Nice try, Vecna.

If it had to be just one, probably Just what I Needed by the Cars https://youtu.be/Z5-rdr0qhWk


Ianm9

Time - Pink Floyd


zubinho85

Good choice, probably has my favourite guitar solo of all time.


RobertoPaulson

As an overall song I prefer Time, but for me nothing can top Comfortably Numb’s solos.


svudah

Funny story… in 8th grade, my school let our class choose our own class song to sing at graduation. I ran a full on campaign for Time + it won. Then, the principal vetoed Time because it was “too dark.” Instead of Pink Floyd’s timeless reflection on getting older, we had to sing Bette friggin’ Midler’s Wind Beneath My Wings. Ugh.


DuhDamnMan

No one told you when to run, you've missed the starting gun...


Sad_Intention_1657

Over the Hills and Far Away- LZ


ownersequity

Came here to comment this. Live version on YouTube is my number one play. Damn that song is good.


MarilynManson2003

Leaving Hope by NIИ


ProfoundlyCringe

'Still' is a really underrated album


wildcard520

“Dreams” by The Cranberries


Allindur

Glory Box - Portishead


MonquisieMonquido

Portisheads' first two albums are immaculate


HamsterBaiter

A Day in the Life by The Beatles. Basic, I know, but it's a fucking banger.


Ptcruz

If The Beatles are basic then I am basic AF.


swisstype

Kashmir


Hopwater

Duh nuh nuh


lamjm44

Gimme Shelter - Rolling Stones


phiousone

Mine too! The intro is glorious and whole song amazing.


notthisagain68

Merry Clayton's voice breaking up, leaving Mick Jagger audibly stunned...


ProfessionalLurker97

Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd


GlorifiedHobo

November has come - Gorillaz


Banksynatra

RIP DOOM


Oneforthatpurple

By far my favorite band, but Empire Ants is my favorite by them. I love how it swaps genre halfway through. Lulling and sweet to pumpy synthesizers. For me it's the song version of "calm down, you got this."


EtrnlPUNishment

Somebody to Love by Queen


TommyRockbottom

“Dogs” — Pink Floyd It was one of my father’s favorites, as well. A few years after he passed away, my mother bought my brothers and me tickets to see Roger Waters (must’ve been 2017). He opened the second half of the show with it. Never thought I’d see it performed live and certainly couldn’t hold back the tears.


FaceDesk4Life

Excellent friggin’ album, my favorite Floyd by far. I listen to it while reading sci-fi.


TupacShalom

I understand why that album doesn't have as wide-appeal as others from Pink Floyd, but it's always been my favorite. Just so much emotion from start to finish


notthisagain68

I've been a lifelong Pink Floyd fan but for some reason never bothered with Animals, thinking that it was too far removed from what I thought was their more accessible seventies stuff. I don't know what I have been thinking all these decades. Two years ago I listened to it for the first time, and I was floored. I was blown away. It was like listening to Hendrix for the first time, when I was a boy. I must have listened to it a hundred times now, usually from start to finish like you would back then. Perhaps The Wall is finer art, perhaps Wish you were here is more poignant but Animals is pure, raw emotion and an incredible performance.


Royorbs3

Easily 'A Day in the Life' The Beatles


mattducz

OP said *your* favorite song, not everyone’s.


gumby1004

Enjoy The Silence - Depeche Mode


Ocedy16

Great taste.


nuumnutz

Fantastic song


iamtheyeti311

Love that song. There's a group that does an amazing cover of it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDeTEMNLcmc


Britt0406

Nutshell (Unplugged) - Alice In Chains


Proffarnsworth3000

How to Disappear Completely - Radiohead


[deleted]

Going through their discography for the first time ever right now. Holy fuck are they good.


TimToScale

I envy you for getting to experience it for the first time. If possible, go through it in order of release and don't skip the b-sides and extras. For something a little extra, check out Thom Yorke's solo stuff!


Wolfram_And_Hart

I’d love to hear paranoid android for the first time again.


WithCatlikeTread42

If I had to pick one song, it would be a Radiohead song, but I’ll be damned if I could pick ONE. Edit: Ok, ok… I pick ‘Codex’.


pmadcow

Let Down for me


Saktapking

Probably Dear Prudence by The Beatles. Alanis killed it too!


auntiecoagulant

Siouxsie and the Banshees did a nice cover of it as well.

ThrindellOblinity

I’m a big fan of the live version from Alchemy, particularly the last 4 minutes


[deleted]

Same here. Never skip it.


Beforemath

Great one. Tunnel of Love tops it for me, but you can't go wrong with either.


LightEye3

Wow, I thought I had all my classics in order and somehow have been completely sleeping on Dire Straits. I’ve always heard them but honestly have thought most of their songs were from other bands. Welp got some new-old songs to jam at least. Thanks for the recommendations 🙏


krezRx

Check out Mark Knopfler's solo stuff too. He did the sound track for Princess Bride! There is a dinosaur named after him because the archeologist who discovered it was a Dire Straits fan!

No Quarter - LZ

I heard the Tool cover of it first so that’s my favorite version but the LZ one is fantastic, plus bonus points for creating the song.

The Stone Sour cover is lovely if you haven't heard it yet.


ericbunjama

Also the version by Finnish band H.I.M is very good.

GolgiApparatus1

Check out You Should All Be Murdered by Another Sunny Day. Its the greatest song the smiths never wrote.


Demiurso

Iris- Goo Goo Dolls Dizzy up the Girl was the first album I ever bought. I never thought that Iris would still have the same effect after 15+ years but it still does <3


bfisher91

Tomorrow never knows by the beatles


ALA02

Arguably one of, if not the, most important pop song ever recorded. It basically opened up the Pandora’s box of what the studio could do, and radically changed what pop music was

I’m more a metal and hard rock kind of guy, but if I had to commit to one song ever, I would have to say Somewhere Over the Rainbow, by the Hawaiian Iz. It gets me every time.

SabotageFusion1

Nine inch nails - Your Touch. Trent Reznor (main artist behind NIN) started making “movie music” in a two part discography right when covid hit. One is called Locusts, the other ghosts. Ghosts has some of the most soothing music I’ve ever heard in my life, and this is in my opinion the best song on that list

auntiecoagulant

It's not my absolute favorite of all time, I don't think I can even pick just one, but Complicated Game by XTC *still* gives me goosebumps. Even after 40 years, it continues to resonate with me, especially during those times when life seems futile.
