I was wondering, what's your top 10 songs ever?

[AGA]

Tomorrow Never Knows has got to be my least favourite Beatles track, followed closely by Within You, Without You (as you can see, I don't really go in for psychadelia). The song immediately before Tomorrow Never Knows (prize to people who know what that is) is probably my very favourite Beatles song.

As for my other favourite songs, I can name some songs I like, but I can't really put them in any order of preference:

Put the Money Down - The Who
The Seeker - The Who
How Many Friends - The Who
Here Comes the Sun - The Beatles
Strawberry Fields Forever - The Beatles
What I Got - Sublime
Ball and Chain/5446 - Sublime
Walkabout - Red Hot Chili Peppers

There are many more, but those are the ones that sprung to mind.

[Pet Terry]

I like so many kind of music that it is reeeeeeaaaaaaally hard to pick top 10... but I'll try.

Beastie Boys - Alive (I found Beastie Boys' collection album in the local library. I had heard only few Beastie Boys songs earlier, and this hit really hard)
Blackalicious - Deception (my friend had some Blackalicious' song. I hadn't heard about the whole artist earlier, and I found his music good and kinda original)
CKY - 96 Quite Bitter Beings (right after I heard this for the first time, I've liked this one a lot)
Don Johnson Big Band - Helsinki Cadenza (just great, probably the best Finnish rap song, even though the vocals are in English)
Iron Maiden - Infinite dreams (pure classic! My brother has been listening to IM as long as I can remember so I've been basically listening to IM as long as I can remember. The whole 7th son of a 7th son album is great!)
Iron Maiden - The trooper (another classic!)
Monkey Island main theme! (do I need to say more? )
RCHP - Otherside (the song that got me hooked to RCHP)
RCHP - Californication (just great)
The Offspring - Pretty fly (I remember hearing this for the first time... I was at school and some older students were listening to this. I liked it so much that I ordered the album and been The Offspring fan after that)

[Barcik]

Barcik, it's actually not Metallica that has made the song, it's Megadeth's Dave Mustaine who was Metallicas first guitarist. Metallica took almost all songs Dave did after he was kicked out of the band for drinking to much.

Without knowing the full story, I can easily and logically explain why this statement doesn't hold water. In "Kill 'Em All", out of the 10 songs Mustaine took part in writing only 4. Hetfield and Ulrich, who founded the band, took part in 9 and 8, respectively. According to the little booklet, Call of the Ktulu was written by Ulrich, Hetfield, Mustaine and Burton. Now, looking at history, where Ulrich and Hetfield wrote most of the stuff, I can safely presume that Mustaine's part of the job was writing the neat solos, maybe throwing some ideas, but no more. Furthermore, if there is one person behind the song it is undoubtly Cliff Burton. You see, Burton didn't take part in writing any Metallica songs, as far as I remember, except for all 4 instrumental ones. So, naturally, if anybody is the driving force behind Ktulu, it his him.

[Legge]

Cant really say which ones :p but all Naruto songs.

[Nacho]

Got to get you into my life?

Puddin'?

[A-Hed]

Barcik, that may be true but however it's not known who composed the song, for example: Dave mustaine made the song Mechanix, but on the record "Kill 'em all" Metallica plays the same song only it's called "The Four Horsemen". Also in an interview on behind the music VH-1 Dave tells all about Metallica stealing his material for their first record and how pissed off Dave was. Why couldn't it be the same about "Call of the Ktulu"? I still belive Dave was involved in it more than anybody else for some reason. On Megadeth's newest album "The World Needs a Hero" there is a song that reminds very very much of the main riff in "Call of the Ktulu".
