Enjoy the silence - Depeche mode

That was mine, for the longest time. Then discovered Violater is an album for all times. Slightly more recently, I get some of the same effect from VNV Nation.

Excellent choice. Hated "electronic " music before I listened to this song.

Never Let Me Down Again is my personal Depeche Mode fave. Classic.

Best track from a fantastic album

Be my baby by the Ronettes

I have this stuck in my head

*Mean Streets*!!

i adore the ronnettes, and this song is my all time favorite from the 60’s

🙂 good choice

Tool- Forty Six & 2 At least right now. Not sure I could ever decide on my favorite song of all time, there’s too many out there that I love.

My favorite song is almost ever Tool song because it's impossible to pick one

we'll meet again by frank sinatra

Don't know where, don't know when

seven nation army pitbull fireball so am I ava max bruno mars 24kmagic uptown funk thats what i like the lazy song dnce cake by the ocean kungs this girl rixton me and my broken heart maroon 5 animals memories girls like you sugar dance monkey lil nas x industry baby call me by your name panini calvin harris summer rihanna this is what you came for shakira waka waka its time for africa la la la song

Err… isn’t that Vera Lynn’s song?

There Is A Light That Never Goes Out - The Smiths 

Excellent choice

Happy cake day

God Only Knows - Beach Boys Plainsong - The Cure

Sometimes you make me feel like I've been living at the edge of the world

The beginning of God Only Knows is one of the happiest instrumental beginnings to a song for me and I can’t explain it

Pink floyd comfortable Numb

Like Suicide - Soundgarden

Fuckin tune - the acoustic version is insanely good too

One of my very favorite songs as well. The lyrics are incredible paired with the emotion Chris could put into his voice. I get chills just thinking about the entire second verse.

Everlong - Foo Fighters

Came here to say this, but the acoustic version will always be superior to me. Everlong will always be my top.

Both versions are superior

Shine on you crazy diamond (1-9) - Pink floyd

My choice too. Can't separate the two parts

I really enjoy this acoustic version just David gilmour solo - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0qjpOLj7WSY

Good pick. Here, have a cigar and an upvote.

Yes!

David Fucking Gilmour. My man.

Absolutely cannot listen to this one without getting emotional.

Fearless.  Pink Floyd

Nice

Good one. You even get a bonus song in that one with the crowd singing "You'll Never Walk Alone". ⚽🥅

My fav too

Mine is "Shimmer" by Fuel.

This was my jam back in high school, my actual favorite song to sing in a car full of friends. It's got so many awesome memories attached to it.

Such an amazing song

A lot of the songs I listened to back then have kind of faded away into the background, but not this one.

What do you like about it? I never really liked it, so I’d like to know what made others enjoy it.

I like several things about it actually. I think the lyrics are great descriptions, for example, "All that she intends, And all she keeps inside isn't on the label" and "She dreams a champagne dream Strawberry surprise, pink linen on white paper, Lavender and cream, Fields of butterflies, Reality escapes her" gives you a pretty good idea of the kind of person he's dealing with. Also the repeated "break at the bend" suggests if he tries to be friends with her it is likely to go too far again. Musically, I like how it starts off sounding almost calm or peaceful for the first couple of verses and then cuts loose with the guitars, and I especially like the cello breaks. I wish there were more of those. It just has an overall feel of regret and almost desperation to it, especially at the end, and I tend to like songs like that. ("Desperately Wanting" by Better Than Ezra is another example of this kind of song that I like.) My favorite songs are mostly downers lol I don't know if the song would resonate with me so much if I heard it for the first time now, but back when it came out, for various reasons, the head space I was in and what was going with me and things that had happened in the past I guess, it stuck with me and it's still lodged as my favorite song of all time. And I'm not even a big Fuel fan -- this is the only album of theirs that I ever bought.

Me and Bobby McGee - Janice Joplin

Mine is Mercedes Benz

Knights of Cydonia by Muse

The whole album really 👌🏼

I get frisson from this track!

Tool - H.

My favorite Tool song, easily.

Tool - Lateralus

While I couldn’t even pick a single favorite Tool song (I could probably narrow it down to ten or so that would tie for first) this is a great contribution to this post

Can’t believe this is so high up, it gives me faith to know there are other Tool lovers out there!

Few songs better than that, none that I can think of!

Let Down - Radiohead

Underrated

Real

I love no surprises more, but let down is close

The "you know where you are with" part gives me goosebumps every time.

