What's your favorite song of all time...

When my flying days are over, and my death has come to pass
I hope they bury me upside down, so the whole damn world can kiss my ass

heaps more, cant be bothered coz im tired and im going to bed

g'night all

anyway, I don't have 1 song that is my all-time favorite because I like lots of different genres that are totally distinct. If I had to pick one though, I would say Where the River Goes, by STP.

So I guess my all time favorite movie can't be The Matrix because it's fairly new. And my favorite 'car' can't be The Hummer H2.

I can't pick a favorite song, but it'd have to be by either TOOL or Godsmack.

elanor rigby...I played that in jazz band!

and jim: again you fail in an attmept to prove your wit. new bands suck because they have no talent and are just signed by record companies to make them money. just like all the boy bands and the pop shit. new movies can get better and better however, due to better special effects combined with good directing and creative stories. new bands aren't creative at all, thats why they suck. similar situation for cars-new technology makes them better. new technology does not make bands better. anyway atleast you picked a very good band and a half-decent band for your favorites...

"Body and Soul" for jazz (the Diana Krall recording)
"Faith" by George Michael for pop/rock
"Is Anybody Home" by Our Lady Peace for alternative

There is no such thing as a fav song. It's the emotion it evokes...

For me I can listen to James Taylors Fire and Rain over and over again. The song makes me feel something- it evokes emotion and I NEVER get sick of it! Thats not to say I dont have other favorite songs- (btw Like Suicide by Soundgarden is a FANTASTIC song)or even favorite artists- like Ani DiFranco, Jewel, Alanis, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Dixie Chicks, Indigo Girls. If I had to pick a favorite song for right now it might be Power of Two by Indigo Girls or even Let Him Fly by Dixie Chicks- but are they my ALL TIME FAVORITE songs- I dont think so- I mean I like them a lot but I dont connect with them the same way I do with James Taylors Fire and Rain.
I hope that cleared it up a little.

I think Catknight is beginning to show his age

I don't keep up with most new music anymore. I feel a bit ashamed. But, when I hear something I like, I'll not hate it because it's new... or at least I really try not to.

One thing you're going to find right now is that we're pre-genre. We're in that period of time where we've refined our 90's style, and are ready to move to something new... but we don't know what it is. Actually, we're probably nearly done with the second 90's genre... as our music periods have been accelerating rapidly throughout the last 120 years. At any rate, we're probalby seeing the same thing we had at the end of the 80's... it was getting lame.

Something needed to happen, and you got grunge. That's where your STP song came from... innovation out of stagnation. It's not fair to judge because it's new. It's fair to judge because it's rehash. However, if somebody were to make a song that sounded just like STP, or James Tayler, or Cream, or Led Zepplin, or something (Alice in Chains?)... would they be good or bad? It's new music that sounds like the old music. Can't attack the sound. Can't attack the style... must attack the band... or the year it was released.

BTW: Favorite song: Sarah McLachlan - Fumbling Towards Ecstasy

i agree 100\% when im down, i listen to soundgarden, cause it helps me focus on my troubles. when i listen to punk, it reminds me of last year when i used to hang out with that great friend of mine. when i listen to smashing pumpkins, it reminds me of middle school. when i listen to nirvana's nevermind, it reminds me of reading this book, cause thats all i was listening to while i was reading it (car trip). when i listen to fatboy slim i wanna drive fast and crazy. i think that emotion idea is definitely right, because i could have 10 favorite songs in a day if i looked. right now toad the wet sprocket's something's always wrong is my favorite because it reminds me of car trips at night when its raining (which is usually when i get my best thinking done)....

Are you shpongled?

Just curious since no new bands will ever be good.

and CatKnight: once again you've failed to prove your knowledge about anything with your ludicrous statement that any new band sucks by default. Especially considering that you just admitted Godsmack was a good band even though not only are they NEW, but they started as an Alice in Chains cover band.

ok i was too general when I said new bands. I was referring to young ametuer bands who make it on the radio somehow and get signed right away by record companies even though they have no talent, and the only reason why [/i]anyone[/i] likes them is because MTV tells them to.

