as it says, list it, doesnt have to be based on musical prowess, technicality, or it being of a genre you mainly listen too or any of that lark.

just the song that gets you every time, one you will have listened to loyally time and time again over the years, not some new found track you happen to be digging now, but your very favorite of all time

could be the ketchup song or the sesame street theme for all i care

could be that it reminds you of a great person/time of your life, fond memories etc - whatever the reason - dont be embarassed

try to only list one, but if you have a close battle being fought, go for it, post the contenders!!!!

not a war to see who has the most cultured fave. as i say list from the heart, you can provide reasoning if you wish to do so.

i will start the ball rolling;

"Don't You (Forget About Me)" - Simple Minds.

reasonings: reminds me of a lost era and lost friends.

Winner takes it all-ABBA

Make note: Radiohead's Karma Police should be played at my funeral.

Bloc Party - The Pioneers (M83 Remix)
One word to describe it? Glorious. One of the few songs that makes mundane moments more significant...more seemingly glorious.

Cheesy but oh so very true.

"Aqualung"--Jethro Tull

It's just perfect. Must own as a vinyl!

"Stacy's Mom" - Fountains of Wayne


... just kidding, don't kill me!

I can't answer this question without changing it in the next 5 minutes, but I think that it's gotta be either a Yo La Tengo or Radiohead song. I don't know which one though.

Orbital - Belfast

Apparantly when they were making it the machines seem to take over and this tune was born.
The most emotional electronic music - simple and beautiful.
