Ok, just what are YOUR favorite songs?

Realizing that as musicians, our personal favorite song list may differ from the typically requested general audience favorites, I think it would be interesting to find out what the PERSONAL favorite songs are of the rest of the Synthzone membership as well. Please share.

Scott

My favourite pieces;
If these count as clasical that is not really songs you would sing to.

Moonlight sonata (Beethoven)
Piano concerto No.1 (Tchaikovsky)
Caruso (Dalla)
Piano Concerto in A minor (Grieg)

Those above are my alltime favourites.

It is very hard to say what my favorite songs are, because I like many many songs and many different styles of music.
But the songs that move me are the Gershwin songs from Porgy and Bess. Only 2 days ago I listened to the song "(I loves you) Porgy" sung by Billie Holiday - I had tears in my eyes.
Many Beatlesongs are also on my list of favorites. But I think we did the favorite Beatles songs before on this forum.

Russ

"Unchained Melody"

Larry Hawk

Remember the albums we'd take to a deserted island... 5 of my most favorite songs are:
1. Groovin'
2. Ebb Tide
3. Have I Told You Lately That I Love You
4. Live Like You Were Dying (a new one from Tim Mc Graw)
5. You've Got a Friend

I'm not old enough yet for those 'standard' tunes, but I do like 'em.

I think you mean songs to PLAY. Either way, it's tough. To play... hmmm... been enjoying playing these awhile.

Paint It Black, Rolling Stones
L.A. Freeway, Jerry Jeff Walker
He Stopped Loving Her Today, George Jones
Ain't Misbehavin (re: Hank Jr. style)
Imagine, John Lennon
Hurt, Johnny Cash

I just heard Johnny Cash's version of Bridge Over Troubled Water. If you don't get chill bumps, you are already dead.

Ditto for Eva Cassidy's "Over the Rainbow."

Scott,
My favorite of all times is Superwoman by Stevie Wonder. In fact, Talking Book and the era from him was great. I also like the old Amrosia songs.
Zuki

Hmmmmm tough one:
So very hard to go - Tower of Power
Love has no pride - Bonnie Raite
One Voice - Barry Manalow
Don't misunderstand - Etta Jones
Smile - Nat Cole
Sun Goddess - Ramsey Lewis & EWF
anything by Ella, Karen Carpenter
That's just the slow dances ...
This is too hard ..... I can't think !
