[Keijzers]

It's simply impossible to make a top 5. If you can make a top 5, you should listen to more music... no offense. I couldn't even make a top 5 out of The Mars Volta tracks, come on. That's like Sophie's choice

thanks, nice to see someone else shares my taste in music. i figured i'd get flamed for that list.

I've got news for you. I listen to A LOT of music across many genres. I have many artists I like who cut across a spectrum of musical styles and have many, many songs I consider among my favourites.

However, I do have one singer/songwriter/artist who is a clear number one, and a few songs that clearly stand the test of time as my favourites. There's nothing wrong with loving a variety of artists and songs, but having a few that qualify as absolute favourites above all others.

Artists are different than songs. An artist has a wide variety of music to choose from. If one artist has two hundred songs and one hundred fifty of them are good, and another artist has only one absolutely amazing song, I'd say artist one is better. It's like Mike Oldfield. The only album of his I like is "Tubular Bells", and the song itself is a masterpiece. It's better than any Led Zeppelin song could ever be. However, Mike's other stuff doesn't tickle my fancy as much as Zep's.

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

I've heard so many songs I cherish thoughout the years...

Anyway, my current 5 favorite songs are:
1- Yours -Kizuna-- Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Character Songs (entire cast)
2- Dear You -Hope-- Kakeru Hotarubi
3- 5. Marz- Megaherz
4- Obvlivious- Camui S. Gackt
5- Rapture- Hurt

Over my years, I have seen the bands that seemed to have the potential to stand the test of time vanish into obscurity, swallowed up by mainstream bullshit, or pop, or boybands or rap.



I can have 5 songs that I listen to more than all the rest. And, Sober in my opinion is the best Tool song, or song(period) to be released after 1990.

I can come up with a #1 song and a #1 artist (which are both different), but I'd have a hell of a time picking just 5 songs out of over 25,000.

Hell, I can come up with 5 artists and maybe 5 albums, but no way in hell can I come up with 5 songs without wanting to change it 5 minutes later.

I know what you mean.

Dies irae

Solvet saeclum en favilla
Teste davidcum sybilla

Quantus tremor est futurus
Quando judex est venturus
Cunta stricte discus surus

Dies irae
Dies illa
Solvet saeclum en favilla
Teste davidcum sybilla

Quantus tremor est futurus
Quando judex est venturus
Cuncta stricte discus surus

Fun fact. Dies Irae is also a band.
