I don't have a favourite song, if I download a new song, I listen to it a lot and it becomes my "favourite" until I download a new one and I only listen to that one...

Re: What's your favourite song?
Normally I don't listen to music (I mean that I don't put a CD on or anything) but I recently became adicted to listening (and watching) "Bistra Voda" by Regina, a band who played in Eurovision 2009 for Bosnia & Herezgovina. It's just such a beautiful song to listen to. I even picked up the phone during the finals and voted for them! It was a bit of a waste of 15p because not many people voted for them in the United Kingdom, so the United Kingdom didn't give them any points... damn!
Bosnia & Herezegovina's entry last year was also became one of my favourite songs (my favourite in Eurovision 2008 - although I didn't vote). It was called "Pokusaj" by Laka.
I recently also became adicted to listening the the BBC News countdown!
Oh, and lastly, I love the tune "Lucky Five" by Russ Cornway.
I don't have a favourite artist, but I do have favourite songs. Some songs that I really like, I don't know the name of. Most of my favourite tunes come from TV shows or I hear them on TV shows. My favourite TV theme is the Red Dwarf theme tune (all of them). My phone's ringtone is the Red Dwarf opeing theme from Red Dwarf III to Red Dwarf VIII (or IX if you count the Red Dwarf Easter special comebacks "Back to Earth").

VA747, if you like the Dead Kennedy's, you should like PIL, Public Image Limited. Johnny Lydon, AKA Johnny Rotten, was the lead singer of the Sex Pistols. Enjoy!
I like a wide variety (I can be listening to Breathe by Prodigy and New Seoul by Yael Naim the next minute - I guess I thank Apple for that one) and don't really have a favorite song. However, Third Eye Blind's first album has a lot of my favorites -- especially Motorcyle Drive By. For some reason I always think of Matchbox 20 & watching "Push" on MTV when I think of 3EB.

John Martyn passed away this year, check out anything up to the mid to late 70s for his best stuff. Solid Air and The Tumbler are my favourites, check out absolutely anything by Nick Drake too. I think you would die for Judee Sill too. Check out The Kiss on You Tube, i was in ****ing tears the first time i saw it, it killed me it was that good.

Oh and Rick, when I was working in Charlotte last month I sang Red Barchetta on the karaoke in the bar across the street, all 6min 22sec of it. It gave me chills, I wont say what it gave the rest of the audience but i got a big cheer."Ride like the wind, straining the limints of macahine and man, laughing out loud with fear and hope i got a desperate plan.At the one lane bridge i leave the giants stranded at the riverside, race back to the farm to dream with my uncle at the fire side" I was rockin and a bit drunk!

Good songs but you're off by about two decades. And if you want to get really technical, "Imagine" was done by John Lennon; not The Beatles.
BTW, is anyone getting the remastered albums from The Beatles that will be released on 09.09.09?

Seriously, I was partly in jest about the songs I listed earlier ... Daniel ... Leavin' on a Jet Plane, etc. ... I don't have any real favorites, but I really like UB40 'pop reggae' for one band ... as for NEW singers, I also like Leona Lewis very much, the new star from England.
On another genre entirely, I am a huge fan of Whitney Houston, and she is FINALLY making a comeback with a new album being released on September 1st!!!
I'm quite excited, because she has been known as 'the voice', and has set the bar so HIGH that only a few can be considered equals, such as Mariah Carey and Celine Dion.
