the song is airbag. get it. greatest EVER.

whats your one favourite song? try to narrow it down to one. no u2 songs please, but if it is u2, then say so but at least mention a non-u2 song.

 

[Red Ships of Scalla-Festa]

correction, if you ever find 'airbag' live in oxford 2001, though the quality isnt the absolute greatest, its as good as the version im providing for you now.

im glad i got that off my chest.

 

[MrBrau1]

Shake It Up-The Cars. Dance all night, sleep all day...
Best use of guitars, keyboards, and lyrics... ever,

Oh-Oh Shake It Up!

 

[Red Ships of Scalla-Festa]

never heard it. sounds like a "summer" song. am i correct in my assumption?

 

[MrBrau1]

Yes, it is summery/party like.

 

[*BOOMCHAA!*]

I don't listen to music.
I can't answer that question.

 

[cujo]

Wipe Out. The Safaris.

Nuff Said.

Anything by the Safaris actually.

They rule old school.

 

[Red Ships of Scalla-Festa]

you also cant answer that question on msn because your blocked.

 

[Salome]

the beach boys - god only knows

 

[Michael Griffiths]

At this moment in time...

'Stand By Me' - Ben E. King

 

[Strato Edge]

Non-U2 songs...

"2+2=5" Radiohead- Can't beat that damn song
"No Suprises" Radiohead- Just brilliant

My absoulute fav...."There There" love that song.

Any RH song actually.

 

[~LadyLemon~]

I'll put my vote in for The Humpty Dance.

 

[Red Ships of Scalla-Festa]

mrs. robinson by the beatles or s & g is also ace.

 

[kariatari]

"How Am I Different" - Aimee Mann
"Baba O'Riley" - The Who

 

[HelloAngel]

I especially am very fond of "Space Oddity"

 

[Michael Griffiths]

mrs. robinson by the beatles or s & g is also ace.

Very clever. Hey, have you ever heard Radiohead play 'High and Dry' in concert? I don't think I've ever seen it on a set list.

PS. 'Into The Mystic' by Van Morrison is amazing, too.

 

[u2popmofo]

Best ever?

Rock-wise I'd have to go with:

'Stairway to Heaven' by Led Zepp. The song that Tenacious D wrote "Tribute" about.

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

this is going to be such a fun thread

 

[Red Ships of Scalla-Festa]

yes, ive heard about three different versions of it live. its not bad. they havent played since the beginning of the ok computer tour though. why?

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Macarena. End of discussion.

 

[speedracer]

The best song of all time is one of the following:

U2 - Where The Streets Have No Name
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
Beatles - Yesterday
Van Morrison - Tupelo Honey
Led Zeppelin - NOT Stairway To Heaven! Instead, When The Levee Breaks.

 

[Red Ships of Scalla-Festa]

btw, did anyone download the song that i told them to?

 

[Kieran McConville]

Opus 40 - Mercury Rev
Madame George - Van Morrison
Fall on Me - REM
You and whose Army - Radiohead
Love letter - Nick Cave and his bad seeds

 

[Stories for Boys]

in my opinion...

u2-love is blindness
radiohead-wolf at the door (flan in the face...what more could you ask for? i love flan! and, y'know, it's a great song...)
jeff buckley-morning theft OR lover, you should've come over

of course, my favorite song of all time is really about 20 songs...

 

[kariatari]

btw, did anyone download the song that i told them to?

i did, but haven't listenenededed yet. actually, you made me listen to my very first radiohead song way back when - how to disappear completely.

 

[Stories for Boys]

yeah, bear. it's been dl-ing for about an hour...estimated time left: 55min 30sec

 

[Squid]

'The Spawl' by Sonic Youth

 

[brettig]

That's an awesome list Ronald.

Opus 40 - Mercury Rev
Madame George - Van Morrison
Fall on Me - REM
You and whose Army - Radiohead
Love letter - Nick Cave and his bad seeds

I'd also throw in

Fool's Gold - Stone Roses
Like a Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan

 

[Strato Edge]

More I've thought of:

"God Put A Smile Upon Your Face" Coldplay- I don't know why but I love it.

"Tomorrow" U2- Underrated song on an underrated album.

Plus all U2 songs ever created

oh yeah and...

"Baba O'Riley" The Who- The ultimate rock song.

 

[Red Ships of Scalla-Festa]
