Favorite song list

[Tron Bonne]

I noticed there surprisingly wasn't a thread like this (unless I'm just blinded and didn't see it). But this is actually a bit of a misleading thread title, because it's not just about making a list of your favorite songs. For a personal project I'm doing, I'm compiling a list of 19-20 of my personal favorite songs, but also ones that had some kind of impact on me in some way. I figured it'd be interesting to chronicle it a bit here and have others do their own if they like. I know most won't be into that at all and will just want to throw out their personal favs (in fact, I suspect about half of people won't even look at this post and just post their list, which is fine). Feel free to give real reasons why you include the song, too.

Also, when I say something had an impact I don't necessarily mean something completely life altering or anything. It's okay if the impact of your song isn't as big as making you shave your head, sit under a tree, realize life is a dream and we all are simply waking life versions of ourselves. I mean, if you got that story, go for it, but I mean just something that made you think, struck you in an enigmatic way that keep it on repeat, inspired creativity, lost your virginity to and always brings memories back, etc. You get the idea.

Okay, anyway, here's my list thus far:

1. Once in a Lifetime - Talking Heads

I almost dare say this is kind of a self-explanatory one in a lot of ways. If you're heard this song at all you know the enigmatic nature and idiosyncratic style that only Talking Heads, David Byrne's unadulterated bizarreness and Brian Eno's genius could produce.

2. This Must be the Place (Naive Melody) - Talking Heads

This one is mainly the melody that has kept it on constant playlists of mine. But it does extend past the song itself a little to the brilliant Stop Making Sense concert where Byrne sings this lovely song about unabashed and naive love to a lamp.

3. World at Large - Modest Mouse

A song about living without a plan kind of reminds me of the endless journey motif that has always fascinated me. It's about searching for something that isn't there, because if you find it, the journey is over. The story of humanity in a nutshell. Also, like the one above, it does extend a bit past the song itself. I was first exposed to the song in AMV (a rarely brilliant one, too) set to Kino's Journey, which is among my favorite anime and one that has, in many ways, inspired my life. It also explores and features the endless journey.

4. Lady Stardust - David Bowie

This tends to get a bit of an odd reaction when putting it as my favorite Bowie song. Most people know its sister song, Ziggy Stardust, but I've always found this one to be terribly underrated and overlooked. Partially, it comes from my interest in gender-bending, and I've always interpreted the song as Ziggy looking at the female persona he's created as it takes a life of its own (which Ziggy did to Bowie, in many ways)

5. Do you Realize?? - The Flaming Lips

Another self-explanatory one probably. I've always tried to stick with the capre diem view of life, and that's basically what this is.

6. Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, Pt. 1 & 2 - The Flaming Lips

Technically speaking, two songs, but I've always looked at them as one. This a harder one to really put into words. The song itself is groovy as hell, and the imagery of a little girl in a ballerina outfit fighting a bunch of pink killer robots is comic book-ly awesome.

7. Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

I believe in respecting everyone's opinion, but honestly, if you don't recognize Freddie Mercury as one of the greatest vocals ever, I just don't have any respect for your opinion on music. Sorry, them's just the ropes. And this song, oh boy this song here, is easily among the greatest recorded in the English language (yes, I am going that far, suck it haters). The best description I've heard of this song is it's a song sung from Heaven, Hell and Earth all at the same time. It's always been one that's peaked my imagination and admiration for the human voice.

8. A Day in the Life - The Beatles (possibly)

I put this as a possibly because as a whole I really don't care much for this song. The main thing that's always struck was the middle part. It always felt to me like an entirely different song randomly inserted into the other. And mainly, it's the lyrics "found my way upstairs and had a smoke / somebody spoke and I went into a dream" that has somehow always captured me.

All for now.

