If you had to choose one favorite song (just one), what would it be?

Mine is Jon Brion's "So Now Then" from the Magnolia soundtrack. I can't listen to that song without getting chills. It's the most perfect song I've heard. I know I've made all kinds of associations with it by now, but no other song has had the same effect on me.

There is absolutely no way I could choose just one.

There is only one song that I always go back to... it always seems to fit, and that's "Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac.
Classic.

Velvet Underground - Heroin
"As a matter of fact I only work with the feeling of something magical, something seemingly significant. And to keep it magical I don't want to know the story involved, I just want the hypnotic effect of it somehow seeming significant without knowing why." - Len Lye

MacGuffin

First song I heard that discovered The Smiths for me:



"How Soon Is Now?"
"Don't think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it's good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art." - Andy Warhol

mogwai "helicon 1" (not the 'ten rapid' version, download the live version)

it's just flawless yet there's no lyrics. with its soft sounding guitars it could melt any sport jock's cold heart. it's just perfect how it builds up slowly and explodes with sick distortion. and it slows down again.

Sorry I can't pick one, here are 5:

"Can't you hear me knocking" By the Rolling stones, "Tangerine" By Led Zeppelin, "The Blowers Daugher" By Damien Rice, "Helter Skelter" By the Beatles, and "Got Me Under Pressure" By ZZ Top. The last one I always hear in my head whenever I am on a film shoot.
The Beatles know Jesus Christ has returned to Earth and is in Los Angeles.
