Ooooh, just found this thread....thought I'd share......

(sorry it's a bit late)

Kate Bush- My all time fave...will never tire of listening to her
Alison Moyet-Superb voice
Il Divo-Love their harmonies, quite partial to a bit of opera
Queen-Pure class-timeless
Take That- Sing-a-long songs!
Texas-Scottish style! (as am I, by birth)

Those are my faves but I listen to most things...don't like the new "mockney" sound that's come out in England(yeuch), don't like rap, or heavy,heavy metal!!
If I can sing along, I'll like

Fave songs:-
"Killing me Softly"-Roberta Flack
"Sometimes when we touch"-Dan Hill
"Windmills in my Mind"-Alison Moyet
"Don't stop me now"-Queen
"Stop"-Sam Brown
"Perhaps,perhaps,perhaps"-Doris Day
"Words"-Extreme
"Imagine"-John Lennon
"The man with the child in his eyes"-Kate Bush
"California Dreaming"- The Mamas and the Papas

Tell me your faves, I'd love to know!!! (told you I was nosy!!!)

I LOVE "Killing Me Softly"! It's such a beautiful song.
and I love "California Dreamin", too, the Mamas and the Papas had such perfect harmonies.

My favorite songs...that's hard, I think it changes, but some that I've always loved:
~Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison (one of my ring tones on my phone-kinda makes me wish I was a brown-eyed girl!)
~The Boxer by Simon & Garfunkel (also great harmonies)
~Hotel California by The Eagles (one of the very best songs ever written)
~Hey Jude (probably IS the best song ever written, although many would say it's "Yesterday)
~It's Too Late by Carole King (whom all female singer/songwriters owe a thank you to, in my opinion)
~Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton
~More Than A Feeling by Boston (another ring-tone, for my son)
~Music of the Night by Michael Crawford (from Phantom, of course!)
~Maggie May by Rod Stewart (my main ring-tone!)

See, I can't pick a favorite!!! And yes, I know those are all old songs, no new ones have become favorites, most new music can't compare for me.
I really, really do like "Hey There Delilah" by Plain White T's (my ring-tone for my daughter, since she introduced me to the song!), and some things by Maroon 5 and I love Kelly Clarkson, but none of those are favorites.
I guess that makes me old!!

Wow, my favorites? Well, it depends on the moment, but I can easily pick up 5 that never change:

-Eternal Flame by The Bangles. Yeah, I know, really lame, but I just love this song. Weird, because my favorite music is rock and heavy metal, but I just love it.
-Bohemian Raphsody by Queen. A masterpiece.
-Crime of passion by Mike Oldfield
-Poison by Alice Cooper
-Total eclipse of the heart by Bonnie Tyler

Favorites, hmmm... there are SOOO many that I don't think I can pick! But ones that I always rock out to when they come on the radio include:

1) Hungry Like the Wolf - Duran Duran

2) Don't You (Forget About Me) - Simple Minds (a very special song to me)

3) White Wedding - Billy Idol

4) Express Yourself - Madonna

5) Hotel California - Eagles

6) Eleanor Rigby - Beatles (Don't know why, it's such a grim song but I love it... guess I can identify...)

7) Paperback Writer - Beatles

8 ) Hey Jude - The Beatles

9) New Moon on Monday - Duran Duran (My favorite of theirs, I think...)

10) In Your Eyes - Peter Gabriel

And there's many more, but these are the top ten that come to mind, at least today!

Hey Jude has such a lovely melody!!

Wonderful Tonight is beautiful...love the sentiment behind it!

And Bohemian Rhapsody is sheer timeless class!!
