What song have you played the most?


Not heard on the radio, but you mechanically involved with the selection. 
Poco- Rose of Cimarron

(My wife says I ruin songs.)

I can relate to having favorite albums but a single song????

Perhaps this is an expression of living in the age of streaming and/or 
a function of generational differences. 


The Song I play Joan Baez version of Stevie Wonders Song" I never thought you would leave in Summer".....I have played that song more times ,then any other song....and to thing of it his version also......
LOL “My wife says I ruin songs” yep, I have a tendency too.

Ghost Rider - Make Us Stronger
KD Lang - season of Hollow Soul
anything on Beck Sea Change album
The Hollies - The Air that I breath 
Blood sweat and tears - Spinning Wheel
Grateful Dead.  Ripple
van morrison.  Into the mystic
lately—bob weir: only a river. (Too bad about the reverb)

Great nominee @cmjones! Another one by John is "Lipstick Sunset", with a glorious guitar solo by Ry Cooder. When I saw the two perform the song live (as members of Little Village), time stood still. I had an out-of-body experience, like but not as transcendental as when I listen to J.S. Bach's Concerto for 4 Harpsichords And Orchestra. 

group wise because of the music and  sound quality - many others if not factoring in sound quality. alan parsons, csn, dire straights, dead can dance, depeche mode, eagles,fleetwood mac, elton john , carol king, pink floyd, little feat, joni mitchell, sarah mclachlan, tom petty, rem, sting, supertramp, till tuesday, neil young and i've missed many more.

Fun fact: The all-time most played song on UK radio is "Whiter Shade Of Pale", an of course fantastic song.

phillippugh,

He was asking for a single song, not a list of favorite bands.

Not sure who jay-ku is but he got me to listen to Drawn Out Like an Ache by Lorn.

Winner for most aptly named song. If I played this over and over again my wife would commit me....and I would sign off.

Pop Goes the Weasel.

 

Can’t leave out "Like A Rolling Stone". It’s easy to over-look, until one hears it again. I just did, and it still sends shivers up my spine and makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Definitely in the All-Time Top 10 songs imo.

My collection is pretty large, and so much of it I place on pretty equal footing as far as quality, so it would be almost impossible to pick out one "most played song".

I will break it up among the 3 different genres I listen to. 

Here are my best guesses:

Prog: YES - Close to the Edge, or King Crimson - Larks' Tongues in Aspic, or Banco - Io Sono Nato Libero

Jazz: Mahavishnu Orchestra - Eternity's Breath (Parts I and II), or maybe: Return to Forever - Duel of the Jester and the Tyrant (Parts I and II)

Classical: Bartok - Music for strings, percussion and celesta, or maybe: Elliott Carter- Concerto for Orchestra

Since you requested a song my best guess would be "My Sharona". When this song was released June 1979 I was 14 and it crushed me. Currently I considered it a Top 10 all time pop song of the 1970's! With albums Rare Silk New Weave(1983) might have been my first jazz album(Think Of One/Marsalis?) This album gets better with age!
