What's your all time favorite song?

Speaking of covers, there is one song that stands tall above other music ever recorded.

'Oops I did it again' as performed by Children of Bodom.

Oh baby BABAY!

hahahaha

For me, my favorite cover would probably be "Eleanor Rigby".....as covered by Godhead on the Power Tool Stigmata CD. (Not the more recent version, which is good, but not as good.)

Now, if you had chosen 'The Last Resort'...:worship:

@Bryant for the Blackfoot nods...:headbang:
'Tomcattin' is the best Southern Rock album...ever!:kickass:


Absolutely !! Blackfoot (and Brother Cane) never got the acclaim of bands like Skynyrd or the Allman's but I have met MANY metal-heads (online,) even in Europe that were into Blackfoot. Awesome band !!

Symphony X - Communion and the Oracle

This song encapsulates everything I love about music, and Sym X has it available on their Myspace site.

Close runners up are:
Angra - Never Understand
Lost Horizon - Cry of a Restless Soul
 
YES - The Gates of Delirium
Green Carnation - Light of Day, Day of Darkness
YES - The Revealing Science of God
Pain of Salvation - The Perfect Element
Anathema - Eternity (Part 1)
Anathema - One Last Goodbye
Fates Warning - The Ivory Gate of Dreams
Rush - Cygnus X1 - Book II
Genesis - Dance on a Volcano
Marillion - Neverland
Black Sabbath - Children of the Grave
Therion - Clavicula Nox
Queenryche - Queen of the Ryche

They're so good they deserve a second round:headbang: :loco: :lol: :Smokin:
 
I actually find this quite easy....
Thunder Road - Springsteen
(especially the live acoustic version, though both are outstanding)

The imagery alone is unequalled (even within the Springsteen catalogue) as is the raw emotion of the performance. Hard not to see this playing out in front of you everytime you hear it.

Blackfoot Tomcattin is one of my favorite top ten albums of all time.
