    One all-time favourite song
    I was just listening to the radio at work and Manfred Mann's version of Blinded by the Light came on. As I was grooving and singing along, I was also thinking about how much I have always loved this song. Everytime I hear it is a treat to my ears and I don't think that I could ever get sick of it.

    I'm not going to ask for your "favourite song" because, if you're like me, you'll have more than one. And how you answer may depend on many factors. So just name one. Name one of your all-time favourites. A song that treats your ears and makes the world feel right every time you hear it.

    Read my post. I acknowledged that. Just name one off your long list of favourites. Surely, there's at least one song that when you hear it you just lean back and say, "oh yeah, that's a great song".

    The Left Banke - "Walk Away Renee"
    The Only Ones - "Another Girl, Another Planet"

    These two consistently come to mind when I consider what my favorite songs are.

    That's one that I could pick...

    Here's three off the top of my head;

    "Hush" - Deep Purple
    "Get Off of My Cloud" The Stones
    "Dear Mr. Fantasy" Traffic

    Fleetwood Mac - Rhiannon
    LedZeppelin - Fool In The Rain
    Rush - Available Light
    ELO - Do Ya
    Yes - Awaken
    Transatlantic - All Of The Above
    DCFC - Soul Meets body
    Wilco - Jesus, etc
    Porky Tree - Trains
    Captain Beyond - Sufficiently Breathless
    Camel - Lady Fantasy
    Marillion - Don't Hurt Yourself

    OK - if I gots to pick one for now...its Trains by Porcupine Tree. One of their most sublime songs, its lyrics talk of longing for youth passed by, while Wilson & co mixes acoustic guitar, drum pattern and keyboard ambience to conjure up the sound of a passing frieght train (not as corny as I just described it).

    All is right with the world when I hear this one. Happy. Sad. Taking life too seriously, or not seriously enough. 2 minutes, 17 seconds of escape.

    Sorry if this sounds a little corny, but our wedding song just finished playing on the radio, so I thought I'd throw that out there. Anyhow, this discussion is getting way to rock-heavy:

    India Arie - Can I Walk With You

    Slosh
    Classic: Born on the Bayou - CCR
    Modern: Native Numb - Enon

    Yeah, that works. :)

    Hey FA, no likey the original version of Blinded? :confused:
