What's your favorite song?

Asked by Nomore_lockout (7612points) November 14th, 2020

Thought we could all use a break from Covid 19 and politics. Have at it..Country, rock, easy listening, crooners like Dino,
show tunes, just whatever. Even classical or waltzes like Blue Danube..whatever floats your stick.

Favourite songs change all the time as new music comes out ,and discovering music you haven’t heard before.
How about classic songs, like Hotel California .(The Eagles)
or Money for nothing.(Dire Straits)
Stairway to heaven.(Led Zeplin)
Tell me lies.(Fleetwood mac)
My Three Classic songs that will live forever.

Good choices all. You are man of taste Mr. SQUEEKY. And no need to limit ourselves to one tune or one genre. As I said, let’s have fun and have at it. I’m just tired of Trump/Biden Covid 19/ Black Death gloom and doom. Time to lighten this joint up for a while.

SQUEEKY2's avatar

Well then lets hear yours?^^^^^^

Nomore_lockout's avatar

Hell my taste in music runs the qammet. Country, Willie Nelson always comes to mind. I Gotta Get Drunk, If you got the Money I Got the Time, Pauncho and Lefty, Seven Spanish Angels. Rock,
or light rock, my tastes run to the Beatles. Just about anything they did. I even like some Dean Martin now and then. Everybody Loves Somebody, That’s Amore, a few others. I can handle about anything but rap.

I know what you mean when it comes to music I like a little of everything and a lot of nothing.

I almost forgot Jimmy Buffet. I’m a bit of a parrot head myself.

SQUEEKY2's avatar

HEY! If you are going to bring up Jimmy you have to include this one.. https://youtu.be/CICf8xoLyG8

Absolutely positively greatest song ever!!! How could I have forgotten that one? Had a few of those Margaritaville days myself back in the day : )

Nomore_lockout's avatar

And the inappropriate (for mixed company) song of his about “Well I surely do appreciate, that you’re sittin’ here. Your voice sounds so wonderful, but you face don’t look to clear”. LOL Had a few nights like that too. Life imitating art, or the other way around?

Ask me in an hour and I will have a different answer. But at the moment
it’s Modern English – I Melt With You

Nomore_lockout's avatar

Hell @Call_Me_Jay we’re all that way. With me depends what kind of mood I’m in. All good pal.

Nomore_lockout's avatar

Great music getting posted here. Admit it now, isn’t this better than Covid and freaking politics?

Nomore_lockout's avatar

“Grapefruit – Juicy Fruit” another forgotten Jimmy Buffet jewel.

Nomore_lockout's avatar

Bohemian Rhapsody – Queen @chyna Yeah I forgot that one, one of my favs. Hard to beat.

Nomore_lockout's avatar

My Mom’s favorite Time In A Bottle by Jim Croce
My Dad’s favorite Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground by Willie Nelson
My personal fave I Cross My Heart by George Strait
Yes, I come from a family of romantics

I listen to a lot of Blues, so anything performed by Stevie Ray Vaughan or any of the blues by Gary Moore. Some of Gary’s other stuff is really good but not on my all-time favorite list.

BB King& Eric Clapton are others that I cannot Deny!!!

In my younger days, Maggie May by Rod Stewart was high on my list. Phil Collins In The Air Tonight is another. Do You Feel Like I Do by Peter Frampton. Sound of Silence & Bridge Over Troubled Waters by Simon & Garfunkle still ring true. I also cannot deny anything by The Eagles, Credence Clearwater Revival, Lynard Skynard, The Beatles & I know there are more!!!

DooWop is another phase that I can’t pick just one.

During my Country phase, pretty much anything by Alabama, George Strait, or Willie Nelson made me smile. Oops, I almost forgot Garth!!!

I love music in general so narrowing it down to a few is impossible!!!

Nomore_lockout's avatar

@LadyMarissa Agreed, I’m the same way. I even enjoy some of that Classical stuff.

LadyMarissa's avatar

I enjoy some classical. Rap & Opera are 2 that I don’t always appreciate & I still find some in those 2 genres that I admire!!!

Nomore_lockout's avatar

https://youtu.be/I6tF6AT5ZSA A fun oldie by the Statler Brothers, I used to see these cowboy guys on TV with my grand pa.

SQUEEKY2's avatar

@Nomore_lockout That was a great song^ Thanks.

Nomore_lockout's avatar

Yeah, we needed that bud. I think? : )

Nomore_lockout's avatar

https://youtu.be/hdC-kR9MJxU This one made me laugh so hard I literally almost fell off my chair, my wife thought I’d lost my mind. So very true though. And I AM a Texan, lol.

SEKA's avatar

This was my grand dad’s favorite Ray Stevens song. He was young back then

Not as funny as Ray’s song but Home Free does a pretty version

Nomore_lockout's avatar

https://youtu.be/475349uum0w Can’t get enough of the Statler Bros.

LadyMarissa's avatar

My husband used to sing Chris Isaak to me not long after we first met!!!

Nomore_lockout's avatar

Nomore_lockout's avatar

https://youtu.be/hVwrVx4lPOY Tease my wife with this one sometimes, lol. She actually said I can belt it out pretty good. Flattering.

Nomore_lockout's avatar

Ooops that first asleep at the wheel should have been Route 66 sorry for the double post https://youtu.be/vifUaZQL8pc
