Mine is 'The whole of the moon' by The Waterboys. Every time I hear it is like the first. Never tire of it, never will:)

Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd!

...stops me in my tracks every time (so it's probably a good job it's not played too often!)

...however...there are SOOO many more for different moods - how can you limit it to just one!

:wave:

nelly/n'sync - Girlfriend
eminem - say good bye to hollywood
beatles - hey jude

all great songs

LAST KISS BY PEARL JAM
a depressing song but cheers me up for some reason but the ultimate song for sending a shiver down my spine is CROWN OF THORNS BY MOTHER LOVE BONE

I'll have to be greedy here and pick two, as I can't choose between the Only Ones "Another Girl Another Planet" and the Undertones "Teenage Kicks".

The first is pure joy - it just soars, and makes me feel euphorically happy every time I hear it.

The second made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up on first hearing, and does so again every time I hear the opening chords. There are no words suitable for a family forum to describe what I thought about Busted's recent remake .... ;)

didnt john peel once say that when hearing teenage kicks for the first time it moved him to tears anyway the drum roll at the start of tk is the same as a track by kiss called strutter

The classic "Stairway" and Blue Oyster Cult's "Don't fear the reaper".

Eric Clapton - Bell Bottom Blues

Starts off gentle and builds up to a cracking song.

Thats a good point, Freddy. Feel free to make it more than one choice. While we are at it, I would like to add 'The Strokes' 'last nite' and 'hard to explain':thumbsup:

"Wish you were here" is excellent!

Like you say, though, so many moods and so many tunes!

I'd go with The Waterboys as well. I'd have to throw in 'Like a Hurricane' by Neil Young.

Joe

Ooooh......

And 'Year of the cat' by Al Stewart.

Gotta give a mention for these:-

Ruby Soho by Rancid
Hunger Strike by Temple of the Dog

and an ABSOLUTE classic

Sweet Child o' Mine by Guns N' Roses

All three between nine and seventeen years old, listened to numerous times a week(at least) and still not tired of 'em!!

How soon is now by The smiths
Born Slippy by Underworld

Both anthems for a generation


The first is my entire teenagenous - the second you could have lead in your shoes and your up dancing!!!!


Lager lager lager lager lager

my timeless classic is Hey Jude by the Beatles, it was the number 1 on the day i was born, although i didnt know that until a few years ago, there was just something about it...

hmmmm..Englebert Humperdink (spelling?) was number one when I was born...enough said!

....I'm going to go for it with -
Kaya - Bob Marley
Golden Brown - the Stranglers
Ray of Light - Madonna
Don't Stop - RHCP

...and Breakfast in Bed UB40 + Chrissy Hynde...because :blush:...

Also ........

LoveCats ........ The Cure
