That question is unanswerable. I could maybe do most influential song over every 2 week period since I was 12, but there is no one song I could choose. Most current is probably 3rd Planet by Modest Mouse. It's an oldie of theirs, but a goodie. I can't help but repeat it like 5 times in a row whenever it comes on the iPod. Oh, and I must always thank Christine for turning me on to Modest Mouse when we first got together 6 years ago.
This one was tough. My first reaction was to say that I couldn't possibly pick one song. My taste in music flits here and there. BUT after some reflection I remembered Fur Elise. yeah good ol' Beethoven, that crazy bastard. it's the only song I still remember by heart on the piano (I learned it when I was 10 & am now 28...oh so old) and anytime I get mad, melancholy, happy, or crazy, it always feels good/therapeutic to play because it still sounds sweet no matter what mood/tempo i play it in.
agreed, it is a hard question...a little while ago i went to an 'animal collective' show and they played some songs from their new album and i was S T U N N E D! it was really amazing to see and hear in person. i also like the way modest mouse makes me feel and 'doll is mine' by blonde redhead and 'rubies' by destroyer and 'dear catastrophe waitress' by belle and sebastian when it's played on vinyl and 'caribou' by the pixies...but that's today yo.

I've always been partial to Elton John's 'Tiny Dancer.'
And I can't believe Kerith didn't even mention 'I Want You to Want Me' by Cheap Trick!!! WHAT?!!
And I can't believe Kerith didn't say anything about listening to the Beastie Boys with me in the snow?? Ouch.
Guess Who
Dreamweaver.
And there you have it.
PS. the Live By Sarah version, of course.
