Favourite Songs

Justin Credible
edited August 2009 in General
Hey i tried searching for this thread but i couldn't find it so i thought i'll start one. What are some of your favourite songs of all time? It could be any genre.
Favourite as in songs you can't live without, songs you sing everyday, songs that describe your life or just songs you have on your mp3 player that you listen to nonstop.

I thought it'll be nice to share your songs with everyone and who knows maybe you'll find someone with similar tastes in music. You can list them below. I'll think of my list later on today.

List the song title and the artist if possible so that if we want to check it out we can and if we like it we can download it as well.

    I'll update this when I think of some better candidates, but this is what comes to mind right now:

    Third Eye Blind - Narcolepsy ) The best song off the first CD I ever owned.

    Hey Rosetta - Red Heart ) Last.fm says this is my most-listened-to song.

    My top 25 most played songs on iTunes. This made me realize that I'm mostly attracted to acoustic songs. It's not "all time" most played because I reformatted my hard drive. If it were all time tho, the overall genre would still be somewhat similar.

    Which songs never grow old on me tho, no matter how many times I play them are:

    Sunday Morning - Maroon 5
    Live High - Jason Mraz
    I'm Yours - Jason Mraz
    So You Can Cry - Neyo

    Yep, also great songs. I only wish they hadn't written them in weird tunings. It's nice to just pick up a guitar and play instead of having to tune to D-add9 or something like that.

    Yeah, I think Motorcycle Drive By is in standard tuning, but God of Wine is in DADEAD, and I know what you mean. I used to know the song, but I'd have to tune it all weird just to play the one song, so I didn't even bother anymore.

    Did you like anything from their albums after that?
