Your favourite songs and why they are so great.

My list in no particular order, with a very vague explanation.

Radiohead - Let Down
My favourite song of all time. Cryptic lyrics in which I am yet to understand, but Yorke says it's more of a personal thing. The overlapping at the end is just absolutely gorgeous and gets me every time.
The Beatles - A Day In The Life
Pinnacle of what McCartney and Lennon could achieve. Lennon's dreary verses, coupled with McCartney's rather comical take on everyday life strike an unparalleled unison.
Radiohead - The National Anthem
This song is just perfect in my eyes. The brilliant yet simple bass line and the smutty, unpolished feel of it. Then the brass comes in and cuts through it cleanly. Amazing.
Jeff Buckley - Mojo Pin
Such a suffocating song, yet so delicate and sly. The speed-up and slowdown of the drums with Buckley's voice makes me choke.
Elliott Smith - Between The Bars
All the emo bands of today could never be as honest as Smith was. Between the Bars is something that would make a drunk English brute break down and cry in the middle of the night.
Pink Floyd - The Great Gig in the Sky
Raw power. Nuff said.
Miles Davis - So What
Bass line is awesome, and the piano is charming.
The Velvet Underground w/ Nico - Femme Fatale
The unrefined Velvet Underground melody with Nico's exasperating, dry as a desert voice work well. This is my favourite example of that.

Well, I like "Thank You For the Venom," "I'm Not O.K. (I Promise)," and "Fade To Black" a lot. :think:

I really wonder why this thread has gotten almost no replies. Maybe no one can decide what's their favorite? :huh:

right now it is
skillet - open wounds

"Music of the Night" - Phantom of the Opera - Webber for one.. it's WEBBER. Plus the lyrics... if you truly understand the workings of Erik (the phantom) the lyrics are so... just richly stunning and honest. Lyrics can rarely move me like this song.

Pink Floyd - "Comfortably Numb" - This song is so unique just like Floyd... my fave of theirs.

Radiohead - "Creep" - I like the lyrics and I love how the music plays.

Malice Mizer - "Au Revoir" (at the moment) - Mizer is great and there's a great feeling this song leaves you with.

"We Were Lovers" - Gankutsuou soundtrack - if you've seen the series and love it, the theme song will stick with you. Funny thing is most people despise it the first time they hear it. :P

"Shadow of Doubt" - Escaflowne - Yoko Kanno... brilliant... and it's Folken's music.

Everything from Advent Children. - FF7 music in a new style. nuff said.

eh those are the ones at this moment I guess.

Could I get an explanation as to why you like these songs so much?

I can't decide!!

If it were a song with lyrics, it would be "To where you are" by Josh Groban or "Simple and Clean"

As for any other piece...ah! So many to choose from.

Feel Good inc., DARE, -Gorillaz

i know i have more by a differant artist, but i can't think of them right now.

"Music of the Night" - Phantom of the Opera
