I think they are trying to play a joke on me with this prompt…or since I am hosting it this round would that be me trying to play a joke on myself LOL. Picking one favorite song for me would be torture since it can change daily or even hourly LOL. Since I like to stand out in a crowd occasionally I am going to play by my own rules and share some of my favorite songs rather than just one. And I am going to do it by era…
1950’s (Let me go ahead and say that 50’s is one of my favorite era’s)
- Splish Splash
- Johnny B. Goode
- Lollipop
- Tears On My Pillow (always think of Grease when I hear this)
- Rockin’ Robin
- All I Have To Do Is Dream
- Little Darlin’
- Come Go With Me
- Heartbreak Hotel (and let’s go ahead and say every Elvis song ever to make it simple)
- Earth Angel
1960’s
- Respect
- I Heard It Through The Grapevine
- (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction
- My Girl (I remember my grandmother singing this to me so it’s a warm fuzzy feeling kind of song LOL)
- Soul Man (tell me it doesn’t make you think of Dirty Dancing or even better Patrick Swayze and I say you are lying)
- Oh, Pretty Woman
- California Girls
- Brown Eyed Girl
- A Natural Woman
- Wipe Out
- My Boyfriend’s Back
1970’s
- Hotel California
- Bohemian Rhapsody
- Free Bird
- I Will Survive
- Dream On (and pretty much every other Aerosmith song there is from here on out)
- We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions
- YMCA
- Wonderful Tonight (which btw was the theme of my senior prom)
- Margaritaville (all all things Jimmy Buffet)
1980’s
- I can’t even go there because 80’s is absolutely by far my favorite era. Prince, Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Poison, Madonna, Guns N Roses, Joan Jett & The Black Hearts, Pat Benitar, The Bangles, Cyndi Lauper, Whitney Houston, Micheal Jackson, Janet Jackson, George Michael, Def Leppard, Journey, oh my gosh I could go on and on so just know pretty much all things 80’s (minus the heavy metal) I pretty much loved.
1990’s
- Rounding out my my top 3 along with the 50’s and 80’s this is the other era I loved! So just go to this site and you can pretty much see all the songs I loved. Loved NKOTB (early 90’s), ‘N Sync, BSB, Britney and all the teeny bopper stuff LOL.
2000’s until now:
- Ms. Jackson
- Fallen
- Survivor
- Dilemma
- Hey Ya!
- Crazy In Love
- Yeah!
- Check On It
- Word of God Speak
- I Can Only Imagine
- Cry Out To Jesus
- How Great Is Our God
- Walk By Faith
- Before The Morning
- Blessing
- Beautiful, Beautiful
- Stronger (by Mandisa)
- I Will Not Be Moved
- The Real Me
- What Love Really Means
- Lead Me
- I could go on, I have really taken up to listening to contemporary christian more often than anything else, it always keeps me uplifted and encouraged. And that being said I will leave you with a video of one of my current favorite christian artists Francesca Battisteli’s Beautiful, Beautiful:

Great list! Many are on my list of favorites too. I had a hard time choosing just one!
And now you know why I couldn’t I had too hard of a time narrowing it down to this and left hundreds off LOL.
Choosing just one song would be torture! This is a great list!
And that is precisely why I didn’t 🙂 much too torturous! I love me some music!
awesome list! Those 60’s songs rock my world 🙂 x
I know every era has something I love.
Great list! The oldies bring back memories with my parents, singing and dancing after dinner to my dads favorite songs!
I know a lot of the earlier era’s I remember my grandma singing to me.
Toni~
What a great song choice. I love that one too!!!
And I love the list through the ages… we like a lot of the same songs
Thanks! That song moves me to tears everytime I hear it 🙂
now that’s a list! you really did your homework 🙂 it would be easier for me to name the songs i don’t like, ha ha. thanks for creating this 30 day thing. Martha mentioned it and i loved the idea.
LOL Lizzie, it may have been easier for me to do the ones I don’t like too 🙂 Music is fun.
I couldn’t pick a song either Toni, so I used tomorrow’s prompt to narrow my fave songs down to two. 🙂 Yay. This is so fun!
Woot! I love this kind of stuff.
I love how you did this list! If I end up doing this for me in September I see a similar type list for me 🙂 You are making me happy that I made it about my kids because of their birthday month!
Thank you for hosting a fun way for me to get back to blogging 🙂
I bet your kids love that too…well if they are old enough to understand 🙂 I love that you are doing it that way. So fun!
They will be 4 August 10th 🙂 I am trying to stay a little ahead of the game and I have been writing and setting for publishing a few posts, I have been interviewing them those posts will be the best 🙂
80’s music rocks! I too have fav’s from every decade! You have some really great lists going there!
I’m glad you had a hard time picking a song too because I also struggled. 🙂
Wow, tons of songs! I went to songs from right now and narrowed it down to 2. Glad I’m not the only one who couldn’t pick just one!
This sounds like fun… here I go with day 1!
I used Beautiful, Beautiful as the background to a video I put together for our family’s adventures in 2010. LOVE that song.

ACK! Even though I paid for the song, YouTube disabled it. Oh well – I have the original on my hard drive 🙂
Great selection over the years!
Fun but tough question. I could ramble on and on about all the songs I like. Fun to see everyone else’s responses!
What a great list! I’m with you, I can’t limit it to just one, either. thanks for leading this challenge 🙂
I also LOVE 50’s music, I get a kick out of it always playing at Chick-fil-a 🙂
I love to see what everyone loves even if I am starting this challenge late. I will catch up today I posted my favorite song by Steve Green, ck it out at http://dailydigestblogchallenge.wordpress.com/30-days-about-me-challenge-day-one/day-1-favorite-song/
“RESPECT” is one of my favorites, too! And also – “I Want It That Way”, too! Gets me every time! 🙂 🙂