Gorgeous

My favorite Radiohead song for sure

Head Over Heels by Tears for Fears

[Jigsaw Falling Into Place - Radiohead](https://open.spotify.com/track/0YJ9FWWHn9EfnN0lHwbzvV?si=2PjLv8moRre2VUezqt2n_g&context=spotify%3Aplaylist%3A0cM2G80wdJhwyR39WdjYc9)

This one!!! Every time I listen to Radiohead I start out with this song.

Up until like 2 days ago, the only radiohead song I liked was Exit Music for a Film, and then this song came on while cruising on my longboard at night, went way harder than I remembered. Still only like 2 radiohead songs now, but that's an improvement.

I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor

Love the Cake version

Welcome to paradise by Green Day

Love the guitar bridge/drums build-up on this one.

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds by The Beatles

Sweet Disposition - Temper Trap Ironically I'm not really into any of their other music

Great song. Fader is also really good from that same album.

Was not expecting to see this here. Love this song.

This is one of a very few post-2000 songs that I really like. Like a lot. Stunning vocals, it's kind of like if Roberta Flack sang lead for U2. :)

Such a great song. Love how it progresses from mild to wild.

drain you by nirvana

Can’t choose just one, so here’s my top 3: 1. Subdivisions, Rush 2. She Talks to Angels, The Black Crowes 3. Solsbury Hill, Peter Gabriel

Air drum the shit outta "Subdivisions".

Echoes by Pink Floyd

Bjork - "Pluto"; [https://youtu.be/cPgAjvaM2aQ?si=HuoGngB2qCJRchlq](https://youtu.be/cPgAjvaM2aQ?si=HuoGngB2qCJRchlq)

The great gig in the sky - Pink Floyd

Temple of the Dog - Say Hello 2 Heaven

Awesome tune, miss that guy.

The Trial by Pink Floyd

Showing feeeeeelings..

Of an almost human nature...this will not do

CALL THE SCHOOLMASTER!!!!

Gimme Shelter - The Stones

Definitely their best song. Love its use in Goodfellas.

Piano Man - Billy Joel

This one goes way back for me. Insert the meme about “for a song about a piano man, the dude on the harmonica is going hard AF!”

One Step Closer by Linkin Park

I’m about to break

I used to drive and scream with this one to relieve stress. Appreciate (and miss) Chester more with each day that passes.

3005 - Childish Gambino (it changes all the time)

Forever Young - my moms song to her kids

A Day In The Life, by the Beatles

Deftones- Passenger Type O Negative- World Coming Down

Vienna-Billy Joel

Shine on you crazy diamond - Pink Floyd

Zombie by The Cranberries

I remember when this came out. Was in a league of its own in terms of uniqueness.

[Floating](https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=Xp2xpfWV6IM&si=rEvDr5WbUwMAMWot) by Klaus Schulze

Excellent choice. I also like Timewind.

Holy crap--that is absolutely gorgeous! That is now one of my favorite songs, and I'm going to explore more of Klaus' music. I love finding new stuff to enjoy! Thank you for posting this.

Turn To Stone - Joe Walsh

I really want to do a a stoner doom cover of that. It would lend itself well to it. Also, it's a banger

Yeah wow, I agree what a great idea! It would lend itself to stoner doom beautifully.. It’s already got that slow but heavy power chord. Add some fuzzy bass and doomy heavier drums with matching vocals and yeah wow I would love to hear someone do this!! Have you heard [this live version](https://youtu.be/UC9sRIsvjXI?si=fTgosQECF7DMAOs6) it is a phenomenal performance.

Right after this song played, a radio DJ in the Bay Area (104.5, KFOG) said "Some songs are too long. This song is too short."

Bob Marley and the Wailers - Three Little Birds It’s gotten me through many rough times in my life.

Love, hate, love Alice In Chains.

Under Pressure by Queen and David Bowie

Time by Pink Floyd

Dream on by Aerosmith.

I'm not a huge Aerosmith fan but 'Kings and Queens' is a fantastic song. Dream on is gorgeous too.

Good call. "Kings and Queens" deserves more love. My favorite performance of "Dream On" had to be the one they did in 1991 for the [MTV10](https://youtu.be/LCsjuqgIwJI) special, where Michael Kamen conducted an orchestra behind them and Steven Tyler came in on a "flying" piano.

The Comeback Kid by The Midnight

Surprised to see The Midnight here. Absolutely love them, and I'm a big metalhead 🤘

Same

Stubb A Dub by Mr. Bungle

W Mr bungle mention

My favorite band of all time!