 

[Draculea]

If I were to mention my favorite songs, these are the ones that pretty much always come to mind:

1. There Are the Days of our Lives, by Queen.

2. Bijou, By Queen.

3. Comfortably Numb, by Pink Floyd.

4. Final Eyes, by Yes.

5. Time Stand Still, by Rush.

6. Afterimage, by Rush.

7. Nocturne in Em, by Fryedrick (spelling?) Chopin.

8. First We Take Manhattan, by Leonard Cohen.

and the rest depend on my mood and preferences, which may vary from time to time.

1. Sympathy For The Devil - The Rolling Stones

This was the first vinyl recording I ever put on by my own hand. When I was about 14(latecomer to music) I dug out my brother and sister's old decrepit record player(only one speaker worked iirc), dug around in the pile of records that had been left behind, and chose to put this one on first. I had been working all summer in my friend's dad's workshop, and the Stones were being played on the radio every day as a build up to their gig in Glasgow, so i was starting to get into them.
When I put this tune on first, not that I am a satanist or anything , lol, it just happened to be track one of side one, I had no idea what it would sound like, but the hairs stuck up on the back of my neck when it begun to play, as I had heard it before.

Many years before when I was a little kid I would watch a lot of videos at the next door neighbours house, as we did not have a vcr, and I always remembered this film they rented called 'The Jericho mile' about a guy in prison who would not get involved in any of the fights or gangs, all he did all day was run around the track in the excercise yard in his spare time. The movie followed all the politics of the prison wardens and the gangs suddenly taking an interest in him as it appeared that he might have a shot at running in the olympics, he was so good.

and, when he would run round the track, they would play the backing track of 'Sympathy for the Devil' as he ran, it was very effective.
I have not seen this movie since then, almost 30yrs, but it burned into my memory, and I got a re-kindling of the old hairs standing up on the back of my neck rush that I got when I saw him run on the track and heard that music. I got a little taste of that rush just now thinking about it.

I will not spoil the end of the movie for anyone who has not seen it, but it was very inspirational, and when I heard that tune again it was like all that inspiration and uplifting feeling flooded back into me.

and that was the thing, I realised I could stick that tune on now, anytime I wanted, whenever I wanted a taste of that feeling I had years ago watching that movie. You may think that is so obvious, that of course is the kind of thing music is for, but to me it was a revelation. I had lived in a somewhat repressed household in some ways, that kind of made me feel embaressed to show any kind of emotion in a way, and playing music could indicate how you were feeling to other people. So if I heard a song I really liked in a movie, and hummed it in class, I would get real defensive about it if someone asked me what tune it was, or they recoginised it, as I felt embaressed they could tell how I was feeling in some way and might slag me off. So I never really played music in the house before, I didn't even want my own family knowing how I was feeling. All i used to play before that was a tape of instrumentals from the 50s and 60s through a one speaker crappy tape deck that i used to use for copying computer games. I'd play it very quietly while i was drawing, and of course, it being instrumentals, gave no indication of how i was feeling, so no shy kid embaressment. haha

So, this was the beginning of me not giving a **** about that, the tune was so good, I couldn't help but play it over and over as loud as I could.

after that I expressed more of an interest in music to people, and got copies of tapes from them, I had like, about 2 tapes of music I would play before that. So, a friend of mine, who was heavily into music, made me up some Stones tapes, and I started listening to albums more and more.

Of course, it is one of the most famous tunes in rock and roll history, one of the all time greats, played to death in movies, tv and on the radio, but to me, it was like my own personal discovery, my own personal tune, lol.

edit: i just looked it up, it was micheal mann's first film, well, it's a tv movie, it's not even the stones version used, a cover version, but a good one...

Okay, continuing

9. Space Oddity - David Bowie

Probably Bowie's most known song outside Ziggy Stardust, it's chronicle of 'Major Tom' across some metaphysical journey has always been one of the more captivating story songs I've had the fortune of listening to.

10. Won't Get Fooled Again - The Who

Pretty self-explanatory for those who've heard it. A song that puts the fact that we're always suck in the past as we step into the future.

