Love your choices and indeed "Greensleves" dates to that time and is a holiday favorite of mine; just not my top of all time favorite:ultracool

All great songs. I find that the "Old" rush 2112 and "Old" Pink Floyd album "Darkside of the Moon" were one epic told. It all just flowed together.

I too was a Queen fan for some time. As it happens, I was in London the day Freddie died; a very sad and somber day on the street.

I realize a lot of folks consider Greensleeves a holiday song. I really never have....not sure why.

Here's some background I found:
GREENSLEEVES
(poss. Henry VIII of England, 1500's.)

Alas, my love, you do me wrong,
To cast me off discourteously.
For I have loved you well and long,
Delighting in your company.

Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
And who but my lady greensleeves.

Your vows you've broken, like my heart,
Oh, why did you so enrapture me?
Now I remain in a world apart
But my heart remains in captivity.

I have been ready at your hand,
To grant whatever you would crave,
I have both wagered life and land,
Your love and good-will for to have.

If you intend thus to disdain,
It does the more enrapture me,
And even so, I still remain
A lover in captivity.

My men were clothed all in green,
And they did ever wait on thee;
All this was gallant to be seen,
And yet thou wouldst not love me.

Thou couldst desire no earthly thing,
but still thou hadst it readily.
Thy music still to play and sing;
And yet thou wouldst not love me.

Well, I will pray to God on high,
that thou my constancy mayst see,
And that yet once before I die,
Thou wilt vouchsafe to love me.

Ah, Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu,
To God I pray to prosper thee,
For I am still thy lover true,
Come once again and love me.

-----------------------------------------
"What Child Is This?" is a popular Christmas carol that was written in 1865. At the age of twenty-nine, writer William Chatterton Dix was struck with a sudden near-fatal illness and confined to bedrest for several months, during which he went into a deep depression.[citation needed] Yet out of his near-death experience, Dix wrote many hymns, including ‘What Child is This?” It was later[citation needed] set to the traditional English melody of "Greensleeves".
-------------------------------and LAST but not least-------The Sydney Morning Herald Blogs: RadarThere is no conclusive information regarding the origin of Greensleeves. The Henry VIII legend is charming but unlikely to be true. ...

[Xue Sheng]

Well I do not have an absolute favorite song… or at least I don’t think I do

but today my favorite song appears to be

Metallica: Fuel

Yesterday it was

Aerosmith: Permanent Vacation

Tomorrow it will likely be different and could be anything

You make a good point. I imprint a favorite song by overplaying it. Then I move on to a new favorite song.

Right now its "Taper jean girl" by Kings of Leon.

Yesterday it was "Walk" by Pantera.

I think tomorrow I'm going to check out a band called Clutch that looks pretty interesting.
