My 10 All-Time Favorite Songs

Recommended Posts

The Kinks - Victoria

Joy Division - Transmission

Echo and the Bunnymen - The Killing Moon

XTC - Senses Working Overtime

The Wedding Present - Dalliance

The Velvet Underground - Heroin

David Bowie - Queen Bitch

Mission of Burma - That's When I Reach for My Revolver

Love - Alone Again Or

The Clash - Train in Vain

 

I don't necessarily love all these bands (Joy Division, for instance), but I do love all these songs. This list is also more personal and less critical than, say, an all-time favorite albums list—like, both MoB and Bowie may have arguably better songs, but that's beside the point.

May we use this thread to list our own favorite songs, or shall we keep it to discussing Incandenza's?

Feel free.

Thanks, here's something:

Box of Rain by the Grateful Dead

God Only Knows by the Beach Boys

Handbags and Gladrags by Rod Stewart(I think that's the title)

Piano Man by Billy Joel

Crocodile Rock by Elton John

Here's where it gets shakier(ie I have a harder time saying definately my favs)

Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen

Particle Man by They Might Be Giants(remind me to tell a semi funny story about Istanbul, Not Contantinoble sometime)

Take It Easy by the Eagles

Sweetness by Jimmy Eat World

Immigrant Song by Led Zepplin

That's not a precise top ten of all time, but it's what comes to mind for now. If I think of something better I'll post that later. I tried to avoid repeating artists, because I have a lot of songs by the folk I listen to that I like, and I've been on such a huge Lesh binge of late that it'd be easy for me to make one almsot all Dead. Anyhow, there it is

I'll point out in this thread I think I'm the only person I know who prefers 'Dare' to 'Dalliance' (not that there's anything at all wrong with the latter) and think it's one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard in my life, definitely top five, and like, what's up with that.
