I know this is a very broad topic. But what are your favorite American/English songs?

I tend to be a little old-fashioned. My favorites are:

1. Tony Bennett's I Left My Heart in San Francisco

2. Anything by Barry Manilow. Mandy, Somewhere down the Road, and Can't Smile Without You are a
few of my Manilow favorites.

3. Billy Joel, especially Uptown Girl and She's Always a Woman

4. Mike and the Mechanics's In the Living Years I get emotionally moved when I hear this song. The
lyrics can get pretty personal for many people.

5. Bohemian Rhapsody by Queens.

The first song I can think of is Paul Young's "Wherever I lay my hat" ...

Another one is Sting's "Moon over bourbon street" ...

Don't Stop Me Now by Queen!

I think this would qualify as an "English" song : The Last Time

Makes me want to propose to my girlfriend right now.

Just came across this thread, although not completely understand the lyrics, but really love the
song of In the Living Years, which I heard the first time, and also will listen to it repeatedly
today during work...

One of my favourites: With or Without You, by U2.
(By the way, this is neither American nor English. It's Irish! )

I also like Destiny's Child's Emotions lately.

My favourite at the moment is "My Affair" from Kirsty MacColl!
It's quite an old song though. Hope it's not chronologically inappropriate!

One last cry by Brian McKnight and Kim Jo Han.

Kim is very talented, but Brian totally massacred him.


Whitney Houston's One Moment in Time. This was a tribute song to the 1988 Summer Olympics.
