Top Three Songs of all time

Great thread....it's really difficult to limit to three and I expect that I would add three different songs this time tomorrow. So I'll just go with the first three that pop into my head that could justify the tag:

Japan - I Second That Emotion
AC/DC - Back in Black
Muse - Starlight or Time is Running Out or Invincible

I won't be online tomorrow so here are my three for Saturday ;)

Duran Duran - Ordinary World (average band, great song)
Ray Charles - A Song For You
Dandy Warhols - Godless (great brass)

And Sunday :D

Prince - Purple Rain
Clannad/Bono - In a Lifetime
Led Zeppelin - Black Dog
 
My favourite songs of the moment (but maybe not of next week or of all time):

Racchrochez C’est Une Horreur, Jane Birkin

Rockollection, Laurent Voulzy

Nicolas and Bart, Joan Baez

You mean 'The Foundations', don't you?

And you've only been humming it since you saw 'There's Something About Mary', haven't you?

I probably do mean "The Foundations", been listening to "The Temptations" singing "You win again" quite a lot which might explain the confusion.

And yes, loved it since "There's something about Mary" You know me too well. :D

I'll probably get slapped for the double post but I have to respond to this. My daughter plays the guitar and her version of "Invinsible" is probably my absolute favourite song ever. She was playing it for months and knew it was my favourite so she played it as a surprise at a christmas concert. Unfortunatly I had to miss it and stay home with her sick sister.....but the other half video-ed it.

Only after that did I listen to the original for the first time...and Muse do a much slower version.....and they just don't do it as well as her :D

Is anyone else just slightly concerned about this?

Hey Macarena
Mmm Bop
Crazy Frog.

Thanks for reminding me - Godless should be on my list too. Saw the Dandy Warhols open a live show with Godless (brass preceded by ear-bleed guitar feedback as they ambled on stage through the clouds of dry ice) and it was truly wonderful.

I'd put Quiet Life by Japan ahead of Emotion, though.
 
Old love - Eric clapton (from teh unplugged album)
One - U2
Like a rolling stone - Bob dylan
 
Very tough. Like asking what your three favourite foods are.
Anyway.

Tomorrow these may change.
