Top 15 Favorite Songs Ever - the most diverse list you will ever see*under construction*Dec 30 '02 (Updated Sep 20 '05) Write an essay on this topic.The Bottom Line Wow, that took a LONG time to finish. Now I am by no means any kind of music connoisseur, but I do enjoy listening to good music, and believe it or not I do know a thing or two about music. Now, not enough to rule the Music world like some people but enough to get me by in the world and to enjoy what I can listen to. I'm sure there are going to be people who agree with me, people who don't agree with me, people who wonder why all the "great" songs of 2002 aren't on my list, and then there will be people who absolutely hate me and all that I love. That's all right though, because I've got my music to keep me happy. Amazed artist: Lonestar Everytime our eyes meet, This feelin' inside me, Is almost more than I can take, Baby when you touch me, I can feel how much you love me, And it just blows me away, I've never been this close to anyone or anything, I can hear your thoughts, I can see your dreams, I don't know how you do what you do, I'm so in love with you, It just keeps gettin' better, I want to spend the rest of my life, With you by my side, forever and ever, Every little thing that you do, Baby I'm amazed by you. Why do I like it: Amazed is on my 25 greatest songs list for two reasons; 1]It is an amazing song 2]The lyrics to this song always make me think about loving someone, being mesmorized by them, wanting to do everything in my power to make them happy. Brick House artist: Commodores She's a brick----house Mighty might just lettin' it all hang out She's a brick----house The lady's stacked and that's a fact, ain't holding nothing back. She's a brick----house She's the one, the only one, who's built like a amazon [pronounced am-a-ka-zawn] We're together everybody knows, and here's how the story goes. Why do I like it: I've got a question, who WOULDN'T like this brilliant song, eh? I'm sure there are a few, but I like it simply because it's got a very catchy tune, and is really fun to sing. Don't tell me you've never walked around the house singing "She's a brick, hoooooouse". Cats in the Cradle artist: Guns 'n' Roses And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon, Little boy blue and the man on the moon. "When you comin' home?" "Son, I don't know when. We'll get together then. You know we'll have a good time then." Well, my son turned ten just the other day He said, "Thanks for the ball, Dad. Come on, let's play. Could you teach me to throw?" I said, "Not today. I got a lot to do." He said, "That's okay." And he walked away and he smiled and he said, "You know, I'm gonna be like him, yeah. You know I'm gonna be like him." Why do I like it: I like Cats and the Cradle because it is a great song too listen too, with both a catchy tune and also some meaningful lyrics that remind me a lot of me and my father's relationship when I was younger. Halo artist: Soil (RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA....) I'm the man, I'm the king I'm the one thats pure insane everyday, everyway i smell of suicide bitter sins how they grow within so tell me it ain't right I AM... MOHSAN! and you're my reason for life I will stone you, stone you wrap my arms around you i will stone you, stone you my little HALO (x2) Why do I like it: This is a great song to listen to while you're running, at least it is for me, because of all the energy it releases, I want to run faster, but I don't actually get anymore tired. Adrenaline? Probably. Hannukah Song 2 artist: Adam Sandler Guess who gives and receives Loads of Chanukah toys The girls from Veruca Salt and all three Beastie Boys Lenny Kravitz is half Jewish, Courtney Love is half too Put them together What a funky bad a$$ Jew We got Harvey Keitel And flash dancer Jennifer Beals Yasmine Bleeth from Baywatch is Jewish And yes her boobs are real Why do I like it: Who can't resist Adam Sandler and his famous Happy Chanukah song, both Part I and II. These always make me laugh whenever I listen to it. I Believe I Can Fly artist: R. Kelly I used to think that I could not go on And life was nothing but an awful song But now I know the meaning of true love I'm leaning on the everlasting arms If I can see it, then I can do it If I just believe it, there's nothing to it I believe I can fly I believe I can touch the sky I think about it every night and day Spread my wings and fly away I believe I can soar I see me running through that open door I believe I can fly I believe I can fly I believe I can fly Why do I like it: When I first heard this song I thought it was by Michael Jackson, but after soon learning who the real artist was, I had fell in love with this song, and I listen to it when there's something that I can't do, but know I can do it. Kryptonite artist: Three Doors Down I took a walk around the world to ease my troubled mind I left my body laying somewhere in the sands of time I watched the world float to the dark side of the moon I feel there is nothing i can do, yeah I watched the