h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

There are so many good songs:

I totally share the love people have for Everlong, All my life, Sweet child 0'mine, In my Life, etc.

But my favourites are:

Come as You Are - Nirvana
The only one I know - The Charletons

and as we're going beyond pop/rock here:

Rhapsody in Blue - George Gershwin - one of the best songwriters ever born.

Although Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime is also a classic.

Just to be annoying I think I've got also to mention:

Kiss - Prince

Rhapsody in Blue aint a song! Midnight at the Oasis, now that's a song.

Yeah, I suppose you're right but it's still good.

Sorry just being pedantic, I've got Rhapsody on Blue in my collection, and it's a favourite of mine too. Just been listening to Farther Along by the Flying Burritto Brothers, a traditional revivalist song I think, but wonderfull, those boys were way ahead of their time, my fave for today.

You'll Never Walk Alone by Gerry and the Pacemakers.

Uselessly late, but...

"Sharky's Song (?) - Teenage Fanclub"

I think you must mean "Sparky's Dream"... good choice, although I've always had a soft spot for "Mellow Doubt"... *sigh*

The Beatles- Basically all their songs.
AC/DC- Thunderstruck (Greatest riff ever)
Jimi Hendrix- Cocaine, Purple Haze

Rigo, good call on thunderstruck

AC/DC - Riff Raff (best rock riff ever)

But what is the best rock RAFF? Can I suggest I Shot the Sheraff?

Gosh you get some riff-raff in here.

Bad Medicine - Bon Jovi
Sympathy for the Devil - Rolling Stones
Need your Love - Fleetwood Mac
Man of the World - Fleetwood Mac
Whiskey in the Jar - Thin Lizzy
Thunderstruck - AC/DC
Blaze of Glory - Jon Bon Jovi
Pinball Wizard - The Who
Fields of Gold - Sting
Labelled With love - Squeeze

I'm sure I'll be adding more

Bridge over troubled water - Simon and Garfunkle.

Yesterday - Beatles

Miss You Nights - Cliff

The Night - Cliff

To Where You Are - Josh Groban

Lyin' Eyes - Eagles

If Tomorrow Never Comes - Garth Brooks

All over the world - The Seekers

Ev'ry Breath You Take - Police

Hello Young Lovers (from the soundtrack of The King and I)

I'll Make Love To You - BoyzIIMen

A Diff'rent Corner - George Michael

Goin' Back - Dusty Springfield

Yesterday When I was Young - Dusty Springfield

Imagine - John Lennon

Abraham, Martin and John - Marvin Gaye

Take Good Care of my Bab - Bobby Vee

Help Yourself - Tom Jones

All of my life - Karen Carpenter

The Last Kiss - David Cassidy

Somewhere Down The Road - Barry Manilow

Even Now - Barry Manilow

All The Time - Barry Manilow

Weekend in New England - Barry Manilow

Bang Bang - Cher

Hmmmm, much as I hate to diss someone's else taste. You have some good records in there (although none would be in my favourite's list) but mostly I have to say in the words of John Lennon "it's all wrong, that is I think I disagree".

Has to be 'Baggy Trousers' by Madness it just makes me smile thinking about it

And Robbie Williams 'Angels'

With you Wolfie about "Baggy Trousers" makes me dance like an idiot when played in clubs their cover of "One Step Beyond" also makes me dance like a moron too.

Yes 'One Step Beyond' is excellent too Suggs is great he is on Salvage Squad now and does an advert for Norwick Union Direct 'Quote me Happy' I also like 'The House of Fun'

Baggy Trousers and One Step Beyond are both pretty cool, but if we're talking about ska then Too Much Too Young and Gangsters (both by The Specials) win every time.
