I do. Well, I have three (too hard to narrow it down to one).
Mine are (in no particular order):
1. Michael Jackson - Is It Scary
2. Stevie Wonder - Living For The City
3. Prince - Adore
There are, of course, loads of songs that I absolutely love, but these three in particular have a special place in my heart and have been solid favourites of mine for many years. They have also held up to repeated listens - I never fail to have some kind of emotional response when I hear them, despite having heard each one hundreds of times.

Morrissey - Life is a Pigsty Michael Jackson - Earth Song/Beat It/Morphine Tori Amos - Professional Widow / Winter Liberian Girl, you have impeccable taste. I think my all time favourite song by anyone ever is probably.... nope, impossible, can't do it. If I had a gun to my head (stop fantasising Tony) and was forced to pick three: 1. MJ - Who Is It 2. Prince - All My Dreams 3. Guns N Roses - November Rain |

I don't have a singular all-time favourite song, there's just too many incredible songs out there you know? However I can give you it for my top favourite artists, and my two most favourite artists ever (tied) are Michael Jackson and The Beatles. For Michael Jackson I think it's Will You Be There. WYBT is hands down one of the greatest compositions of the 20th century - period. I simply cannot sing enough praises about this song, every single aspect of it is literally perfect and it has moved me so much. It also has a lot of personal meaning for me that helps elevate it beyond some of Michael's other songs for me  For The Beatles, it's A Day in the Life. What I said for WYBT can be essentially said for this. I also think this is one of the greatest compositions of the last century without a doubt. It's such an incredible song in every aspect and it's capable of evoking so many emotions and thoughts in me whenever I play it. Like WYBT, it's one of those songs that demands you stop what you're doing and pay attention because it's so incredible. Is there a more perfect end to an album? Absolutely not!  Along with many other songs by these two artists, I think if I was told I could never listen to these songs ever again I would legitimately go crazy. I think it's incredible just how much art can touch you and simply mean so much. It's the beauty of it all, isn't it? |

I love your choices mjjfan810. I can't choose one song either, at least 50 Prince songs are way up there. I will choose a few
Prince - Adore, Electric Intercourse
Madonna - Vogue, I'll Remember
MJ - TWYMMF, TDCAU, Beat It
Bowie - life on Mars, Golden Years, Sound and Vision
TTD - Holding on to you, If you let me stay
EJ - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Island Girl, Empty Garden, Last Song
GM - Careless Whisper, One More Try, Keep the Faith, Jesus to a child.
Now how the hell do I pick a winner out of those

TBH, I think if I had to pick just one song, it'd be All My Dreams by Prince. Even though MJ is my number one favourite artist, this Prince song is my all time favourite song by anyone. It's just everything to me. It's magical, whimsical, experimental, a man at the height of his creative powers and the overall meaning of the song means an awful lot to me. "No childs a failure until the blue sailboat sails him away from his dreams / Don't ever lose, don't ever lose, don't ever lose your dreams."
And to think, this song is STILL unreleased. Unbelieveable to think that such a masterpiece is still so unknown to so many people.
If you haven't heard it, check it out below. It kind of goes off on a bit of a tangent for a few minutes in the middle section, but it just makes the payoff at the end all the more satisfying. Do yourself a favour and listen to the entire 7min and 12secs and I promise you won't regret it:

Do yourself a favour and listen to the entire 7min and 12secs and I promise you won't regret it: I liked this a lot! Lot's of signature Prince on this. I'm hearing lots of songs in it. One of these days I will own every Prince bootleg that ever leaked! Well that's probably almost impossible but I can dream. Cheers for bringing this one to my attention. |
