Directors What's your Favorite Song...EVER ? (1 Viewer)

[Joseph Young]

the emotional importance of the memories attached to a song are often an crucial factor in what a person considers to be his/her favorite song

Exactly... which is why we could never agree on one song and why I don't have an all time favorite and never could. However in the spirit of the thread I nominate:

Martha by Tom Waits

Protection by Massive Attack

Love Will Tear Us Apart Joy Division

[Dome Vongvises]

"Layla" by Derek and the Dominos aka Eric Clapton

- Coda at the end is bittersweet

Honorable Mentions:

"Highway to Hell" by AC/DC

- It's AC/DC, nuff said

"Hey Jude" by The Beatles

[Janna S]

Southern Cross CSN

My favorite song tends to change every so often. Right now, it's a toss-up between Nil Lara's How Was I to Know and Poi Dog Pondering's God's Gallipoli.

 

[Jefe Noche]

It's way too hard too name just one.

So here's ten (no particuliar order):

"Heartbreaker"-The Rolling Stones

"How soon is now?"-The Smiths

"Peek-a-boo"-Siouxsie & The Banshees

"Let it be"-The Beatles

"Mysterious Ways"-U2

"When the Levee Breaks"-Led Zepplin

"Closer"-Nine Inch Nails

"Good Vibrations"-The Beach Boys

"So Lonely"-The Police

"Waiting for the Sun"-The Doors

Sort of random, but whenever I get asked (typical first date question...) I say Don't Follow by Alice in Chains. Something about that song...one of very few songs that I can remember where I was the first time I heard it.