This message has been edited by CatKnight on May 14, 2001 at 12:33 PM

and for all time favorite song, i dont think i could really choose one, but if i had to, itd probably be that live version of drown thats been(or was back when i pirated music) floating around on the net for a while.

Back when the song ONE came out by Metallica it was instantly my favorite song of all time, AT THAT TIME. Since then my music taste has shifted slightly. Although I still think that is a very excellent song, I would gladly listen to any TOOL song over any Metallica song. I just like the sound of the band better.

basically, you are saying you are right and I am wrong because your interpretation of grammer. it's always about the grammer with you texans, isn't it (hehe).

example 2:lately, i have not been listening to my pearl jam, AIC, or old soundgarden cd's at all. i have been listening to my new Prodigy and Tool cd's. however, i still occasionally listen to Where The River Goes, because it is one of my all time favorites.

ooh just thought of another one! Like Suicide, by Soundgarden.

Should I pick the song that was my favorite 10 years ago?

Should I pick a song that was my favorite a year or two ago, so long as I still listen to it?

Seriously? What is the criteria for your all time favorite song?

I would think it's the song that is your all time favorite today, meaning the best song you've ever heard. I may hear a song on the way home that becomes my New Fav. It may be from a brand new band, or it could be some STP song that I've never heard before. I still haven't heard the New TOOL album yet. Maybe I won't like TOOL so much anymore after I hear it. After all, Metallica's new stuff is the reason why I don't like them anymore.

I can't think of the name of the album I have, and I'm clueless as to whether not they even have more than one. But the one I have the CD itself is all yellow with some faces on it.

They have song that are just full on rage, and then some that are mellow... But the cool thing is MOST are both!!! They start all mellow and then in a second it just rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr busts out into some serious music, and then levels again going back and forth. It's soooooo cool... I'm going to have to listen to that on the way home from work now.

That fuckin blows!!!

You need to send me your playlist. We seem to have similar music taste and I'm looking for new music.

My friend Jeremy is always hooking me up with new and cool shit I've never heard before. It'd be nice to pass some his way for a change.

Yeah theres this song dedicated to the lead singer of SNOT. Its called Angels Song and its by the lead singer of Soulfly and a few others. I saw them at Ozzfest a few years back and they kicked ass...

Neophyre- dude, turn the page (metallica), and sacutroin by ff(sp?) rule.

i couldn't belive how may ppl said somehting about fear factory, and someone even said sepultura (sp?).

i can't name a fav, any music i like is my fav, but if you want to do the whole how long i've listened to their music and all that horse shit then i would say any metallica (unlike most ppl i like the new shit too, not kick ass like the old shit but kick ass in a new metallica kinda way)
all the music i listen to effects my emotions. in different ways. when i'm pissed i put in some slipknot, when i'm down and out i put in some staind, when i'm bored i put in some metallica, or whatever (my entire life seems to fall into this catogry)

fuck back to work

Don't think anyone's mentioned any of them yet - in fact, I'd be surprised if any of you have even heard of them . The last 2 are local bands in the DC area. All are worth checking out though if you like alternative and have nothing better to do.

finger eleven is coming in concert sunday i think or maybe its tonight shit. anyway i have listen to some of there shit, it pretty good

Well, yeah, cause those bands kick ass. Who else can mix tribal music with an absolutely awesome guitar line?

Even though, I would have to say my fav band would have to be Pantera. Even when my taste shifts, "Pure Against The Grain Metal" will always be my slogan. The Great Southern Trendkill? FUCK YEAH!!

As for song(s): Febuary Stars, by the Foo Fighters, All Apologies by Nirvana, Home by Dream Theater, and Sing, Sing, Sing, Gene Krupa styles.

Peace be with you all.
