[SassyLassie]

Well, LOL, just call me old fashioned, but I love the songs and music from the big band era, so here is mine:

Glenn Miller:  Moonlight Serenade

Maynard Ferguson:  Invitation

[MJIthewriter]

It's hard for me to pick an all time favorite. It depends on my mood and what things are on my mind at the time.

High on my list is Enya - Athair Ar Neamh. It's sung in Irish Gaelic. The translation is beautiful. It makes a good song to play in the background. It's kind of sad, but the translation is beautiful. I use it when I'm writing.

Often when I am writing I prefer music without lyrics, because then I can focus on the setting/character's dialogues, etc.

When I am painting or doing artwork, then I listen to a variety of music, lyrics or not.

[MJIthewriter]

I didn't realize I repeated myself until after I posted.... Yes a lot of Enya music is beautiful to listen to if you want background music.

[dominosarah]

those are good songs too.  I have to look in my archives for some more too.  Ever listen to Blackfoot??  

[Cherie762]

Wish You Where Here...Pink Flloyd

Dream On......Aerosmith

The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face....Elivis...
( I sang this to my boys when I rocked them as babies nice memory)


How Great Thou Art.....By   I dont know but it makes my soul feel good

[crabby70]

Free Fallin...Tom Petty...


Good one dominosarah ...whitesnake

I have so many songs for different moods...Love Blondie....

Billy Vera....the sad song...  

[crabby70]

Pour Some Sugar On Me....Def Leppard

[Cherie762]

Your so Vain....Carly simon

Very Superstitsious......Stevie

Grape Vine........Marvin Gaye

To Close to Jupiter...Train

[Trialanderror]

Ooh, Led Zeppelin`s Kashmir is really good, I agree. And Enya, oh yes! And Marvin Gaye gets to me... And I did listen to Creedence Clearwater Revival a lot.

If I have to choose two though for the majority of my moods, it would be:
1. Old fashioned swing of the 1930s - anything by the Boswell Sisters
2. Anything by Nirvana

[jollyman069]

loved Blackfoot....train tarin..take me on out of this place>>>>>

also Sir Elton John..one of the best shows i ever saw

then our wild man Ozzy Osbourne

The Outlasw, Mooly Hatchet..Lynard Zknyard

[PrettyKitty1]

King Crimson people!!!!! The song Epitaph is just unbelievably deep!!! :)

Please, please, someone, listen to that song or I'll have a heart attack!!!

[AHP84]

"I Can Only Imagine" by MercyMe. That's my all-time favorite song, although I have tons of other favorites.

[dominosarah]

Sir Elton John and Billy Joel are coming to Minneapolis!!!!  Wouldnt that be a kick a$$ concert!!!!

[jollyman069]

yes that would,,,sir elton is one of the best musiciaisns i have ever saw what a show..and the pianao man himself my god if you can get tickets go!!!!!

[Angelinthemorning]

My all time favorite is
"Mere Idea of You" by Doris Day
2nd fav
"Yes Indeed!" by Tommy Dorsey
I've loved early 20's, 30's music since I was very young.  Something about the way they sang and played back then just had so much more soul and depth...

[Cherie762]

oh yeah someone said Nirvana love the song Lithium

[jollyman069]

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SassyLassie]

I love those two songs too. I have so many of the big band era and also lots of videos I have recorded from PBS featuring them,. I think they are the greatest.

My dad used to play in the big bands, one was with Clyde McCoy, their theme song was Sugar Blues.

[Angelinthemorning]

That's great!!  I played in a jazz band for three years (alto sax).  It was really fun, I was the only one under 50 in it though.  I have a decent record collection from the 20's to 40's.  About 200 records in all!!  Picked most of them up from the back of old antique shops.  I have to listen to them on vinyl, it's more authentic.

[rebel5]

My all time fav song are

Girls just wanna have fun by Cyndi Lauper

and Stardust by Nat King Cole

My reasons, well i just adore cyndi lauper and anytime i hear thei song i just start to smile and dance

and stardust it was my grandparents bridal waltz and we played it at their funerals, if i could have alove like that i would be happy.

[TrudieC]

My all time favorite is Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's Over the Rainbow.  It just melts my heart.  I'm not normally a country music lover but Lee Anne Womack's I Hope You Dance is a song I live by and hope to dance with my son at his wedding.  Otherwise I'm a '70's and '80's rock lover.
