at the present for me;

The Beatles - Yesterday
Rolling Stones - Under My Thumb
Jeff Buckley - Last Goodbye
Elliott Smith - Can't Make a Soung
Tom Waits - Ol' 55

and some fairly new songs im really liking at the moment

Bon Iver - Brackett, WI (anyone else liking Bon Iver at the moment?)
Telefon Tel Aviv - The Birds
M83 - Kim & Jessie
Animal Collective - Bluish
Tame Impala - Half Full Glass of Wine (Good upcoming band that I think alot of you will like; Think along the lines of Cream). www.myspace.com/tameimpala

HUGE Bon Iver fan, and of course that Dark Was The Night comp (best ever?). His new stuff is fantastic, have you heard blood bank? Great list.

Firstly welcome to Celticsblog!
Yer, dark was the night is just fantastic, there's basically no song I don't enjoy off it. Blood bank is great aswell, I've listened once or twice so I'll have to make some time to really have a good listen over.

Ha thanks, but I've actually been around for quite some time just my first post in the forums  :). So I guess more like a welcome to the forums! If you really like some of that stuff we mentioned I'd invite click on my profile I have a link to my music blog, called Knox Road. You may find it of great interest.

Impossible for me to pick 5.

So many classics by U2, Guns n' Roses, RHCP, The Beatles, Tupac, Eminem, The Beach Boys, Coldplay.

I need to have a long hard think.

ranking top 5 songs is pretty hard....

but I will say maybe my favorite song of all time is "You got me" by the roots

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBBBhQUl99w
TP  "You got me" isn't my all time favorite but I would probably put it in my top 10.


I can't think of my all time favorites but these are what I have been listening to lately:

How about 5 songs I think are really cool right now...all time is too hard. I will try to spread styles around.

John Frusciante- Central (Just sounds so epic)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9jsRZzjrgI

K'naan- Take a minute (off his new album, Troubadour, I found out about him years ago on this site on a mix someone made, his new album is ridiculous, mixes so many genres, even has Kirk Hammett on a song with a great guitar solo)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIhm94a-8SE


Bloc Party- Pioneers (Saw them in Boston at the House of Blues two nights ago, they put on such a great show)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOvZ8ln1riQ

Jeff Buckley- Eternal Life (No one touches Jeff vocally)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_RQDpPcsjE

Vampire Weekend- Campus (Such a fun song)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H47KFAaw1dU&feature=related

Yeah, so listen to all of those  ;D

How can you have an all time fav song? If you enjoy music, you would start listening to new released music and not have a favorite, becuase you end up finding a song you love and keep listening to.

If you listening to the same cd everyday on your to work or school, you would get tired of it, even if it had your own all time favorite song.

So you have a favorite song only for a certain period of time...until you over use it and move onto different music.

2. Gamma Ray - Beck
3. Last Trip - Kasabian
4. The Stroke - Billy Squier
5. God Loves Ugly - Atmosphere

Not necessarily my own top 5... but they are 5 that will never be forgotten.

Does the auto-embedding not work anymore for youtube vids?

I disagree.  I always expand my music collection, but some songs really strike a chord (lame pun intended) with you, and you can listen to them often.  You don't put it on repeat and rock to it all day, that would ruin the song.  It's like a great movie; you can watch it every year or so and re-enjoy it.  Except with music it's more like every month  ;D

I went away this weekend, didn't have a chance to check the forums.  Going to have to go home and check out these songs after work.  Oh, and I forgot... I don't think the song is particularly meaningful, or well orchestrated, but I can and do listen to Journey Don't Stop Believing on repeat.  Often.

I decided to go with 5 songs from my favorite artist. Real deep stuff, easily the best rapper alive.

i love immortal technique.  always refreshing to hear political hip hop

Absolutely. Found out he was doing a show in Portland, Maine in May and was practically overwhelmed with joy. I don't think I've ever been so captivated or influenced by any artist.

I have a tattoo of one of his quotes, "Read between the lines, and free your mind. Revolution is the birth of equality and the anti-thesis to oppression."

PS... Finally, 1000th post. Glad I could do it talking about something I feel so strongly about.