11. Seen and Not Seen - Talking Heads

Probably an odd choice as it's not exactly one of the TH's more known songs, but there's a certain poetry to this song as Byrne simply speaks with a chorus in the background. The lyrics are quite haunting.

12. Anthem for a Seventeen-Year-Old Girl - Broken Social Scene

I can't help but feel this song is meant to be taken as tongue in cheek and seeped in irony, but I can't feel but feel it touches a very sentimental part of me from the first time I heard it on the Scott Pilgrim vs The World soundtrack. I've always felt it's an example of perfect pop music, something that had a sugary beat, but touches your heart in unexpected ways.

13. Bye Bye Life - Ben Vereen & Roy Scheider

Another one that goes past the music itself. One of the best musical scenes I've ever seen that ends one of my favorite movies makes this lovely broadway tune about the end of life and love helps keep this forever embedded into my mind.

The quest continues.

 

[Thebumwhowalks]

2. Time Is My Everything - Ian Brown

This song really helped me get through one of the most difficult times in my life when I was seriously losing the plot. I had developed the condition called tinnitus, which has the effect of interrupting your thoughts and making your mind go completely blank without warning, totally taking away your sharpness of mind and focus. I found it very difficult to relate to people, they could ask me something and I could just totally space out, not being able to focus on what they were saying, forgetting what they just said, or my response, especially if they interrupted me, or both, my mind just losing it completely. I was basically losing my mind and my personality, my friends could see it, wondered what was going on with me, and made jokes about it, meanwhile I was seriously losing my mind, which had always been very sharp and quick, and seemingly, could do nothing about it. It put me into a pretty much spaced out frame of mind all the time, reality never quite clicking into focus, very disturbing.

So, I always remember listening to this song and taking strength with it's recurring line of 'I know you're gonna see it in the fullness of time', it was like it was really speaking to me and reminding me that I had always held onto the concept that everything happens for a reason. So that was what I started holding onto, that there was some reason this was happening to me, and if I just held on and did not give in to despair, the reason for it would be revealed.

So, eventually I got hooked up on the net and started getting involved in forum discussions, which was what basically helped me piece togther my mind again, if my mind went blank in mid conversation I could take my time and piece together what I was saying, so slowly but surely I found more focus in real life too. I'm not nearly as quick or as focused as I used to be, but I still have my moments.
and as for the reason for it happening, aye, that was revealed to me, but that is another story! haha

 

[Watchman]

1. It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)- Bob Dylan

Dylan narrowly makes the top spot over the next artist. I wouldn't say that the song has any great impact on my life but just...I've always had a personal attraction to Dylan music and this one is my absolute favorite of his.

2. Life on Mars?- David Bowie

The song that started an obsession. It was this song that was sort of the gateway drug to everything else that was Bowie.

3. Heroin- The Velvet Underground

This comes from a very dark time in my life. It was self-defense! Damn it! I needed the money....I have a problem. No, I just really enjoy the song.

4.Life During Wartime- Talking Heads

Ok well more thoughts and songs later.

 

[Max J Power]

A few to start with:

-Weezer-"My Name is Jonas": Weezer's first two albums are my two favorite albums ever. I could pick any song from either one to put here. I went with "My Name is Jonas" because it opens the first album, which was the first I listened to (I heard their albums in the order they were released). From the first measure, I was hooked. I had never heard anything before that captured emotion so raw and genuine. It made a tremendous impact on the music I liked.

-Beastie Boys-"Intergalactic": I first saw this music video when I was about 10. I had probably heard the Beastie Boys before, but this is the first song I remember hearing where I really put a sound to the name. It was like nothing I'd ever heard before--weird sounds, alternative and hip hop blending, and the Beasties' excellent rapping style. Years later, I would buy their albums and they would become one of my favorite artists.

