Top 3 songs of all time

[coventryrover]

Today mainly revisiting my student days, so


French Disko-  Stereolab
Feel the pain -Dinosaur Jr
Teethgrinder - Therapy?

[BillyStubbsTears]

Excellent thread. Watch some t**t ruin it by mentioning Coldplay.

Tonight I'm in a stripped down Sheffield state of  mind.

Being Boiled - Human League (the original version, not the disco one with the farty horns and clapping and shit. The one with the percussion that sounds like a black hole)
Sensoria - Cabaret Voltaire.
Nag Nag Nag - Cabaret Voltaire

[River Don]

I woke up in a stripped down, Sheffield state of mind

Tuff little Unit - Come and Join the Future
Coco Steel and Lovebomb - Feel It
Tomas - MindSong

[SoundbiteBarmyArmy]

I'm a Courteeners fan and on Monday I downloaded their new album 'Concrete Love', there's a couple of beauties on there and I can't get enough of 'Has he told you that he loves you yet', 'Next time you call' & 'Summer'.

As many people above have mentioned - my preference for my three favourite songs change on a weekly if not daily basis.

[Wild Rover]

Today is "Red Album" day.
Tomorrow ( Whilst travelling to Uk ) Blue Album.

[Dutch Uncle]

Tomorrow could go one of two ways......

If we win all upbeat:
Don't Stop me Now - Queen
Take it Easy - Eagles
500 miles - Proclaimers

But if we lose it's slit your wrist time.......
Desperado - Eagles
After the Goldrush - Neil Young
Anything by Leonard Cohen, but probably Suzanne

[The Mighty Brian Rowe]

Mine changes by the hour but at this exact moment in time:

The Ballad of Dorothy Parker - Prince
Kingsize - Boo Radleys
Cornerstone - Arctic Monkeys

...although I have had Elvis Costello's Green Shirt going round my head for the last week or so as well.

[wilts rover]

No one watching BBC 4 this evening?

Wuthering Heights - Kate Bush
Cloudbusting - Kate Bush
Oh England, My Lionheart - Kate Bush

for gentlemen of a certain age....

[BillyStubbsTears]

Mad Euro-fascist pop. You can't beat Laibach, a bunch from Slovenia. No one knows if they really ARE fascists or if they have spent 35 years living an artistic image to take the piss out of fascist tendencies in their homeland - the sort that ripper Yugoslavia apart a few years after they started.

Sympathy for the Devil. This MUST be on everyone's bucket list of music vids, just to see how bizarre pop music can be.  And if that one isn;t bizarre enough, have a look at their cover of the 80s Euro-pop pap "Life is Life".

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7muCRio2nQ" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7muCRio2nQ</a>

Tanz Mit  - If the last one is ridiculous, this one is chilling. The Wagnerian dance music of the fascist revolution when European democracy finally collapses. And one of the best techno tracks ever laid down
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zSRcFxZVAA" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zSRcFxZVAA</a>

The Whistleblowers - They've mellowed a tad with age, but in many ways, this is the most chilling one of the lot. A maddeningly catchy theme tune for the next generation's Hitlerjungend.

Horse with no name..........America
Ruthless Queen..................Kayak ( Dutch group )

Dont worry , be happy....Bobby somebody

[BillyStubbsTears]

Everything Breaks - The Woodentops
Indiana Wants Me - R Dean Taylor
(You Make Me Feel) Mighty Real - Sylvester.
(No fascist revolutionary music today)

[The Red Baron]

Highlights of the last two days while listening to cds driving to Leamington and back:

The Fall- Paranoia Man in cheap s**t room
Public Image Ltd- Poptones
Chic- My Forbidden Lover

[moses]

Also having been away my choices are limited was tempted to go:
Chocolate-Hey
Or
Let it go

Now back in the adult world prefer something darker.
Hyperballad by Bjork (love the imagery of standing at the top of a cliff every morning and deciding whether you want to carry on each day)
Under my Thumb by the Rolling Stones. (The lyrics are dubious at best but the delivery is sublime)
Luca by Suzanne Vega (Her pain runs through me).
Will do a slightly more upbeat one later.

[Iberian Red]

[Donnywolf]

Sorry that I came back (posting) but

1) Bohemian Rhapsody

I have hundreds of candidates for spots 2 and 3 but they are SO FAR away from the number 1 spot that I don't want to put them in the same "post" as Queen and Bohemian Rhapsody !

Its an age thing again and in 50 years time "it" will not win a similar poll  - and that Merry Christmas everybody by Slade may not be the "go to" song at Christmaaaaaas but till thensorry there is no competition.

TraxFM and others have been desperate to depose BH by "introducing conditions" in their annual polls but there are still too many who remember "it" and what it meant to them to defeat it by fair means . It will happen soon and I will just have to live with it when it does although to ME it is THE Song of my lifetime!

[BillyStubbsTears]

This thread seems to have died a death. Here's to resurrecting it.

I'm reckoning that Chvrches' By The Throat from last year might just have knocked New Order's Perfect Kiss off the top of the Best Synth Pop Song In History chart. And Lauren Mayberry is easier on the eye than Barney and Hooky an all.

In fact their entire Bones of What You Believe album is as near as you'll ever get to perfect synth pop. It takes New Order's chord structures and 1980s Roland synths and marries them to sharp-as-a-knife modern production. Give it a go pop pickers.

[IDM]

Ta BST.

The other day I was watching/listening to you tube clips of old records.  Here's another top 3 I found:

New Model Army - No Rest - this was once performed on TOTP where the band wore T shirts with the slogan "only stupid bas**rds take heroin" and the BBC (bless her) made them tape over "bas**rds"!!

Toy Dolls - Fisticuffs in Frederick Street - the B side (and better IMHO) to their "punk" version of Nellie the Elephant.

Sisters of Mercy - Afterhours - only available on the B side of the Body and Soul 12" single.  Long, dark, quite atmospheric.  Notable for being played in the background for my first time
