What is your favorite (Or top 3) favorite songs of all time?

[timoc]

No, I won't tell you my favourite songs, you'd all start calling me grandad.

 

[Rossana]

Count On Me - Jefferson Starship
Moondance - Van Morrison
Lonestar - Norah Jones

 

[IrishEyes]

1st always and foremost :

2nd for the love of my Grand Daughter and being away from her.

3rd for the love I feel for my sons

Yes, I am very sentimental with my favorites

Great grandad.....

 

[KSav]

I couldn't tell you what my 3 favourite songs are there are too many....but here are 3 of the ones I hate the most....

Mull of Kintyre - Paul of McCartney


Chic - Le Freak


Send in the clowns - Judy Collins


there are more but those 3 come to mind immediately.......

I hate Send in the Clowns, too, @hollydolly! I find it terribly depressing. And I've already agreed with you on Mull of Kintyre.

I'm not too keen on Le Freak, either.

 

[KSav]

Le Freak, brings back my disco days

Yes! And roller skating, for me.

 

[KSav]

As others have said, it's virtually impossible to narrow this down to just three, plus my favorites are in a constant state of flux, but right now I'd go with these three:

Because ~ Beatles

Please Be With Me ~ Eric Clapton

Welcome to the Black Parade ~ My Chemical Romance (I love the video almost as much as the song)

 

[Jackie23]

Three that would be way up on my long list of favorites....

Hey Jude
Blowin' In The Wind
Wonderful Tonight

I think we're sisters from another mister...lol

 

[hollydolly]

Anyway...if out of the 3 million favourites of mine.... here's 3 which are just a random 3 not the top 3


George Harrison - What is life

Barbra Streisand /Barry Gibb- Come Tomorrow

Elgins- Put yourself in my place

 

[hollydolly]

Yes! And roller skating, for me.

roller disco for me will always have me recall this song which was played at least once every Saturday morning at the rink... evey time I hear it, I'm transported straight back to being 14 years old at the Disco Roller Rink

 

[-Oy-]

Oooooh that's a toughie!

I'll give three of my top faves as it depends a lot on mood etc.

1. Tom Waits - Searching for the heart of Saturday night

2. Pink Floyd - Time

3. Rush - La Villa Strangiato

 

[hollydolly]

Another 3 of my Faves...

Teach your children well -- Crosby Stills, Nash & Young

Aubrey - Bread......

Elbow- One day like this

 

[Trade]

If I had to pick just one, this would be it.

 

[dobielvr]

If I had to pick just one, this would be it.

Would it be blasting from your radio in your Woodie, with a surfboard on top?!!

 

[OneEyedDiva]

It is impossible for me to choose only three but I'm still thinking of what the top three might be.

 

[MarkinPhx]

Just like others, it is hard for me to pick a favorite. I guess a favorite song would be the one I was listening to (by choice) at the moment. But if I was forced to pick one, this would be it. I do love the original version but also enjoy listening to the many covers of the Bowie classic.

Nice cover by Moby and Mindy Jones

My surfing days are long over. I did quite a bit of small wave surfing at Clearwater Beach back in 1966 and 67. A buddy of mine and I bought a used 9'11" Greg Noll longboard for $60 bucks. $30 bucks each. That was back before leashes and special surf wax. We'd use Gulf Wax parafin that is used for canning. We'd melt in an old sauce pan and pour it on the board. It worked just fine.

 

[StarSong]

Welcome to the Black Parade ~ My Chemical Romance (I love the video almost as much as the song)

I LOVE this song, too!

No way I could list my top 3 favorite songs - I love so many.

However, two by The Rolling Stones have always been cringe-worthy. Under My Thumb and Brown Sugar.

Great music, detestable lyrics.

 

[MoBeans]

One song I never get sick of hearing is Fields Of Gold by Eva Cassidy.

Supposedly Sting was blown away when he heard her rendition of his song. He put a copy of her Songbird CD into record producer David Foster’s hands who quoted him saying, “‘If you want to hear the greatest version of my song ever’—he didn’t say it in an egotistical way—he said, ‘listen to Fields Of Gold with this girl, it’ll change your life.’

 

[Pinky]

Look In My Eyes .. Chantels
Father and Son .. Cat Stevens
At Last .. Etta James

So many others, mostly R&B, and Blues.

 

[StarSong]

@MoBeans, thank you, thank you, thank you for posting this song. I'd never heard of her nor heard her version but agree with you and Sting. Her rendition of "Fields of God" song brought tears to my eyes. Simply beautiful.