world float to the dark side of the moon after all I knew it had to be something to do with you I really don't mind what happens now and then as long as you'll my friend at the end If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman if I'm alive and well, will you be there holding my hand I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman might kryptonite Why do I like it: I remember when 3 Doors Down were real big back in 2000, and that's when I bought their CD which had my favorite song as the first track on the CD, Kryptonite. I tell ya, I must have listened to that thing for hours and hours on end, just to that one song. That summer was also when I had met my current 3 year crush (3 years since then), and her and I would listen to it while painting this old house in a pretty bad neighborhood. Last Kiss artist: Pearl Jam Where, oh where, can my baby be? The Lord took her away from me She’s gone to heaven, so I’ve got to be good So I can see my baby when I leave this world We were out on a date in my daddy’s car We hadn’t driven very far There in the road, straight ahead A car was stalled, the engine was dead I couldn’t stop, so I swerved to the right I’ll never forget the sound that night The screamin tires, the bustin glass The painful scream that I heard last Why do I like it: I don't know why I like this song, because it talks about losing someone, and not just anyone...your baby girl. I listen to Last Kiss anyway, because I love the song and it's meaning. Lose Yourself artist: Eminem His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out He's chokin, how everybody's jokin now The clock's run out, time's up over, bloah! Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked He's so mad, but he won't give up that Is he? No He won't have it , he knows his whole back city's ropes It don't matter, he's dope He knows that, but he's broke He's so stacked that he knows When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's Back to the lab again yo This whole rap sh!t He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him Why do I like it: Truly one of the only songs that I like by Eminem, this is another track I have on my MP3 player that I listen to while running for wrestling up on the track, and like Halo, it gives me a boost of energy to run faster and harder without losing any kind of breath. Pass You By artist: Boys II Men She was like nothing I've ever known Her eyes shined like diamonds in a field of snow Man that destiny led her to me Made her feel that life was now complete Now a thousand days have passed and nights gone by You can see the glow slowly fading from her eyes Though she denies her pain and her dismay Know I said this to her anyway Why do I like it: I generally love anything by Boys II Men, but Pass You By really stood out as a great song, and so that's why I have it in my top 25. Return to Innocence artist: Enigma Don't be afraid to be weak Don't be too proud to be strong Just look into your heart my friend That will be the return to yourself The return to innocence. If you want, then start to laugh If you must, then start to cry Be yourself don't hide Just believe in destiny Why do I like it: I believe I first heard this on Man of the House starring Jonathon Taylor Thomas and Chevy Chase, and absolutely loved it. There's no real reason why I like it, except that it kind of soothes me when I'm having a bad day or girl troubles (I listen to this song often). Secret Agent Man artist: Johnny Rivers There’s a man who leads a life of danger. To everyone he meets he stays a stranger. With every move he makes another chance he takes. Odds are he won’t live to see tomorrow. Secret Agent Man Secret Agent Man They giving you a number and taken’ away your name. Beware of pretty faces that you find. A pretty face can hide an evil man. Oh, be careful what you say, Or you will give yourself away. Odds are you won’t live to see tomorrow. Why do I like it: I first heard this on Austin Powers, and ever since I heard it, I've loved it ever since. A combination of a fast catchy tune plus some funny lyrics, I'll listen to Secret Agent Man anytime just to listen to it. Space Oddity artist: David Bowie This is Ground Control to Major Tom You've really made the grade And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare "This is Major Tom to Ground Control I'm stepping through the door And I'm floating in a most peculiar way And the stars look very different today Why do I like it: I first heard THIS song on Mr. Deeds, and since then have absolutely adored it. Great song to listen to anytime you feel like it. Summer of 69' artist: Bryan Adams Summer Of '69 I got my first real six-string Bought it at the five-and-dime Played it til my fingers bled It was the summer of '69 Me and some guys from school Had a band and we tried real hard Jimmy quit and Jody got married I shoulda known we'd never get far Oh when I look back now That summer seemed to last forever And if I had the choice Ya - I'd always wanna be there Those were the best days of my life Why do I like it: I love