Ok peeps, we ain't had a top 10 debate for at least oooh a day! ;-) I was just wondering what everyones favorite songs of ALL-TIME are!
Please, people, we are talking of ALL-TIME, not just the last year! I spent a a little while constucting this list. I'm sure i have others that could replace some of these, but this will do for now:
1) When the Levee Breaks (Led Zep)
2) Baba O' Riley (The Who)
3) Bone Machine (Pixies)
4) I am the resurrection (Stone Roses)
5) This is the Day (The The)
6) Your Cheating Heart (Hank Williams Snr)
7) Gimme Shelter (Rolling Stones)
8) I am the Walrus (Beatles)
9) Bomb Track (Rage Against the Machine)
10) Alice (Sisters of Mercy)
I've shown you mine, now lets see yours. But remember... mines the best! ;-P

Trigger Cut - Pavement
I had to check my own profile to see who I like. Oy vey!
* not really a top 10 song, but I thought it good enough to raise an eyebrow or two. I mean, really I can think of 45 Bowie songs that are better, but any list like this deserves a little estrogen, eh? ;-)
Re: Top 10 Songs of ALL time!
Re: Top 10 Songs of ALL time!
When I read everyone elses list,
I'm going..."yes I thought of that but I had to pick such and such"
many of you guy's picks would definately be in my top 100
and Love will tear us apart.....well just didn't want to be too obvious + I hear it many many times.
The buzzcocks had too many good songs to pick one etc etc
Doesn't everyone else get frustrated by limiting your lists to a particular number, then you see someone elses list and think "Damn why did I miss that off" ?
But I wouldn't have a stone roses track.
Re: Top 10 Songs of ALL time!

Sonic Youth - Trilogy (The Wonder)
Brian Wilson - Surf's Up
My Bloody Valentine - When You Sleep
Pixies - Gouge Away
Pink Floyd - Echoes
Smashing Pumpkins - Today
The Smiths - There Is A Light That Never Goes Out
Television - Marquee Moon
Radiohead - Lucky
That was ridiculously hard, although very obvious choices I made looking back now. There would have been several more Radiohead songs in there if it didn't look very blinkered with 10 songs by the same band.

Re: Top 10 Songs of ALL time!
Mogwai - New Paths To Helicon part II
...Trail Of Dead - A Perfect Teenhood
Move me in equally dramatic but totally different ways. One makes me cry, like a child; the other lose myself totally in the moment. A Perfect Teenhood still makes me want to fuck shit up.
Mono - Halcyon (Beautiful Days)
Is perhaps the saddest song ever. It doesn't effect me in the way Helicon does, but I swear that when I last played it, on a bus in the middle of Islington, I nearly cried.
Radiohead - Motion Picture Soundtrack / Wolf At The Door
There's something about these closing tracks... I can't really describe how, but they make me feel happy even when they're so utterly bleak.
The Icarus Line - Feed A Cat To Your Cobra
Every time I hear this I want to dance. Hard.
Bah... there are loads more. I find it hard to relate to some 'favourites' simply because they never soundtracked any special part of my life.
Re: Top 10 Songs of ALL time!
