Top Five Favorite Songs

[Ancient Goddess]

Alright, list your top ten all-time favorite songs and a description of why you like them.

Here are mine:


1.) Like A Stone by Audioslave-- When I first heard this song, it struck a cord within me. The lyrics, mostly...but also the overall sound to it. I can't really say I like anything else by them, but that song...man, I love it.

2.) Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve-- The beginning of the song is what grabbed me, and the words to it made me love it. I love songs that have deep meanings and songs that have lyrics different than what you're generally used to. I think I must have played it at least 3 times in a row when I first bought it.

3.) Mad World by Gary Jules-- I love the slow, lilting tune of this, and the mood that it puts you in when you're listening to it. It's a sad song, but it's also very beautiful. There's no instruments other than a piano. Awesome song.

4.) Fragile by Sting-- Again, another beautiful song. It's one that you could just sit back and relax to. Very nice.

5.) This Love by Maroon 5-- It stuck in my head the first time I heard it, and over time, I loved it. Kind of sad lyrics with an ubeat rhythm, but it was really the lyrics that attracted me.


As you can tell from this list, I'm a sucker for the slow songs or songs with sad lyrics...Ah well. There's my list.

What's yours?

Geez...

1.) With You by Linkin Park - just a great song, I'm a huge fan of LP and... it's just hard to pick only one song of theirs to love.

2.) Secret by Maroon 5 - a sultry song with a hidden story behind it ;D

3.) Make Yourself by Incubus - Just listen to the lyrics, another great message behind it

4.) Heart-Shaped Box by Nirvana - What can I say? I love Kurt Cobain

5.) Jacob's Ladder by Incognito - Great instrumental, so relaxing and energizing at the same time!

Such a question to me is the equivalent as "what's the meaning of life" Since I listen to so many kinds of music it'd take me a year or so to actually find that out, but since most of you seem to be posting rock/nu-metal songs as your favs then I'll keep it in line with that.

1. Tool - Forty Six & Two Great lyrical content, musical content, and I'm a huge Tool fan.

2. Tomahawk - God Hates a Coward Anything with Mike Patton as the vocalist is bound to kick ass, from Faith No More to Mr. Bungle to Fantomas even the LP he did with Dillenger Escape Plan I love.

3. Dredge - Of the Room Good soothing song to wind down too, with parts of it edging into something heavy but not quite. The vocalist has a really smooth voice too... like buttah!

4. Nothingface - Can't Wait for Violence Great metal song, something to really get you going and smash someone's face in with your head.

5. 16 Volt's cover of NIN's - That's What I Get Not often that I'll like a cover more than the original yet this is an example of that not being the case. One of my fav NIN songs made even better by a band that I like alot <_< You have your lyrics written by Trent Reznor (NIN) and then you have a good dark wave cover by it by 16 Volt and you have a winner.

Huge tool fan, eh? I'm sure Kage can appreciate that little quote. XD

1) "Forever Love" ~ X Japan
X Japan is one of my favorite groups, and this is-- IMO-- the best ballad ever written/recorded.

2) "The Ocean Breeze Is Salty" ~ Modest Mouse
Just an overall wonderful song. Love the honesty in the voice, the lyrical content is great, and the video is awesome. ^_^

3) "Brise" ~ Malice Mizer
One of my favorite lyrical compositions. You guys should read the translation. = teh shit.

4) "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams" ~ Green Day
This song = my life story. *blinks* Sad, but true.

5) "Homo-Necro-Pedophile" ~ Masturbatory Ataris.
I doubt, 100% , that any of you have ever heard this. The band (Thylar, Thylar, and Thylar.. XD) recorded this on my comp with a shitty mic and an even shittier amp, but it's hillarious. ^__^
