without a doubt still THE BEATLES,but well into CHUMBAWAMBA

[King Cobra]

I'm one of those people that doesn't have a favorite band/song. If anything, my fav. song is only my favorite for less than a week. So I vote: "Errr, I have no idea, lots of favorites, I guess."

[ingenious]

I'd have to say a few:

Switchfoot/Meant to Live
Switchfoot/Gone
Newsboys/Shine
Newsboys/He Reigns
Casting Crowns/What if His People Prayed?

[vollspacken]

I have to go by decades:

60s: Brian Wilson & The Beach Boys - Good Vibrations
70s: Kraftwerk - Trans Europa Express/Metall auf Metall/Abzug
80s: New Order - Blue Monday
90s: Underworld - Dirty Epic
2Ks: RJD2 - Smoke & Mirrors

'Smothered hope' by Skinny Puppy. No contest.

'Malady' from the new Impreative Reaction CD is pretty f'n ace though, deseves a mention, as does any post-Radio-Activity Kraftwerk.

[Abstract]

Like King Cobra, I really have no favourite, and any favourite is only a favourite for a few days. My favourite this week was the same favourite I had 4 weeks ago, and 3 months ago, and last year. All the songs by Kings Of Convenience are being played all the time right now, but that was true 1.5 years ago as well. My favourite's list is cyclic. K of C will be my favourite again probably in 2 months.

What's RJD2?

[SilvorX]

hmm mine would have to be (tied)..

Big Sugar, and their songs "Red Rover" and "Leave My Guitar Alone"
The Guess Who, and their songs "Bye Bye Babe" and "Runnin' Back to Saskatoon" and "Hand me Down World"

[SuperChuck]

Current favorite song = "Rains in Asia" by Jump, Little Children Check them out on iTunes - great stuff.

Favorite artist = Madonna (Yeah, yeah, I've heard it all before so don't even start.)

[jbembe]

DEREK AND THE DOMINOS

GOT TO GET BETTER IN A LITTLE WHILE

[Capt Underpants]

My favorite artist is linkin park. My favorite song (for this moment) is Third Eye Blind's Semi-Charmed Life.

[Dahl]

Not my fave band, but Thin Lizzy's Still in love with you (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=719507&selectedItemId=719471) from their Live and Dangerous album might just be the best song ever. It's got one of the best guitar solis in the rock world.

[Doctor Q]

It changes over time (which I think is a good sign), but for many months my favorite has been

Foo Fighters/Have It All

[Shaun.P]

Favourite band: All American Rejects

Favourite Song: Howie Day - Collide

[mad jew]

Can I pick two? They're very different and it depends what mood I'm in as to which I prefer.

Heavenly Divine - Jedi Mind Tricks

Adagio For Strings - DJ Tiesto.

[Jay42]

Pink Floyd: Time

[doucy2]

i listen to too much music to have a fav. song
everyone needs to get the new blessed union of souls album "perception" its really good

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

If I had to choose just one artist/band (from my favorites) it would have to be The Clash.

Best song is worse, that's virtually impossible to choose, because it changes over time and depends what mood you're in what you're doing etc. If I were to (try and) pick one that's lasted over time, fits most moods and activities I would have to go with Edie (Ciao Baby) by The Cult (http://www.dailytunes.com/songs/20050601203249.html), that's just an awesome song...

Edit: Wow, this thread was over a year old...

[gwuMACaddict]

[Compile 'em all]

"The immigrant song" by "Led Zepplin".

[Badradio]

<snip>
Zero 7 - In the Waiting Line
</snip>

Love that track. I had "Give It Away" playing while we signed the register at my wedding. Zero 7 that is - not the RHCP.

Favourite artist and song? I must have heard "Alive" by Pearl Jam a thousand times and I never get tired of it.

