What's your favorite song?

[Vereya]

My ones are these:
YouTube - Busta Rhymes Feat Mariah Carey - I Know What You Want
and
YouTube - Powerman 5000 - When Worlds Collide
and a Russian one with the lyrics -
Under wheels of Love:Eve knew it, and so did Adam,The wheels of love ride right over us,And every back has got the traces of the track,We lie down, like the brushwood, under the wheels of love.Under the wheels of love…Under the wheels…Morning and night, night and day,Going home from work, and while doing your shopping,Unless you are a slow one,Unless you are a failure,Be cheerful,And be confident. Under the wheels of love, Christ, Lenin and Mahomet knew this - The wheels of love ride towards the light.Chingis-khan and Hitler bathed in blood,But they also got coiled onto the wheels of love. Morning and night, night and day,Going home from work, and while doing your shopping,The wheels will catch up with you, and you are nothing compared to them

There's a lot of them- "The Old Log Cabin is Sale" would be one and "Cold, cold heart would have to be right up there. Another one would be "Take these chains from my heart". All them good old singers are dead now.

Of course Roy Acuff and Hank Thompson were a couple of the best- I guess guys like GArth Brooks are Okay but I don't think he holds a candle to some of the old timers- like old Jimmie Rodgers (died of T.B. back in the 30s and sang a lot of railroad songs, one of the best being "My time ain't long".

2. Runnin' Down A Dream - Tom Petty
3. Broken - Seether w/ Amy Lee
4. Closer - Nine Inch Nails
5. Something I Can Never Have - Nine Inch Nails
6. Wish - Nine Inch Nails
7. I'm Lost Without You - Blink 182
8. There Is - Boxcar Racer

10. Running Up That Hill - Placebo
11. Once In A Lifetime - Talking Heads
12. Hunger Strike - Temple Of The Dog

Hey while you are celebrating New Years Day don't forget old Hank Williams one of the greatest singers of them all and a very tragic person, he died Jan. 1, 1953 only 29 years old, but left so much.

Yes, I woke up, turned on the radio by the bed, and heard the news, and began
to cry, we had many records by him, and definitely appreciated his great talent
in 'song writing'. I was a young teenager then, and devastated by his death,
and couldn't understand how sometone could lead such a tragic life, when he
had so much, (at least I thought so at the time).

This is one of my favourites YouTube - Fleetwood Mac "Silver Springs" Stevie Nicks

 

[bobnoorduyn]

And of course there is this one. The concert is available on DVD and sounds much better on a home entertainment system, but not as good as when I last saw them live in '77. YouTube - Fleetwood Mac - Go Your Own Way - Dance Tour '97

Funny thing we were talking about favourite songs last night - I have my funeral songs picked out

Landslide - Stevie Nicks
Top of The World - Dixie Chicks
Travelling soldier - Dixie Chicks
Hurt - Johnny Cash Version

Love Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac (Tusk is my fave) - Hoyt Axton Devil and the Dealer - far too many to list - Limewire has been a good source for replacing all those 8 tracks I bought as a younger man
P.S. - Saw Stevie Nicks forthe first time Sept 10, 2001 - The World Trade center towers fell the next day - Nobody asked how the concert was

Saw her again in London last summer and Fleetwood Mac is coming to Toronto in March 2009 - Think I am treating my wife and my best friend to the concert.

Said1 - Thanks for the New Orleans video/song - I think that Video did not kill the radio star - only enhanced it - I see Johnny Cash every time I listen to Hurt.

Hurt, who else would you think of after Johnny Cash recorded it?
