I couldn't possibly pick one! Depends on my mood, on who I am that day 😁

Same. I can't pick a genre or artist, much one one particular song. I have songs that are meaningful to me, songs I rock out to, songs I relax to, songs I drive to... I could never pick just one, or even just 20. Lol.

Mirror Mirror- Blind Guardian

[–] Montagge@kbin.earth 6 points 8 months ago

One - Metallica

[–] vodkasolution@feddit.it 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I can't have one: there are many, across eras and genres. The first ones coming to mind are Back In The USSR (Beatles), , Kelly watch the stars (Air), The sound of violence (SebastiAn)

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago

Air is seriously underrated, I've always loved "Universal Traveler".

[–] Nemo@midwest.social 4 points 8 months ago

"100,000 Fireflies" by The Magnetic Fields

[–] Flaky@iusearchlinux.fyi 4 points 8 months ago
[–] Trollivier@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 months ago

Just... Just one?

It kinda depends on my mood and what I've been listening to most at a given time, but I'd say the most enduring song would be:

[–] s0ckpuppet@kbin.social 4 points 8 months ago

For me this isn't a static thing and changes over time. Right now I'd say it's probably Great Pumpkin Waltz by Vince Guaraldi Trio. Vince is definitely my favorite musician. I listen to his stuff so much.

[–] SuiXi3D@kbin.social 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Probably β€˜Surrender’ by Billy Talent.

[–] BassaForte@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Billy Talent is massively underrated.

[–] DampSquid@feddit.uk 3 points 8 months ago

Miranda That Ghost Just Isn't Holy Anymore - The Mars Volta

[–] rgb3x3@beehaw.org 3 points 8 months ago

Become by Beach House

[–] LoraxEleven@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Gotta be Moonlight Sonata...

Maybe the Live 101 Proof version of Panera's "War Nerve"

Or Freebird, maybe?

Stubborn Love or Angela, by the Lumineers?

Fuck.. Depends on the day, but I'll always go back to Moonlight..

[–] friek@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'm very similar! Mine is Bach's Badinerie.

Maybe South of Heaven by Slayer.

Other days Self Aware by Qveen Herby.

But I'll always go back to Badinerie..

[–] LoraxEleven@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Wide range, there. I love it!

[–] s0ckpuppet@kbin.social 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Maybe the Live 101 Proof version of Panera’s β€œWar Nerve”

Is that off their album Vulgar Display of Panini?

[–] LoraxEleven@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Hahaaaa!! Fuck, I didn't catch that shit!! Too fuckin funny to edit.. Touche, s0x..

I've never typed Panera... Yet my dictionary has that shit over Pantera... This world has gone to shit... Fuck em all.

[–] s0ckpuppet@kbin.social 2 points 8 months ago

Lol cheers. Funny enough another person in the thread spelled it "Pantara." Not as funny though.

Cake's version of "I Will Survive"

[–] Ruben@feddit.nl 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)
[–] Resol@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

I don't have one. There's like a thousand songs that I consider to be my favorite, and I absolutely cannot name them all off the top of my head.

Nobody knows the wreck of the soul the way YOU do.

[–] brokenlcd@feddit.it 2 points 8 months ago

I'm unsure between peeping tom by jame berry and genesis by justice. They are polar opposites in terms of genre; which one i prefer really depends on my mood

[–] Bbbbbbbbbbb@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Another You (Another Way) by Against the Current

Depending on how you feel about foreign music, Til the End by ReoNa is another top song

[–] UprisingVoltage@feddit.it 2 points 8 months ago

Hey I know them, they're both great!

[–] Gold_E_Lox@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 8 months ago

currently, either 'Cut-Throat (instrumental)', or 'Spread Eagle Cross The Block' both by Death Grips

actually its 'Cant Take My Eyes Off Of You' by the The Five Satins, ive been going through a doo wop phase :)

[–] DirigibleProtein@aussie.zone 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

This week it’s Appetite by Prefab Sprout

[–] kindenough@kbin.social 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Love that track, back in the 80s I played the Steve McQueen album daily.

[–] DirigibleProtein@aussie.zone 1 points 8 months ago

Steve McQueen was the only album of theirs that I owned until a few months ago. Bought Swoon, Jordan: The Comeback, and Protest Songs. They’re ok as bland 1980s pop, but Steve McQueen is still their best album and the only one that stands out to me.

Stuck in my head is I Can Drive You Crazy by Sierra Ferrell.

[–] LopensLeftArm@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago

Tone's Grave (a.k.a. Bodenstown Churchyard)

[–] Blackout@kbin.social 1 points 8 months ago

I'm really enjoying WHALE by Yellow Ostrich right now.

"The Jetsons" Joe Martin

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago

An impossible question for me but a few are "With Cat-Like Tread, Upon Our Prey We Steal", "Off Wiv Ya Heads", and "Around the World".

[–] Moghul@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It changes a lot, but right now it's The Stormchaser by Caligula's Horse

[–] jeena@jemmy.jeena.net 1 points 8 months ago

Your comment reminds me of https://youtu.be/_UBqWuBn6_Y&t=0 by the Band HΓ€stpojken which translates to horse boy

[–] Ashtear@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

For a long time it's been Kiseki no Umi. Composed by Yoko Kanno, Maaya Sakamoto on vocals.

[–] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Lately it's Batter Up, by Brand New.
