Here is a list of some of my favourite songs with Videos. :)

Everbody's Changing by Keane

This song just reminds me of a time in my life when I thought everybody's life was moving on and I was left behind, and I felt kind of sad. This song cheered me up though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7twCpOOAl08

Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol

I like the beautiful melody to this song. A real romantic song to listen to with my partner.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vSWGNqI-sI

She will Be Loved By Maroon 5

Another beautiful song. I like.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19cD7YTr_fY

Love Song By Pink

I listened to this song when my love life had been one heartbreak after another. Hoping I will finally fall in love and not be hurt.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Swnzr6D5ZTc

Hearbreaker By Pink

The heartbreaker song, you fall in love with someone, and you just hope it doesn't end in a major dissappointment. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiCPHQ8AVRA

Addicted By Kelly Clarkson

Me and my relationships again, I couldn't get out of destructive relationships. Attracted to them, maybe even addicted. :rolleyes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1PB2_vR8qw

Behind These Hazel Eyes By Kelly Clarkson

I like this song by her too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-_GzlFCUUg

Beautiful Disaster By Kelly Clarkson

This song reminds me of my boyfriend. His chart ruler is pluto which conjuncts his Venus. My partner also has his south node in the 8th house. The whole meaning of this song just fits him perfectly. Beautiful/Venus Disaster/Pluto. :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcBSCrB-0X8

Flinch By Alanis Morrisette

This song I played when I had left an abusive relationship, it was hard to relax, and I would be very anxious if he called or tried to contact me. I hated the affect he had on me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGhwXjbYJec

Through with Love By Destiny's Child

This is when I finally needed to break away from relationships and find love within myself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWs9yhdcCUU

Dublin Sky By Darren Hayes

This song is lovely. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWZCN6y8GKs

Crash And Burn By Savage Garden

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymuRnYw_k8M Another good song, to play when life is getting you down.

Better Man By Robbie Williams

I like this song as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUJyyQAJA-k

Stronger By Sugababes

This song always uplifts me and has got me through all the hard times. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcSTG4RiCHc

Too Lost In You By Sugababes

Another slushy song but it fits this Pisces Gal well.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geC7AJVdboA

Trouble By Coldplay

I like the piano on this song. It reminds me of a past relationship.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LolJmyDjRsQ

Fighter By Christina

This song helps motivate me it keeps fighting through my troubles. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rb7odxNKsbw

Thankyou By Jamelia

No matter how bad things were in the past, I become stronger because of them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JCV4CYBbkE

If I had to think of all of my favourite songs I would be here for ever listing them. As soon as you get your favourites together, you think of a load more, and so on.

Currently my favourites are The Klaxons, Razorlight and Amy Winehouse.

Here are some links to my favourite songs by these artists.

Klaxons first, if you don't know who the Klaxons are, then here's a treat for you. Ils sont delicieux! Especially the lead singer with the guy-liner:

Golden Skans - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAO1nadsrgQ

This is the new one, now check out the ancient Celt/Samurai style leather tunics...and the arm-wraps...and the swords...and the boots! Phwoar! Personally, that really does it for me!:

Not Over Yet - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjZhXXKDNnc

Does anyone know where I can get hold of one of those outfits? I'm serious! Phew!

Very bizarre and crazy video, very 80's, not quite as alluring as the other two, but interesting, and great song.

Gravity's Rainbow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYQJ9b-C3j0

Can you guess which is my favourite? ;)

Jonny Borrell and Razorlight are just simply amazing, this is my favourite one of theirs:

America - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASuI34exHlE

Other favourites:

In the Morning - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FQDiD0Q-44&mode=related&search=

Golden Touch - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UleigQMvdas&mode=related&search=

Before I Fall to Pieces - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_J4sJctPms&mode=related&search= Mmmm Jonny :rolleyes:

Somewhere Else - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3aAt22Y7QQ&mode=related&search=

I Can't Stop This Feeling I've Got - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3vLf1VpRAA

Well, I love all of Razorlights songs, but these are favourites, especially 'America'.