-Wu-Tang Clan-"C.R.E.A.M.": Prior to about 2008, I wasn't much into hip hop, aside from a few exceptions (like the aforementioned Beastie Boys). When I first got into it (and until the last 9 months or so), I only really liked the "golden age" style. And even though I loved artists like NWA, I viewed them as being kind of, for lack of a better word, novel. Their lyrics are so hard and over-the-top they're kind of funny. Wu-Tang wasn't like that though. "Enter the Wu-Tang" contains plenty of boasts from the Clan about their toughness, but has a dark and somber undercurrent, largely due to the RZA's production--maybe the gang life wasn't really what they wanted. "C.R.E.A.M." is the group's best expression of this idea, and one of their best songs. I definitely viewed rap as having more substance after listening to it.

-Less Than Jake-"History of a Boring Town": I'm from a small town, and this song's about never leaving one. It really struck a chord with me as a teenager with aspirations of seeing more of the world. I don't necessarily feel that way now, but I've always felt I could relate to this song.

[Tron Bonne]

14. Here Comes the Sun - The Beatles

The song that probably made George Harrison my favorite Beatle, and also the one that keeps the optimist within me alive even when it seems like they should be dead and gone, ages ago.

15. Wordy Rappinghood - Tom Tom Club

Much like Seen and Not Seen, this song is much more about what it's saying than anything. Call it it the literature major in me, but words and language are everything and nothing at the same time. They are fun, stupid, they can put people on the run, and they can turn people into ****ing machines. This is the human drama in a dancing beat with that Talking Heads avant grade edge.

16. Tiny Apocalypse - David Byrne

Boy, this list is becoming a bit of a love fest for Talking Heads and its members, but oh well. Byrne has always had a way to make a sing feel very pop-ish, but with a bit of genuine profoundness to it. Every day comes with its own little revelations and life changes that we may never see, under or even realize.

17. Monkey Gone to Heaven - The Pixies

Not the best Pixie song, and not even my favorite, but you just never really forgot your first Pixie song. You just don't, and if you do, you're dead inside. Dead, I say! The Pixies are simply pure music injected into your ears. Nothing else to really say.

18. Ode to Joy - Beethoven

To be honest, as intellectually suicide as it may be, I've just never really been into listening to classical music on a consistent basis. I guess I'm just a sucker for lyrics and all that. But one piece I've always admired is this one. Can't really give much detail...it just always sticks with me.

Getting near the end.

3. Jigsaw Falling Into Place - Radiohead

This song means more to me than any other in the world, I love this song so much it's not possible to gauge the depth, I would marry this song right now if it would have me, lol, totally serious. This song does things to me that no other can or will, this song makes me feel like I can do anything, and it's a trip I will be following very very soon, reawakenings of the awakening.
It is the best in all the world, and the universe, and I know cause I have been there!
Love it with all my heart and always will no matter what.

 

[Ponyboy]

Music is one of my passions... it's hard for me to make a "Top Ten"... certainly all of the songs below wouldn't be on that list. But I could probably narrow it down to a top 50 or something. Here's a few songs I never tire of:

1- The Chain by Fleetwood Mac... either the Rumours version or the live version from The Dance album(s) are both great. It's got a great guitar solo and great harmonies. The live version has some great guitar picking and a very eerie tone with some dark lyrics.

2- Time is a Runaway by the Alternate Routes... it's a very longing kind of chorus that I can identify with. Oh how true this song is...

3- I'll Remember by Madonna. One of her few "ballad-y" type songs that I really like. The lyrics are beautiful.

4- Free Fallin' by Tom Petty... Boy everytime I hear this song I think of life, love, happiness and the sun on my face. It's a classic.

5- Hammer to Fall by Queen... Great guitar riffs, great lyrics about death and a great vocal from Freddie Mercury

6- Heart Of The Matter by Don Henley... If I make the mistake of actually listening to this song all the way through, I tend to get weepy. Yes... a tear. It's such an emotional song... the kind that punches you right in the gut if you aren't careful.

7- Why by Annie Lennox. Probably the most beautiful (& saddest) song. Ever.