Summer of 69 because right when I hear it, I start moving my head to the beat and snapping my fingers and humming the beat all throughout the house. The Day I Fall In Love artist: Dolly Parton and James Ingram just an ordinary day. Started out the same old way. then I looked into your eyes and knew. today would be. a first for me. The day I fall in love. On the day I fall in love. The sky will be, a perfect blue. and I'll give my heart forever more. to someone who, is just like you... The day I fall in love. People all say. love is wonderful. that bells will ring, the birds will sing, THE SKIES WILL OPEN. I wonder wheres that great big symphony, roll over beethoven. wont you play with me. Why do I like it: This is a great song, and all though hearing it a LONG time before the movie, I was reminded of the song when watching Beethoven's 2nd for the first time when it had first came out on video (long time ago). Then You Look At Me artist: Celine Dion Laugh and cry Live and die life is a treat we are trated day by day I find my way Look for the soul and the meaning Then you look at me and I then I'll see what i've been searching for I'm lost as can be then you look at me and I am not lost anymore Why do I like it: I can't remember where I heard this, but I heard it somewhere and it's stuck with me for awhile. Ice Ice Baby artist: Vanilla Ice Ice Ice Baby Ice Ice Baby All right stop Collaborate and listen Ice is back with my brand new invention Something grabs a hold of me tightly Then I flow that a harpoon daily and nightly Will it ever stop? Yo--I don't know Turn off the lights and I'll glow To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle. Why do I like it: There's no explanation for Vanilla Ice, Ice Ice Baby is a great song to listen to no matter what you're doing. We Didn't Start the Fire artist: Billy Joel We didn't start the fire It was always burning Since the world's been turning We didn't start the fire No we didn't light it But we tried to fight it Why I like it: I'm not really a big Billy Joel fan, but after hearing this song I absolutely loved it. Without Me artist: Eminem Now this looks like a job for me So everybody just follow me Cuz we need a little controversy, Cuz it feels so empty without me I said this looks like a job for me So everybody just follow me Cuz we need a little controversy, Cuz it feels so empty without me Why do I like it: Before Lose Yourself had came out, Without Me was my favorite song by Eminem, and the only one that I listened to while running/working out. But, ever since Lose Yourself, Without Me has kind of taken a backseat. We Are The Champions artist: Queen I've paid my dues Time after time I've done my sentence But committed no crime And bad mistakes I've made a few I've had my share of sand Kicked in my face But I've come through And we mean to go on and on and on and on We are the champions - my friends And we'll keep on fighting Till the end We are the champions We are the champions No time for losers 'Cause we are the champions of the World Why do I like it: There's no explanation, We Are The Champions is possibly the best song ever, and it brings back memories whenever I hear it about when I use to play soccer and winning all those championships, and hearing that song come on over the PA system just made the moment so much more involving and tear-jerking (when you score the winning goal by a bicycle kick, you get kind of emotional). When Worlds Collide artist: Powerman 5000 what is it really that is going on here, you've got the system for total control so is there anybody out there, now watch us suffer, cause we can't go what is it really that is in your head, what little life that you had just died i'm gonna be the one that's taking over, now this is what it's like when worlds collide ... are you ready to go - cause i'm ready to go - what you gonna do baby - baby are you going with me - cause i'm going with you - it's the end of all time Why do I like it: One of my friends introduced me to this song, and everytime I hear it on the radio or anywhere else I automatically turn it up and listen to it. Yellow Submarine artist: Beatles In the town where I was born Lived a man who sailed to sea And he told us of his life In the land of submarines So we sailed up to the sun Till we found the sea of green And we lived beneath the waves In our yellow submarine We all live in our yellow submarine, Yellow submarine, yellow submarine We all live in our yellow submarine, Yellow submarine, yellow submarine Why do I like it: I'm not really big on The Beatles, but Yellow Submarine is great to listen to no matter what you're feeling, it always makes me chuckle. In the Still of the Night artist: Boys II Men Do do do do Shoo doop shooby doo Shoo doop shooby doo Shoo doop shooby doo Shoo doop shooby waa In the still of the night I held you Held you tight Oh I love Love you so Promise I'll never Let you go In the still of the night In the still of the night Why do I like it: My favorite Boys II Men song, I think it is really there best song ever, but some may disagree.
