I looked back 15 pages for the favorite song thread, but could not find it.

I forgot to mention "Goodnight Siagon" by Billy Joel!!

YouTube - Goodnight Siagon

Billy Joel sucks. He looks like my drunk Uncle Chuck who also sucks at singing.

He may suck, but that song is KILLER!!! (no pun intended)

[toys2cool]

[txteach]

See, Damian likes him so he must really suck.

[apes3978]

Billy Joel sucks.

Amen to that...

[Mego-Kid]

Hi, for me most Billy Joel songs are virtually unlistenable. "Piano Man" is most painful!

You're gonna do well in this Mego Museum...

[Surfsup]

I like his music personally, I think he's one of the best songwriters the US has produced.

[Mikey]

I don't mind Billy Joel

The only problem with Joel, on a lot of his popular songs, he comes off as a bit of a whiner.
You just want to say, SHUT UP !!!

A few examples

My Life
Big Shot
You May Be Right
Moving Out

I think the only Joel song I truly hate is The Longest Time

Everything else, I can tolerate

Now...back to greatest Songes:

Elvis-"Trying to get to You", "That's Alright Now Momma".
The Beatles-"In MY Life"
John Lennon-"Imagine"
Social Distortion-"Telling Them", "Ball & Chain", "Highway 101".
Sex Pistols-"No Feelings", Anarchy in the UK", "Bodies".
The Clash-"Police & Thieves"
The Ramones-"Thier entire Catalog"
Flogging Molly-"If I Ever Leave this World Alive", "The Worst Day since Yesterday".
The Pogues-"Haunted", "waltzing Matilda", "Loreli".


Ah...there's just too many to go on....

[Adam West]

I know John Lennon's song "Imagine" gets a lot of attention. It's a beautiful written song but not my favorite.

Personally, my favorite song of his is "Beautiful Boy". I guess being the father of the three most wonderful children (two boys), the song just hits me in a spot I can't describe.

Although, I never really agreed with Lennon on many of his political and religious views the one thing that always stood out in my mind is how he was able to take the indescribable unconditional love that a father feels for their children and put it into song like "Beautiful Boy" and "Hey Jude" (even though it was with the Beatles.

[Sowth]

Didn't Paul write Hey Jude for Julian Lennon? Might be an urban myth actually.

There haven't been many 90's songs mentioned yet, so I'll nominate Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana, Lose Yourself by Eminem and What The Day Brings by BRAD. Some of the British stuff ws superb too, Oasis' Wonder Wall, Blur Song Two among others.

In recent times I'd have to go with Feel Good Inc. by Gorillaz/De La Soul or maybe Daft Punk - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger. Maybe Top Ten songs since 1990 should be another thread...

Cheers,
Will

>There haven't been many 90's songs mentioned yet,

That's 'cos most 90's stuff was really bad. Musicly simplistic and lyricly whiney!

"Yeah, THIS is a good band."
"Are you being sarcastic?"
"I don't even KNOW any more..."

Although Big Rude Jake got their start in the 90's....