[faintember]

Adagio For Strings - DJ Tiesto.
In case ya didn't know it is Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber, arranged/remixed by DJ Tiesto. (sry, just a nitpicky composer thing!) :p

Of Music that People would actually know:

Pink Floyd- Dark Side of the Moon
(i know, people will say that Dark Side is an whole album, not a song, but to me, conceptually it (any many of their albums) is one long song, divided into movements, much like a Beethoven Symphony, or a Opera by Mozart)

Of Music that most have no clue of:
John Adams- Harmonium

[iJon]

That's a tough one. I would have to say either

Good Times Are Killing Me - Modest Mouse (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=6395765&selectedItemId=6396097)

or

Motorcycle Drive By - Third Eye Blind (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=772068&selectedItemId=772028)

H. by TooL
Endless Sacrifice by Dream Theater
Eulogy by TooL

[cooknwitha]

At the moment:

Artist: Robert Palmer (his early stuff VERY underrated)
Song: Pop Musik by M (in the mood for disposable pop)

[Eevee]

Crowded House - "Don't Dream It's Over"


Wow, that was during the good old '80s. Brings back memories...

[mduser63]

Hmm, it changes all the time, but I guess I'd say Be The Rain by Neil Young. I just got back from a CSN concert, and they sang a Daylight Again/Find The Cost Of Freedom medley. That's going to stick with me for a while.

[macmanmatty]

"Are We In Trouble Now" By Mark Knopfler

[iSaint]

"Shower the People" by James Taylor

[tag]

I have no clue what my favorite is, I do believe it changes every other night plus I got some new CDs in the mail from Amazon today so I might have a new favorite tonight :D .

So I checked trusty iTunes and apparently these are my tied at first place ones at least... ;)

Aimee Allen - "Revolution"
The Servant - "Cells"
Daughter Darling - "Broken Bridge"
Ok Go - "Get Over It"
Anabret - "The Coming Night"

[amholl]

Safe European Home and Guns of Brixton by The Clash. Best band ever!

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

Guns of Brixton by The Clash.Nice pick... (http://www.dailytunes.com/songs/20050602172946.html) :)
Best band ever!You might be right about that, too... ;)

[Sirus The Virus]

Miss Sarajevo - U2

This song is such a powerful song. Whenever Luciano Pavarotti comes in, it gives me chills every time.

[Prelude2Tragedy]

At the moment its...
Coheed & Cambria - In Keeping Secrets Of Silent Earth: 3
and
Coheed & Cambria - The Willing Well II: From Fear Through The Eyes Of Madness

[Melkor]

At the moment it is Cemetary Gates by Pantera
but my favourite band is Guns N' Roses by far. Axl Rose is the man.

[noaccess]

My fave song would be Sheryl Crow's 'Good is good'. You can tell she put a lot of emotion into her newest album.

[Seasought]

Ich Will - Rammstein
Son of a Gun - KMFDM
Wish - Nine Inch Nails

[Counterfit]

I have to go by decades:

60s: Brian Wilson & The Beach Boys - Good Vibrations
70s: Kraftwerk - Trans Europa Express/Metall auf Metall/Abzug
80s: New Order - Blue Monday
90s: Underworld - Dirty Epic
2Ks: RJD2 - Smoke & Mirrors

vSpacken
I like three of those, and haven't heard the other two. Kraftwerk is awesome, so is Underworld, and the RI Philharmonic is playing with the Beach Boys next month :D

Anyways, I think my favorite of all time is Jupiter, but the (recording) artist varies. Holst for teh win!

[flat6]

At the moment I'm all hot and bothered about the first 2 minutes of Nina Simone's Sinnerman.

[Bern]

Kate Bush her new album Aerial (http://www.katebush.com/) is terrific

[LethalWolfe]

My favorite band is Metallica and my favorite Metallica song is Master of Puppets.


Lethal

[Lacero]

My favorites are Spice Girls, Tatu and Texas.
I don't have a favorite song. They are all good!

[denial]

Loving Arcade Fire at the moment. The album is called Funeral and it is stunning.
