      Hey! Just listened to 'Rocks' by Primal Scream. Have'nt heard it since the 90's. I think i'll be listenin to that for a while now. Wot a rockin' toon. Its mad how songs like that'll just creep up on ya, especially since it was on BBC Radio 2 just now, Britains radio answer to a lobotomy, or an old folks home.

      I don't know...I still think you can have a favorite song of ALL TIME and then a million second choices. For me, it's Louie Louie. Max Reverb-Wipe Out, Peter Griffin-Surfin' Bird. I kind of thought that everyone has at least ONE favorite song that they always come back too. It doesn't mean you have to listen to it EVERYDAY, or otherwise you're not be true to yourself. That's just ridiculous. But your fave song changes everyday? Maybe every five years, but everyday?

      you're right for me, today, it's "snack crack" from billy childish. kopper said:
      I can't pick my favorite band, album, song, or even genre. I've never been able to do that. It's just too difficult and I don't view music in that way. Every day can be different, every mood can produce a different result. One song can be perfect for one situation or instance but terrible for another. It's like asking what your favorite food or movie is. If you can seriously narrow it down to just one, then you're not living life to the fullest. That's my two cents, anyway.

      Jefffrey Lee was such an amazing lyricist! Fire of love is such a great record for them I can listen to Jack on fire, she's like heroin, or sex beat over and over and over. Theres a version of me doing "she's like heroin on my page" Ryan Thomas LeGere said:

      For all time favorite i usually go with WIPE OUT, because no matter what kind of mood I'm in I'm always glad to hear it. No words so its always appropriate somehow. This choice may also influenced by an LSD trip I had when I was young and played the 45 over and over for an hour or two until these girls begged to watch some movie.

      Picking a favourite of anything is tough! Here's a few that I just can't get enough of:

      Green Door (don't care what version, the Shakin Stevens one down the pub always does the job nicely!)
      Man For All Seasons - The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster
      The Crusher (again, any version will do)
      Into the Valley - The Skids

      I know as soon as I hit the reply button a load more will pop into my head!!

      For the past week it has been Esquece by Os Ekos. I really can't get enough of that song, even though I know only a very small amount of Portuguese. As for all time, Johnny Thunders One Track Mind gives me goosebumps every god damn time. Also, I get shaky when I hear the Searcher's version of Needles and Pins.

      Mine always changes too, but it frequently comes back to "Freddy's Dead," "The Ballad of Thunder Road" (Robert Mitchum), and Canned Heat's version of "One Kind Favor." "Bikini Girls with Machine Guns" is up there too.

      Impossible for me to name my favorite song of all time but the song i'd choose that encapsulates everything I love about rock & roll? EASY :

      Runaround Sue by Dion & The Belmonts.

      Perfection!

      Yes, and that's what Louie Louie does for me lawrence galvan III said:
      I agree with Kopper, it is difficult to name a "FAVORITE",Louie Louie by The Kingsmen is FUCKING AWESOME,
      but Cruel To Be Kind still gives me chills when I here it. That's what a "FAVORITE" song should do! Is it not?

      OK, when you're three pages into a topic, you gotta start referring back to what you are talking about cuz I don't think I'm the only one thinking that you are just refering to the last post. You are no longer just talking to the original poster. If you'd been the very first person to reply, it would have made more sense what you said. Ross Jesus Navaro Richards said:
