All Time Favorite Songs....

[nanacat]

I thought I saw this somewhere on this forum, but maybe not.... To take off from our favorite movies, what are your all time favorite songs?

(Note: I'm a *tad* older than some of you, so some of these are really old. What the hell, maybe you heard your parents play them. Also, since the early 90's I've listened to a lot of Irish music, so this reflects that as well.)

White Rabbit, by Jefferson Airplane (all-time favorite song)

Low Spark of High Heeled Boys, by Traffick

Have a Cigar, by Pink Floyd

Paint it Black, by The Rolling Stones

A Day in the Life, by The Beatles

I am like you in the sense of not being a music fan and having an eclectic taste, and like those songs as well.
Btw, its "Seven Nation Army" not seven nation's army.

[smith676]

Well my all time favourite songs are, Only hope by Mandy Moore, Two is better than one by tailor, Heart beat by Enrique. I love these songs so much, because I like the meaning and the music of these songs.

A Day in the Life is an interesting choice, and certainly not a bad one. I'll have to sleep on it a while to see if I can come up with choices.
