favorite songs — Page 8

Choosing a favorite song is an insane challenge, because there are so many to choose from, but if I narrow it down to classic rock, it would have to be The Who’s “Won’t Get Fooled Again.” 8 1/2 minutes of musical greatness in one song.

Lacrimosa by Immediate Music. Reason? If there was any natural disaster I couldn’t escape from, such as the crash of an asteroid, then I’d like to get on the roof of my house, listen to this song loudly and wait to die in an epic way.

I also like some ACDC songs, such as Highway to Hell and Rock n’ Roll Train. Reason? I just like them.

Another of my favourite song is Confortably Numb by Pink Floyd. The reason is that I listened to it a lot when I was a kid, because for some reason it was present in a lot of videos that had to do with UFOs and aliens, and since I used to watch a lot of these videos on YouTube as a kid, then I got attached to this song for that reason. It reminds me of my childhood. I know, it’s weird. XD

Almost anything from the 80s

I agree with this!

I really will listen to just about ANYTHING from the 60s, 70s and 80s, with maybe the exception of some really hard rock. Here’s a few of my most favorite songs(at the moment)

It’s Still Rock and Roll To Me- Billy Joel
Invisible Touch- Genesis
Dreams- Fleetwood Mac
Stand Back- Stevie Nicks
You Might Think- The Cars
Jesse’s Girl- Rick Springfield
Is She Really Going Out With Him?- Joe Jackson
Self Control- Laura Branigan
Into the Groove- Madonna
99 Red Balloons- Nena
Call Me- Blondie
The Reflex- Duran Duran
Don’t Stop Me Now- Queen
Born to Run- Bruce Springsteen
Part Time Lover- Stevie Wonder
Back on the Chain Gang- Pretenders
Who Can It Be Now?- Men at Work
Straight Up- Paula Abdul
Bette Davis Eyes- Kim Carnes
Changes- David Bowie
Eternal Flame- Bangles
Take It Easy- Eagles
Both Sides Now- Judy Collins
You’re So Vain- Carly Simon
Mr. Roboto- Styx

And I better stop now. There’s more, but I wanted to limit it to 25.(I tried to pick one per artist of a bunch of artists I thought of that I love, so it´s possible the song from one artist might not be my absolute favorite by them, because it’s hard) (Also note there’s no Beatles; it was so hard narrowing down, I AM a huge Beatle fan)

My favorite band is Queen, so you’re basically asking me to pick a favorite Queen song, which is impossible. I did rewatch Highlander recently for a podcast, so I’ve had a lot of their songs from the soundtrack stuck in my head.
I couldn’t list favorite songs. I could list favorite bands and artists, though. The aforementioned Queen, The Beatles (George Harrison’s probably my favorite), Pink Floyd, Frank Sinatra, Frank Zappa, The Who, “Weird Al” Yankovic, Tom Lehrer, Randy Newman, John Williams, Van Halen, Aerosmith, Billy Joel, David Bowie, Harry Nilsson, Warren Zevon, 70’s era Joni Mitchell, Erik Satie, The Doors.
As you can see, some of it is a bit eclectic, although I definitely favor stuff from the 60’s and 70’s.
