over and over and over.
Ever have a song you love so much that you never get tired of it?
I have a couple, but my all time favorite, for many reasons, is Drive by the Cars.
It's pretty common for me to listen to it 2 or 3 times a day.
-
I honestly have so many from so many genres it would take too long to list them all. A sample below. I could listen to these day in and day out:
Annabelle - Gillian Welch
West Texas Heaven - Kimmie Rhodes
Who'll Stop the Rain - CCR
The Dark - Bones of JR Jones
Needles and Pins - lots of versions
Thieves - She and Him
Beyond the Sea - Bobby Darin
Out of Time - The Rolling Stones
Water of Love - Dire Straits
Greensleeves - lots of versions
Barbed Wire Heart - The Sinners
We Had Love - Magic Dirt
Shelter - Lone Justice
And really, a bunch more on playlists/media split between the house and vehicles. I've listened to most of these over and over for years and years.

Just about anything by Shadowfax. But this is my favorite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDSGFIuwV7M&list=PLCNFJ7TeOWzb1K1R6NhVx_JVfx0jnvw6Y
Enya
Same with Nathanial Ratliffe and the Night Sweats along with Sturgrell Simpson.
Pink Floyd
Beethoven (5th Symphony and Overture Egmont), Dvorak (Slavonic Dances, 8th and 9th Symphonies), and Shostakovich (yes, even his 7th Symphony)
I'm sure there are others I can't remember.
-
Enya ; "Sail Away," "Fallen Embers, "Pilgrim."
Celtic Woman; "Amazing Grace," "The Voice," and others.
Many compositions by CUSCO.
A number of other artists, Quincy Jones, Oliver Nelson, John Barry, also come to mind for compositions that stick in my mind favorably.

Sweet Caroline - because wifey is pregnant and the baby kicks her in rhythm to the Bum Bum Bum :rofl:

No problem. I just wanted to make sure I had the right group (to check out). Notice that I have two New Age artists in my list. I thought it might have stood for C-something, U-something, S-something, Chamber Orchestra...

Doc Watson - I never heard of him until someone posted here that he died a while back. I got a CD and then a CD of instrumental stuff only. Really good to listen to. Almost blue grass, but not quite.
Roger Miller - Tomorrow Night in Baltimore is another. Marty Robbins has a number songs that are close. Rush, Smashing Pumpkins, and the list goes on. The soundtrack to the movie Singles has some good songs.
It is a hard one. I usually listen to just about any song enough that I will put it away for a while. However, there are a lot of songs that I like enough to listen some.

Badfinger- Baby Blue
Procol Harem- Whiter Shade of Pale
Journey- Stone in Love, Feeling that Way/Anytime
Duran Duran- Rio
REO Speedwagon- pretty much everything
Jimmy Buffett- Sailor Looks at 40
Styxx- pretty much anything
Metallica- Whisky in the Barrel
Chris LeDoux- This Cowboy's Hat

Mom had a cassette she would play sometimes. This is my favorite one from him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5c1k949Zn4

Roger Miller - Tomorrow Night in Baltimore is another.
I've like Roger Miller since I was about five years old, when I first heard "King of the Road" on KEX in Portland, OR.
He did a bunch of tunes that were just plain fun.

I'm guessing you are kind of like me. I kept one playlist on iTunes which was just everything I liked on random. It was upward of 2000 songs and I just kept adding to it.
