Isn't she (Nicolette Larson) dead? I thought she died several years ago.

I love this song too: INTO THE NIGHT by BENNY MARDONES

Keep It Comin' Love by KC And The Sunshine Band is probably my favorite non-Fleetwood Mac song. I dont know how anybody can listen to that song and not be happy.

On! On! U of K

On, on, U of K, we are right for the fight today,
Hold that ball and hit that line;
Ev'ry Wildcat star will shine;
We'll fight, fight, fight, for the blue and white
As we roll to that goal, Varsity,
And we'll kick, pass and run, 'till the battle is won,
And we'll bring home the victory.

This is very appropriate since the Kentucky Derby is this Saturday.

My Old Kentucky Home

The sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home,
'Tis summer, the people are gay;
The corntop's ripe and the meadows in the bloom,
While the birds make music all the day.
The young folks roll on the little cabin floor,
All merry, all happy, and bright;
By-n-by hard times come a-knocking at the door,
Then, my old Kentucky home, good-night!
(CHORUS)
Weep no more, my lady,
Oh! Weep no more, today!
We will sing one song for my old Kentucky home,
For my old Kentucky home far away.

Wow! This thread was a blast from the past! I couldn't believe all the names that I hadn't seen on here for a long time. I was interested to see what my answers were back in 2004. Some of them still hold up (Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond) where others (Zeppelin - Achilles Last Stand) don't get as much listen anymore.

Nice thread to resurrect - pretty interesting. I find it hard to name my *favorite* or top *favorites* of all time, so I'll just list 10 that I've been digging the most for, say, the past year or two. Not quite the intention of the thread, but I'll post nevertheless...

1. Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond (still holding out the #1 spot with me for 10+ years now)

The rest are more contemporary.

2. The Bravery- An Honest Mistake
3. Louis XIV - There's A Traitor in This Room
4. The Shins - Phantom Limb
5. The Killers - Move Away
6. Scissor Sisters - Music is the Victim
7. Arcade Fire - Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)
8. Band of Horses - Is There A Ghost
9. G. Love & Special Sauce - Baby's Got Sauce
10. Franz Ferdinand - Do You Want To

I feel the same way about GET DOWN ON IT by Kool & the Gang.

Damn that is such a good choice! I remember hearing this song years ago, and I never heard it again until I was in California, December 2007. But then I started listening to 1377 3MP (which effectively died on Sunday, becoming a talk show), and they played it a few times for me...
I've got quite a few songs jesting for higher spots on my favourites list, but at the moment I'd say my absolute favourite is a toss up between "Wild West Hero" by ELO (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcSjCDxoBPY), and "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" by Pink Floyd (as noted by Brad). "(The System Of) Doctor Tarr & Professor Fether" by The Alan Parson Project (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHNxBheFAt4) is also a candidate.
Once upon a time "Magic Carpet Ride" by Steppenwolf was my favourite, and "Sultans Of Swing" by Dire Straits was second.
Other favourites include "Africa" by Toto, "Bitter Sweet Symphony" by The Verve, and "Message To My Girl" by Split Enz. I think I'd better stop there - this could go on for pages!

Love it. The Moody Blues have some GREAT songs. Others ones I love are "Tuesday Afternoon","Question","The Story In Your Eyes", and "Isn't Life Strange?"
I remember not too long ago in Chit Chat, we were all musing about them not being in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. WTF?!

They're obviously too good for that! Although if that's the case, then why were FM inducted? Conundrums, conundrums...
Damn, there's been so many posts with excellent songs! I'll choose a few of the more notable ones Ledgies have sent in, from my perspective:
"Imagine" - John Lennon (nothing short of the greatest song ever written)
("Sirius" &) "Eye In The Sky" - The Alan Parsons Project
"Bwana" - Lindsey Buckingham (more because it's such an unexpected choice, but I loved "Bwana" the moment I heard it myself! )
"Heart Of Glass" - Blondie
"I'm On Fire" - Bruce Springsteen
"Ain't No Sunshine" - Bill Withers (my second favourite song on the station Magic 1278, after "Only Love Can Break A Heart" by Gene Pitney)
"So Far Away" - Dire Straits
"Don't You Forget About Me" - Simple Minds ("Promised You A Miracle" is my favourite of theirs)
"Baby Can I Hold You" - Tracy Chapman
"Sister Golden Hair" - America
"Castles In The Air" - Don McLean (he did so many wonderful songs, but my favourite of his is "Everybody Loves Me Baby")

I love this kind of stuff, and reading what everyone else puts

1.Fleetwood Mac-Fireflies
Just wow. I can't even describe how much I love this song.
2.Brand New-Soco Amaretto Lime
The lyrics mean so much to me, love this band.
3.Fleetwood Mac-Thrown Down
Again, just wow.
4.Utada Hikaru-Simple & Clean
Ever since I first beat Kingdom Hearts 1 years ago, this song has always gave me chills.
5.The Smiths-There Is A Light That Never Goes Out
Morrissey is a legend. The Smiths are even better, and this is their best song. I first heard them in a Brand New song a few years ago, and have loved them ever since.
6.Stevie Nicks-Outside The Rain
"It's just one more link in the chain"---next tattoo
7.Playradioplay!-Even Fairy Tale Characters Would Be Jealous
Takes me back to an amazing relationship.
8.Random Thoughts-The One That Got Away
Takes me back to that same relationship.
9.Garbage-Parade
Love Garbage, and this song is an amazing take on life.
10.Chiodos-A Letter From Janelle
Again, love, love, love this band. They are legends imo. They helped shape what is modern day "screamo", and they were very groundbreaking in the beginning. Sad to see them break up after such a short time together.

Honorable mentions:
Tracy Chapman-Fast Car
Placebo-Hemoglobin
Placebo-Peeping Tom
FM-Beautiful Child
Marilyn Manson-15
