Million Dead - To Whom It May Concern
Aesop Rock - Daylight
Giraffes? Giraffes! - TOMHANKS'S'ES(EM)ANTICS'ES'S

This list isn't very good.
Now I'd say:
In The River by A Hawk and a Hacksaw
Which Will by Nick Drake
Jezebel by Iron & Wine

Mine would be:
Dire Straits - Tunnel of Love (my all time favorite song)
Simon & Garfunkel - Wednesday Morning 3am
Iron Maiden - Phantom of the Opera (Original with Di'anno on vocals not the live version)

Great having a person who isn't afraid to pronounce their love for the Straits :D

these are by no means my three favorte songs, just well one's everyone should love.

Invalid Letter Dept.-At The Drive-In
Vito's Ordination Song-Sufjan Stevens
Baby Britain-Eliot Smith

I spent too many years in the denial closet! but it doesn't get much better than Dire Straits:p:

3 only?..jeez...so hard....mmmmmmm..let me think:

- Bohemian Rhapsody (Queen)
- November Rain (Guns & Roses)
- Smoke on the water (Deep Purple)

John Martyn - I Don't Wanna Know
The Kinks - Waterloo Sunset
The Dave Brubeck Quartet- Take Five.

Not my all time faves but impossible to dislike I think.

yeah, that was always my fav iron maiden song...they were such a different band when Di' anno was on vocals, ****inson is a better singer, but paul made them sound so raw...too bad he never had any luck with his solo career...

Can't say much for his other two but Imitosis by Andrew Bird was a good pick

****inson is definatly the better singer but he can't convey Di'anno's raw power as you hear when he sings any of the early Maiden stuff live his voice just does not suite the songs

Ooh man, that list ain't looking good :\ If you're gonna pick universally loved classic rock songs, make sure they're universally loved first.

My new list:
Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley
Rhapsody in Blue by George Gershwin
1979 - Smashing Pumpkins

Replaced Canon because it is pretty boring :o:

Mozart's Requiem
The Who - Pure And Easy
Rush - Tom Sawyer

*selected based on meaning of song*

The Clash-Charlie Don't Surf
Gorillaz-Don't Get Lost in Heaven
Stone Temple Pilots-Superman Silvergun

That is a damn good Gorillaz song!

Casey Jones By Grateful Dead
Death and All His Friends by Coldplay
Ooh La by The Kooks

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's a terrible list.

there's only two Beatles songs i enjoy and neither of them are on that list. :(

Amazing considering half the beatles back catalogue was included in the list.

What's your list?

My dear friend, nothing personal, but this thread is called " 3 songs you feel...., so there 's no general rule each of us should follow..You might not like my short list as well as I might not like yours. Do you feel so sure your songs are universally loved? Who can say that? I think that every single answer is influenced by everyone's musical tastes, so it's really hard to reach a general agreement on all the 3 songs everyone is trying to recommend.
Anyway, that's my personal opinion, nothing more..

So, good songs that any well-minded music lover has no reason disliking...okay...

1) The Who - Rain O'er Me
2) The Doors - Riders on the Storm
3) Led Zeppelin - Dazed & Confused

I know they're some cliche choices, but they ain't my favorites; just three songs everyone should enjoy.

Comus I think YOU'RE a terrible list. There. I said it.

it's okay. he's an asshole and he knows it.

Seeing as how I've seen hate expressed for all 3 songs/bands on your list, and not a lick for mine, yes, I do feel sure.

Deep Dish - Future of the Future
Danny Tenaglia - Music is the Answer
Sasha - Xpander

Jeff Buckey - Last Goodbye
The Replacements - I'll Be You
The Jesus and Mary Chain - Just Like Honey

Mine are:

YouTube - Deep purple - Child in time 1970

YouTube - The Cranberries - Zombie

YouTube - Uriah Heep---Easy Livin

I've posted here before, but what the hell...

10000 days (wings part 2) - tool
You Know my name - chris cornell
audience of one - rise against

Jason Mraz isn't classic.

It's funny you picked on that one when it's more likely to be a classic than the other two.

Tim Mcgraw - Don't take the girl
Killswitch Engage - Desperate Times
Parkway Drive - Pandora

dark on fire- turin brakes
walking with a ghost- tegan and sara
taste- lorna vallings

Common - I Have a Dream
The Retrosic - Antichrist
Nickelback - How You Remind Me

Nutshell (Unplugged) - Alice in Chains
Still Don't Give a **** - Eminem
Call of Ktulu/Orion - Metallica

The first is too good to pass by, or I think so. His vocals are amazing as hell and I think everyone should at least appreciate it. The second is one of the few rap songs I can tolerate. The beat is very nice and his flow is unprecedented. It's humorous and serious at the same time as are most of Eminem's songs. The last two, which I feel are tied, display how good an instrumental, done by a metal band can be. Call of Ktulu makes you feel like you're in a horror film and mirrors some feel that H.P. Lovecraft's novel, The Call of Cthulu, emanates. Orion is just pure beauty. The bass interlude can jerk tears and makes your mind wander towards things like the universe or anything else. It also has one of the most badass bass solos I have ever heard. In fact, most people mistake it for a guitar solo on their first listen through.

Pennywhistle - Augie March: Just a great, quirky, feel good song.

Reptile - The Church: Just a classic hooky riff with a nice betrayal type lyric

The Old Years - My Friend The Chocolate Cake: Yearning for home...

Hahaha, that's true.

You know why, though?

I don't really know Michael Buble, just the name.

And I don't know who LeeAnn Rhymes is, just that song.

I love Jason Mraz. So I can honestly give my opinion, you know what I mean?

The Darkness - I Believe In A Thing Called Love
The Beatles - Hey Jude
Oasis - Wonderwall

all awesome.
