mine is pink floyd's "run like hell."

i'm already assuming that most you have never even heard of pink floyd <sigh>

I was too young to watch (much less understand) The Wall when the movie was released, but yes, we've heard of them... http://www.aliensoup.com/ubb/smilies/smile.gif
I have a bunch of favorites, depending on my mood.
If I'm in a nostalgic "I miss that girlfriend" mood, it'd be either Mother Love Bone's "Chloe Dancer" or Goo Goo Dolls' "Iris".
Long drive with windows down and radio blaring tunes: Urge Overkill's "Sister Havana" and the Beatles doing "Twist & Shout".
Romantic tunes: U2's "All I Want Is You" and Van Halen's "Why Can't This Be Love".
The current tune I can't get enough of is Creed's "Higher".
Heck, I guess I like too many songs to be able to pick a favorite! http://www.aliensoup.com/ubb/smilies/smile.gif

It depends on my mood as to what my favorite song is. Right now I'm stuck on the entire Matchbox 20 CD Mad Season.

Too many tunes to list... Right now it is Nine Days: Absolutely. "This is the story of a girl. Who cried a river and drowned the whole world. While she might look sad in photographs she's absolutely stunning; when she smiles..."
One of my favorite a while ago was Seal's Kiss From a Rose.

That Nine Days song is a great summertime driving tune - roll down the windows, turn up the volume, and drive...

I still love the first song from U2: Joshua Tree, Where the Streets Have No Name. Another favorite is on the same album, With or Without You. For all the ladies, I sing right along, and very much in key, too. http://www.aliensoup.com/ubb/smilies/tongue.gif

It depends on my mood as to what my favorite song is.
I agree my favorites vary on a daily basis. Right now my current favorite is by Zombie Nation. I love the beat to it. And yes I do listen to Pink Floyd, too bad I lost the few cassettes I owned when I last moved.
Im not even going to try and pick a favorite song. It really does depend on my mood. And YES I do know Pink Floyd. I acctually used to listen to "Run Like Hell" to get me pumped up before a race. I had The Wall on tape but I listened to it so much that I wore out the tape. I have a poster in my room on it the quote "Mother should I trust the Government" Pink Floyd is one of my favorite bands.

"Two Fine People" by Cat Stevens
Though, "I think I see the light" by Cat Stevens (again), and "Brown Eyed Woman" and "Till the Morning Comes" by the Grateful Dead are definitely close to #1!

Speaking of Pink Floyd, have any of you tried the trick with Dark Side of the Moon and The Wizard of Oz?
I did it a while back and it was kinda freaky. It actually does sync up.

I still haven't seen that, but I have seen the mysterious silioute of the person in the background of Three Men and a Baby.
Last time I saw that movie, I completely forgot about it and it caught my eye and gave me chills.

Poss, I love those songs Chloe Dancer and Sister Havana- I used to blast them all the time...
I can't say I have a favorite song, either. I enjoy hearing my favorite songs of a certain time frame and thinking of the memories that I attach to those songs. Like TEB's Semi-charmed life in the summer of 97' and my blasting of Prodigy and Bjork before heading out to the my job at a night club a few yrs ago- or Hey Jelousy by the Gin Blossoms when I just got out of high school..hanging out being' naughty with friends...and of course seeing John Easedale of Dramarama at a NJ club yrs after his hits (sporting less hair of course -"I'll give you anything, anything!"

Subject to change but I will narrow it down to 2 songs: Ministry's "So What" and the Beatles's "Hey You've Got to Hide Your Love Away"

If you play the movie The Wizard of Oz, and start playing Dark Side of the Moon at a specific part (at the beginning of the MGM lion's 3rd roar), the music perfectly syncs up with the movie until the album ends. Makes for some very cool moments.
I'd describe it to you, but it would ruin it. Needless to say, it's trippier than listening to DSOTM by itself.

DD> Thanks for the tip! Now, I must find copies of DSotM and WoZ...
Mth> There really is no hanging munchkin, just some funky shadows. http://www.aliensoup.com/ubb/smilies/frown.gif Wait, I'm frowning, like I'm *disappointed* there was no hanging munchkin - how sick is *that*?
DD and MTH> The 3MaaB silhouette was "supposedly" the ghost of a dead boy - what it actually was, was a cardboard standee of some kid - I think th ekind that they's prop up in a crowd scene to make a space look more filled-in.
LM> *Awesome* taste in music! I just love it when I find out others share some of my faves. Every time Hey Jealousy plays on the radio (and it's too few between mind you) I've just *got* to crank it up.

LM, Semi-charmed Life *always* reminds me of my first bf. I just got the cd a few weeks ago, too.
Songs are like smells - every once in a while, they just take you back somewhere, and half of the time, you can't place where they put you... ::sigh::

I've got my MP3 player loaded with lots of music from Live, matchbox 20 and creed. I've also thrown in a couple songs like Imagine by Lennon, Sailing by Cristopher Cross, Fire and Rain by James Stewart (my idol) and Listen to the Music by the Doobie Bros (great road trip music.)

Geez...I haven't ever posted in this thread? Thought I had. Hmm.
My favourite song at the moment is "Holy Grail" by the Hunters and Collectors, and "Good Riddance" by Green Day and "No Aphrodisiac" by The Whitlams would have to be up there too.
