Listening to music before and just wondered what everyones very favourite song was -I have lots when i think about it depending on the occasion-

Lesley

Tough choice Lel..

Current song of the moment is
Become You ... Indigo Girls, have been a fan of theirs for a few years now, and finally got to see them live last year.

Other than that, errr the ones that have stood the test of time are

Deeper...Ezio (in fact, pretty much any of his songs)
Riot on Broad St..... Mighty Mighty Bosstones
100 Years of Solitude.. Levellers
The Boxer....Simon and Garfunkel
Call Me Al.. Paul Simon
Girls Not Grey....AFI
Jamestown...The Movielife
Adrienne...The Calling

ask me tomorrow, it will probably be different!
I have to say, i reckon i have a pretty varied taste in music, today, whilst on the PC, i have listened to Jake Thackray (folk singer, prize for anyone who have heard of him) Fred Wedlock (folk, again, a prize) Ezio (prize), Greenday, Cypress Hill, Sultans of Ping (punk, a prize if u know them an all) Levellers, System of a Down, Killswitch Engage, Indigo Girls, Tracy Chapman, Metallica, Cruiskeen, .....and probably more who knows.

Layla - Eric Clapton, don't know why, just sends shivers down me when I hear it.

Sweep

The "unplugged" version of Layla is even better!

Many years ago Jake Thackray was the 'resident singer' for one series of "That's Life" (Richard Stilgoe and Victoria Wood also did stints) - I remember one song about a bantam cock, and of course, the immortal "Sister Josephine" ;) !

"Feeling Good" - sung by Nina Simone, Muse, Ella Fitzgerald etc...

and

"I'm A Spy" - by the Doors :D :D

Unfinshed Sympathy - Massive Attack

Longview- Greenday
Money- Pinkfloyd
All songs by the Stone Roses, Eric Clapton and Dire Straits.

I can't fit all of them in :D But my all time fave is A little time by beautiful south:)

I've always thought that I should do a compilation of my favourite songs, but then it wouldn't be so great when you hear one of them played on the radio!
I've got loads of widely differing faves, including:
What a fool believes- Doobie Brothers (think that's my all time fav)
More than words- Extreme
