Your all-time five favourite songs

[Ken_A]

November Rain - Guns n Roses
Song 2 - Blur
Beachball - Nalin and Kane
Born Slippy - Underworld
Knocked Up - Kings of leon

But depends on mood - I could list a top 100 and then a top 10 by genre. Dance, trance, chill out, house, rock, hard rock etc.
I really love music - simple as - all music and I dont care for names - if I like it I like it and thats that.

Most played band on my phone at the mo is 'The Twang', great rock and funny lyrics mixed with a bit of depth, really understated.

[Aztecs27]

IMHO "Piece of Mind" trumps "More Than A Feeling" as Boston's best song.

It's impossible for me to do a top 5. so I'm not going to.

En contraire young man, the Radiohead tracks in my top 5 are quite obviously less than 20 years old, as anyone with a modicum of musical taste would have known