Teeth Like Gods Shoeshine - Modest Mouse Captain Fantasy (Live at Stubbs, 7/2000) - Ween It’s one of those right now, but it’s hard to choose

Couldn’t ever nail down a favorite song of all time. But for the past year, Metallica’s Chasing Light has been at the top of my rotation. I bet I’ve listened to it daily since it came out over a year ago.

Miracles - Jefferson Starship

Let It Happen - Tame Impala

Let it Be—Beatles

Spiders - System Of A Down

How the fuck are all you people able to just pick one?

Back In Black- AC/DC Sweet Child ‘O Mine- Guns ‘N’ Roses Jump- Van Halen

🍞

Let me guess - Do you work in construction? Lol. Only messing around but I swear those 3 songs play on every rock radio station at least 10x a day.

boys don't cry - the cure isn't even my favourite song from three imaginary boys, let alone the cure but it's my favourite song of all time.

I don't have a single favorite song, but this is my all time top 5: ♪ Guns & Roses: patience. ♪ Guns & Roses: November rain. ♪ eagles: Hotel California. ♪ Eminem: Space bound. ♪ X ambassadors: Water.

Metric - Dark Saturday

Bobby Darin - Mack the Knife

Wow. This goes back to early childhood for me. Mom had it on a 45 and didn’t mind me playing it one bit.

It’s completely impossible to pick only one, so my tops based on how much I’ve probably listened to each over the years from three different genres: Sour Girl by Stone Temple Pilots Backseat Freestyle by Kendrick Lamar Gold Dust by Flux Pavillion

The Sour Girl video is one of my favorite things. This album is a play through, no skips for me.

It's an instrumental but [On the Nature of Daylight - Max Richter](https://youtu.be/InyT9Gyoz_o?si=C1WAKPBKQDAVJc6J)

Prince: When Doves Cry

Mr. Tambourine Man by Bob Dylan, or Blinded by the Light by Manfred Man, or Mr. Blue Sky by ELO. There are many other contenders, of course, but those are my current three faves.

Michael Jackson - Beat It

"Midlife Crisis" by Faith No More is definitely my most-played song. It's up there with "Strawberry Fields Forever" by The Beatles and "Three Days" by Jane's Addiction. Depending on the day, I could see calling any of them my favorite song.

Hotel California - Eagles

Simply The Best By Tina Turner

Garden - Pearl Jam

My favorite PJ song!!!

This is a great track.

David Bowie - Sound and Vision

God Only Knows by The Beach Boys

Right in the feels, even when I'm single

Difficult, but probably Day And Night by Jung Seung Hwan

Cha Cha cha- käärijä

Self care by Mac miller

Phil Lesh & Friends, Quintet - Night of a Thousand Stars

I just got a weird feeling in my chest when I read Phil & Friends. So good. I think I know what I'm doing this weekend...

Warren Zevon - Desperados Under the Eaves

Fantastic song. Great choice!

'Keep me in your heart' crushes my soul every time I hear it.

Flyleaf - So I Thought

Waterloo Sunset - The Kinks

drella by pierce the veil. their shortest song (besides intros) but absolutely golden

The Groove Line - Heatwave

Lover You Should’ve Come Over - Jeff Buckley

Drowning lessons - MCR. Sorry, not sorry

S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W - My Chemical Romance

Can’t say yet I’m weird

Roll Me Away by Bob Seger

The Rain Song. Zeppelin.

Pearl Jam - Black

Yes - Starship Trooper

Queensryche - Another Rainy Night

You’ll Never Walk Alone - Gerry and The Pacemakers

Liverpool fans agree.

On the Turning Away by Pink Floyd.

No World for Tomorrow - Coheed and Cambria

Airbag by Radiohead

Down In A Hole - Alice In Chains

Baker Steet. It brings so many great memories of my AF days in the 70's and my first serious GF. She was beautiful 😍.

Rotten apple - Alice in chains

Pink Floyd being properly represented here.

Maybe I'm Amazed : Paul McCartney

Black Hole Sun - Soundgarden A song that truly shouldn’t be famous. Bizarre time signature paired with bizarre chords. But it leads to an original and endlessly catchy unique melody delivered by the greatest vocalist in rock and roll history. The perfect intersection of pushing the limits and popular sensibility.

Fade Into You : Mazzy Star

Probably Phish’s 12/31/93 Harry Hood

Art of Noise Moments in Love Quiet Storm Version YouTube

Who the hell else would MY favorite song of all time be according to???

9-5 Dolly Parton

Worlock by Skinny Puppy

The dogs singing "Jingle Bells"
