boys. Thanks YouTube.
I feel for anyone subjected to repeated listenings of AC/DC agai st their will.

Judee Sill- Lamb Ran Away With the Crown
Steely Dan- Dr. Wu
The Band- Unfaithful Servant
John Prine- Paradise
Seals and Croft- Summer Breeze
Primarily, songs that are depressing, I have two different listening patterns. One is a cool type of casual listening, one is a more sad, meaningful type mood. This is definitely 70's music, with the exception of Unfaithful (69). This is the tip of the iceberg of music that I might deem as go to music.
Personal experience and the internet
Metallica's Hero of the Day, always.
Everything else depends on mood, yes?
Mostly anything lively you can sing to yourself in the car.
We could cruise "the L"
Yeah, I just said that.
@Nichole765 what is "The L"?
@Angus the L behind at the DG parking lot, turn right onto SR 28, then continue to Rickers.
Repeat. Repeat. Repeat
You didn't spend your teenage years in that area, did you?
@Nichole765
Nope. Originally from Ohio. Been in this state less than a decade.
Today's top song (thanks to marionville (she posted earlier) is
I am very much into the classics, opera, and soundtracks.
Abba is great but the 1st movie was - um - different. In the rock world:
Pink Floyd, Allen Parson's Project, Styx, B-52, Elton John
Era? for many yes, childhood.