Amy Winehouse is the best British female recording artist for a long time, her voice is sensational, and her style most unique. This is her best one:

Back to Black - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aygAu1x2uQo

This is good too:

You Know I'm no Good - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFVM5pVTwkM&mode=related&search=

This one is a cover version of the Zutons single 'Valerie', which I thought was so brilliant I wanted to include it. She doesnt even appear to have to make much effort to sing so excellently:

Valerie - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqSKVv6YO8g&mode=related&search=

Hello Fishy! and Welcome to the Forum!

Thanks for posting and asking, Fishy. I just realized something when you asked this question....... I didn't realize that Altruism had posted two threads with nearly the same title. I had posted on the thread entitled "Your Favourite Films" :eek: I'm usually not this dizzy - really!!!:confused::eek:

Retrograde Mercury strikes again!!!! (I've really been affected by this one! - and it's only 3 days into it!)


Okay, y'all can go ahead and laugh now!:D
 
Gosh, I have tons of songs that rank in my favorites. When I try compile lists, two more songs for each one I put down pop up later on, so I may have to come back here and add some more! I listen to a variety of music, from R&B to classical to alternative rock to punk rock. And of course, love songs, not surprisingly due to my Libra stellium. :p My music taste is best represented by this smilie. :60:

I'm seeing some Pumpkins here, nice! They're my favorite band.

I was born in '89, though my mom favored rock of 60s-whatever decade it was, so I became familiar with "grunge" and 90s alternative when it was popular and have always most identified with that music, and even that movement (missed the ship and now I'm surrounded by emos :D). Though I very much like shoegaze influenced music, of even this time.

Strawberry Fields by The Beatles (http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ywg-PdeGVL0) was my favorite song as a child and still makes me cry sometimes . Cellos are my favorite instrument (automatically make me want to weep for some reason) and I just adored this song. It reminds me of all my little emotions as a child. :) They come back with this song. The lyrics always spoke to me as well. I think it might have to do with drugs, but I equated it to imagination as a child, so I like to leave it at that. :D

Something in the Way by Nirvana (http://youtube.com/watch?v=rg-yYi8saZY) is the same for me, with the cello. That song is something of a Piscean martyr anthem though. ;)

Glass and the Ghost Children by The Smashing Pumpkins (http://youtube.com/watch?v=aDKO8jxZbYs) is generally my favorite song (from Machina, their 2000 album.) It's a bass driven shoegazey tune, very heavy (in tone) and 10 minutes. It's written about Billy's religiosity... in a way. There's a lyric in this song that touched me from the moment I heard it the first time: "as she counted the spiders, as they crawled up inside her." I have no idea what Billy means by this but it's always somehow meant a lot to me. I have no clue why.


Many other albums that rank high are simply songs that remind me of my childhood in Oneonta, NY and on the road:
- Purple by Stone Temple Pilots (http://youtube.com/watch?v=8BDQ6mQzOKQ - skip to 00:40)
- Jar of Flies by Alice in Chains (http://youtube.com/watch?v=qRbLvtcMk4U)
- The Globe Sessions by Sheryl Crow (http://youtube.com/watch?v=zxkZLb89Z0Q)
- Nevermind by Nirvana (http://youtube.com/watch?v=sUUHNf0S5cA) (In Utero is my favorite but less nostalgic)
- Collective Soul's hits (http://youtube.com/watch?v=hqkPcAzS4Yg) (Before my mom was a trucker she made very little money but would always bring my sister and I to our favorite pizzeria once a month and we would always order the same thing and play the same songs in the jukebox. Two of them were Collective Soul songs so they remind me very much of happiness through hard times.)
- No Need to Argue by The Cranberries (http://youtube.com/watch?v=P4nG302UCso) (Irish, can't help it)
- Virtually all Led Zeppelin (http://youtube.com/watch?v=tTaOvzZKRxA)
- Soundgarden hits (http://youtube.com/watch?v=i89rLvjnCFg - you can see all Chris Cornell's Can/Leo cusp yumminess in this video, haha)
- Ten by Pearl Jam (http://youtube.com/watch?v=9SPMfr38fCA)
- Just Between You And Me by The Kinleys (http://youtube.com/watch?v=cycrFIo69q8) (I've been partial to country and bluegrass since I was a child, for no apparent reason, but I got my family to appreciate it)
- Pieces of You by Jewel (http://youtube.com/watch?v=YK55GYyMs8I)

