For me it was Voodoo Chile by Jimi Hendrix, here's a great version by SRV, the only guy other than buddy guy who could do it justice other than the great man himself:
I must admit Stevie Ray V is one of my personal favourites, and absolutely kicking myself that I couldn't afford tickets to Eric Clapton a few weeks ago - 461 Ocean Boulevard is still one of my favourite albums.
But for some reason, and I'm sure some of you will think I am a sad case, my all time personal favourite song is Sorrow by David Bowie.
The orb at Glastonbury '92 i think.
Redefined music for me.
Also saw Tom Jones at the end of the weekend, out of all the bands/artists etc good ol Tom was the only one who had everyone on their feet.
as for fav song....fk there are so many.
Seein as this forum has no welcome room hey.
Also the best song ever is Cemeterey Gates by Pantera.
WELCOME Red Bull Boy to Ausralia's leading source of culture, good taste, etc. etc ,bla, bla.
We extend to you the full available range of occasion-appropriate platitudes.

hmmmmm.... thats a pretty trite list isn't it. I don't know. What is the best song ever?
Im withya Wall... more than 1/2 of ur songs are my fav ones... awesome as....
Sometimes it's still the original artist like Frank Sinatra, or sometimes its re-done by a very similar one such as Michael Buble.
Give it about 10 years and about every single song from the 30's through to the 90's will have been re-done, re-mixed, re-everything in some way or form, most likely beyond recognition, and it'll still hit the charts at number one. That's the music; moreover, entertainment industry for you!
Same with fashion. [Some of the dumbest things are back.] Like omg I just so look hot in tight stockings and a long shirt. Talk about 70s or whenever that was. lol. Hilarious as some of the things u see chicks around in. (imo that is)...
lol. Goodwinds fellas...
As long as you Asuatralian you can't go any further than Cold Chissel. It's as good as you get. As far as American goes Aerosmith is great to. They are the only country in the world as we all know.
grumplestiltskin:
I've herd from couple people Clapton was nothing special. He didn't play "Sunshine of your love" or even "Tears in heaven". He just said hello and goodbye, didn't talk to the crowd barely at all.
I went to The Eagles and John Fogerty in the past year and they were so awsome. Only complaint was Fogerty was way to loud and everyone thought so. Eagles was a much more professional concert. All music was outstanding though.
Bubs
WAY TOO LOUD!!!! am i hearing you right bubs?
come see some indy bands with uncle ian!
my ears haven,t stopped ringing since the late 70's yuk yuk yuk!
LOUD..you want LOUD
I was at my daughter's graduation last year in the Great Hall at Sydney Uni. It's a huge gothic sandstone & timber building.
leant over & said "last time I was in here was for a Billy Thorpe & Aztecs concert in 1972"...."dad, you're an idiot"
Now that was LOUD...reverberating off the sandstone walls
Vale Billy...legend
For goodness sake Cold Dribble are Australia's most overrated band ever!
If it wasn't for the lack of imagination of commercial radio in their selection of Australian content they would have disapeared into obscurity long ago
Men at Work and Cold Chissel are the two most Australian bands ever around. I like Cold Chissel much more though.
Anyone else go to Fogerty. Trust me. It was extremeily loud. Even the tour guide i know said it was loud and his herd everything and every band.
bubs
Cold Chisel
Khe Sahn:
Ganga Gang-- This is Austalia 
Anything from AC/DC
Hunters and Collectors

Yeah i agree. Chillies are awsome, If any bands these days are going to be around in the future it will be them. Great to play along with aswell. These bass is a freak though. Can't remember his name.
