Saw a recent YT vid of the Killers at the TRNSMT festival in Glasgow where they covered this. Really nice rendition, and I love it when Brandon Flowers says it's the song he wishes he had written. I'll bet theres a few songwriters who feel the sane way...
I had so many cool choices. But this song never fails.
[edit later]
Nope, I’m going back to David Bowie - Right.
Not Duran Duran - Careless Memories, and not Television - Marquee Moon – they’re nice, they’re meaningful (to me, at the time) but they’re not, well, important. The Young Americans album is possibly the most important thing I’ve ever heard in the history of music.
I’m with you in Violent Femmes. That album is so tight.
Are you familiar with The Mercy Seat?
hmmm well, i first heard Invisible Sun when I was 12 (Mom got me a best of The Police album for XMas) and the whole thing has just shaped a good chunk of me as I got through the ‘hair where there was no hair’ phase. ‘Invisible Sun’ just always resonated deeply and gives me hope in the face of it’s opposite. This may come across as trite but it is neat that the song is for me what the song is about, err, if that makes sence. I guess I don’t know of any other ‘loop back’ songs that work quite that way for me, heh. Therefore it is magical.
It is hard to argue with that one.
And now I will listen to it...for the 10,000th time.
One of my favourite Led Zep albums that, bought it on release with the ‘magic colour’ inner sleeve.
Funnily enough me and the Mrs had lunch in a cafe near here last week, and they told us Robert Plant had been in a few days earlier.
The Kinks - Waterloo Sunset
What a beautiful song. It is absolutely one of my favorite songs. When I remember, and hear, it in my head, I always forget the shitty and tinny quality of Shel Talmy's production. It doesn't matter, though. Davies wrote one of the finest melodies in all of western music. And of course, the lyrics are brilliant.
Absolutely one of the greatest.
I can't believe that the Glimmer Twins wouldn't give Mick T the credit ( and $) for turning Keef's "Japanese Guitar" into such a lovely song. It was also Mick The Taller's idea to bring in the incomparable Paul Buckmaster (RIP) for the orchestrations. Talk about cutting off your beautiful nose to spite your pretty face...
It is a weird thing. Lou Reed is inarguably my favorite songwriter not named Rodgers and Hart, but I still went with Jumpin' Jack Flash as my favorite song (record)
In another flash of time, though, I agree with Merle Haggard that "You Are My Sunshine" is indeed the greatest song ever written.
It's a hard, impossible, thing, and one that changes by the hour. Very similar to my other favorite list-making waste of happy time. Perfect for those long holiday car rides with the folks...
Ha ha!
I have a friend who once paid a stripper to dance to "By-tor The Snow Dog" by Rush.
The weirdest thing is that I don't think he did it ironically.
Edit: that list also needs "Amazing Grace" by anyone.
It's a sure winner. Everyone loves women taking their clothes off, and everyone loves "Amazing Grace"
This is the song I sing most often in the shower so this is what I’m going with!
The Gatherers - Words of my Mouth
My fav all time song changes all the time. Impossible to pick one.
So one of the first that popped into mind was this:
Midlake - Roscoe.
I don't know what the lyrics mean - but I can't get enough of the smooth grooving bass line - and the harmonies on the vocals are the definition of beautiful.
Hard to narrow it down so I'll just go with the usual suspect. A Day in the Life.
To make things even more interesting, if anyone feels like sharing, I'd love to hear about the best originals that you might have discovered browsing YT or elsewhere, from completely or relatively unknown songwriters ...My first entry is a familiar folk sound but it's beautiful and haunting all the same, from a hella talented young woman, Lindsay Walden's "Isabella" I came across this a decade ago while looking for arcade fire covers.
Following that are a couple other incredibly talented artists, at least one will be a little better known around here, but still mostly unknown in the music world at large: Look Mum No computer's "Modern Gas" and Sol Seppy's "Enter One" - That one pays off if you're patient for the build up... Her "Slow Fuzz" is more immediately gratifying from a pop sensibility., but her whole album, bells of 1 2, is incredible.. Easily the most brilliant undiscovered work of modern music I've ever encountered ..) ... 3 very different music styles represented with these picks.
Great having conformation of the worldies, but even better to come across stuff here that we've never ever heard of. Until now.
Television - Days
Although, maybe J&MC - You Trip Me Up.
The guitars sound like a circular saw going through corrugated iron sheets. And that's before they turn them up.
Never tire of this ol’ chestnut 🌰

hah! I knew it would be Piss Up a Rope before I even clicked to check.
Yah, if we were talking fav bands Ween would certainly have been in the running.
Changed my mind.
God, I love that song!
Some good choices all around, I look forward to going through ones I haven't heard or haven't heard enough. And I'm very happy that by and large everyone stuck to the 1 post rule.
Favorite? Don’t know. Though I like “Be Little With Me” by Stars of the Lid.
Yeah @Daveypoo I'm right there with you... I know @oat_phipps laid down the law and said don't be a p**sy pick one, lol, but damn...to me there's different criteria. The song that's emotionally/sentimentally your favorite; your favorite song artistically; your favorite produced/engineered song...etc.
Fuck it.
The Beatles "I Feel Fine".
When I was 6 years old and had my little dinky 45RPM kids record player, as the kid of a Father born in 1950 (so he was 17 years old when Sgt. Pepper came out), there was no shortage of classic 60's-80's vinyl. I'd take a stack of old 45's and put them on, giving a listen. Occasionally if my Pop was within earshot he'd give me some background on the song, bands, etc.
One day I put the "I Feel Fine/She's A Woman" single on (I knew who the Beatles were a bit by that point) and I'll never forget that mosquito sounding feedback going into the main riff, and how for the next two and a half minutes my body had goosebumps.
I loved music as a kid before by then...the songs in cartoons & the stories my Mom told me of me loving the original Gong Show with Chuck Barris. But that 45, that day...I remember it crystal clear and it was the beginning of me not only loving the Beatles but of loving music so much. I still love when I hear a certain song or when during recording I get that tingly, excited feeling throughout my body...no other art form can make a person feel the way music does.
Yeah! You did it!
Ah jeeze, this is so hard! I really don’t think in terms of favorites, and even then usually in certain categories, not “of all time.
But here’s the one that made the cut after listening to hours of candidates.