8- Heal It Up - Concrete Blonde... This song has one of the best vocals by a female lead I've ever heard. The chorus is a total kick in the face!

9- Untitled #4 by Sigur Ros... I can only imagine that the music in heaven is as beautiful as this piece.

10- It's a Mother-f*c*er by The Eels... Anyone that's lost someone can understand this song. Beautiful, truthful, and moving.

[Max J Power]

Round 2:

-Reel Big Fish-"Sell Out": I've loved RBF since I was 14. This was the first song I heard by them, and their sense of ironic and self-depricating humor instantly clicked with me.

-Thrice-"Stare at the Sun": This song is very meaningful in its own right (Thrice has some of my favorite lyrics of any band), but on a personal level, it reminds me of a simpler time. I listened to this song on an almost daily basis in the summer of 2004 (between my sophomore and junior years in high school), which was the last time my life was really carefree for more than a month or so at a time. I just started my first year of law school, so I'm appreciating my carefree days more than ever right now.

-The Mighty Mighty Bosstones-"The Impression That I Get": Fortunately, I have not experienced much tragedy in my life, and this pretty much sums up how I feel about that. I'm grateful, but confused as to how I would respond to something really bad happening to someone close to me.

-Oasis-"Don't Look Back in Anger": It's a beautiful song; one that always makes me happy when I'm down. Oasis defies what usually makes bands great. It often seems like Noel Gallagher half-assed his lyrics and wrote vague stuff that people might find superficially meaningful because it sounded nice. But somehow, it worked, and Oasis have a bunch of songs that are way more inspiring than they should be. Maybe any lyrics can seem great if the music is good enough.

4. The Chantays - Pipeline


The first music I ever listened to regularly was a compilation album of instrumentals from the 50s, 60s and 70s, I listened to it every day over and over, esp when I was sitting at my desk trying to draw my own comics.

This was one of my favs, just has this really mysterious quality to it:

Billie Holiday - Gloomy Sunday

I could go on for hours, but I'll leave it at 10. haha

 

[Thebumwhowalks]

5. Reasons - Minnie Riperton

I like MR a lot, I heard her on the Jackie Brown s/track and then bought a best of album, someone also did me a Cd of her stuff, but someone stole it from my flat.
This one hit me along the same lines as Time is my everything, it being along the lines of making me keep in mind that lots of things happened in my life that i did not understand the reason for until much later on, life being a learning experience that way, and it working it mysterious ways.

[YT]1FDbKA-fhvk[/YT]

6. Faster - the Manic Street Preachers

I think this whole album(the holy bible) is a masterpiece, this was the first song I heard from the album in it's entirety when they did it on Top of the Pops, just sounded like a great punk rock music of the 60s and 70s, 4 real and all that, haha. It was quite something to see such an in your face punk rock performance as this on such a 'safe' prime time family pop show, they got the most ever complaints for that performance in the show's history, mainly though I think, cause the singer James Dean Bradfield, wore a balaclava mask reminiscent of a member of the ira.

It is the ultimate megalomaniac's song "I am stronger than Mensa, Miller and Mailer, I spat out Plath and Pinter..."
the NME did a free flexi disc with extracts from about 5 of the songs iirc, and I played it a lot, thinking, there is no way this whole album could be as good as these excerpts, cause their interviews were always very good, and promised the ultimate rock album , but they never delivered on that promise. So it wasn't until this one that they managed it, i was pretty shocked when I finally heard the whole album, just a great piece of work, truly unique. I was not surprised that the record company didn't release it in the US, those corporate minded ejgits obviously didn't know what the hell to make of it. They were expecting Bon Jovi and what they got was PiL...

7. Down on the street - The Stooges

Whenever I wanted to put on a song that just sounded like the coolest kick ass groovin rock riff with attitude, this one would go on, in fact the whole album would, I played this album(funhouse) a lot, a few times a day sometimes for the first few months.

Jinouga's Theme (Which is also in my signature)
