Ohhh that's soooo hard to decide - My taste in music keeps changing

Currently, I'm stuck on TWO favorites and can't decide.
If I hear them being played on Radio I always turn up the volume to listen - so despite you saying ONLY ONE , I'm having 2

Gia Farrell - 'Hit Me Up' -
Heard it on 'Happy Feet soundtrack CD' - saw film & liked it (film that is) - the music is so upbeat, I use to like watching tap dancing (never could do it though) so perhaps that's another reason

Spoiler: Can't embed suitable Youtube so here's a link instead

Pussycat Dolls - Jai ho!!'
Heard a clip in the Children in need video & it just caught my attention - so looked up the original
Not too sure why I like it - Fast Upbeat again ? also the 'bollywood' feel to it perhaps ? (Never seen the film though)

Spoiler: Embeded Youtube Video

BTW - Your Embeded Youtube don't work

Sorry I can't choose one so gonna have to put two

Metallica - Dyers Eve

One of my favourite songs of all time, by my favourite band. Sometimes I like to listen to this because I feel I can relate to the lyrics. Yes that may sound depressing, but very true for me.




Slipknot - Snuff

I'm not usually a Slipknot fan, but I love the lyrics and meaning behind this song.



EDIT: Thanks Llama Riot

Best gig I went to last year; my favourite album of last year; my favourite track from the album. 'nuff said.

 

[_Chaz_]

Reason: I've heard this song quite a lot over the years and it was released at a time when I enjoyed being a kid. I love this style of music and it always seems to bring me back to those carefree times.

You guys know what I'm gonna post. :3
Anyone who guesses right gets a cookie.

 

[KingdomBlade]

Sorry, but I just had to post 3! I'm a Gleek, so I'm posting these:

Glee Cast- Halo/Walking on Sunshine (Originally by Beyonce and Katrina and the Waves) I just love the energy and the rhythm. They made Halo a lot more energetic and combined it with Walking on Sunshine. It was all so sunhine-y and optimistic.

Glee Cast- Somebody to Love (Originally by Queen) I just love how they made it so different yet so good. It's amazing. It's nearly as good as Queen's.

Glee Cast- Don't Stop Believin' (Originally by Journey) I never liked Arnel Pineda's original version and vocals. I like this one 3 times better.

Well, when it comes to music favourites, I find it hard to decide on only one track. So I prefer one fr every genre I listen to.

But my all time favourites have to be a Hard Rock classic by Led Zeppelin and a genius New Prog number by Muse

Spoiler

Title: Heartbreaker
Band: Led Zeppelin
Album: Led Zeppelin II
Year: 1969
Why it's my favorite: One of the best soloes and riffs from Page, showcases Plant's dynamic tenor vocals, a pretty groovy bass line too, and the drums are heavy and pretty rhythmic. Not the ultimate-best Zeppelin track, though one of their best. They have way too many classics to choose one best.


Title: Plug In Baby
Band: Muse
Album: Origin of Symmetry
Year: 2001
Why it's my favorite: The entire Origin of Symmetry album are my favourites, just as much as most Zeppelin songs are. The songs are all genius, but I particularly like the guitar in this more.

But my present favourite track:

Spoiler

Title: Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy
Band: Bad Company
Album: Desolation Angels
Year: 1979
Why it's my favourite: Anything from Paul Rodgers pretty much guarantee a rock-blues vocals enjoyment, while this song also has a pretty good feel to it, and the guitars aren't too bad. Bad Co. is one of the best Supergroups, ever.

I never liked Arnel Pineda's original version and vocals. I like this one 3 times better.

No. Arnel Pineda is in no way the original singer. The original singer is the great Steve Perry, who ,IMO, is a much better vocalist.(And also the guy who Arnel Pineda's vocal skills is emulating)

 

[Leamonde.Halcyon]

Oooh it's hard to choose only one track but I can at least list my current top three as it varies from time to time...these are also in no order of preference:

Porcelain and the Tramps-"Neighbor"
~`Industrial-ish. Great song to just rock out to.

Diablo Swing Orchestra-"Bedlam Sticks"
~`Metal/Swing/Avant Garde. This song and this band are just awesome. Completely fucked up and completely awesome. Very hard to describe but I can't get this song out of my head. Definitely one of the best from this band.

Ayria-"Blue Alice"
~`Hard to describe I'm not sure what genre it falls into really, but this song is a fucked up version of Alice in Wonderland

Also very catchy.

Right now I would have to say my favorite song to listen to is
Muse - Uprising


The instrumentals, vocals, and lyrics are all great.

My second favorite at this time (and always will be high on my list) is
Bob Dylan - The Times They Are A-Changin'

It has great lyrics that are timeless.
