Everyday... so many great artists. Chris Stapleton is terrific and he doesn't sing a bad song in my mind. Favs are Joy of My Life, Starting Over and Maggie's Song. George Strait and Alan Jackson are runner ups.

Yeah, I lean toward country...

Lean all you like. Just be careful not to fall over.

One Bad Stud. The Blasters

Couple of Favorites

My top ones are "Louie, Louie" by Kingsmen, "Take It Too the Limit" by the Eagles featuring the Live version with Randy Miesner singing, and "The Loadout" by Jackson Brown Live with David Lindley on slide guitar.

Like others have said there are SO MANY it's hard to choose, but a fave record that I love singing along to is 3 Doors Down's "The Better Life". First song that comes to mind is Kryptonite. I bet 90% of you readers have no clue about it! LOL

Answering this one is like trying to herd cats!

My three favorite songs that put me in “a place” are:

24 Hours at a Time.
Marshall Tucker Band (Where we all belong album)

Terrapin Station.
Grateful Dead

It’ll Shine When it Shines.
Ozark Mountain Daredevils

Sunday Morning Coming Down: Johnny Cash
I Want to Know What Love Is: Foreigner
Try and Love Again: Eagles
Get Together: Youngbloods
Driftwood: Moody Blues
and so many more...........

My favorite song

Beside the garden wall when stars are bright, You are in my arms. The nightingale tells his fairytale of paradise where roses grew......

Hoagie Carmichael's "STARDUST" Love it. In my youth I was a trumpet vertuoso and I played Stardust as my theme song.

This song was written/recorded by Steve Goodman in 1971 and describes a train ride from Chicago to New Orleans on the Illinois Central Railroad's “City of New Orleans” (a real train). Arlo Guthrie recorded it in 1972 and it was a hit for him appearing on the charts as high as #4. Willie Nelson recorded it in 1984 as the first song on his album of that year entitled “The City of New Orleans.” This was in honor of Goodman who died that year from leukemia at the age of 36.

Other artists have recorded it but my favorite has always been Goodman’s. Although his voice might be a little more raspy, the words are so beautiful with wonderful imagery. (“magic carpet made of steel”; “southbound odyssey,” “graveyards of the rusted automobiles”).

This video is only five and a half minutes long and includes him describing his meeting with Guthrie and other trivia about the song, at the beginning.

It’s Christmas. I like “Mary did you know”

Like everybody says, lots of them but two that always have me thinking "that's a great song" are Bob Seger's "We've Got Tonight" and Chuck Mangione doing "Bellavia".

I was going to post in the "My best songs - what are yours? " thread, but realized it was closed so I decided to start another thread like it.

What is one of your favorite songs? Any type, any genre. It must be a vocal though.

I'll have mine in a second.

Led Zeppelin "ramble on" or Pink Floyd "shine on you crazy diamond" and "comfortably numb."

I literally cannot decide between the three.
