One song. Once song only.

[JDPNYY]

You can only listen to one song for the rest of your life.

Which song would you choose?

[Evil Empire]

This is the song that never ends.

[Mattpat11]

Dream On

[Evil Empire]

Dream On

Holy Crap, that would probably be mine.

[JDPNYY]

I'm sure everyone already knows mine.

[DeputyFife]

Gravity Plan- by Modest Mouse

[Sam18]

Ding Dong the Witch is Dead.

[PinstripePride]

Hollaback Girl by Gwen Stefani.

[Arod for President]

Hollaback Girl by Gwen Stefani.

UGH what a stupid song. hey just my opinion!

[Sam18]

Hollaback Girl by Gwen Stefani.

[Wang's Groundballs]

Probably "Where is my mind?" by the Pixies.

[Sam18]

Probably "Where is my mind?" by the Pixies.

I would've guessed "Only Time" by Enya.

[MiamiKat]

"Transmission" by Joy Division

[NYDCYankee]

"'Round Here" - Counting Crows

[IronCaballo4]

"The Humpty Dance" by Digital Underground

[Tifoso]

Nessun Dorma-- Boccelli

Yes, really.

[NYYBombshell]

Nessun Dorma-- Boccelli

Yes, really.

I prefer Sarah Brightman's version.

[NYYBombshell]

Probably Tea for One by Led Zeppelin.

[Tifoso]

I prefer Sarah Brightman's version.

I am majorly impressed. Really.

Help me out, amica mia---what's the song that she and Andrea sing together?
It would be my 2nd choice---but having brain lock

I've always loved her voice. I have pretty much all her albums and all of her live concert DVDs save one. Her version of O Mio Babbino Caro is flawless.

The song is Time to Say Goodbye (Con Te Partiro). She does a stunning solo version on her "Classics" album.

That's it.

Bocelli is so inspiring, though. Born blind, he has to memorize the songs without ever seeing them. He's brilliant.

Listen to his solo rendition (same tape). Simply stunning (and ALL in Italian, as it was originally).

[MisterNovember]

Good idea for a thread.

Mine would have to be Piano Man. I know its cheesy and not all that original, but i have so many good memories with this song that I don't think I could ever get sick of it.

[Sheff_Rod]

Rump Shaker.

All I wanna do is zoom-a-zoom-zoom-zoom
and a poom-poom - JUST SHAKE YA RUMP!

[MisterNovember]

I used to love that song in Junior High. The first two CDs I ever purchased were Nirvana's "Nevermind", and Wrecx N Effex. If there are two more disparate CDs in the history of recorded music, I dare you to find them.

[NYYBombshell]

From my CD collection:


Sarah Brightman's Eden (classical music)

&

Britney Spears' Oops.....I Did It Again (not so classical music)

Fair enough.

I still think that the fact that I purchased "Nevermind" and "Rumpshaker" on the same day proves that I was a very confused, conflicted 14 year old.

[NYYBombshell]

Fair enough.

Ah, I didn't purchase them on the same day. I believe you win.

[penguin4]

Aerosmith and Salt N' Peppa, baby. My first two tapes. I was 11. (Admittedly singles, but still...)

Oh yeah, and my answer would either have to be or "Crucifixion" by Phil Ochs or "November Rain" by GNR.

[Tifoso]

Not in Italian.

[JDPNYY]

Not in Italian.

I beg to differ.

[Tifoso]

I beg to differ.

OK, you may.

Andrea is male in Italian

[Sam18]

BTW this thread title is confusing.

[yankeebot]

Layla - Eric Clapton

[Casey37]

I Only Have Eyes for You
The Flamingos

[Archer1979]

Dirty Water.

[SoCal Pinstriper]

A Love Supreme - John Coltrane

Edit: errr, maybe Giant Steps, or some Miles. This is a hard question.

[yankeesnum1]

Orion - Metallica

[Bub]

OK. Has to be a song that won't drive you bats. Should be a song that can involk a lot of thoughts and reflection on your life. Has to have a lot of meaning so you can chew on different pieces every time you listen.

Poems, Prayers and Promises by John Denver.

[fredgmuggs]

Poems, Prayers and Promises by John Denver.

If I was going to go with a John Denver song I would have picked "Perhaps Love".

There are just so many options... it really is impossible to pick just one song (at least for me).

I have been in a Hoagy Carmichael mood lately... but it's too late, I've already picked. Besides, you can never go wrong with Beethoven.

[allybear]

This is a hard topic - I guess "Black" by Pearl Jam, but there's probably a good 20 songs I could listen to forever without going nuts.

[fredgmuggs]

Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 14 in C sharp minor, Op. 27 No. 2

[penguin4]

Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 14 in C sharp minor, Op. 27 No. 2

O_o I didn't even *think* of classical music ('cause admittedly I don't listen to a lot of it) -- but I think I'll amend mine and say Brahms's Requiem, which is a little over an hour long and just really bowls me over every time. We did it in chorus sophomore year of college and it's one of those pieces that's almost a spiritual experience every time I hear it.

[RhodyYanksFan]

This is a hard topic - I guess "Black" by Pearl Jam, but there's probably a good 20 songs I could listen to forever without going nuts.

Ooh that's a good one.

Maybe the live version of Mountain Jam by Allman Bros Band because it's easily 45 minutes long so it'd be harder for it to get redundant.

[Hitman23]

"I Touch Myself"

no way I could pick just one. Even if I picked the greatest song ever written, heard enough times I'd hate it.

I heard Hotel California right after Stairway on one of the radios here in the office yesterday and I thought to myself how if I never hear either again, that would be quite alright. And they're both awesome songs.

I'd be able to pick an album, but not a song.

[JWHIII]

Fade to Black-Metallica

[b-ball-lunachick]

This is a hard topic - I guess "Black" by Pearl Jam, but there's probably a good 20 songs I could listen to forever without going nuts.

damn, that's a great song - huh Ally? only thing is it's so "black" that I think it would be depressing to hear over and over...

I was going to say Waitin on a Sunny Day by Bruce but I'll go with Thunder Road.

[Stupid Flanders]

This is a hard topic - I guess "Black" by Pearl Jam, but there's probably a good 20 songs I could listen to forever without going nuts.

OK that was going to be my choice.. but I'll try and be unique.

Classical is probably the way to go if you don't want to be insane, but I'm ok with going nuts.

So.. either "Monkey Gone to Heaven" by the Pixies or anything off of Springsteen's "Nebraska"

[gdn]

Oh, so many to choose from!

So Cruel - U2
Death and the Maiden
Wish you were here
Do you feel - Frampton


Oh wow, I have no idea...

[BrooklynBotz]

Northern Soul by The Verve. It rocks but you can dance to it and it's kind of pissed off which I would be if I could only listen to one song for the rest of my life.

[sprucemoose]

Funny that you mention that song in this thread.......after a bad breakup a few years ago I listened to 'On Your Own' from the Northern Soul album non-stop on repeat for a few days straight.....turns out it wouldn't be my 'one song' since I can't stand it now, and thats after just three days of hearing nothing but that song....still a great, and under-rated album though

My one song would have to be Dylan, probably 'Tangled up in Blue'
