Do you have a favourite song?

[deweydm]

Probably Rocks Off by the Stones.

 

[rgpit]

question: why that version instead of the original, Marvin Gaye was maybe the best American voice.

This is my favorite live performance:

The OP asked what's "your" favorite song and that's mine. Look at the artist lineup performing it. Better still, give it a listen.

 

[Pablo27]

True Love Leaves no Traces, Leonard Cohen.

It's interchangeable though with many many others..

 

[dartinbout]

I have, not just a song, but a specific performance of the song. I contend it has everything, rhythm, melody, a bassline and as sexy as anything ever written, plus it's an admission of your willingness to surrender to desire. What could possibly be better?

 

[diddley]

Leonard Cohen The Future

 

[olbobcat]

Private Investigations, Dire Straits

 

[Vintagefan]

Two brothers and a stranger M Knopfler

@GDK It's O Paraiso by Madredeus. I'm sure it will be available if you find another clip in YouTube.

Mine was not a criticism, I respect the personal preference, it was just a curiosity.
Yes, I listened to that version, thank you for posting it.

BTW - Mine is Motorway to Roswell by the Pixies.

 

[Killingbeans]

Papa Was A Rollin' Stone - The Temptations

Probably something different two minutes from now

a fabulous song indeed -- so moody and atmospheric. Just the opening instrumental is worth 'the price of admission'.

I don't realy, my taste changes every day.
but I can mention a (international) song that will never ever tire me:

(and it's this mix)

 

[dasdoing]

and a brazilian song that will never ever tire me

 

[Luke Lemke]

Dream Theater - Pull me under

 

[SoundGuy]

This band you never heard of

 

[Madlop26]

As far as I can remember there are only 2 songs that take me to a state no others can, I can not tell which one I lik....love the most:
Gethsemane (I Only Want to Say) by Ian Gillan....the anger, desperation, and resignation of a man who is about to die.
Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits, Alchemy Album.....Mark Knopfler in crescendo guitar solo, hypnotizes me every time.
