Pick ONE song from anytime that you think the rest of the foot.ie people should hear, preferably something not too mainstream so that they haven't heard it already...

[TonyD]

Obscurity Knocks - Trash Can Sinatras - From 1990. Jangly guitar genius. To be found on their debut album, Cake.

[Kicko]

i know it is mainstream -- but riverdance is my all time favourite- especially listening to it anywhere in the world besides ireland, has a lot more meaning to it then

[osarusan]

Tom Waits - "Tom Traubert's Blues".

[Torn-Ado]

New Slang - The shins

Mainstream enough I suppose but its my favourite song at the moment.

[gustavo]

I know sentimental twaddle but it conjures up a rather magic moment in my life.

Torn-Ado thats a great song too.
If its sentimental twaddle and you know it , why do you want everyone else to hear it when by your own admission you only like it because of personal circumstances?

[Magicme]

aw no it is still a beautiful song though.

[Risteard]

ATM Get Behind Me Santa by Sufjan Stevens.

[Lionel Ritchie]

It's Clichéd to be Cynical at Christmas by (who else?) Half Man Half Biscuit

It's just stuck in my head at the moment.

Autobahn by Kraftwerk my all time favourite non-English language song of all time. :D

[sonofstan]

Nice to see Townes getting props;

In an adjacent vein, a blinding recent discovery is 'Harlan County' by Jim Ford, title track of his only record, made in 1969. I don't know what the policy is on posting MP3s here, but its up on a load of sites ....

[stann]

I'd say the policy is pretty strict! :D
Legal download site is no prob. If not, a link to a blog, say, that links the tune might be OK but certainly not a direct link to the mp3.
