British Expatriate Network

I haven't posted in ages, so I thought I'd come back to see how you were all doing.
I have been away recently, helping Paintball professional Olver Lang (4 time player of the year, ranked #1 of professional Paintball players in the world) with his personal forums.
So!
I'm just curious, seeing as we all seem to have been born in the last fifty years, there has been an enormous list of good songs. So, of all these thousands of songs, what is your favourite?
Personally, mine is Queen--Bohemian Rhapsody or Green Day--Boulevard of Broken Dreams.
Both are brilliant songs, the former in my opinion being the greatest song of all time.
So, yeah. Hi.

I don't understand why people like Bohemian Rhapsody so much, I think it's the biggest load of nonsensical bollocks........

a few of my favourites

Loaded / Dignity - Deacon Blue
Halo - Texas
Trash - Suede
One to Another - Charlatans.

Whiter shade of pale.
You can't always get what you want.
Terry Reid singing Stay with me baby.
The pink floyd song about reaching for a peach.
Ian Dury, there ain't 'alf been some clever bastards.
Nina Simone, The other woman.
and more or less anything by Van the man Morrison or Ry Cooder.

Have you heard the "Boulevard of Broken Songs" remix of that song, which overlays it with Oasis' "Wonderwall", with Eminem's Aerosmith semi-cover of Dream On "Sing For The Moment", and the occasional wailing by some dude called Travis. Superb music!

I have avoided this thread until now as I have nothing to contribute. Any list I write would be only 20% of the songs I would want to include on it. I'd hate to miss any song off the list!

I think one of the top 10 would have to be Overjoyed by Stevie Wonder.
