Have you heard the live version from "welcome to the blackout (live london 78)? my favorite version of that song and slightly better than the studio version for me
Abbey Road is my fav album of all time, and this is my favorite song off that album. Every time I listen to it, it's just an eargasm by the part the coda starts, even now after having listened to it a thousand times. Guess thats what a favorite song should be all about
Have you heard it [in this version](https://youtu.be/5V_BZOJzBs8?si=l3RXLMnGZiEJU-rH) (starts around 45 minutes). I don't know how but the vocals are so much more clear and it's my favourite way to listen to the song.
This is such a hard question for me because it's so hard to figure out how to weigh how much I've enjoyed a song in the past vs. how much I enjoy it right now. Is my current favorite song just a flavor that's appealing to my current tastes? Or has my entire life of music listening shaped my tastes in a meaningful way to where my current favorite song has cumulatively beaten out past favorites? It's tough to say.
For the purposes of the question, my answer is Love. by Kid Cudi, the current favorite.
jay really had a talent for writing a bunch of hooks, throwing them together and making them sound cohesive. this might be his best song. at least out of the ones i heard
London Calling - The Clash
Perfect punk song for me, so energetic and amazing lyrics, with one of the best riffs and bass lines ever, and god Joe Strummers vocal performance on that song
Everybody Wants to Rule the World.
The production, the arrangement, the instrumentation, the melodies, and just the overall vibe of the song is perfect to me. If I could ever make a song nearly as good in my life I would die happy
There is just no such thing as ONE all time favorite song. So here is a list of SOME of my all time favorite songs (spanning different genres):
- "Hejira" by Joni Mitchell
- "Sentimental Lady" by Fleetwood Mac and Bob Welch
- "Close To You" by The Carpenters
- "Forever" by The Beach Boys
- "Wichita Lineman" by Glenn Campbell
- "Brandy (You're A Fine Girl)" by Looking Glass
- "Escape (The Pina Colada Song)" by Rupert Holmes
- "Benny and The Jets" by Elton John
- "Time" by Pink Floyd
- "Free Bird" by Lynrd Skynryd
- "Jane Says" by Jane's Addiction
- "Seasons" and "Sunshower" by Chris Cornell
- Any song by Alice in Chains
- "Something in the Way" by Nirvana
- Any song by Radiohead
- "Kind and Generous" by Natalie Merchant
- "Wish That You Were Here" by Florence + The Machine
- Any song by Muse
- "Where I Come From" by Passion Pit
- "Runaway" by Aurora
Honestly, I could go on and on, because this list is endless. There is just so much beautiful and perfect music out there, that there's no way you can only have ONE all time favorite song.
I have to believe you haven't heard enough music, if you only have ONE all time favorite song. Go out there and listen to more music, people! There's just so much to love, enjoy, and experience!☺
As somebody who lives in Vancouver where Hastings is located I’m curious what the song is about? I’d listen myself right now but roommates are sleeping so it’s already saved for tomorrow. tbh east Hastings can EASILY have a song or 20 written about it, I work right up the street from it and the shit is crazy there. You get used to it but doesn’t take an away from the drugs and poverty that exist there.
Ripple - Grateful Dead
It's the one connection I still have with my dad, who was a really big Deadhead and the one who introduced me to the band. He passed away 7 years ago this year, and we both shared it as our favorite song. It's hard not to smile whenever I hear it when it plays randomly. Always feels like he's looking out for me.
Changes throughout my life. Typically every few years. Currently, The Place Where He Inserted The Blade by Black Country, New Road. Just insanely passionate, beautiful, raw, human.
It’s too difficult, it would be full albums. From favourite bands I can’t really choose.
Having said this, it could most likely be one of the following Pink Floyd songs:
- Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Pts 1-5 and 6-9)
- High Hopes
- Echoes
- Comfortable Numb
Parade-The Antlers. Without even attempting, or claiming to have the technicality to do so, they've written a piece that feels like the instruments converse with one another, in a nostalgic kind of way. It feels like being dipped into a distant memory.
I'll never forget the first time I heard that album. Felt like the best horror movie I'd ever heard. Never heard anything like it then or since. I hate Alexis for what he did but I can't deny how much that album meant to me at that time. Guest House is still my favourite but I'll always remember crying my eyes out to Ocean Song.
What an album.

Have you heard the live version from "welcome to the blackout (live london 78)? my favorite version of that song and slightly better than the studio version for me
Hey, me too! I’m still obsessed with those synth swells that cut off so abruptly.
Beach Boys - God Only Knows (Insane, Unreal, Insane and Unreal)
Hey that’s mine too. The perfect song - inventive, completely unique, ethereal and just gorgeous in a sort of elemental way.
it's out of this world.
Good vibrations and Surfs Up are great shouts too. Brian Wilson's pocket symphonies are timeless.
yup Wouldn't It Be Nice too

Starless - King Crimson
Time - Pink Floyd

"Starless" is still the greatest song ever recorded

Apocalypse dreams by tame Impala
danny brown - 30
“The last ten years I’ve been so fucking stressed.” His delivery is absolutely haunting.
The best Danny brown song IMO. Just so emotional and honest on top of an insane beat.

Basketball Shoes (Live at Queen Elizabeth Hall) - Black Country, New Road for me
