How about this for an off-topic post?

Mine is 'Enjoy The Silence' by Depeche Mode.

Absolute perfection - I have loved it since I first heard it almost twenty years ago. It helps that Violator is probably my favourite album ever, but I can't think of another song that makes me feel the way this does.

It had a wicked video as well - ridiculously simple, but so effective.

And if I could sing - I'd want a voice like Dave Gahan's.

Great song Zeb

I'll throw in She's leaving home by The Beatles.

Fantastic touching lyrics, beautiful counter melodies, strings, ah sheer perfection

 

That's like asking me what my favorite movie is. I can't really decide. It depends on my mood. I'd have to figure out what makes a song or movie a "favorite" anyway? Is it one you can listen to or watch over and over again? There are lots of songs and movies I like and some more than others but I don't know how to pick just one out and say it's "the best".

 

Impossible question for me to answer

Been collecting music for over 16 years, just too much to chose from.

Fave DM song however, I must agree Enjoy the Silence is up there with the best of DMs work. I listened to a lot DM when I was growing up.

I remember the video, its Dave Gahan walking around the countryside dressed as a king. The violator album is a corker apart from 'blue dress' which for some reason always got on my nerves. I still have Violator (on vinyl) somewhere i think it was the last DM album I bought they have gone off the boil in recent years I think.

top five DM songs (in no particular order, yes a cop out)

Everything Counts
Policy of Truth
Never Let Me Down Again
Enjoy The Silence
Blasphemous Rumors

Jeff Buckley - Hallelulah
Bent - Swollen
Love and Rockets - Haunted When The Minutes Drag
Cat Stevens - Matthew and Son
Etta James - At Last
Sam Cooke - A Change is Gonna Come
Arcade Fire - Black Mirror

But it changes all the time...

 

I think this poll needs to be thought out in more detail, no offence meant there Zeb

I think there needs to be categories and then people could vote, but it needs to incorporate all tastes and varietys so that when the votes have been done no one can say , well i though such a song should of been included.

Zeb if you take this up or if anyone else decides to then let me know as ill help if i can

I have a somewhat strange love for music. On one side I am a classic freak, so Bach's organworks is surely on the list but also Edvard Grieg with the Peer Gynt Suite. Mozart's Requiem and Mussorgky (Pictures of an exibition, Night at bold mountain) and not to forget Chopin.

On the other side I just love percussion music, so that would be Japanese drums (Ichiban Daiko), African drums (Masterdrummers of Burundi) but also Les Tambours du Bronx, a French group who uses oildrums, STOMP and so on.

I'm also very fond of Frank Zappa.

 

Favorite or not, right now I'm listening to the "Kind of Blue" CD by Miles Davis.

 

Whoops - I should have known this would be practically impossible for most people! If truth be told, there are thousands of songs that have been 'my favourite' at one point or other, but I don't know of a song that has 'stayed with me' as much as Enjoy The Silence has over the years. I guess the following are all songs which, if I were anal enough to make a laminated list, would make it on there:

Hyperballad (Bjork)
Something I Can Never Have (Nine Inch Nails)
Last Goodbye (Jeff Buckley)
Street Spirit (Radiohead)
Sharpen Up The Knives (Puressence)
Mayonaie (Smashing Pumpkins)
A Deisgn For Life (Manics)
Be Quiet And Drive (Deftones)
I Can Only Disappoint You (Mansun)
Everlong (Foo Fighters)
How Soon is Now (Smiths)
Whitewater (Kyuss)
Sometimes It Snows In April (Prince)
Black (Pearl Jam)
Sober (Tool)
This Woman's Work (Kate Bush)
Shine On You Crazy Diamond - Part 1 & 2 (Pink Floyd)
To Live Is To Die (Metallica)

There's hundreds more - but they immediately spring to mind

 

Michael Jackson - Baby Be Mine - (funk)
Sister Sledge - Thinkin' Of You (70's/80's)
Tupac Shakur - Unconditional Love (Hip Hop/Rap)
George Benson - Breezin' (70's/80's)
Jodeci - Get On Up (R&B)
Billie Holiday - God Bless The Child (Oldies)
Barry White - Let The Music Play (70's/80's)
Junior - Too Late (Funk)
Whitesnake - Is This Love (70's/80's)
Ultra Nate - Free (Club)
Marvin Gaye - What's goin' on (Oldies)
Tupac Shakur - Letter 2 My Unborn (unreleased OG version) (Hip Hop/Rap)
David Morales - Needin' U (Club)
Joey Negro - Must Be The Music (Club)

There's loads more, but these are the ones that pop up in the head

 

Queen - Who Wants To Live Forever, Is This The World We Created and Save Me to name a few.
Manics - From Despair To Where, Imperial Bodybags and numerous others.

I have quite a range of music on my ipod although I need to opt for a bigger one as im having to take stuff off but it goes from Queen to Wurzels, Slipknot to Westlife and Take That, Bee Gees, Bon Jovi, Sterophonics, Status Quo, Eminem, Manics, Oasis etc.
not a fan of dance or any of its crap spin offs, r n b, classical, pretty much the best part of Radio 1's setlist, all this dizzy rascal/p diddy/whoever else crap that sounds the same. Give me rock or cheesy pop any day

 

Metallica - One
Rage Against The Machine - Killing in the Name
Megadeth - Holy Wars . . Punishment Due
Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power
Stained - Outside
Stereophonics - Dakota
U2 - The Fly
Pearl Jam - Alive
Oasis - Champagne Supernova
Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit

KORN - Freak on a Leash
Kings of Leon - Call me, Closer
Guns n Roses - Sweet child o mine, Paradise City
Greenday - Wake me up when September ends
Depeche Mode - Walking in my shoes
Audioslave - Set it off
Coldplay - Square One
DMX - Party UP

And absolutely tons more

 

If anyone says Daphne & Celest then they should be banned immediately

I have a very varied taste in Music, so I'll just say most of it, I don't like country music though apart from East/West bound and down (smoky & the bandit theme tune).

 

cool

I hope they never grace us with their presence again.

 

ha just found this with them getting bottled at the Leeds & Reading festival and then trying to make out they weren't bothered although one of them looks like she's gonna burst into tears http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?i...eds+festival&start=20&ndsp=20&um=1&hl=en&sa=N

 

U. G. L. Y. You aint got no lullaby you ugly, hay hay, you ugly

Oh dear... They should have been shot and removed from stage

 

It has to be Rene & Renarta "SAVE YOUR LOVE" all sing along now/

Failing that How about Mike & the Mechanics "Living Years".
