Hmm. My list will be woefully incomplete, but it's something. There's
a lot more than this, but I can't stick it all in.
Okay. "AEnema," by Tool, which is an awe-inspiring song about the end
of California. It's impossible to get enough of this song. The musical
composition of this song makes you feel the earth rumbling and the tidal
waves crashing in. It's amazing. I can probably stick "Third Eye" on
top of it, which is different, but no less amazing. It runs more in the
psychadelic region, but the mastery the band shows is undeniable.
"Black," by Pearl Jam, is a deep, emotional song, another one where the
entire band contributes to the feel. Released on their first album,
it is the pinnacle of their artistry, and they've been struggling to
return since.
"Lights Out," by little known of Newsboys. I don't know, this song is
nothing like anything else they've produced. It gets me going every
time, though.
And, of course, there's the greatest song of all time. Hail to the
Victors. Nothing like singing that in a small, fun loving group of
110,000. Wow. I can hear the groans already.

hmmm
"Little Wing" by Stevie Ray Vaughan. This is a cover of Hendrix's
work but I think SRV did it better.
"Give Me One Reason" by Tracy Chapman. I like the guitar/drum interplay
and of course the words.
"Fanfare for the Common Man" composed by Aaron Copland; performed by the
Cincinnati Pops Orchestra. This particular piece is only 3 mins long, but is
perhaps the most moving piece ever composed. Trunpets speak to my soul, and
this one speaks volumes. When I hear it, it becomes a spiritual experience.
"The Thrill is Gone" by BB King.

[Lest I be thought sexist by the sort of person who
looks at a song title and assumes therefrom what the
song is about, I should add that "Bitch" by the Stones
is about a man so besotted with a certain woman that
he turns to jelly when she's around ("I salivate like
a Pavlov dog"). The refrain goes, "Love is a bitch."
'sall.]

You're asking *ME* for a favorite song? Oh hell...I'll try to keep
it to ten I couldn't live without. They're all good to drive/dance
to. (Go figure)
"Red Barchetta" - Rush
"Blue Monday" - Orgy
"Halo" - Depeche Mode
"Shot in the Dark" - Ozzy Osbourne
"Hunting" - Deep Forest
"Aldebaron <sp?>" - Enya (okay...not a dancing/driving song)
"War Child (long version)" - Blondie
"Oil 1" - Moby
"Mr. Pinstriped Suit" - Big Bad Voodoo Daddies (I don't know if
that's the title...)
"Shout" - Isley Brothers
It was VERY hard to keep this to ten, ladies and gents... I can
think of ten from every era. =)

My favorite songs keep changing. But I rarely ever learn to hate a song.
Right now I'm working on a song from "The Court Jester", a lullaby. I think
it would sound great if Tom Waits sang it, but for now I'll have to settle
for myself in the shower.

it's on the Mirror Blue CD. very slow, just Richard and his guitar.
chorus:
Did your dreams die young?
Were they too hard won?
Did you reach too high and fall?
And there is no rest
For the ones God blessed
And He blessed you best of all.
..an old love interest heard the song and thought of me. :)

Oh, that one. Guess I never knew what it was called.
Unfortunately MIRROR BLUE was a loser album for me, and YOU ME US
was even worse. Did you get CELTSCMERTZ, last year's fan club live
recording?

(Re Beeswing back there some where: Darn it Trish, you mention Bohemia
and I start singing La Vie Boheme from Rent, and I can't even listeng
to it!)
As to my all time favourite songs...
November Rain by Guns 'N Roses: Don't know why but I have always loved
this song, it's so great to me.
American Pie by Don McLean: Need I say more?
Singin' In The Rain, Gene Kelly: I love Gene Kelly. And now that I've
started tap dancing(Even if it's only for a show) I respect his dancing
ability even more than I had in the past.
Pride(In the Name of Love) by U2: The live version off of Rattle & Hum
is by far the best.
Nutcracker by Tchaikovsky: I love this music to death. It's my pinnacle
of wonderful music.
And current favourite songs:
Pretty Fly(For a White Guy) -Offsrping
Get a Job -Offsrping
Anything Goes -Anything Goes
AEnema -Tool
Bouncin' Round the Room -Phish
Dr. Worm -TMBG
All music by Squirrel Nut Zippers
That's all I can think of for now.

Nope, krj, I was a slobbering RT fan for awhile but it's kinda waned for
me. Mirror Blue didn't change my life or anything but I like it okay. I
have to be in the mood to listen to it.

I suspect we should take it to the music cf's Richard Thompson item
(there's got to be one somewhere there..) but I couldn't stand the
musical arrangements on "Mirror Blue" (liked the lyrics, hated the
tunes) but liked "You? Me? Us?"

The list is plenty big for me, including a lot of what I have
read. I just like a lot of music, and can be quite impacted by some.
Instead, here are a few songs I went out of my way to make sure others
also heard:
Touch a Name on the Wall - Joel Mabus (memories of Vietnam
and the Memorial Wall)
Cool Green Hills of Earth, words by Robert Heinlien, musical
arrangment by Michael McGonical(?), vocal by Mark
Bernstein with chorus
A Boy and His Frog - Tom Smith (tribute to Jim Henson)
When Tenskwatawa Sings - Michael Longcor (reverse angle on
the Battle of TippiCanoe(?sp?)
Hope Eyrie - Leslie Fish, but this Lunar Anthem is best when
sung by many.

Wow, this is a toughie.
I'm gonna try to keep myself down to one Beatles song here...it's a close tie
between "Something" and "In My Life", but I think "In My Life" wins.
"Angel from Montgomery" - my favorite is Bonnie Raitt's version, though I like
Susan Tedeschi's too, but I'm not sure who wrote it.
"In the Light" by Led Zepplin.
"Is it Okay if I Call You Mine?" from the movie Fame.
"No Woman No Cry" by Bob Marley.
"Something So Right" by Paul Simon.
"Oh Amelia" by Joni Mitchell. ("tip of the iceberg," md would say)
"Calling from the Western Slopes" by Rickie Lee Jones. ("tip of the iceberg")
"Tones of Home" by Blind Melon.
Cassandra Wilson's version of "Harvest Moon" by Neil Young, although I hate
Neil Young's version of this song with a passion.
Actually, I feel the same way about a lot of covers - Tori Amos' version of
Led Zepplin's "Down By the Seaside" and Joe Cocker's version of the Beatles'
"With A Little Help from my Friends" come to mind.
Hmm...that's enough for now....

Yikes, this is tough, and what I really like to listen to shifts around a lot,
but I'll see if I can put down fav. tracks of best loved albums.
In No Particular Order
"Brother 52" --Fish
"Money" --Pink Floyd
"Kate" --Ben Fold's Five
"Knots" --Gentle Giant
"Signify" --Porcupine Tree
"Lovely Rita" --The Beatles (I just like this song)
And that's all I can think of off the top of my head.

Naked Eyes's last best-of compilation has so many songs I really like,

I'll go on forever, so I'll quit..
but I will add I love the classical guitar piece "Romance"
