Favourite songs, what do you listen to over and over again and never tire of?

anything floyd, the cure, depeche mode the police etc gets worn out at home and never gets old but here's a few random ones I also never get tired of:

Hole - Malibu
Talking heads - once in a lifetime
duran duran - new moon on monday
PHD - I wont let you down
Black - wonderful life
level 42 - something about you
mazzy star - fade into you
bronski beat - smalltown boy
Style council - shout to the top
Al Stewart - Year Of The Cat
Joe jackson - stepping out
joy division - love will tear us apart

and something more jolly -

Fat Larry's Band - Zoom

Some of you lot are showing your age ;p

Coldplay and Oasis would be my 2 faves, although I'd say the one song that I never tire off is Snow Patrol - chasing cars

I have many but the two things I have listened too most are Hergest Ridge and Ommadawn by Mike Oldfield. Those two pieces are therapy, peace and, in a way, a drug to me.

Stairway to heaven

Some great music on here and eclectic tastes. Most seem to like many genres of music which is what I expected.
Although I only mentioned 2 in my original post I never meant people should be limited to 2, so it’s nice to see people list a few.

Mariya Takeuchi - Plastic Love
Aphex Twin - "Z-Twig"
Aphex Twin - "Rhubarb"
New Order - Bizarre Love Triangle
Led Zeppelin - Achilles Last Stand

I like the sentiment and Tracie Thorn's voice is at its languid best.

Great call. “Old Friends” is also worth a mention.

I’ve only started listening to Art of Noise this year. Love their take on the Robinson Crusoe tv series theme.

Only covers I know but I like listening to Toni and Reina.

I turned Jools Holland on last Friday just as this song came on, and I was pleased to see they uploaded this specific performance to YouTube on Monday. It’s from 2012, I’ve never heard of the guy before, but I think it’s remarkable and I’m very glad I turned over when I did.

Love this version by Kimiko Kasai

https://youtu.be/_bVAr4GA19g

I'm a creature of habit.

Most days, I listen to a Miles Davis & a Robert Johnson track, just whatever plays randomly when I open the folder. (I've probably done that for more than 15 years!)

The song that I've listened to most often that isn't RJ or MD? That'll be Jackson Browne's 'These Days'. He wrote it when he was 16, the talentless so-&-so. First recorded by Nico, it's a song that's been covered over 50 times. Gregg Allman & Glen Campbell are among the best versions, IMO.

Here's a list of versions for anyone who wants to investigate -

COVERS OF 'THESE DAYS'

Stranglehold by Ted Nugent

Wu tang clan - gravel pit
Macklemore - thrift shop
Mark ronson/miley cyrus - nothing breaks like a heart
Blonde - Union city blue
Missy elliot - pass the Dutch
Goldfrapp - ooh la la
Arcade fire - everything now
Jazzy jeff and the fresh Prince - boom shake the room
Abba - Waterloo/dancing queen
The cranberries - dreams
Chemical brothers - hey boy hey girl
Fatboy slim - right here right now
Happy mondays - step on

Similar too Jeremy, and I've seen Ommadawn
performed live, which was amazing. Sally Oldfield was sat next to me too.

The Libera Me from Verdi's Requiem

Surf's Up by the Beach Boys, though tribute band the Fendertones more than do it justice.

Pivotal sound from the '70s

Radiohead Weird Fishes/Arpeggi (Scotch Mist)

https://youtu.be/FcANFVcJeOM

I would happily have this played at my funeral.

I don't know what planet Radiohead are from, but I'm glad they are visiting.
I listen to this at least once a week

Sade, Diamond life .

tool - lateralus , due to the complexity - the whole composition is based on the Fibonacci sequence.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7JG63IuaWs

David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust
Jackson Browne - The Load Out / Stay
Humble Pie - Honky Tonk Woman (You'll never listen to the Stones' version after this)

How could anyone enjoy listening to that over and over and never tire of it - I got bored waiting for it to start!

M

So many!! Where to start?!!

Will start with these.

Will start with these.

Willow , by Joan Armatrading.

No Woman No Cry, by Bob Marley ( I prefer the live version to the Album version).


Love Will Tear Us Apart, by Joy Division..

Steeldrivers - Bad for you.

Unfortunately as I’ve got older so my inner ‘Smashy and Nicey’ have somewhat taken over my fav top pop picks:
Radar Love: Golden Ear Ring
Thunderstruck AC/DC

Any link between your username and the band?

Love Zero 7 by the way.

I think Nick Chicane lives near Morzine in the French Alps, or used to.
Maybe chicaneuk is the UK liaison :) :) :)

My musical tastes are firmly rooted in the 70s to 90s, but at the minute.
