So many to choose from, but I'll always come back to this beauty ...
Emotional magnificence- and not just for the Goldstone thing - although that’s where it takes me back to.
As one of the comments below the YouTube video says - if Lennon had written this, it would be regarded as a masterpiece.

A lesser known vocal and guitar extravaganza from Queen. Truly remarkable, but listen to it all for the great climax introduced by Brian's stabbing guitar. Thumbs Up and agreement comments welcome, but don't let me win. I can't spend another day listening to music on NSC just yet!

Some great pieces of music , but I have a personal affinity with this album, so have chosen it as the winner.

Was not expecting that! Thanks
A song that brings back memories of a holiday, feel free to explain, it may swing the vote for the winner…or not
First heard this by a pool in Mexico and every time I hear it takes me back

If there's one thing that's worse than picking a Beatles track for Stato it's picking an electronic dance music track for Icy. Could have picked any number of Ibiza anthems from trips there or other similar blokes holidays. However, I'm going to go for something very different.
We went on a family holiday to a rented villa in Spain about seven years ago late in August. Normally the weather there is fantastic but that late in the season there's always the chance of thunderstorms and we had one day confined to barracks. Having done reading, drawing and a couple of DVDs we finally put on some music. There were no kids' cds in the villa but the English couple we'd rented it off had left other cds including Daisies of the Galaxy by Eels. Ignoring the fact that it might have an odd naughty word in we popped it on and my lad, who would have been about 8 at the time chilled out and actually started grinning.
These days we have a copy in the car for our long trips to Devon. Between my son's hip hop and drill, daughter's pop, Mrs GB's tendency to like the sort of commercial shite they play on Heart and my tendency to like everything except the commercial shite they play on Heart, Daisies of the Galaxy is still an album we can all agree on. And everyone knows that The Sound of Fear is the best track on it.

The majority of my most enjoyable holidays have been with Mrs C since I retired but most of my musical memories come from much further back so I’ve gone for a song which dominated the summer holidays at the end of my 4th year at secondary - for obvious reasons - and then I spent all my professional life in education…..aaaagghhhh!!

So, so many from family holidays as I've always made tapes/CDs/Playlists for the car. Mixes of songs that each family member likes from when they were on Disney and 'Oliver' songs with Bonzos and ska mixed in, through pre-teen obsessions with One Direction and Hannah Montana spliced with classic soul and singer songwriter ballads to their pop punk tunes and our actual punk tunes. The ones that stick in the mind are, as Guinness Boy says, the ones that become favourites with everyone. One of which was this: (I edited off the first line when I first played it to them and it was followed on the tape by "The Great Elvis Costellooooo")

Coulton was wrong by the way. Joe Jackson did win a Grammy.

I had never even heard of the band let alone the song and although I have very few choices today, I liked that a lot. so you are today’s winner Guinness Boy (for some reason I can’t get the mention link to work today)
Pick a more inspirational theme for Give Me A Song than I did

Thanks Icy.
I got the notification ok so not sure what's going on.
Anyway, this thread may or may not be dying but let's give it one more go.
Give me a song that makes you close your eyes and join in
Loads to choose, from sing a long anthems to the sort of poetry that just makes you stop and lose yourself. This isn't well known but it's on my mellow Sunday / roast cooking playlist and I have to stop what I'm doing, sing and do very gentle air guitar when it comes on.
It also has a bonus sub-category of having an intro that's nothing like the song, but that's quite niche and we've already done intros.

My favourite Cat Stevens song which covers the brief for me, at nearly 19 mins long it’s not a second too long for me. Fabulous

I am struggling with the time difference and missed the last category as a result, oh well.
The song for this one.

No, my fault I was out until early afternoon yesterday so there wasn’t that much time anyway.
This one. A big favourite in the Tackle household.
