The 101 greatest hits of all time

[dune]

Fed up with all these boring threads about politics, but not that sad enough to join the word association thread (but now that ideas in my head it may happen in the next few minutes). You're only allowed o nominate 1 song unless you choose to nominate some more - actually **** it nominate to your hearts content. Please provide a video link though cos we need to make this thread good innit.

[St Landrew]

So, you're saying one song above all. In other words, if you could have only one song, ever. OK, this song is the one which I can listen to at any time and appreciate it. Other songs may hit the heights, but this one is my nomination.

 

The Beach Boys - God Only Knows

[Whitey Grandad]

There are certain songs that I associate with events in my life. This was my first year at university: October days, dark and rainy.

[buctootim]

Nina 99 Red Balloons. Still prefer the German version for some reason. Watched her with three mates play on Top of the Pops. We were all lusting after her until she went hey!! and thrust her arm up to reveal the hairiest pits we'd ever seen. True what they said about those foreign birds :0

[Whitey Grandad]

This one is from when I was working in Toronto. I used to visit ny friends 20 miles upstate and then drive back to the city late at night in winter. Gradually the lights of the city would come into view, twinkling fabulously in the sub-zero air. I would have the car radio on and this was all you ever heard.

The Man in Black, not long before he died - and a video which always brings tears to my eyes...

 

[Hamilton Saint]

Here you go - both sides of possibly the best pop single (45 rpm) ever released:

[ericofarabia]

One for all you Metal Heads from the early 70's .....

 

[Dog]

Without a shadow of doubt, this has to be the best ever song ever made.

Love it!

[Dog]

2 great songs.

[Saint_John]

My favourite song of all time is Dave Cousin's Blue Angel (original from 1976 - Two Weeks Last Summer).

 

As the song is approx 10mins long there is only a 3 min on YouTube of the 1st part ("Divided") and not (ii) Half Worlds Apart or (iii) At Rest.

 

Although the 76 version with Rick playing keyboards on (ii) is the famous version I currently like the 2003-4 version with Brian Willoughby playing guitar on (iii).
