Okay, a little late to the party today, but it is almost impossible for me to pick favorites. However, I have a few songs that just affect me whenever I hear them:
1) "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd
2) "Let the River Run" by Carly Simon (theme from Working Girl)
3) "Skyline Pidgeon" by Elton John (really, really old Elton John --I want this song played at my funeral -- it's simple but haunting)
4) "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen (I used to sing the entire middle section for fun...well, I still do occasionally...and since I am a soprano, I even do Roger Taylor's really high notes)
5) "Ordinary Day" by Duran Duran -- another haunting but lovely song
6) "Feeling Good" sung by Adam Lambert -- such an amazing song and I love standards so had to add it. Adam really does this song justice.
I think all of these songs have an emotional content that I love...and I could have chosen a few more as well. On any other day, Paul McCartney's "Live and Let Die" would have replaced one of the above. Or..........Talking Heads, the Eurythmics, U2, Rolling Stones, Beatles, Leonard Cohen, any of about 50 standards, etc.
I love so many of the songs that have already been listed -- as a musician I just love too much stuff!

- we've kept ourselves occupied for hours and had a lot of fun doing it! I love the way we've all pretty much deviated from the brief and posted whatever we like!
