+1 to Galzria for reminding me of one of my favorite songs in the Mafia IV thread, and Voltgloss for his excellent end of day flavor.

The fact that Galzria only got 3 +1s (Me, SwitchedFromStarcraft and Voltgloss), made me suspect that many people haven't experienced the 18 minutes of joy that is "Alice's Restaraunt Massacre"

What are some other f.ds favorites songs?  I'm always on the hunt for new music to discover, and I'm hoping that I'll score a few good songs out of this thread.

Here are some of mine to get us started:

Uneasy Rider: Charlie Daniels Band
Dirty Glass: Dropkick Murphys
Piano Man: Billy Joel
Punk Rock Girl: The Dead Milkmen
Two Step: DMB
Sunny Side of the Street: Pogues
The Devil in Miss Jones:  Mike Ness
Don't Drag Me Down: Social Distortion (this is one of many by them that I love)

[Morgrim7]

Ok, here goes.
Moonlight Sonata (Beethoven)
Solfeggieto (C.P.E Bach[see signature])
Rondo a la Turka (Mozart)
Für Elise (Beethoven)
Hungarian Dance (Brahms)
Yes, I am a classical music nerd.

Oh, and Still Alive: Jonathan Coulton 

My favorite JoCo song is "The Future Soon."

[Davio]

I like most songs by Simon and Garfunkel like The Boxer and Sound of Silence.
I like the Hollies more than the Beatles with songs as Carrie Anne and Jennifer Ecles.

One of my favourite bands is Creedence Clearwater Revival with songs like Bad Moon Rising, Fortunate Son, Susie Q., Born on the Bayou, Proud Mary, Have you ever seen the rain? and Looking out my back door and many others.

I absolutely love Duane Allman's guitar playing in Jessica and Ramblin' Man.

Heart has some great songs like Crazy on you and Barracuda, they were better in the 70s than in the 80s.

Don McLean with Vincent and American Pie and John Denver with Calypso are also songs I enjoy very much.


Pretty much any song that gives you a warm "let's travel" feeling.

My listening tends to fall into three main buckets: classic rock, alternative/indie sort of things, and classical.  Stuff that straddles two of those categories, while rare, are particular favorites of mine.

A smattering of my favorite pop songs:
Song About The Moon- Paul Simon (one of his more obscure things- Paul Simon is probably my favorite pop musician overall)
The Underdog- Spoon (They're probably #2 after Paul, also I'm a sucker for horns)
Once In A Lifetime- Talking Heads
Every Day I Write The Book- Elvis Costello
One Of Us Must Know (Sooner Or Later)- Bob Dylan
Fight Test- Flaming Lips
Intervention- Arcade Fire
Come On Feel The Illinoise!- Sufjan Stevens (Illinoise is probably my favorite album of all time; I'm a big fan of how Sufjan incorporates contemporary classical influences like Steve Reich into his music)
I Am The Walrus- The Beatles (yes, more than Revolution 9 )
All I Need- Radiohead
Stuck Between Stations- The Hold Steady
Tears of A Clown- Smokey Robinson And The Miracles
Fake Empire- National

And on the classical side of things, I like most eras but tend to prefer stuff from the late 19th-early 20th century, straddling the Romantic and early Modernist period.  I also like a lot of contemporary stuff, which tends to be much easier listening than the pieces which turned people off in the 50s and 60s.

Bela Bartok- Concerto for Orchestra (This is, no exaggeration, my single favorite thing in the entire world.  More than Dominion.)
John Adams- Violin Concerto (yes, a living composer- and almost all of his stuff is fantastic)
Igor Stravinsky- Petroushka
Camille Saint-Saens- Symphony #3 "Organ"
Antonin Dvorak- Symphony #9 "New World"
Olivier Messaien- Quartet For The End Of Time
Charles Ives- The Unanswered Question
Modest Mussorgsky- Pictures At An Exhibition (with or without the Ravel orchestration: my favorite version is actually using the Ravel orchestration but also restoring the missing Promenade, which is probably way more specificity than is healthy)

...And that's just the beginning.  I'm a bit of music nerd, and still there are people who know ten times the things I do.

I finally got to see JoCo live last weekend in NYC. He did not disappoint. He played an acoustic cover of "I Crush Everything" that almost made me cry.

For our wedding, we asked our guests to submit songs they'd like to hear during the reception.  Captain_Frisk sent in this one:
