[steelemagnolia]

13. Into the Mystic

This is one of my favorites too! :-)

[MrSlayer]

9. Really, really hard.

Since my favorite band is Slayer and my favorite Slayer song is "Chemical Warfare" I guess that would have to be it. This is really tough though because so many songs move me.

[WinkyDink]

10. Tie: "Runaway" (Del Shannon) and "Sherry" (Four Seasons).

[HEyHEY]

23. I fucking love Runway n/t

[bamacrat]

31. Runaway is a great song..

When I was real little I used to like the show Crime Stories and that was the theme.

[Bjornsdotter]

59. Sherry

....was my absolute favorite when I was 2....the year it came out.

Cheers

[MissHoneychurch]

11. Imagine by John Lennon

powerful song. Just love it.

[hellbound-liberal]

12. Imagine is tough to beat but I will have to go with Blowin' In The Wind

due to the length of time that it has been important in my life. It's the first song that I remember as a child and it is still important today.

[underpants]

14. Driver 8 OR Bittersweet Symphony

[grace0418]

15. Thats tough. There are so many, and it kinda depends on the day. But if I chose

based on how often this particular song has moved me and the fact that Crowded House is my favorite band, I would have to go with "Walking on the Spot". Actually, though, the whole album of Together Alone is a masterpiece and should be played straight through. I think I did that for about 6 months straight when I bought it.

[PRETZEL]

16. All time favorite is probably

House at Pooh corner by Loggins and Messina with the Last Resort by the Eagles a real close second.

[stuntcat]

17. all time, Hallelujah.

No matter who sings it. I went to see k.d. lang the other night and she sang it and I cried through the whole song, it was the only time I'll see anyone sing it live probably and she's my favorite with it.

Makes me cry nearly every time I hear it.

I also want it played at my funeral, whether I die tomorrow or 70 years from now.

[gollygee]

18. Madonna of the Wasps

by Robyn Hitchcock

Or Life on Mars by David Bowie

My favorite changes from day to day

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield. If I had to take only one CD to a desert island type thing.

[masshole]

Bake

[taterguy]

41. John Lee Hooker and Van Morrison's Never Get Out of These Blues Alive

Maybe not the best song ever but it happens to be what I'm listening to right now and it's quite stunning. Two unique vocal talents that sound great together

[LanternWaste]

42. 'Silent Night' by Simon and Garfunkle.

Today it's the cover of 'Silent Night' by Simon and Garfunkle.

Tomorrow, it'll probably be something else.

[Bake]

48. Nothing sappy about that!

One of the classics. It will still be around 100 years from now (assuming we're still around ... ahem).

Bake

[malta blue]

47. Blossom - James Taylor

Blossom

Blossom, smile some sunshine down my way lately, I've been lonesome.
Blossom, it's been much too long a day, seems my dreams have frozen, melt my cares away.

Send the sunshine down my way whenever you call my name,
I know what you mean to say to me, girl, it's all the same.

Blossom, there's any empty road behind, sit you down beside me.
Blossom, there's a sweet dream on my mind, there's a song inside me, take these chains away.

Now, send the sunshine down my way whenever you call my name,
I know what you mean to say to me, girl, it's all the same.

Blossom, smile some sunshine down my way lately, I've been lonesome.
Blossom, it's been much too long a day, seems my dreams have frozen, melt my cares away.
La la la la la la la…..

[Az]

49. Another for Imagine

Really hard to beat that one. It has it all.

[Tikki]

Mr. Chris Kenner

and "I Don't Wanna Go Down To The Basement"......RAMONES

Tikki

[FloridaJudy]

57. Love "Land of a Thousand Dances"!

Actual lyrics:

I say Nah!
Nah-Nah Nah!
Nah-Nah-Nah!
Nah-Nah-Nah-Nah-Nah-Nah!
Nah-Nah-Nah-Nah!

Pretty easy to remember.

[Magrittes Pipe]

51. I'm Sick of You

Iggy and the Stooges

[alarimer]

52. Gulf Coast Highway

by Nanci Griffith.

Lots of people have covered it. Usually done as a duet.

[hellbound-liberal]

55. Though my first choice is Blowin' in the Wind. I have to also mention Abraham, Martin and John

The other one in my top three is Imagine. I have been questioning our actions since I was young and have been seeking peace ever since.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

56. Here's one of them...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KC3p69vjD10
Randy's voice always sounds fried; but his arrangements are exquisite. And I love the simplicity of his singing.

[Bjornsdotter]

58. Maggie Mae

..by Rod Stewart. Always, always makes me smile.

Cheers

[Adsos Letter]

60. As a bunch of others have noted, this is really hard...

...depends on my mood, what I'm doing, time of year, etc.

Right now I'm thinking "We Have Heaven" by Yes, on the Fragile album (Ha!...ALBUM...old man walks off muttering to self)


...but it could just as easily be "Ventura Highway" by America.

[redqueen]

61. used to be 'in your eyes' by peter gabriel...

now, i don't know

[MysticalChicken]

63. "Magic Carpet Ride" by Steppenwolf.

Yeah, kind of cheesy, I know. Especially since it's ten years older than I am. But I love it so much.

Either that, or "Peaches" by the Presidents of the United States of America. At least I was alive when that song came out (I was fifteen, but not into alternative music yet).

[YDogg]

64. This is the Song that Never Ends

[InternalDialogue]

65. Carolina In My Mind

Midnight Train To Georgia also pleases me greatly.

Oddly, I've never lived either place.

[Steven_S]

66. Tarkus - Emerson, Lake & Palmer..

Tool - The Grudge

Tool - Reflection

[kwassa]

67. "Wild Nights" by Van Morrison

heard it on a store PA system today and had to start dancing.
