1) Come Undone - Duran Duran
2) Cold Hart Bitch - Jet
3) My Way - Frank Sinatra
 
Jessie's Girl - Rick Springfield
Sweet Disposition - The Temper Trap
The Riddle - Five For Fighting
 
Erotic City - Prince
That's Where It's At - Sam Cooke
Pyramids - Frank Ocean

That last one is a huge stretch but I love to hear it whenever it pops up on the iPod.
 
Pirate Looks at 40-Jimmy Buffet
Dock of the Bay-Ottis Redding
Three Little Birds-Bob Marley

Ask me again tomorrow and it could easily be a different list.

Under Pressure and Bohemian Rap City could make the list. Many Led Zepplin songs could make it as well (Fool in the Rain). Yellow Ledbetter is a great one. Wind Cries Mary is great. Im a big fan of the song "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You" by Franky Vallie for my own personal reasons. JayZ, Biggie, and 2Pac has some great songs that you could argue.

Two for Janes Says...that's kind of shocking to me.

Here is an interesting fact for you. The lead singer for counting crows had hair extentions back in the day. The dreads were fake!

Three songs, huh?

Jane Says - Jane's Addiction
Solsbury Hill - Peter Gabriel
The Man Who Sold The World - David Bowie

I'm leaving out a lot of really good songs here. My favorites probably change all the time.

I agree. I don't really have any truly favorite songs as my personal taste covers a fairly large spectrum. But ive been listening to Woodkid a lot recently. So as it stands right now it would probably be

Woodkid-Run Boy Run
Woodkid-Iron
Woodkid-I Love You

His songs Great Escape and Conquest of Spaces are also great.

If you were to say what songs have I listened to the most over the past decade or two it would probably be

Journey-Separate Ways
Faith No More-Epic
Ram Jam-Black Betty
 
Eric Clapton - No Alibis
SRV - Coldshot
Radiohead - Reckoner
John Mayer - Belief
Stones - Can't you hear me knocking
 
ceremony .... new order
eyes of the world... grateful dead w/ .........Branford marsalis
gone till November .... Wycleff jean...


Other notables. ..
pressure drop... toots and the mayals
breathe... pink floyd
behind the sun.... rhcp..
house of cards ... radio head
85 weeks... frank black
pass the mic... beastie boys...
shadowboxer... Fiona apple
#41 .... Dave Mathews band
 
Kai, that Jet song is great.

Too many to list, but I wll follow the rules. Is it against the rules to come back and post 3 more later?

Freebird- Leonard Skynyrd
Baker Street- Gerry Rafferty (I know this is a repeat from above)
Come Sail Away- Styx

Impossible to choose 3 - so I'll go with work out songs I love lately -

I Can See it in Your Eyes - Men at Work
You F*ing Did It - Jason Mraz
Mortal Combat - no idea who does this /maybe Crystal Method?


to comment on some of the above choices I really like too -

Baker Street - great vibe
He Stopped Loving Her Today - sublime portrayal of unrequited love
Round Here - Just fricken excellent / must have listened that CD 100 times when it came out.
Carry On MWS - can't be played loud enough imo.
The Earth Wind and Fire pick from above - like Gotta Get You Into My Life Better.

Now I have to go see if there is some version of Feelin' that Way by Journey since the above post makes me think there must be.
