Chicks On Lit discussion

I'm at a blank for downloading songs, so I was wondering what are your top three all time favourite songs?

Mine are:

Lady Madonna: The Beatles
Donde Estan Corazon: Enrique Iglesias
Kanye West and Chris Martin: Homecoming

I know a bit random and all a bit different but Im a sucker for The Beatles, spanish music, and rap!

So what do you like?

Ooooh, ok fun! :) lady madonna is fan-tas-tic! You're cracking me up, Silvia! Do you listen to Gnarls Barkley? They're awesome and fun.

I have ONE all time favorite song, and the other two are just my current runners up. :)

My all time favorite song is:
Here Comes the Sun by George Harrison. It's on the Abbey Road album. But Richie Havens does a version that is soooooo beautiful, I cry!

Two others that I dig right now:
Last Night it Snowed by the Ass Ponys
Fuck You by Harry Nilsson

AAA! I love Here Comes the Sun. I set my alarm to wake me up to that song in the morning! Gnarls Barkley can be lots of fun! Ill check out your other songs :D

Gnarls Barkley's Blind Mary is just soooo freaking sweet. Makes me think that there really might be nice guys out there somewhere.

I'm intrigued that you like Spanish music. In my quest to learn Spanish, I'm thinking that I need to listen to some Spanish music. I have an online "boyfriend" who is from the Dominican Republic and he sends me you tube links to spanish music all the time. Thank god there are pictures--it makes it funnier, especially since I can't understand any of the words. :)

I LOVE spanish music! Sylvia, what type do you listen to?
Ever since going to college in Miami, I have become addicted to reggaeton... If you're into that, I could give you OODLES of suggestions because my itunes is filled with it! I also have other variations from tango, bachata, etc...
Cool to know someone else is into spanish music. Let me know!

That is the hardest question in the world!

I don't think I could answer that it changes daily.

The songs that I always love regardless of how many times I hear it is
Brown Eyed Girl Van Morrison
Fields of Gold Sting

My current fav song is

John Mayer doing Free Falling

[jumping up & down] YAY, Tera!! I looove Van Morrison. He's one of my all time fave artists.

Tis a hard question, selecting just three but here are the three that popped into my head upon reading the question.
- Into The Mystic by Van Morrison
- Uncle John's Band by The Grateful Dead
- Back in Black or You Shook Me by ACDC

Yeah, there is something about Van Morrison that just makes ya smile, even if his song is sad. :)

Its really hard trying to pick just 3, but a few of my top songs are
1. king of sorrow- Sade
2. Dile- Don Omar
3. Secret- Maroon 5

Van Morrison YAY!!!
But it's "Moon Dance" all the way for me
next
is "Sultans of Swing" by Dire Straits
then

"Crazy in Love" by Beyonce

Oh so random I know.

but you wanted the 3 ALL time faves.

Amanda, I can't find that Harry Nilsson song, and I do like him. I did go and find that song by the Ass Ponys since their name intrigued me and it is a good one. My boyfriend had heard of them.

Bummer. I only have it on a mix CD that somebody made me. :(

Ok, I just googled it and it's actually called "breakin my heart"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwlP_g...

I have no clue what that movie is that's playing. But the song is there! :)

I know that song. Are you going through a sad time right now or are you just liking the angry songs? (lol)

Thanks for that by the way.

no comment
;)

Tera have you heard the Brown Eyed girl version that John Mayor sings? I am a huge fan! I love Slow Dancing in a Burning Room.

Amanda I would love suggestions! I really am big into Anais right now (her slow songs) and I really love the song Te Quiero by Wisin y Yandel. They have fun songs :P

SHUT UP!!! John Mayer does a version. I am so going to hunt that down now.

I ALMOST put Into The Mystic but I didn't want to put only VM.

I love into the mystic. Did I mention I love that song? Van Morrison = musical perfection

1. Rock With You- Michael Jackson
2. Papa Don't Preach- Madonna
3. My Endless Love- Diana Ross and Lionel Ritchie

I am a music lover so there's many more but these are three of my favorites.

I wanted to add Adam Raised a Caine by Springsteen but didn't want to break the rules, LOL. One of my favs!

Wow you guys.....great songs have been mentioned. I have to say that Brown Eyed Girl can always make me smile and think back to when I was 21 and this little bar used to play it at least once during the night and a certain guy used to sing it to me. And change it to Green Eyed Girl. Mad About You by Belinda Carlisle gives me the same smile (same guy!) LOL

I too have loved the Beatles most of my life and Don't Let Me Down is my fave. "Dust in the Wind" by Kansas in that "older" genre reminds me of my mom when I was about 2 or 3. She used to sing it to me.

My top 3 faves.....

Don't Dream Its Over by Crowded House

Wild Horses by the Rolling Stones

Right To Be Wrong by Joss Stone

Tera, I agree Van Morrison does = musical perfection.

Holli, Wild Horses is my all time fave Rolling Stones and I Love every single song on that Joss Stone Album. OK CD, I am showing my age.

Wild Horses makes me cry everytime I hear it....love it :) Right To Be Wrong could word for word be my life anthem....what a great CD and Joss Stone has an awesome voice.

I don't think I could come up with just 3, but an ALL TIME favorite of mine is "Ain't no Mountain High Enough" by Marvin Gaye and I forget the woman who sings with him...

Imagine by John Lennon

Tera - Doug will love to hear that you love VM. That's his favorite as well. We went to see him in concert in Dallas I think last year.

Gosh, favorite songs? I'll probably edit this later on...but here are some that I have loved for a long time:

1. "Ghost" by the Indigo Girls
2. OK, can't think of another one. I'll think of them on the long drive home.

I will always love you by Whitney Houston..come on admit it you do too love it...lol

Here are three more (because I can't narrow it down):

2. "River" by Joni Mitchell
3. "Hallelujah" - I love the Brandi Carlile version
4. "Vox" by Sarah MacLachlan

I love Hallelujah. Gavin DeGraw does a beautiful version too.

I have to stick with the Jeff Buckley version of Hallelujah, I just love it. I even have the video. He was so cute!

I love Bradi Carlile! I like Cannonball & Live til I Die

And...hmmmmm... Stardust by Nat King Cole & Willie Nelson

ohhh and Seven Spanish Angel (Merle and Willie)

and ... so many many many many more!

Wait! Music of the Night sung by Gerard Butler!

Ok, I'll go...

Don't even get me started on Spanish music...

not all-times, but my 2 current faves are josh turner Would You Go With Me and rita springer I Have to Believe

Oh yeah - the definitive song of my childhood - "You Can Call Me Al" by Paul Simon. Love that one. Does anyone have a clue what he's talking about?

I'm so excited to find other Van Morrison fans!!

Maureen - Shooter Jennings does a cover of Dire Straights Walk the Line. Real cool.

Imagine by John Lennon
I will always love you by Whitney Houston
Titanic theme song by Celine Dion

this is the hardest question ever. my tastes are so weird - no one laugh ;0)

Push - Matchbox Twenty (loved this song in my high school days)
Over my Head - The Fray
Pour Some Sugar on Me - Def Leppard (best rock song of all time..lol)

Your tastes aren't weird Brandie.....those are three great songs that I happen to love!! i have all 3 CD's :) Matchbox Twenty are one of my fave bands, I fell in love with The Fray last year, and Pour Some Sugar On Me brings back memories of dancing on top of the bar with my friends back in California!!

great choices Brandi. Push is one of my fav MB20 songs and ditto with Over My Head!

yeah...Pour Some Sugar on Me takes me back to dancing at the bars, too! it was really hard to narrow it down to three songs!!

LOVE Matchbox 20!
