Ron Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 OK whenever we discuss what our favorite Dennis song is, we usually can't narrow it down and end up with a list of 5-10 songs. But what about songs by other artists? What is your favorite non-Styx song? Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladybugking Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 How much room ya got on here, Ron? I will have to whittle my list of, oh about 100 or more songs, down to a few. I will get back on it later! It will be interesting to see what others enjoy. I will tell you this -- the original version of "I Am the Walrus" is nowhere near my list, nor is that cover band's version either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkfloyd1973 Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Currently it's "Iris" By The Goo-Goo Dolls Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking it's going to be awfully tough to come up with just 1...5 to 10 would even be pretty hard. How about we give some categories. Might make this one easier to answer. Just a thought.

Ron Posted July 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 For those of you trying to narrowing down a huge list, here's what I'm looking for: The first non-Styx/Dennis song that pops into your head when someone asks you for a list of your favorite songs. The song that comes to mind without hesitation. For me, I would have to say Tom Sawyer by Rush and Friends by Michael W Smith are at the top of my list. My current favorite is "Accidentally In Love" by Counting Crows, from Shrek 2. It's stuck in my head. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladybugking Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Ignoring what Ron wrote completely, I will do some by genres of my own making. In no particular order. “I Don’t Want to Live Without You” – Foreigner – Sappy Power Ballad category “Just Once” – James Ingram (Runner up: “Overjoyed” – Stevie Wonder ) – R & B category “Live to Tell” – Madonna – Slutty Girl Singer category “I’ll Be the One” – Backstreet Boys – Boy Band category “The Chair” – George Strait – Country category “Thunderstruck” – AC/DC – Hard Rock category “Headed for a Heartbreak” – Winger – Hair Band category “Modern Love” – David Bowie – Thin, English White Guy category “Abbey Road : Here Comes the Sun through Her Majesty” – Beatles category (OK, I know that’s cheating! These songs cannot be separated in my view) “Diamonds and Rust” – Joan Baez – Folk category “In My Room” – The Beach Boys – Old 60’s Music category “Dreaming in Metaphors” – Seal – Smooth jazz category (OK, ok….stretching, I know) “Tchaikovsky – Fifth Symphony and Rachmaninoff – Fifth Symphony” – Dead European Guy Classical Music category - a tie. “Rhapsody in Blue” – Gershwin – Modern Classic music (I like many versions but partial to Andre Previn’s recording of it) “The Christmas Song” – Nat King Cole version – Christmas song Sorry Ron. A host of songs enters my mind when someone asks me my favorite song. Depends entirely upon the situation. This list could actually be much longer!!

Ron Posted July 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Ignoring what Ron wrote completely, I will do some by genres of my own making. :20: I'm so upset I was ignored :20: Serriously, I don't care. I only suggested that to help narrow those long lists down (myself included). Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what about songs by other artists? What is your favorite non-Styx song? Ron <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Changes as my mood changes of course, but some tried and true winners for me right now: The Dance-Garth Brooks Any Way You Want It-Journey Long and Winding Road-The Beatles China Grove-Doobie Brothers American Pie-Don Mc Lean It Was a Very Good Year-Frank Sinatra 100 Years-Five for Fighting La Bamba-Los Lobos version At Last-(Cyndi Lauper version) Dancin in the Moonlight-King Harvest Canon D-Pachelbel Rhapsody in Blue-Hershey Felder version Now ask me in another hour...it will surely be different.

teesa_66 Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 OK, I've spent the last week struggling with this question. It actually got a lot easier once I realized that the question was NOT "what is your favorite ROCK song?" but rather "what is your favorite song?"--I just can not come up with a favorite rock song. However, after a lot of thought, I think I finally came up with my all-time favorite song--Schubert's "Ave Maria". And, Ron, this was entirely tooo much work!
