Favourite Song?

[7189]

My favourite song is, and has been for a good while: 'Riders on the Storm' by the Doors. I love the epic feeling it has: the falling rain, the thunder, the mystical lyrics and the super-cool piano and guitar riffs. It has an emotional significance to me too, in that it recalls happy memories.

What are your current or all-time favourite songs and why?

[The Grey Blur]

Hurricane by Bob Dylan

Made me what I am today :D

[SearchAndDestroy]

Rage Against The Machine - Wake up

Because it's the awful truth, that needs to be said

[Fistful of Steel]

All the songs mentioned in this thread so far kick ass. I don't know what my favourite song is, I wouldn't know where to begin. It's hard enough picking my favourite albums. I'll throw out How Soon Is Now? by the Smiths just because.

[che's long lost daughter]

Across the Universe by The Beatles

[h&s]

My all time favorite has to be Creeping Death by Metallica - it is pretty much the perfect metal song, IMO.
My current favorite is probably Mandatory Suicide by Slayer, especially the live versions where Tom shouts the lst part that is normally spoken.
Guess what genre of music I like... ;)

[Invader Zim]

I don't feal that I can have a favorate song anymore, I like to many and different moods dictate different music. Not only that but when i get new music that effects the way I look at music, if only temporarily. But what I can do is post my top played songs according to winamp, though this has altered recently because I formatted my hard drive and the list has restarted: -

Manic Street Preachers - Motorcycle emptyness
'' '' '' - Die in the Summertime
Tool - Sober
Placebo - Follow the cops back home
My Vitriol - Always: Your Way


These are the top five most played at the moment, no doubt that will shift dramatically in the next few weeks.

[Zero]

My favorate song is probably...

Shit... thats a hard one. It depends on my mood. Most of the time I prefer Authority Zero - Over Seasons, or other Ska/Reggae. Though when I'm pissed its usually RATM - Gorilla Radio/Wake Up (really any RATM song) or maybe crank some old ACDC.

Then again theres always the classical rock, turn on some Floyd, or Zepp. It's all good. Sit down, turn on, rock out, light up.

[Led Zeppelin]

Led Zeppelin - Achilles Last Stand

[RebelDog]

Mandatory Suicide, is a ball-breaking classic. Such power. My all time favourite, I don't know I couldn't choose, Slayer would certainly be considered.

[Iroquois Xavier]

Damn thats a toughie but i guess it would be Red Hot Chil Peppers-Under The Bridge. I fucking love that song.

[Reuben]

The best song ever is Famous Blue Raincoat by Leonard cohen and anyone who disagrees with me is a wanker

[Iroquois Xavier]

I'm a wanker then...its not like i'm the only one. :P

[Cult of Reason]

Si me quieres escribir, and Bandiera Rossa.

[Orange Juche]

Paranoid Android by Radiohead

[Reuben]

paranoid android isnt even the best song on the album

[LoneRed]

The Clash- Death or Glory

Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros- Silver and Gold, Get Down Moses

[Revulero]

Cosa Buena

Tego Claderon

[Tree_Hugger]

I'd have to say. . . . Want An Anarchy/Fuck The Pope (Anti-Flag), Failure (Unearth), and maybe The Red Flag (Suicide Machines) :D

[RebelDog]

I've decided my favourite song is Coroner 'masked jackal'
Thrash metal at its utter best, anti-Bush snr lyrics.

Its one of my favorite Slayer songs, yet its very untypical of Slayer. It truly is an awesome song tough. Your neck hurts after listening to it though, after all the mandatory headbanging. :)

[OneBrickOneVoice]

No Borders, No Nations - Anti-Flag

USA-Holes - NOFX

Both have powerful meanings. Especially USA-holes which talks about how even though the US is so strong look at what happened to the Titanic despite the fact that it was so strong.

It's a bad song, especially the live version - Tom's completely out of breath and the drums are all over the show

[Gura]

LA Woman, because (mainly) of the way the "Mr Mojo Risin'" refrain picks up speed.

[Pawn Power]

Seriously can you have just one?

Some mine bel; Police &Thieves, Crack City Rockers, Hate yer State, Pork and Beef.

[Zero]

I'm going to change mine to David Rovics - After the Revolution

[OneBrickOneVoice]

Metal is punk with no message no point and thus is garbage.

I don't agree its a bad song. Mandatory suicide is for me one of my favourites of all time. I have seen Slayer live twice and the blow me away. That was years ago though, I need to go again before they retire. Their knocking on a bit now.

Aww, you&#39;ve seen them twice? I&#39;ve never seen them :( And no-one thought to tell me that they are playing the Carling Weekend Festival this year <_<
And if only I lived in the US, the Unholy Alliance Tour looks awesome&#33; - Slayer, Mastodon, Chlidren of Bodom&#33;

Metal is punk with no message no point and thus is garbage.
No message? No point?
What about all the Satanism, necrophilia, Cthulhu, ritual sacrifice, war, genocide, church burnings, and killing sprees? Isn&#39;t all that a good message? :lol:
Incidently, your statement itself is pure garbage as metal is not really anything like punk, and music is not about having a message - it is about having a damn good time enjoying yourself, which (for me) metal is perfect for.

