Androgynous by The Replacements. It makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up every time.

I'd find doing a top 10

pretty impossible.

I know my favorite song ever though, and it's

Dancing With The Women At The Bar by Whiskeytown

  Cursive. Almost without a doubt.

- My choice is probably very Radio 2
  
  but I'm going for Days by The Kinks. Simply a brilliant pop song.

  'I Offered it up to the Stars and the Night Sky' by Dirty Three. Really it's 'This Must be the Place (naive melody)' but I wouldn't feel as though I was getting my monies worth.

Although at the moment its Sleepwalk Capsules - ATDI.

Well that was fun.

- New Birds
  
  I listened to the live version of "New Birds" on Mad for Sadness for the first time in ages last night and thought the same thing. What a song. Possibly the most romantic lyrics ever, in typically perverse and twisted Aidan Moffatt fashion!
  
  It's that or "Temptation" by New Order (at the moment)

'Internal K-Dart'

by Pavement. That solo gives me chills every time. Or 'Love Trinity' by Life Without Buildings. Or 'The Leanover'. Or maybe 'Loretta's Scars'. Something by Pavement or Life Without Buildings, anyway. Of course.

but i'm going for Sunflower by Low

Thin Blue Flame by Josh Ritter

I like how I have a favourite song these days.

but (@ swords) At My Most Beautiful isn't a cover - it's an R.E.M. original, just very heavily influenced by the Beach Boys. Absolute tune, anyway.

Hmmm...

'Heart-Shaped Box' by Nirvana
and
'Say It Ain't So' by Weezer
i could listen to forever. So it's probably one of them.
