Your answer should probably have been "what, right now..!?" and then give her the latest earworm thats been bouncing about your brain. Not a bad tune for a 7 year old btw... You should get a book and note down the date and the song and ask the same question every month. It will be a marvellous thing to share when you are buying her her first (legal) Glastonbury beer in 11 years time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dizzymoo Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 Great thread, it's made me revisit music I love. Agree with many on here that 'favourite' changes as we hear new stuff and experience music at times of heightened emotion, but this still does it for me after 25(?) years 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooooh now that is a great shout. Outstanding banger from the era when I was first discovering the dancefloor… 😍 It’s probably down to hormones or something but the music & memories from teenage years always seem to hit different.

Supernintendo Chalmers Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 Nothing captures my youth like "Born Slippy". And it still slaps to this day. 96. What a year. Britpop, Euro 96, Knebworth and this absolute beast of a tune. What a time to be alive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a playlist last week of the 20 songs I would choose if I could only listen to 20 songs for the rest of my life and Atmosphere is one of them.

gigpusher Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 No way could I pick one song. I can't even do favourite sad song, favourite happy song and it totally would be mood dependant. Funeral songs I can do. Days by The Kinks (or even better the live Glastonbury version Ray did in 2010) I actually like the idea of having a lot of musical numbers. I could quite happily do a whole playlist. My husband's funeral song is It's the end of the world as we know it (and I feel fine) by REM.

JSmurphy Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 A song and an album I've listened to hundreds of times since it's release. Not my all-timer favourite but it deserves its time to shine. Simultaneously some of the most heart-breaking lyrics yet so inspiring and hopeful (listen to the album in full - it's an emotional journey). The studio version is cleaner of course, but this live performance captures the emotion wonderfully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazola Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 I don't even have to think about it. Prince - I wanna be your lover - Dimitri from paris edit (don't worry about the wonky naming on Youtube below) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The studio version is cleaner of course, but this live performance captures the emotion wonderfully. I adore this song (also one of the 20 songs in the playlist I mentioned earlier) and album. My album of the decade for 2010-2019 and one of my favourite/most important albums of all-time. Nothing has touched this album since it came out five years ago.

Ah, if we're talking funeral songs, then I've got 3 - Atmosphere - Joy Division (as mentioned before), White man in Hammersmith Palais - The Clash & The man don't give a fuck by Super Furry Animals.

Funeral song is a different discipline, but for very similar reasons I would go for Disco Inferno by The Trammps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
