bigbird Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 (edited) Just sat chilling outside and Alexa’s playing my favourite song in the world. What is your favourite song or piece of music ever and why? Mine’s U2 ‘With or Without You’ Weirdly my eldest daughter’s (17) is Schubert’s ‘Unfinished Symphony’, she says it makes her emotional (even though as I pointed out it was probably because he was hopelessly disorganised 😂) Edited April 23, 2021 by bigbird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twenty Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 I have been a Northern Soul fan since my youth, and two favourites that guaranteed a full dance floor were, Just a little misunderstanding by The Contours, and One wonderful moment by The Shakers.........happy days.

Farmboy91 Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 (edited) Johnny Cash - When the man comes around. Despite being one of he's last songs it's still got that rhythm that stood out right from he's early stuff and the voice, even though he's aged and you can hear it, it's still Johnny Cash if you know what I mean. I got a notification last year to say I was in the top 1% of Cash listeners 😂 of my top 5 played songs 4 were by him. The other being Needles and Pins by The Searchers.

Did you ever see Johnny Cash playing live ? I haven't been to that many live shows but I did see Johnny Cash live at a show in London with the Carter family , brilliant show and was well worth seeing . As for one of my favourites song(s) I would say the BeeGees , Don't Forget To Remember Me one day and the next day it could be Roy Orbinson , In Dreams .

Grandalf Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 When I am in a bad mood I always play his Orange Blossom Special. Difficult to be in a bad mood when you are singing your head off and stomping around the kitchen . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I must confess it's only been the last couple years I've found a love for he's music. We watched Walk the Line one night and that's where it started for me. I can only imagine how good that show must have been 👍. I always say to the missus if I could go back in time and see any show live it would have been him at Folsom prison while they were recording. The atmosphere captured in those songs is something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.C Posted April 24, 2021 Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 This is one of those topics where you later you think "oh what about??? and I how could I have forgotten X" A few in no order Heroes, David Bowie also Young Americans (sing along factor for both) Nothing Else Matters, Metallica Teenage Kicks, The Undertones (have to agree with John Peel on that one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted April 24, 2021 Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 Hmmmmmm, so many really. I'm a sad Hi-Fi owner still stuck in the 70's ! Fleetwood Mac, Eagles, Wings, Joan Armour plating, Mike and Mechanics, listen to them a lot and like them all equally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
