Hi All
All I seem to have done is moan since joining the site and ask for advice, well I'd like to find out your favourite song of all time.
Mine is Daydream Believer by the Monkees because it brings back happy memories and still makes me smile when I hear it now.

Anne, hey!!! me too!!! I was a big Monkees fan, and even had a letter published in the Monkees Monthly maagazoine!!! But other than that it has to be Without You by Nillson, as it is "our" song, from when we became engaged, many many moons ago!!!  BARBARA

Hey Anne,
I have a few favorites: Pretty Woman Roy Orbison, Uptown Girl Billy Joel, Bonnie Tyler Total Eclipse Of The Heart. I love being out in the car windows open and music loud, not too loud though, on a sunny day it's fab. Lorna x

I have lots of faves, which sometimes change. my all time fave is 'Alone again Or' by the 60s LA band Love- I love the upbeat tune, but also for its lines 'somebody said to me- you know that I could be in love with almost every one. I think that people are the greatest fun' A sentiment I try to live by. Also -a sa teacher, I love Alic Cooper's ' School's Out'

I have lots of favourite songs too but one which is really special, bringing back both happy and sad memories, is "Bridge Over Troubled Water" by Simon and Garfunkel.

Oh wow, Liz - that must have been awesome! Mark Knopfler is just THE BEST. Glad you were able to get to the concert and really, really wish I'd been with you. I'm just going to google and see if he's coming up this way!

My very favourite has to be The Beatles 'In My Life'-I love it. Classical would be Tchaikovskys Romeo and Juliet (we courted to it.) YES I'VE CHANGED, PAIN DOES THAT TO PEOPLE.

Ooo Ann - Chill Out music!!!! Have you still got it? Hope so! Only I searched for it online and couldn't find it by Ray Charles, so thinking you may have a rare classic on your hands! I've got a Dansette :) ,it's up in the loft at the moment - may have to go and find it now! Lyn - Savage Garden - fantastic lyrics and sounds! Jean - First thing we saw coming into London - Mark Knopfler poster - performance at Royal Albert Hall! (Sold Out) Never to be discouraged, I was determined Sophie and I were going to go and hang out there on Monday evening just in case any spare seats became available. Now, you will all realise exactly how much I ached because that just didn't happen - I went to sleep instead! ;) and Anne - great post! Thank You! I love music and love to listen to anything and everything so have been very happily sampling all the suggestions :)

Anne, i love this question.
I've been thinking to myself and mine are Reet Petite by Jackie Wilson and Can't Stop by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Apparently when i was little and i would go to the pub with my Dad on a sunday afternoon, all i did was dance to Reet Petite (as you do!)
hope everyone is now singing thier favourite songs to themselves
