http://youtu.be/X1zFnyEe3nE (http://youtu.be/X1zFnyEe3nE)
I could have included that one in my list, but I won't. (Actually, it's the performance I worship there, not the song per se).
I won't do an actually 20 favorite songs because I don' think I could. Just 20 that are among my favorites.
1. St. James Infirmary - traditional, best known for Louis Armstrong's versions:
http://youtu.be/JGPvGkgbQ_E (http://youtu.be/JGPvGkgbQ_E)
I dunno, Rev, I find it hard to separate the song from the performer. A song is only as good as the singer, IMHO.
Billie Holiday- STRANGE FRUIT
Number 3-

^I think the OP said one a day.
1. THE STOOGES "Dirt"
http://youtu.be/ycjtuayZitA (http://youtu.be/ycjtuayZitA)

4. Bobbie Gentry- Ode to Billie Joe

I guess my point is I wouldn't be jazzed to hear anyone but Janis do "Ball and Chain," so to me, it's that particular performance I love, not the song itself. I'd be willing to listen to anyone give "St. James Infirmary" or "Strange Fruit" a spin because those are amazingly written songs.

I have to disagree. Not every one can sing a song and make it good. It can be the best song in the world-or the worst! A good singer can take a s**t song and make it classic.

I agree a good singer can take a s**t song and make it a classic, but that doesn't make it one of my favorite
songs. It makes it one of my favorite
performances (of a bad song). I'm being pedantic if you hadn't noticed. :tongueout:
I think we all agree that we are probably thinking of performances and recordings.
I can't automatically name a "favorite song" but I know my favorite bit of recorded music is "Dirt". :smile:

4. Hurt- Johnny Cash
The original by Nine Inch Nails is lame- but-!

That sounds like the movie I just reviewed: SHE DIES TOMORROW. People become convinced they will die tomorrow. The feeling spreads like a virus.
"Ain't No Sunshine" is a great choice. I might have picked it.
2. "Midnight Special"
The best prison song, at least for many years... the Credence version is OK but I prefer Leadbelly. He made it famous and recorded it many times with different arrangements and slightly different lyrics.

#1. SMOKE FROM A DISTANT FIRE- Sanford Townsend Band
Error 404 (Not Found)!!1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLZm8Avo6iQ#)
That song just.. jams! I remember singing this perfectly in Reno on stage once for karaoke.. the crowd went wild and the DJ who knew the song was thrilled!

^"Helter Skelter" was PAUL's song and he wanted it to sound rough - dirty. It was an angry disgusted RINGO at the very end after many takes who threw his drumsticks across the studio and yelled "I've got blisters on me fingers!"
9. "Baby It's You" THE SHIRELLES
http://youtu.be/8clnxViHdp8 (http://youtu.be/8clnxViHdp8)
Wiki: "Baby It's You" is a song written by Burt Bacharach (music), Luther Dixon (credited as Barney Williams),[1] and Mack David (lyrics).

4. "Rum and Coca Cola"
http://youtu.be/WiayZdPESno (http://youtu.be/WiayZdPESno)
It's a pretty song, but I'm amazed it even exists, and was a hit in 1944. The Andrews Sisters claimed not to know what the song was about. Sure.
Here's the original. It's a little more explicit and satirical.

18. U2's cover of Patti Smith's Dancing Barefoot.

13. This one, of course, Love Will Tear Us Apart. Only Joy Division could have made such a bitter song sound so happy. And of course Ian Curtis hanged himself less than two months after making this video.

Linger, by The Cranberries. How beautiful music can be! I won't even try to list the memories that are evoked by this song, sacred to my heart that it is. (But I will say her accent was so ethereally light compared to out west where my family lives.)
Love you, Dolores.

4. The Verve, Bittersweet Symphony. Just a great song. I would've loved to have plowed down a sidewalk with this much confidence, but I was too skinny in the '90s to pull it off and would've landed on my back. He also looks like a French dude I knew in twelfth grade, and HE would've been able to smash his way down a sidewalk, and probably punched a few people along the way. Violent guy for being French.

1. Bowie, Queen, Under Pressure. If this is not the greatest song ever, it can't miss by much, with two of the all-time greatest at their all-time best. The talent that came together to make this probably tilted the planet on its axis that day and made every resident of Rock and Roll Heaven jealous, jealous, jealous. The bass at the start of this song rules the universe.
Incidentally, while Freddie Mercury dominated Queen, Brian May, Queen's guitarist, recently polled ahead of Hendrix and 169 other legends of the six-string as greatest of all time according to the readers of Total Guitar magazine.

I think George Harrison was my favourite Beatle.
I've just now started really getting into his music. He snuck up on me.
But I've appreciated all of them separately at certain points in my life. George is certainly underrated as a writer and performer. Shame it's all hit after his death, as far as the appreciation of his solo-material.
I am not much a Beatles fan, but yeah I do like George's solo stuff. Hope you get plenty of enjoyment from rooting through his work.

GEORGE did have his adherents and at least a few charting singles.
All Things Must Pass is probably his album that'll be most remembered. Here's the whole album :
