Favourite song  

My favorite rock song is "Soul To Squeeze" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers from the Coneheads movie soundtrack, my favorite R&B song is "King of Sorrow" by Sade, but my favorite hip-hop song is "4th Chamber" by GZA/Genius off of the Liquid Swords album featuring Ghostface Killah, Killah Priest and RZA. I have wayyyyy too many favorite songs to really get going with this though.

Don't think my stuff would appeal to too many students though...

Maybe try some good old stuff like Purple Haze, Lowrider, Cisco Kid, Papa Was a Rolling Stone, Working Class Hero, Rocky Raccoon, etc.

wow, thats a tricky one. I could list quite a few that I like. I like 80's electronic music ie: gary numan, softcell, visage but also enjoy easy listening like Enya.
So, I think if i was choosing my desert island disks....emmmm

Visage-Fade To Grey
Talk Talk-Such A Shame
Japan-Quiet Life
Enya-Caribbean Blue
Enya-Floras Secret.

i just keep thinking of more lol.

I can give you my top 3:
3. Won't Get Fooled Again - by the Who
2. Hitler Comes as Kalki - by Current 93
1. Wire - by U2

(As a side note...a close runner up would be
I Don't Live Today - by Jimi Hendrix

Wow... Yeah... favorite songs... let's just go with what's on heavy rotation for me right now because "all-time favorites" could take all day

Kill Hannah - Wrap Myself Around You and their entire For Never and Ever album
Silversun Pickups - Panic Switch
AFI - End Transmission and We've Got the Knife
Kris Allen - Let it Rain
the Glee soundtrack

Just a short list of many:

Can't Stop - Red Hot Chili Peppers

Kashmir - Led Zeppelin

Better - Guns 'n' Roses

Tom Sawyer - Rush

Breaking the Silence - Queensryche

That's only a few of the many, if I listed all of my favorites I would run out of space. Hope this is useful.

I like anything that is nice, especially songs that has nice and smooth music or those that has strong beat rhythm. A meaningful lyrics will make me like a song as well. Favourite artists includes The Beetles, Elvis Presley, Celine Dion, Sarah Brightman, Bob Dylan, Elton John, Michael Jackson etc. So I would say more towards old song, ie 60s-90s.
