Young Writers Society

Quick bit of background:
In the current project I'm working on in YWS, the main characters frequently play music after their Friday night underground radio broadcasts. In order to gain perspective, I want to know what you all believe are the top 5 best songs of all time! The main characters have diverse tastes and interests, just like all of you YWS'ers!

So, with that in mind, what are your top 5 favorite songs??

Jazz, classical, punk rock, alternative, it's all good! When this project is finished, I'll be needing a diverse mix of around 200 songs! I need music taste beyond my own! So go! Top 5! Right now!

Here are mine:

1) O Mio Babbino Caro (instrumental version), Giacomo Puccini
2) Sing Sing Sing, Benny Goodman
3) Alone Together, Fall Out Boy
4) One Day More, from Les Mis
5) Test Drive, John Powell, How to Train Your Dragon Film Score

This always changes, but these five will always have a special place in my heart. In no particular order.

Animal Collective-Peacebone
Violent Femmes-Blister In The Sun
Against Me!-Teenage Anarchist
Andrew Jackson Jihad-Island Song
Beach Boys-God Only Knows

Makeshift Chemistry by Crown the Empire

Fred Astaire - San Cisco
Dark of the Matinée - Franz Ferdinand
Mama Do the Hump - Rizzle Kicks

D:
YOU CAN'T MAKE ME CHOOSE JUST FIVE!
D:
So many Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance and Panic! At The Disco songs...
D:

Ok, this may not be all time but they have been my favourite for a while now so...
Let's go.

P.S The numbers don't signify how much I like them, it's just the order in which the songs came to me.

1. Bulletproof Heart by My Chemical Romance
2. Planetary (Go!) by My Chemical Romance
3. Thnks Fr Th Mmrs by Fall Out Boy
4. I'm Not Okay by My Chemical Romance
5. The Ballad of Mona Lisa by Panic! At The Disco

D:
There's so many more I could add...
You know what? Screw it. I'm adding a couple more.
But I won't number them.

Helena by My Chemical Romance
Alpha Dog by Fall Out Boy
Gospel by Panic! At The Disco


Ok, I won't add more because I don't want people shouting at me...
D:

I should probably leave now...
Please don't shout at me...
D:

Ok bye!

Okay, right now...

1) Groovejet (If This Ain't Love) - Spiller ft Sophie Ellis Bextor
2) Love Song - Sara Bareilles
3) Have A Nice Day - Stereophonics
4) Shut Up and Dance - Walk The Moon
5) Suddenly I See - KT Tunstall

No particular order here. Hopefully someone recognises the songs. *Not expecting everybody to get all of them*

Go old music! *fist pump*

Okay I'm gonna try pick one song from 5 genres. It's gonna make it a bit easier for me...

1. Rap - Ice Cube: No Vaseline
2. Rock - Queens of the Stone Age: 3's & 7's
3. House - Oliver Heldens: Gecko
4. Pop - MJ: Billie Jean
5. DnB - Subfocus: Out the Blue

To be honest, it's impossible to choose my top 5, and I feel violated not putting up my other 45 favorites that will undoubtedly change over time. But I went for diversity and did it for you OP. Now make me proud.
