What are your favourite songs?

Post by eXcommunicate » Tue Mar 10, 2009 4:44 am

What are your favourite songs? This isn't a music dump thread - this is more like people making a presentation of their overall taste in music. Like, what songs/groups/albums are representative of your tastes?

I hate to say it, but I'm a regular Top 40-whatever is playing on the local radio station- person.
I go for songs I can sing/mumble along to, much to the dismay of my children.

I still like many of the Classic Rock songs that I listened to as a teen. AC/DC, Pink Floyd, Led Zep. ..that sort of stuff. I can sing along to those too.
