The Beatles - Elenor Rigby
Roy Orbison - Pretty Woman (much better than Elvis version)
Heart - Barracuda
Gowan - Strange Animal
The Cranberries - Zombie or Supertramp - The Logical Song
Special mention
Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush - Don't Give Up
Jeff Wayne - War of the Worlds
The Beatles - Elenor Rigby

Ah, yes, when making those list I thought of Western music, but your 3, 4 and 5…! Thanks! I loooove Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, and Bollywood and Bangra music. Your pick is definetely something that would be in my top 100.
Anyway. Have to go now, so I’ll listen later to your selection again as well, and the top 5 of
Ragnaris too (did not have time to listen to any of those yet).

Can we pick albums instead? Songs is sooooo hard. Different thread maybe.
This might be my current top 5.
13th Floor Elevators - You're Gonna Miss Me
Donna Hathaway - Jealous Guy
Bob Dylan - Shelter From the Storm
Nina Simone - I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free
Tom Waits - Come On Up To The House
Wow these are some great songs, I have such great taste in music!

Well I’ll list as well (sorry no links as very sore hands)
What is the matter with your hands by the way?
Something temporary I hope?

I could have easily listed every song by the Traveling Wilburys as my favourites. They may have only been active four or five years, but man, they put out some great tunes in that time!

Well can't pick five sorry. Have thousands of bands I listen to, and cant choose. Most of them are Hard Rock or Metal sub genres. Which I've been told is not music on this forum.
Plus some of the Metal I enjoy besides a few here…well…

All right, this one merits a login. I've thought for years about doing a musical March Madness but would have to generate my own Youtube clips for a fair portion of them. Since I have no idea how that all works, the project never got off the ground. Anyhoo…
"No Answer" by Curtain Society
"Forever" by blueScreen
"Stir About the Stars" by Love Spirals Downwards
"The Colour Hurts" by Curve
"Sixfouronezero" by Makaras Pen
So many more great tunes that should have been included… I probably should make a separate list for the 80s stuff.

It all depends how old I am at the time. When I was 7 there were no better bands than Abba and Kiss. Also, the K-Tel albums Out of Site and Kukie Country.
With that in mind
You're a brave man for admitting you like Nickleback @Couchpotato

I always point out to those people a few simple facts.
- Nickelback have sold over 50 million records worldwide since they formed in Alberta, Canada, in 1995.
- They’ve played to over eight million fee-paying ticket holders on their international tours – including a sold-out 10-date arena tour of the UK last year.
- Their breakthrough song, How You Remind Me, was the best-selling rock song of the decade in the US.
- They’ve had five number one studio albums in Canada – three more than fellow Canadians Neil Young and Joni Mitchell combined.

Seeing "BlueScreen - Forever" gives me bad dreams! The music is nice, though. There's something familiar about the singer's voice but, when I try to Google up the band, I just get a bunch of Windows crash screen references!
I've been listening to it for decades and only have a few theories about what the lyrics are.

Elisabeth Frazer (Cocteau Twins) don´t sing in any real language a practice that usually just sounds silly and contrived but which I think works in their music

I'll be interested in looking more into them all, though. As zloth stated, some are a more difficult to find on Google than others.

1. Blackmore's Night - Shadow of the Moon
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_pzbTGmKLc
I don't know why I like this song so much - I see in it a Hymn to Escapism, and Escapism saved my sanity over the last decades.
2. Haggard - Eppur Si Muove (and yet it moves)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cE4YRnjrM1Q
The greater Truth will prevail - even if it takes centuries, and even if it is far to late.
3. Blind Guardian - Born in a Mourning Hall
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrFZlhXVoJ0
Everything is shit.
4. Die apokalyptischen Reiter - Barmherzigkeit (charity/mercy ?)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Snltw9P76r0
Everything could be better - but that will never happen.
5. Subway to Sally - Wenn Engel hassen (When Angels hate)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32cUl-IVzz8
You will suffer ! YOU WILL ALL SUFFER !!!
Wow, my all time top five is really sick…