Then there's newer stuff (mostly for their shoegaze value, I like a song to make me feel something):

The Smashing Pumpkins' Adore and Machina (http://youtube.com/watch?v=JluKDPtuHV0) are my favorite of their's. All of their albums rank higher than most other albums though. Zwan's (http://youtube.com/watch?v=HT2dAIoTHgg) album is great too.

Billy Corgan's The Future Embrace (http://youtube.com/watch?v=JnUnhCHE0Iw) is amazing, he said he wanted to make music where a song would remind someone of a color, as if the song was literally painting a picture and that's exactly what he came up with.

Sean Lennon - Would I Be The One (http://youtube.com/watch?v=8qxdOTLskCs) (the harmonies in this song are heartbreaking)

Both Silversun Pickups (http://youtube.com/watch?v=2YiUXl0TwR8 - looove this video!) albums are the perfect music to me - perfectly alternative and organized but also perfectly shoegaze and ecclectic. It speaks Merc in Pis to me. :)

I'm discovering Poe's album Hello (http://youtube.com/watch?v=zcISzPXaiAc) right now. I've liked the song Trigger Happy Jack (Drive By A Go-Go) (http://youtube.com/watch?v=96r732oF1yM) for ages, since my sister put it on a mixed tape for me and I played the thing to death (also where I first heard Bjork and Ani DiFranco) and now I'm finding the rest of the album to be just as great. I especially love the song Hello. Her voice is so clear.

I love the band Mira (http://mira.nu/mp3/mira_Cayman.mp3). They've very much underground but on a great label, Projekt, which is home to many bands I appreciate.

Coldplay's A Rush of Blood to the Head and Parachutes (http://youtube.com/watch?v=fwGHQ6WyQFU) are shoegazey in their way. Another Piscean lead band.

I also just plain old love Hole (http://youtube.com/watch?v=UeLXwFRKK_Y).

EDIT: I can't believe I forgot such a big favorite of mine! Melissa Auf der Maur's band Auf der Maur. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=m2lSa8Bnx_M) Pisces, photographer, musician in 3 of my favorite bands: my HERO! ;);)

Shannon,

I'm seeing some Pumpkins here, nice! They're my favorite band.
I had to learn to like the Pumpkins - both my daughters are huge fans - and they are six years apart- so I had lots of "Pumpkin years"! :D No, actually, I have indeed learned to appreciate Billy Corgan -he's really deep.

My youngest plays guitar and sings with various bands. She played a local rock festival a few weeks ago. One of the songs she did was "Bullet With Butterfly Wings" - and announced that it was a dedication for her mother. (I was sitting in the stands cheering.) After the fact, I thought, "That's got to have sounded like a rather bizarre dedication for your mother". But, Oh well! I was thrilled to hear her do it! "Today" has been one of the staples in her repertoire for a couple years now, as well.


And you reminded me of some of my other favorites that should have made my list:

-Where the River Flows - Collective Soul (saw 'em at the House of Blues with my youngest daughter - they were fabulous)

and that reminded me of another one of my favourite songs-
-When the Levee Breaks - Led Zeppelin

and

-Just Between You and Me - April Wine (predates the Kinleys by a couple of decades)
