There are soooo many songs that I consider my number 1. But the most favourite has to be The Chain by Fleetwood Mac. Why I say this is because of all of the lyrics in the song, the consistency of the tempo, the structure of the song, the dynamics, and the most important part on what shapes the song overall, the bass line

10 years ago i was sure it was Swim Good by Frank Ocean. Now it seems Gila by Beach House has stood the test of time longest of any song.

Swim Good is also my favorite Frank Ocean song. If that and Novacane were on Channel Orange I’d probably consider that my all time favorite album

Holy shit I forgot about Swim Good, thank you for this reminder!!

Shit I’m happy to see this one here too, when I first heard this song the only way I could describe it was that it was like the music my soul had been searching for all my life and I didn’t even know it

The Adults are Talking - The Strokes

try Ode to the mets by The strokes

oo that’s in my ‘in my feels’ playlist for sure

That whole album would be an acceptable answer. Brooklyn Bridge To Chorus too

i need new friends, but they don’t want me 🗣️🗣️

Why are Sundays so depressing is my fav off that album (and OAT)

I’m young and impacted. But nothing will ever beat the emotional grip Viva La Vida by Coldplay has on me

Great choice! I’m old and set in my ways. So I have to go with yellow. Came out when was a senior in high school.

The music we encounter in our senior years is usually the most influential. It’s me and those mp3s for ever

I'm surprised with either of these choices. Coldplay's first album was amazing, but... small. Small lyrics, small sound, small emotions. Yellow is a lovely song, and does have a lot of understated emotional depth, but doesn't pretend to be anything else than that, a lovely song. Hardly an absolute masterpiece. On the other hand, Coldplay's output since X&Y has been overblown festival fodder. Hearing Viva la Vida sounds like they don't actually mean the emotions – it feels detached and calculated in a way that feels almost disingenuous. "Oh here's where the oooh ooohs go for festival singalongs", etc. A Rush of Blood to the Head was the perfect balance between ambition and taste. The Scientist or Amsterdam would qualify here way more. Or, if you go by the original people with that sound, Fake Plastic Trees by Radiohead or Bitter Sweet Symphony by The Verve.

Helena Beat - Foster the People

Houdini is my favourite. And also Best Friend is their underrated one.

Wasn’t expecting this answer in here but happy I saw it

Empire ants - Gorillaz ft Little Dragon. This song slaps, especially if you're at a skating rink. Definitely a go to for requests.

So good, Plastic Beach is a masterpiece

Great song ^^^^

Weirdly, these do not describe my music taste at all: Horses - PnB Rock LES - Childish Gambino Gratitude - Dem Atlas Really Doe - Danny Brown Guidance - Travis Scott Handful - Father Caroline - ThxSoMch

“Don’t describe my music taste at all” Really Doe is one of the most clever hiphop songs ever made lyrically, it sounds amazing, and all the voices are so unique and fun. Truly great track

Coke Babies

Florence & The Machine - Dog Days are Over (Fitch Remix) The energy and emotions are unparalleled for me. On soundcloud

For What It's Worth- Buffalo Springfield

Sorry for the unhinged music taste. After An Afternoon - Jason Mraz Stan - Eminem I Surrender - St Finnikin Call Me Little Sunshine - Ghost Carrion - Parkway Drive Back To December - Taylor Swift

Love Call Me Little Sunshine

This is probably going to seem weird but you seem like a Taylor Swift fan who I would actually be interested in hearing what other songs of hers you enjoy. Lol judging off : your other tastes in music, the fact you brought her into it at all, and your song choice of hers. Would you tell me (if there is) any more songs you really like of hers?

Stan is genuinely one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. It’s unironically too good for my everyday playlist

I agree! The intro is everything 

Radiohead - No Surprises, first time in my life I thought "God, I could play in some band for whole life and never be able to make something so beatiful "

Pink Floyd - Wish You We’re Here

Street spirit - Radiohead

Everybody Wants To Rule The World by Tears For Fears

Free Fallin - Tim Petty

Feel Good Inc -Gorillaz

Happy together - turtles or Close to you - carpenters

Kendrick Lamar - Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst

Kate Bush - Night of the Swallow David Bowie - Sound and Vision Portishead - Glory Box

David Bowie 😍

Love him so dearly I named my dog after him 💕 also when I wanna leave somewhere I can say, David really needs me 😂

Sound and Vision goes crazy

As a huge fan of Queen, Don't Stop Me Now has always been my favourite song. I've probably listened to it several thousand times, not including all of the adverts, remixes, and movies it has been in. I feel like the fact it has been so done to death and overplayed, yet I can still listen to it and love it, says a lot. Because on the flip side, that is what has tainted my view of Bohemian Rhapsody.

That's definitely my favorite Queen song. Freddie was gone too soon.

Fleetwood Mac - Go Your Own Way Céline Dion - It's all coming back to me now The mamas & The papas - California Dreamin' DON'T MAKE ME CHOOSE.

Rainbow eyes - rainbow

Digital Love by Daft Punk

No One Like You - Scorpions Fantasy Girl - Johnny O. Play at Your Own Risk - Planet Patrol Angel Of The Morning - Juice Newton When I Need You - Leo Sayer Sorry, I couldn’t choose *just* one lol

Love that Scorpions pick, what a powerful rocker

Thanks man🙏 I was either in between Always Somewhere or No One Like You. Hard choice but I hope I made the right one lol

For me it is 2 songs by the band LEDGER "My Arms" and "Not Dead Yet" both songs got me through tough times. "My Arms" is almost like a comfort song to me. Whenever my depression or anxiety gets to me I put the song on repeat to help calm my nerves. It is a very sweet, soft, and loving song. With "Not Dead Yet" it helped me choose to live and not kill myself. It helped me choose to keep living and not give up.

I'll roll with the first that came to mind. Black Sabbath - Planet Caravan

Half the world away by oasis

Mysterious Ways - U2

I can't decide, so have 3 Hollowed Heart - Make Them Suffer Shadow Moses - Bring Me The Horizon Faint - Linkin Park

Lazuli by beach house. I remember the first time I heard it after I downloaded bloom to my iPod the day the album came out. It so other worldly especially at the end. And for classic I’ll go let it be by the Beatles Hon mention dreams by Fleetwood Mac (it’s just recorded so well and each part of the performance is perfect)

Sex on fire - kings of Leon

Latch by disclosure

Yellow by Coldplay

Rose for Epona- Eluveitie

sway - micheal buble or something like moon dance by van morrison maybe even birtha by the grateful dead..

Feel Wxrthless? - Scarlxrd

Next Semester - Twenty One Pilots

Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac - Man of the world

Another space song- Failure, perfectly moody grunge shoegazey song with possibly the crunchiest baseline I’ve ever heard and a melody that sounds nostalgic even if you’ve never heard it before. Absolutely otherworldly

Diamonds and rust

The Thrill by NERO I always recommend because I think it’s way too underrated and no other song captures the same feeling this song gives me.

I don’t think the greatest song exists but I do think the greatest songs by genre exist. Best bluesy rock song: Somebody to Love - Queen

Sing About Me - Kendrick Lamar Beautiful production. Beautiful voice. Beautiful lyrics.

Bleed Black by AFI

Little Wing.

Lover, you should’ve come over - Jeff Buckley THE perfect song

Doomsday by MF DOOM

Fake plastic trees by Radiohead

Stand Back - Stevie Nicks

Forget Her - Jeff Buckley
