My Top 5 favorite songs of all time... - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

il Padrino Ute · 01-21-2006, 03:23 AM

in no particular order:

Just Another Day - Oingo Boingo
Birds Fly (Whisper to a Scream) - Icicle Works
Be Good Johnny - Men at Work
Belly of the Whale - Burning Sensations
How Soon Is Now - The Smiths

These are all songs from my high school/college days. I'll admit that I'm stuck in the 80s good stuff.

After these five, there are a host of other songs that I really like, but I was able to narrow it down to these 5. Perhaps later, if I put my mind to it, I can whittle away for the next 5.

How 'bout you folks? What are your favorites?

I prefer the cover by The Blues Brothers.

And I prefer Elton John's cover.

Actually, the Lyle Lovett version is the best. No question.

Since I'm a total self admitted music whore, there's no way I can pare down my favorite songs to just 5.

This is a tough question to frame. I'll go with this:

If I were to die RIGHT NOW, these are the songs I'd like to be remembered for having liked:

- No. 13 Baby (Pixies)
- Polar Opposites (Modest Mouse)
- Romantic Rights (Death From Above 1979)
- How Soon Is Now? (The Smiths)
- Ghosts Are Good Company (Bishop Allen)

Honorable Mention: Antistar (Massive Attack), Falling to Pieces (Faith No More), Abstinent Dry Sex (Lackthereof)

How Soon Is Now is an excellent, excellent choice. It will now replace Modern English on my list.
