[jkayet]

This is hard. As much as I hate these sort of threads, I am absolutely compelled to post anyway...
U2 ? Bad
Starsailor ? Born Again
Doves ? Cedar Room
Idlewild ? These Wooden Ideas
Elbow ? Scattered Black and Whites
Nick Drake ? Which Will
Ed Harcourt ? She fell into my arms
Neil Young ? Old Man
Bob Dylan ? Shelter from the Storm
The Verve ? On Your Own

 

[meegannie]

So this is at the moment, yeah? I'm leaving U2 off because I never listen to them, and they haven't released anything in a while, so even though they're my favourite band of all time (or at least tied), they're not one of my favourite bands at the moment. Enough waffling; here you go:

1. Starsailor (Silence Is Easy....mostly for the live aspect of this song....it's just so sing-a-long)
2. Ed Harcourt (Sugarbomb.... and I have no other place to vent this, but I am SOOOOOOOO upset that I can't find one of my Ed singles )
3. Idlewild (These Are Just Years)
4. Doves (Cedar Room)
5. Elbow (Asleep In the Back)
6. Tom McRae (Streetlight)
7. Seafood (Similar Assassins)
8. Mojave 3 (A Room With a View)
9. Granada (Amazing It Seems)
10. Kent (Duett)

The Clash - Clash City Rocker
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
The Doors - End of the Night
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
Garbage - Stupid Girl
Beatles - Norwegian Wood

[Bunbury]

There's no way I can do this with fave song of each band

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

neither, so I'll just pick one.

1) U2 - Stay
2) The Clash - Safe European Home
3) Blur - This Is A Low
4) Manic Street Preachers - Roses In The Hospital
5) Crowded House - Four Seasons In One Day
6) Ash - Nicole
7) Elastica - Stutter
8) Saint Etienne - Like A Motorway
9) Radiohead - Bulletproof
10) The Verve - On Your Own

other stuff that I have been listening to that doesn't actually qualify as a favourite band but I've been listening to a hell lot

Suede - Killing Of A Flashboy
The Jam - The Eton Rifles
Neil Young - Birds
The Cure - A Letter To Elise
etc.

 

[Angela Harlem]

1. Bush - Come Down
2. REM - Nightswimming
3. LiVE - Freaks
4. Blur - On Your Own
5. INXS - Beautiful Girl
6. Hunters & Collectors - Throw Your Arms Around Me
7. Rolling Stones - Paint It Black
8. Crowded House - Mean To Me
9. Metallica - One
10. Talking Heads - Slippery People

These all change.
U2 is my favourite but out of habit - Running To Stand Still is my personal song of choice, but like any band with a huge back catalog it gets pretty hard to determine an absolute favourite after a while.

 

[AcrobatMan]

5. INXS - Beautiful Girl
[/B]

just an innocent question, are you a guy or a girl

 

[Angela Harlem]

I was fem last time I looked

I'm confused why this song made you ask though lol.

 

[Angela Harlem]

[yertle-the-turtle]

I've got On Your Own stuck in my head.

The Blur one, not the Verve one.
