The history is interesting.

If it's gonna be the Stones, it's gotta be Honky-Tonk Woman.

What's a "video"????

Black Sabbath. Hard to pick a favorite song, but always liked Into the Void.

Of course, Ozzy is my favorite solo artist. Really love all his stuff, but this is one of my favorites, The Road to Nowhere:

I like most kinds of music, except opera and rap. Hank Jr is my next favorite singer.
 
Hotel California by the Eagles with Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd as a very close 2nd
 
James Gang "Rides Again" Song - "The Bomber Medley"
Joe Walsh and Barnstorm "The Smoker You Drink, The Player You Get"


Zep - Stairway To Heaven - Rock anthem of a generation

Too many to choose.... :)

That is a very strange song. I remember it and many of the other Jefferson Airplane songs of that era. One of my favorites from back then has the phrase "the human name doesn't mean s--- to a tree". Always thought that was a good line. :D
 
As a musician that's a tough one and very hard to anwser but three that come to mind in no particular order Lyanrd Skynard live gimmie three steps and The breeze, Brad Pasley Whiskey Lullaby and maybe Keity Whitly live at the Opery, I'm no stranger to the rain.
I preform all of these songs and many more so this list would change dáy to day.

There are many songs I like and especially enjoy hearing, but I can't say any one is my favorite. The Rolling Stones Can't You Hear Me Knocking comes to mind. I love the sax break in that one as well as their Dead Flowers. Into the Mystic by Van Morrison is another. Love listening to it on a good stereo to follow the bass line. Those are a few of many I always enjoy hearing. Kind of like your kids, I can't name a favorite, but enjoy them for different qualities.
 
I don't have a favorite group. I have 2 favorite songs of all time--Wild Horses and Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere by Neil Young. Both were recorded in '69. I had the best video of Wild Horses ever saved on my computer and it was removed in the USA :( If you can find the live acoustic studio version recorded in B&W in Tokyo '95, find a way to save it forever. It's that good! I watched it at least 100 x's and now it's gone.

Favorite music video? ZZ Top's Legs: www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUDcTLaWJuo

Wild Horses was recorded in the Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Shefflield, AL. I went there last summer with my granddaughter, Kady:

Jimmy Johnson, an original Swamper, mixed and recorded the song:

I don't have a favorite group as much as the favorite of the time being which varies about every week, and the song always depends on the week and group. Currently the two are The Allman Brothers At Fillmore East and Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon.
 
Definitely a most difficult series of questions... After some consideration, I have to answer:

Favorite group - Jethro Tull. I was a classically trained flautist, taking lessons from 1958 through 1962... My last gig was 1975... I still have several flutes, none of which have seen the light of day for 25+ years. I keep thinking one day I may play again... But with emphysema it's unlikely I will.

Favorite song - Impossible to define. I have (literally) thousands of albums, CDs, DVDs, videos and I enjoy everything from classical through country western. The only 'music' I do not tolerate is rap/hip/hop/gangsta crap. Just can't do it. If I threw a dart at a dart board, my favorite song would probably be John Prine's "Hello In There".

Favorite Video - Again, impossible to define. But one of my all time favorite Tull tunes and one of my favorite videos is from the early 1990s of a Tull concert in Instanbul. The tune is Budapest. One of the great Tull works IMO. It has it all... Acoustics, slow start, big middle and huge finish. And of course Ian's flutework at the end of the song is pretty damned good! ;)

Personally I like the live version of Legs by ZZ Top: ;)

Just LOVE watching Frank hammer the skins. Those guys are just so on fire...
 
As has been noted, a darn near impossible question. That said, if I had to choose a favorite group it would probably be the Moody Blues.

Favorite songs can vary depending on situation, mood, or inspiration. Lately I've been enjoying some old Al Stewart, like "Roads to Moscow" and "On the Border". And the Outlaws "Green Grass and High Tides Forever" whenever I'm out on the highway.
