[Dark Star]

This is a thread where you simply post your favorite songs, no qualifiers needed. Guilty pleasures, classics, any songs that have resonated you and have an irrevocable place in your heart, mind and ears.

Post as many as you want, I'll stick with 30 because anymore than that I get really concerned and critical over ranking.

It's difficult to say what my favourite song is overall, but I've been really loving "Living Together" by the Bee Gees recently. Robin Gibb's falsetto voice at 1:02 and 2:02 is so pretty.
