What are your top ten all time favorite songs? (What does Rolling Stone Know?)

[auntpolly]

thanks for your lists! I love reading them! I wish more people would make them -- I guess I'm just nosy about what people would choose. I mean, I'd love to see Snoopy's (probably) 70's list!

I'm already re-thinking mine, so these aren't written in stone.....

Ahhhhhh Melt with you is great!!!! When I think of that song I also think of Don't You (Forget about me) (Simple minds?) for some reason and I love that one too.

OK- this list is hardly set in stone, in no particular order, and it’s certainly eclectic, but you asked for it…

Ashman and Menken- “Part of Your World”
Marvin Gaye- “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough”
Tracy Chapman- “Revolution”
Violent Femmes- “Blister in the Sun”
Dolly Parton- “9 to 5”
10,000 Maniacs- “Trouble Me”
Kenny Loggins- “Danny’s Song”
Simon and Garfunkel- “America” or “Cecilia” (depending on my mood)
REM- "It’s The End Of The World As We Know It"

 

[auntpolly]

OMG! You are reading my mind! I am making potato soup and can't stop thinking about my own list.....I felt like I should have a REM song on there and It's the End of the World would be one of my favorites!

Those are great lists but I am afraid, according to the rules (see page 1645a of the "rules and agreements" that you must narrow to just 10!!!! Thank you for your cooperation.

I really have to give you credit for that Concrete Blonde pick -- I love their cover of "Beware of Darkness" and I saw them perform in Philly at the Chestnut Street Cafe in 1985 or 86. Very cool!

 

[TheBellhop]

Woohoo! Go treesinger! #3 Precious Things...haha take THAT auntpollly!

 

[Beanie]

Beanie, have you ever seen Sarah Brightman live? I saw her do Phantom of the Opera and it was sooooooo great!

I wish! I haven't seen Phantom of the Opera, but I do love the soundtrack so much! Someone on here said that Bloomingdales did their store windows with Phantom of the Opera this year...I would love to see that!
