A local South African radio station recently held a Top 1000 Song Survey.

The top 5 songs were: -

5. The Eagles - Hotel California

4. Bon Jovi - Thank you for loving me

3. John Lennon - Imagine

2. Shaggy - Angel

1. Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody!!

So... I thought it would be cool to get some votes in from the h2g2 community and see what would come up tops.

Post your votes for your three favourite songs on the forum below. Include the name of the artist in your votes. As their are many people who prefer classical music, I will include any piece requested, with or without words.

As they come in and I get a chance, I will update this page to reflect your choices.

And the votes start rolling in...
