OOoooooooooHHHH....I would red rep you if people didnt get all uppity about it ;)

Re: Best Song Ever??
 

Errr-why? :erm: :confused:

Re: Best Song Ever??
 

Cos you'd bloody well deserve it with those choices !!!!!! ;)

Re: Best Song Ever??
 

Excellent choice for your No 1 others abit dodgy thou ;) :D


Wot no Floyd ;)

Re: Best Song Ever??
 

Why is there a tie-breaker question when all you're doing is voting for the best song? :confused:

Re: Best Song Ever??
 

surprisingly not for me, either, notwithstanding 'Comfortably Numb', although 'I've got a bike' deserves a mention :)

- and in a similar vein 'Pressed Rat & Warthog' by Cream :D

but my real choices would be

Come up & See Me (make me smile) by Cockney Rebel
My Way by Frank Sinatra
In the Ghetto by Elvis

- strange choices - I dunno? They all 'grab' me in different ways - I don't even like Elvis, usually, for example.

Re: Best Song Ever??
 

OK my votes
U2 - So Cruel
Massive Attack - Unfinished Sympathy
UB40 - One in ten.

Re: Best Song Ever??
 

There have been far too many great songs for me even to be able to start compiling a top 20 let alone a top 3 but I'd have to say With or Without You by U2 would be near the top as would 'My Sacrifice' by Creed.

Re: Best Song Ever??
 

Massive Attack - Unfinished Sympathy

Thread closed. No Arguments, nuffin.

:D

Robbie Williams :rofl:

Re: Best Song Ever??
 

Who ? :rofl:

My list - Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
David Bowie - Space oddity
John Lennon - Imagine

All pretty even for me - although the Queen song has the edge for personal reasons :naughty:

Atomic Kitten................. :confused: :confused: :erm: :D

Re: Best Song Ever??
 

What's wrong with Atomic Kitten ?

Re: Best Song Ever??
 

Let's not diss each others choices in songs please.

Listening to music like art appreciation is such a subjective issue.I cannot choose myself because so many of the songs I like are played for the memories they bring.

So dissing someone's taste in music is like peeing on their memories.:(

Re: Best Song Ever??
 

Too true. I apologise...............

Good job I didn't post my original choice....Mysterious Girl by Peter Andre.

Re: Best Song Ever??

Re: Best Song Ever??
 

i agree with that choice neil :D
but need to think about the other chooses..... hard decision

Re: Best Song Ever??
 

And both written by the same guy ;)

Re: Best Song Ever??
 

went for
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
Pink Floyd - Interstellar Overdrive - 10 minuts of Physh freek out from the legend Syd Barrett
Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter

what someone should do is go though these polls from the last 10 years and then add them up.. half the stuff in them disappears after a few years and it's only the queens, beatles etc that keep appearing

Third Eye Blind - Semi Charmed Kinda Life
Phanton Planet - Somebodys Baby
Michelle Branch - Everywhere

Re: Best Song Ever??
 

https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2004/06/14.gif What I would give to be perfect :p:

Re: Best Song Ever??
 

I can't choose three...so difficulr. But one record I can listen to over and over is Eva Cassidys' Songbird. :)

Re: Best Song Ever??
 

Not to mention Norah Jones' 1st album....;) :angel: :D

Re: Best Song Ever??
 

I saw them perform it at Knebworth in 1975 - absolutely awesome :cool: - and whatever the maths, we have all become 'Comfortably Numb' :D

Re: Best Song Ever??
 

I'm green with envy Homealone........Dave Gilmours guitar playing sends a tingle down ya spine ;)

Re: Best Song Ever??
 

3? Only 3?!

1) Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under the Bridge

2) Portishead - Glory Box

3) Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)

Re: Best Song Ever??
 

I've not been to a 'modern' outdoor arena concert - like, say, when Neil saw Robbie at Knebworth, last year. ;)

- but for 1975 the sound system and on-stage effects; including the plane which ran down about ½ a mile of wire from a crane, to explode at the back of the stage; were phenomenal ;) :cool:

- there was more than a 'tingle' going on ;)

Re: Best Song Ever??
 

:D I know what you mean ;)

I saw some good bands back in the '70's original AC/DC, Led Zep, Bowie, Focus

Re: Best Song Ever??
 

Another Floyd favourite is Granchester Meadows, from the Ummagumma (sp) album.
On a good stereo system or better, the sound as the waterfowl lifts off from the water is fantastic as it flies around the room.:cool:

Re: Best Song Ever??
 

Her second is just as good! And I'm off to see her at Althorpe Park in a couple of weeks! :D

Re: Best Song Ever??
 

I'd say that no-one even closely approaches Schubert when you're talking about the best song ever. As he wrote over 600 of them, it makes a choice rather difficult but my personal vote is for Gretchen am Spinnrade, An die Musik or Ellens Gesang III (better known as Ave Maria).

Re: Best Song Ever??
 

My votes are :- :)

1) Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody

2) Bryan Adams - Summer of '69

3) Ultravox - Vienna

Re: Best Song Ever??
 

What is with all the old people music? :)


METALLICA - No Leaf Clover

Re: Best Song Ever??
 

Well, I love so many songs, it's hard to pick 3, but here's mine

1) Insomnia by Faithless.
2) Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen
3) One vision by Queen

Re: Best Song Ever??
 

What type of music are we limited to here? If there are no restrictions I would choose
1.) Sam Barber - Adagio for strings (or the vocal version agnus die, the main theme to homeworld) as this is the only song ever to bring a tear to my eye :bigcry:
2.) Safri Duo - Played alive (for the fact that it is the only song I have liked consistently since it was released 3 - 5 years ago, and it has such an amazing sound to it)
3.) The Darkness - I believe in a thing called love ( this song can im prove my playing performance on any on-line game for some reason :shrug: , I remember my mate tearing me to shreds in C&C renegade until this song came up on my play-list, he never got a single good hit in after this as he never had time to shoot :D )

Re: Best Song Ever??
 

I love addagio for strings, but it was used much more effectively in the movie "Platoon" than it was in the game Homeworld.


However heres my revised listing.
In no particular order:-

Sweet home alabama - Lynard Skynard
This is how it feels - inspiral carpets
Behind blue eyes - Limp bizkit
Freebird - lynard Skynard
The Hunt - New model army
Fortunate son - Credence clearwater revival
Crazy - Seal
Wonderfull tonight - Eric Clapton
Eleanor Rigby - The Beatles
Crazy Train - Ozzy Osbourne

Re: Best Song Ever??
 

My 3 choices were as follows

Lynard Skynard - Freebird
Lynard Skynard - Sweet home Alabama
Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Chile
