Sing, Sing a Song

From Jaquandor, I steal this. My favorite songs by these artists (I've left blanks for artists I know pretty much nothing of).

Favorite Beatles song: "Something"
Bob Dylan's site includes a bunch of streaming live stuff, including a cover of this song he did as a tribute when George Harrison died. How many songs were covered by Dylan and Sinatra?

Favorite solo song by a former Beatle: "Imagine"
I've plugged Jordis Unga's stellar cover from RockStar INXS before, but I'll do it again. Check it out.

Favorite Bob Dylan song: "Tangled Up in Blue"
Oddly enough, my least favorite Dylan song was Jaquandor's favorite.

Favorite Pixies song: ?

Favorite Prince song: "Purple Rain"
Pretty. Did Prince just write or also perform "Nothing Compares to U?" Either way, that's an amazing song.

Favorite Michael Jackson song: "Smooth Criminal"
Say what you want, but that is a killer groove.

Favorite Metallica song: "One"
Not that I know much Metallica, but this combines pretty and hard very effectively.

Favorite Public Enemy song: ?

Favorite Depeche Mode song: ?

Favorite Cure song: ?

Favorite song that most of your friends haven't heard: "Like an Angel Passing through my Room"
Originally by ABBA but as performed by Anne Sofie Van Oter.

Favorite Beastie Boys song: ?

Favorite Police song: "Synchronicity II"
One of my favorite lyrics ever. "Many miles away/There's a shadow on the door/Of acottagee on the shore/Of a dark/Scottish lake."

Favorite Sex Pistols song: ?

Favorite song from a movie: "Philadelphia"
Neil Young's so-superior-to-the-Springsteen-Oscar-winner contribution

Favorite Blondie song: ?

Favorite Genesis song: "The Lamb Dies Down on Broadway"
Never got into Genesis, but I always liked the swagger of this song.

Favorite Led Zeppelin song: "Kashmir"
I can take or leave Zeppelin normally, but for that string riff alone they deserve accolades.

Favorite INXS song: "Never Tear Us Apart" It's hard to pull off a sax solo that's not cheesy.

Favorite Weird Al song: ?

Favorite Pink Floyd song: "Comfortably Numb"

Favorite cover song: "Come Down in Time"
Sting's cover of the Elton John deep cut. Gorgeously melancholy.

Favorite dance song: ?

Favorite U2 song: "Where the Streets Have No Name"
Also my favorite song, period.

Favorite disco song: ?

Favorite The Who song: "Won't Get Fooled Again"
The greatest rock scream, intro, use of synthesizer, and fake ending in any song ever--that's a lot of best-evers for one song.

Favorite Elton John song: "Come Down in Time"
See "Favorite Cover" above.

Favorite Clash song: ?

Favorite David Bowie song: "All the Young Dudes"
For the longest time, I thought this was a Beatles song.

Favorite Nirvana song: "All Apologies"

Favorite Snoop Dogg song: ?

Favorite Ice Cube song: ?

Favorite Johnny Cash song: "The Long Black Veil"

Favorite R.E.M. song: "Nightswimming"
I love me some good piano pop.

Favorite Elvis song: "Can't Help Falling in Love with You"
It's not as good as the original, but Bono's cover off of the "Honeymoon in Vegas" soundtrack, in which he sings the song in three different octaves, is a great one.

Favorite cheesy-ass country song: ?

Favorite Billy Joel song: "And So It Goes"
Betty Buckley sings a tender and haunting cover of this song.

Favorite Bruce Springsteen song: "Brilliant Disguise"
Just brilliant songwriting.

Favorite Big Audio Dynamite song: ?

Favorite New Order song: ?

Favorite Neil Diamond song: ?

Favorite Squeeze song: "Tempted"

Favorite Smiths song: ?

Favorite Tragically Hip Song: ?

I'm adding a few bands/artists as well, because, well, I want to:

Favorite Beach Boys song: "God Only Knows"

Favorite Dave Matthews Band song" "Everyday"
The album cut is OK, but the acoustic version Matthews did for the 9/11 telethon is the beaut.

Favorite Dire Straits song: "Romeo and Juliet"

Favorite Elvis Costello song: "What's So Funny? (About Peace, Love, and Understanding)"
It pains me to say it, since it's one of the few Costello songs he didn't actually write.

Favorite Guns 'N Roses song: "Sweet Child O' Mine"
That opening riff is just so perfect.

Favorite Jimi Hendrix song: "The Wind Cries Mary"

Favorite John Mellencamp song: "Check It Out"

Favorite Living Colour song: "Love Rears Up Its Ugly Head"
If only for the title alone.

Favorite Neil Young song: "Harvest Moon"

Favorite Paul Simon song: "Hearts and Bones"

Favorite Simon & Garfunkel song: "Kathy's Song"

Favorite Queen song: "Show Must Go On"
Freddie Mercury singing about his impending death.

Favorite Radiohead song: "True Love Waits"

Favorite Sting song: "When the Angels Fall"

Favorite Tracy Chapman song: "For You"
Just Tracy and her guitar.

Favorite Van Morrison song: "Moondance"

Favorite XTC song: "Peter Pumpkinhead"