I seen Slayer on the &#39;clash of the titans&#39; tour in Edinburgh about 15 years ago. They were playing with Megadeth, Suicidal Tendencies and Testament. What a night&#33;

I can tell you&#39;re not a real Nirvana fan if your favourite song by them is "...Teen spirit"&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;
Their best song is Drain you, which, coincidentally is also a poster on this forum.
I take it you like that song as well, D.U?

I recently found out about "Youtube," which is a video/clip sampler website, and I have been searching out some of my favorite band clips.

Here are a few clips of Frank Zappa, Mahavishnu Orchestra, and Gentle Giant.

[Renegade420]

well my favorite song that pumps me up and gets me in the mood to fuck some shit up is fuck authority by penny wise. give it a listen, its one of those songs that gives me chills when blasted over a loud sound system and then makes me want to go over turn a cop car or something

That song is mint, but I think a lot of their earlier stuff is a bit better.

[claypor732]

Hot Topic is not punk rock by some guy that i cant think of right now but i think that this song is a non political but true ummmm thing

[chebol]

Depends on whether you&#39;re talking musical quality, lyrics, tone, politics or personal experience. It&#39;s a common, and impossible question.

Still....

Manic Street Preachers - "The Masses against the Classes" (or "Baby Elian")

plus several hundred other &#39;favourites&#39;...

[An archist]

Know your enemy - Rage against the machine

Yes, they had a contract with the evil capitalists, but their lyrics are just great.

[chebol]

The International has to be up there, especially last year, singing it with Fidel & co. in a packed Karl Marx Theatre on July 26. :castro:

[Iroquois Xavier]

changed mind...dont have a favourite song as such but could possibly be Drowning Pool-Bodies or Manic St Preachers -If You Tolerate This...

[Zero]

I&#39;m hovering around saying Los Fastidos - Antifa Hooligans, or Ska-P - Cannabis.

I <3 Ska.

[Angry Young Man]

AFI: anything by them. I effin <3 em. They saved my life. I WILL defy the laws of biology and have Davey&#39;s kids&#33; :wub: :wub: :wub:

THose songs are fucking brilliant.

Personally my favourite song is either Requiem by Mozart or Broken Man by Corrosion of Confomity. Deending entirely on which side of the bed I wake up on.

[which doctor]

I can&#39;t stand Rage Against the Machine.

[pyro1313]

OK.....Not to offend anyone or anything, but is all you guys listen to punk/ metal? Not saying their bad, I personally love both genres....but what about blues, funk, jazz, rap....ya&#39; know, different stuff

Anyways, my favorites are

Take the Power Back- RATM

Different Strokes for Different Folks ( Everyday People)- Sly & the family stone

[Dyst]

The entire Lateralus album by Tool is an extremely long and brilliant song. It requires full attention though. Can&#39;t stop listening to this album. Seriously, I think I have heard through all the songs over 100 times.

[socialistpunk]

I know i keep doing this but my new favourite song is "children of the rewvolution" by T-REX. It kicks ass in many ways and the old stuff is much better than the new stuff by far more talent in it then there is know :D

JIMI HENDRIX AND OLD ROCK MUSIC KICKS ASS&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; :P :P

Town Called Malice by The Jam

or

So Much Things To Say by Bob Marley

or

Alison by Elvis Costello

Depends how I feel really

[Pink Moon]

Personally I don&#39;t like Elvis Costello.

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

If you don&#39;t like Elvis Costello, you might as well stop listening to rock music altogether

[FreedomWithin]

it doesnt matter if someone doesnt like Elvis Costello. Just because someone doesn&#39;t like Elvis Costello does not mean they should stop listening to rock music at all. That&#39;s ridiculous.

I don&#39;t really like Elvis Costello either. But who are you to tell someone what to listen to or not?

everyone can have their own opinions on everything.

No&#33; You may not have opinions that differ from my own. That cannot happen. Grrrr. *Stalinnnnnn*

As far as i&#39;m concerned Elvis Costello is everything that rock is supposed to be. You are welcome to dissagree with me.

[RevMARKSman]

Hmm, so many favorite songs:

System of a Down - Soldier Side
Linkin Park - Faint
Randy - Karl Marx and History
Randy - Summer of Bros
Less than Jake - Brightest Bulb has Burned
International Noise Conspiracy - Smash It Up

Blue Scholars - No Rest for the Weary
Billy Bragg - There is Power in a Union

[Comeback Kid]

soz man but linkin park suck, real bad. Im not flaming, but Linkin park are just so terrible.

[Stormshield]

To the guy who wrote that about RaTM - no matter what contract thay had, they have inspired so many young (and other) people to, incidentally, wake up and criticize society, that it&#39;s entirely worth it. And they never, ever, ever lost commitment.

[DystopianDream]

I love the whole And Justice For All album by Metallica.

[rebel_heart]

My current favorite song: Iced earth-Melancholy
And my all time fanorite song: Carlos Puebla-Hasta Siempre comandante

[Ell Carino]

Guns &#39;N Roses - November Rain.... just under 10mins of brilliance.
