I know how hard it is to choose from five songs, for me anyway, but I was curious to see what people came up with. Mine are as follows; in no particular order:

Ever fallen in love (with someone you shouldn't've) - Buzzcocks

Staralfur - Sigur Ros

Lights- Scissor Sisters

Changes - David Bowie

Games Without Frontiers - Peter Gabriel

This is a really really hard thing to do; i'm not sure if these are really my favourites and given the choice, I would have added a load more Bowie songs!

hmmmm my top 5 fav songs... it`s hard to decide!!!!
here are the one`s that I didn't get bored of yet...
1. Andain - Beautiful things
2. Andain - Here is the house
3. Inner State - Changes (the mix)
4. David Guetta - The World Is Mine
5. Roger Sanchez - Lost

Well put Pinky!!! I think I should have written "Songs you could listen to again and again!!". I must admit, I can never choose my favorite anything!

he he ...wel I can chose my fav. things but at music it`s a lil crazy coz I don't like only 1 song ...I like 100000

yeah impossible to choose :P

I used to have a small mp3 player so i had to limit my playlist to about 30 something odd songs... man it always took me forever to choose them. And then when i found another one i loved and was trying to decide which to take off...

I can give you my favorite classical piece i've ever played though (sorry about the randomness but just got into a classical mood after watching a commercial)

Intermezzo from Cavelleria Rusticana by Pietro Mascagni. Man that is an amazing piece.

Another random favorite in my pile of favorites

Our Lady Peace, Somewhere out there...
Saw them in a small concert a few years back, was the best freakin concert i've ever been to

Mysterious Days - Sarah Brightman
Come Into My World - Kylie Minogue
Don't Lie - Black Eyed Peas
Need To Feel Loved - Reflekt feat Delline Bass
Politic Amagni - Amadou & Mariam

Too difficult to choose, but off the top of my head, and without choosing one artist twice:

"Every You Every Me" by Placebo.
"Dirty Laundry" by Bitter:Sweet.
"Forgiven" by Silver.
"Time Is Running Out" by Muse.
"Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off" by Panic! at the Disco.

Yeah, really difficult.. uhm at this moment:

1. Iris- Goo Goo Dolls
2. City of blinding lights- U2
3. Killamangiro- Babyshambles
4. Don't bother- Shakira
5. Advertising space- Robbie Williams

yeah wow, this is impossible.

but if i have to choose:

faithless: insomnia
daft punk: aerodynamic
green day: welcome to paradise
angels and airwaves: a little is enough
green day: jesus of surburbia

1. When you were young - The Killers
2. Sum 41 - Pieces
3. Young Jeezy - Love it
4. Akon ft Eminem- Smack It
5. Akon ft Snoop Dogg - I wanna love u

5 of the songs that I really enjoy hearing (I've been around for a while so these have been favorites for years):

The Pretender by Jackson Browne

Jungleland by Bruce Springsteen

Unfinished Symphony by Massive Attack

Runaway Train by Soul Asylum

Catch Me I'm Falling by Pretty Poison

I agree with the idea that it is just about impossible to single out 5 songs that are the best. But for right now these 5 are songs that I still enjoy hearing over and over again...

My 5 winners:

Metallica - One (riveting)
Don McLean - Vincent (poetic)

Deep Purple - Child In Time (hypnotic)
