Top 5 Favourite songs of all time!

Probably very difficult for most. I've been thinking about this all day, and here's what I came up with. Most likely would be different tomorrow though:

-Pink Floyd - Echoes
-Gescom - Go Sumo
-Neil Young - Harvest Moon
-Joy Division - New Dawn Fades
-Santa Esmeralda - Please don't let me be misunderstood (better than the animals version imho)

The Beach Boys' "God Only Knows" is the only one of my top five songs with lifetime membership.

+1, although I've also never tired of Gershwin playing Rhapsody in Blue or any version of about 3 Rachmaninoff preludes.

'spose I put this in the wrong forum.

for classical music dvorak's new world symphony is my favourite... or bachs organ symphonies.

One of my favorites would be Your Hand in Mine by Explosions in the Sky. Never tire listening to it.

I did say top 5!

too hard to say but "when the levee breaks" and "out on the tiles" are def in there for me

Orion by Metallica
Il Triello by Ennio Morricone
Talisman by Air
Gimme Shelter by The Rolling Stones
In the Evening by Led Zeppelin

TCQ - Electric Relaxation
Goldfrapp - Utopia
Orbital - Impact (The Earth is Burning)
Depeche Mode - Barrel of a Gun
Dreadzone - A Canterbury Tale

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida Iron Butterfly
In the Light- Zeppelin
Comfortably Numb- The Floyd
New York City Serenade- The Boss
Take a Pebble- ELP

Okay. I'll try.

Beach Boys- "God Only Knows"
Nina Simone- "Love Me or Leave Me"
Leonard Cohen- "So Long, Marianne"
Bob Dylan- "Visions of Johanna"
Elvis- "Long Black Limousine"

If I can only pick five, I have to go with the stuff that contains multitudes

But really, I would be lying I denied this song. My favorite of all time, as much for associated memories as the song itself
