Changes by Black Sabbath or Shine on You Crazy Diamond by Floyd or Teenage Kicks by The Undertones.

Probably.

It changes pretty much day by day, but I settle on this one quite often:

Definitely the best cover of all time.

So many to choose from, but if there was one that's been listened to the most and never seems to fail... Underworld "Dirty Epic"

My 1st ever record. I was about 6.

Hotel California (and Take It Easy, and Witchy Woman), Monday Morning (and Go Your Own Way) and a couple of tracks on Broadsword And The Beast. You can tell I'm old...

One of my best mates accuses me of only buying music from the last century... Guilty as charged, but I don't care!

This is well up there ,though it changes every day. Just captures the sheer elation of when the music hits and you get absorbed by it.
Dobie Gray - Out On The Floor.

as with Kilo,
favourites come and go with the seasons, but Magazine's "A Song From Under The Floorboards" will never be outside my top 3. Enduringly brilliant.

Almost impossible to answer on any given day.
I guess this one, I never get tired of listening to it, and it's just a most beautiful song, by one of our best singer/songwriters, when she was around fourteen-fifteen.

Who Knows Where The Time Goes, by Sandy Denny.

Oooh, liking Jondoh's Floyd choice but I would take Wish You Were here from that album.
Sultans of Swing, just love the tightness of that record.
Billy Bragg, many of his but Between the Wars is the song I will have played at my funeral, makes me cry and will piss my inlaws off. 🙂

Count Zero, I remember hearing that song for the first time. I was in Sainsbury's car park and Mike Harding played it, just sat in my car absolutely spell bound.
An amazing piece of music.

@RaveyDavey I'm guessing from the username there have been a few 'dirty epic' moments in your life?

That's a tricky question but I'll go with All along the Watchtower by Hendrix.

At the moment.

Mostly Teenage Kicks - the Undertones but then Warmth of the Sun by the Beach Boys. I wouldn't want to be without either of them tbh.

The downside of this thread is being home alone and slightly drunk I've started to blast out the Pixies and atm James whilst re-ordering my cd's and hiding mrs Kilo's Ally mcbeal soundtrack cd and similar sh**e

Whiplash but just moving onto Semisonic, it's times like this when a mixing desk would be quite handy 🙂

It is that. It breaks my heart thinking how young she was when she died, and in such a stupid fashion; brain haemorrhage after falling down stairs, and not getting properly checked over. Such a waste, I always wonder what she could have gone on to create had she lived.
Actually, not quite so difficult: Sandy left a bunch of unfinished songs behind, the lovely Thea Gilmore was approached to finish them, which she did on the album Don't Stop Singing.
I can't recommend this album highly enough, Thea and her husband Nigel, who did the arrangements, did Sandy proud, I think she'd be thrilled with the results. Sadly, no YouTube available, but look for Frozen Time and Glistening Bay on Last FM.

Well just going along with the premise that it's possible to have one favourite song... I give you
Frank Zappa. Whipping Post (a cover of the Allman Brothers Band classic).
