Hi there, I'm compiling a list of people's favourite musical songs ever, and to date have around 50 responses and over 120 different song choices.

If you could spare a few minutes to respond with your/your friends/family's top 3's (in order) I would be most appreciative.

When I have collated all responses I will post the final chart on this board.

Many thanks!

Re: Favourite Musical songs of all time

Only three?
Oh well, IÂ’ll tryÂ…

Glitter and Be Gay – Candide
A Call from the Vatican – Nine
There’s a Ring of Gold in Texas – Das Barbecu

You said “musicals” so I didn’t include “Hymn to the Aten” from Akhnaten or “News” from Nixon in China, because they really are arias from operas, but if I could they would probably have been second and third.
