Take the challenge...

Was at a party with some childhood friends and as the night progressed and the topic turned to music (as I knew it would as we just saw the Tom Keifer show), one of my buddies asked me to pick my all time favorite song. Bit of a dick move I thought since he knows how vast my cd collection is, lol. But he demanded one right there on the spot with no wiggle room. A couple minutes in I settled on Warrant's Stronger Now which surprised me as much as it did them.

 

Name your all time favorite song off the top of your head without perusing your entire music vault.

 

Virtually impossible, I know, but man up and crown a greatest of all time. No partial lists, no top 3, 5, 10 etc. and no genre specific favorites.

 

Don't over,over,over think it. One song and one song period!!

 

Good luck.

Crown of Thorns - Dying For Love

 

[utter perfection...intro/riff/verse/chorus/solo/outro....all 10/10, also the lyrics and meaning of the song is just what I like]

It's actually impossible. I could give you some favourite songs, but I've never been able to narrow it down to one. Simply impossible.

Analyzing each and every cd in your musical library to narrow it down to that one definitive song you would be required to listen to 24/7 for eternity would melt your mind. That sounds impossible, yea. And you could expect your current favorite to change over time as you are exposed to new artists, songs, genres etc but if someone called you out on the spot, what would you tell them right then and there without dodging the question entirely? After all, how many times in your life are you given a pass?

But I couldn't even decide if my favourite song was Rock, Soul, R&B, or Pop. It's that difficult. Ha!

This might be the Hardline tune I've listened to the most. I always thought it was the absolute best closing track.

Nice one! I was going to go with Ain't Talkin' Bout Love, but went with a Dokken tune.

    • Another Robert Mason post, but this time I really do feel a connection with it. I'm sure I've mentioned it before, but my name is Dustin.  Everybody calls me Dusty, so when I saw the new Warrant album (Rockaholic) featured not only one of my favourite vocalists, but also included a track called Dusty's Revenge, I couldn't believe it. I then find out that it's a concept album about a "Rockaholic" called Dusty. For obvious reasons, I love this album. Here's a couple of tracks.      
    • Harpsichord.    I thought of it and it was random, so there you go.
    • From their FB page: Alcatrazz wish to make the following announcement: Back in late 2020 the brilliant Doogie White came in to help us out with our then already booked live dates after the departure of the previous vocalist (those dates were ultimately postponed to late 2021 due to the Covid lockdowns). We all had a GREAT time...and thus, one thing led to another and before we knew it we had made two fantastic albums and toured considerably in a nearly 4 year period. Now our schedule is getting busier and busier, as is Doogie's with his very fine solo work... and with that, the inevitable clashing of dates in our respective diaries, and needless to say, the impossibility of him being able to be in two places at one time. We remain on very very good terms with Doogie and cannot thank him enough for his contributions to the band, he is very welcome on our stage anytime, as are all past Alcatrazz alumni. Current Warlord vocalist and someone already known to many Alcatrazz fans (as co-producer and also contributing songwriter for Alcatrazz's past 3 albums) Giles Lavery will be stepping up for the 2024 live dates - and with that we will be reintroducing many songs from the Alcatrazz past, including some not played in many years. Giles's first show is 22nd of March in New Orleans, lets all make him feel welcome and please lets also give a massive thank you to our dear friend Doogie White for everything he gave to this band since 2020, he is a true pro and a great person! Doogie has a video message to the fans that we will share later today as well. Jimmy, Gary, Joe, Larry.
    • Maybe it's because I've heard GnR a couple thousand times by now, but I much prefer "Fall to Pieces" by Velvet Revolver over "Sweet Child o Mine" at this point in my life.   
    • I'll have to investigate that Durbin. I'd count Striker and Mick Mars among the best metal releases as well now that I think about it. 
    • Haven't picked up Saxon yet, but as far as metal goes, I love the new Durbin album as well.
    • I wasn’t thrilled with the singles as they came out, other than “The Serpent and the King”, but I’ll be damned if they haven’t grown on me while listening to them as part of the cohesive package that is “Invincible Shield”. I broke down and picked up the Target exclusive to get the three bonus tracks, and I enjoy them too. Overall, a damn fine addition to the JP discography. Is it better than “Firepower“? I’m not there yet, but time will tell. 🤔 This one and Saxon have set the bar pretty high for metal this year. 👍
    • Agree with this. Though I think you should check out Firepower. You can get it real cheap new everywhere. It is molten. I'm also enjoying Invincible very much and 2024 new music as a whole.
    • I remember my early days on the internet joining a group on Yahoo (yeah thats how long ago it was) and the woman who created the group was trying to persaude me how great Creed was, so much so that she sent me the first two albums on CD. I had no idea what they sounded like. When I played them all I could think is that they sounded like Pearl Jam, and I fucking hate Pearl Jam. I ended up trading them for something better. I can't remember the ins and outs of it, but I somehow shared my CD collection online and she noticed straight away that the Creed CDs were not listed. She asked me why and I said I sold them as really did not like them, and got something I did like. She never spoke to me again after that
