Just wondering what people think of for a favorite song from their favorite artist is.
At the moment my favorite song is The Beginning is the end is the beginning-Smashing Pumpkins
Not of all time but just right now.

Be My Head · « **Reply #1 on:** 25 Feb 2009, 20:13 »

Well, mine is pretty damn obvious.

"Be My Head" by The Flaming Lips

celticgeek · « **Reply #2 on:** 25 Feb 2009, 20:15 »

No Man's Land by June Tabor. A wonderful anti-war song.

wowy319 · « **Reply #3 on:** 25 Feb 2009, 21:21 »

Right now my favorite one is Chop Suey! It's incredibly catchy, and it makes me happy.

You are still asking an impossible question. I have at least 10 answers.

THIS.

Seriously, for some of my favorite artists you couldn't ask me to pin down a favorite song.

Dimmukane · « **Reply #6 on:** 25 Feb 2009, 21:56 »

Or even an album. Don't ask me to choose between Ashes Against the Grain or The Mantle (Agalloch) or between Colour Haze, Tempel and All (Colour Haze). I will hit you.

BeoPuppy · « **Reply #7 on:** 25 Feb 2009, 23:54 »

Loads of albums and artists possible.

Let me just say ... Vintage Whine by Skyclad. Just so I can type Skyclad.

Neil Young - Thrasher

Clearly Ashes Against the Grain.

Thrillho · « **Reply #13 on:** 26 Feb 2009, 04:52 »

I have two favourite artists, Nick Cave and Ryan Adams. My favourite Cave tune is 'Far From Me,' my favourite Adams song is 'Political Scientist.'

MrBlu · « **Reply #14 on:** 26 Feb 2009, 06:05 »

"Stay That Way"- The Plastic Constellations.

Of course I'm kidding.
"Aside"- The Weakerthans.

valley_parade · « **Reply #15 on:** 26 Feb 2009, 06:09 »

"Hey, What Time Is 'Pensacola: Wings Of Gold' On, Anyway?" by the Lawrence Arms.

Or "1970" by Boris.

Dazed · « **Reply #16 on:** 26 Feb 2009, 06:14 »

Starla by Smashing Pumpkins or Close to the Edge by Yes.

valley_parade · « **Reply #17 on:** 26 Feb 2009, 06:29 »

Tell me PRS didn't steal the name of a guitar model from a Smashing Pumpkins song.

That at least wins at greatest song title ever.

Shiny by The Decemberists.

That is all.

dancarter · « **Reply #21 on:** 26 Feb 2009, 08:20 »

Really varies wildly depending on my mood.

Currently, it's Scrapyard by Skinny Puppy. But then again, I always say something about Skinny Puppy.

Room full of Mirrors- Jimi Hendrix
But lately, I've been listening to a lot of Dead Kennedys, let's put Police Truck here too.

emmalee · « **Reply #26 on:** 26 Feb 2009, 10:58 »

There are way too many. My favorite song is whichever one fits the moment. That said, there are a couple I come back to.

In My Time of Need - Opeth
In The Aeroplane Over The Sea - Neutral Milk Hotel
Girl Sailor - The Shins
Breathe Me - Sia
Black Cadillacs - Modest Mouse
Ocean Breathes Salty - Modest Mouse
All Time Lows - Hellogoodbye
For The Girl - The Fratellis

Right, I'm not going to be able to finish the list. I keep finding more.

No, seriously,

I laughed.

And cried.

Returning to the Fold - The Thermals
Back & Forth - The Dismemberment Plan
We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed - Los Campesinos!
Rain on Tin - Sonic Youth

I wanted to do 5, but those are seriously the 4 bands I consider my absolute favorites sooo...there.

I need to take reccomendations more often. I'd never heard of Hum or Colour Haze before and they both fucking destroy.

My current obsession is Insectivora by the Constantines. Its subject to change in the next day or so.

Lion in a Coma-Animal Collective

For the moment anyway

Big Happy Captain · « **Reply #32 on:** 26 Feb 2009, 16:43 »

I'm going with Miracle Mile by Silkworm. Such a great song.

Seconded. Or Wet Firecracker.

imapiratearg · « **Reply #34 on:** 26 Feb 2009, 18:41 »

Thirded.

Christophe · « **Reply #35 on:** 26 Feb 2009, 20:42 »

I guess if I went with Silkworm, Miracle Mile would be a definite choice.

Or Garden City Blues. Or The Cigarette Lighters. Or Give Me Some Skin. Or Dead Air. Or I Hope U Don't Survive. Or Don't Look Back. Or Bar Ice.

Goddamnit why you gotta make me do a thing and attempt to find a favorite Silkworm song. It isn't possible!

I think it was just a play on words since their other "budget" american-made model is the Mira.

BTW I own a Mira maple top and it's a lovely guitar but JESUS PRS hasn't made a decent bridge pickup since the original HFS. I think I'm gonna swap mine out.

"Guess How much I Love You" by The Lucksmiths has been stuck in my head for the past 48 hours.

But for some reason the first song that popped into my head as an answer for this impossible question was "Everyone is My Friend" by The Owls. So I guess I'll just go with that.
