I couldn't possibly pick one! Depends on my mood, on who I am that day 😁

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Same. I can't pick a genre or artist, much one one particular song. I have songs that are meaningful to me, songs I rock out to, songs I relax to, songs I drive to... I could never pick just one, or even just 20. Lol.

Mirror Mirror- Blind Guardian

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

One - Metallica

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I can't have one: there are many, across eras and genres. The first ones coming to mind are Back In The USSR (Beatles), , Kelly watch the stars (Air), The sound of violence (SebastiAn)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Air is seriously underrated, I've always loved "Universal Traveler".

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Probably β€˜Surrender’ by Billy Talent.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Billy Talent is massively underrated.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

For me this isn't a static thing and changes over time. Right now I'd say it's probably Great Pumpkin Waltz by Vince Guaraldi Trio. Vince is definitely my favorite musician. I listen to his stuff so much.

It kinda depends on my mood and what I've been listening to most at a given time, but I'd say the most enduring song would be:

"100,000 Fireflies" by The Magnetic Fields

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Just... Just one?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Gotta be Moonlight Sonata...

Maybe the Live 101 Proof version of Panera's "War Nerve"

Or Freebird, maybe?

Stubborn Love or Angela, by the Lumineers?

Fuck.. Depends on the day, but I'll always go back to Moonlight..

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'm very similar! Mine is Bach's Badinerie.

Maybe South of Heaven by Slayer.

Other days Self Aware by Qveen Herby.

But I'll always go back to Badinerie..

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Wide range, there. I love it!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Maybe the Live 101 Proof version of Panera’s β€œWar Nerve”

Is that off their album Vulgar Display of Panini?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Hahaaaa!! Fuck, I didn't catch that shit!! Too fuckin funny to edit.. Touche, s0x..

I've never typed Panera... Yet my dictionary has that shit over Pantera... This world has gone to shit... Fuck em all.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Lol cheers. Funny enough another person in the thread spelled it "Pantara." Not as funny though.

I don't have one. There's like a thousand songs that I consider to be my favorite, and I absolutely cannot name them all off the top of my head.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

currently, either 'Cut-Throat (instrumental)', or 'Spread Eagle Cross The Block' both by Death Grips

actually its 'Cant Take My Eyes Off Of You' by the The Five Satins, ive been going through a doo wop phase :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

I'm unsure between peeping tom by jame berry and genesis by justice. They are polar opposites in terms of genre; which one i prefer really depends on my mood

This week it’s Appetite by Prefab Sprout

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Love that track, back in the 80s I played the Steve McQueen album daily.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Steve McQueen was the only album of theirs that I owned until a few months ago. Bought Swoon, Jordan: The Comeback, and Protest Songs. They’re ok as bland 1980s pop, but Steve McQueen is still their best album and the only one that stands out to me.

Another You (Another Way) by Against the Current

Depending on how you feel about foreign music, Til the End by ReoNa is another top song

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Hey I know them, they're both great!

For a long time it's been Kiseki no Umi. Composed by Yoko Kanno, Maaya Sakamoto on vocals.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

That's easy! Mr Kitty - After Dark

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

An impossible question for me but a few are "With Cat-Like Tread, Upon Our Prey We Steal", "Off Wiv Ya Heads", and "Around the World".

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It changes a lot, but right now it's The Stormchaser by Caligula's Horse

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Your comment reminds me of https://youtu.be/_UBqWuBn6_Y&t=0 by the Band HΓ€stpojken which translates to horse boy
