“I Shall Believe” is my fav Sheryl Crow song. It’s sexy, angry and optimistic. Like me. = )
If It Makes You Happy is my favorite song by Ms. Crow. I pretty much love this song because when i’m having a really bad day this is included on my playlist of songs to put on in my car and just drive around and sing (at annoying levels). Because if it makes you happy…it can’t be that baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadddddddd. Thanks Fresno Bee!
“Run Baby, Run” without question. This song meant so much to me at a time when the wheels of life were, quite literally, falling off the bus. Sheryl has a tone and a style that brings real healing to the soul…like she’s been there before and knows what you feel. Saw her once and would love to see her again!
I have too many favorites from one of my favorite artist who not only is an amazing artist but also an amazing human being . Bit if I had to pick one song it have to be Your An Original…..
Everyday is a Winding Road. Reminds me of how life is not so smooth at times. I also like Home. Reminds me of the time I was going through a divorce.
“No One Said It Would Be Easy”….
I think it’s a great song for those of us who are truly in love. Not the new fire hot romance love… but the “Did you get the milk, can you check on the kid she’s making a mess, I had to creatively pay this bill this month because you need socks” kind of love.
“All I wanna Do”….because how could you not like this song?
Everytime I hear “all I wanna do” it makes me smile. It reminds me of High school.
my favorite song is “All I Wanna Do” thank you
Everyday is a winding road! Its a great song to remember that there are bumps and winding passages in your life.
Strong enough is my favorite song of hers.
It speaks to me often, as I can be a very difficult person. My honey has to be strong in order to cope with me!
“My Favorite Mistake” because I’m my girlfriend’s favorite mistake
The Difficult Kind and You Don’t Bring Me Anything But Down. The first one because it’s so raw and beautiful, really shows her vocal range. Second one because I was in high school when it came out and I remember loving the song and thinking the music video was so cool.
I must have been really tired and slow last week. I guess I didn’t read the Degrees of Separation post closely enough because it totally went right over my head that Sheryl would be here until I saw the gigantic photo/feature on her in the Sunday paper. Geez.
Anyway, love her, please give me tickets.
I like “Soak Up the Sun” because it’s fun and stuff.
She has so many great songs but since I have to pick one I choose “Soak Up The Sun” this song sets the mood for summer fun. Good Day.:)
The first time I heard “All I Wanna Do” was when I won the CD from a radio station giveaway (Dean & Don, I think). Anyway, I fell in love with that song and it has been a fave ever since.
Favorite Sheryl song is “If It Makes You Happy” because it’s very emotional and raw, love her voice on that song as well.
“All I Wanna Do is have some fun” is my favorite because it helps me strive for balance in my life – all work, no play makes a very dull boy.
“Summer Day” because it reminds me of my first love.
Title – All I Wanna Do
Because all I wanna do is have fun! Life is too short not to enjoy what is around us!
My favorite Sheryl Crow song is the classic “My Favorite Mistake” Although it seems a bit more melancholy than her other songs, I love “My Favorite Mistake” becuase it represents Sheryl’s strong and soulful side. Love Sheryl Crow!
love “You’re an Original”
I never get tired of “Soak Up the Sun”. Great summer song =)
Hard to pick just one, however, if I had to chose, I pick “The First Cut is the Deepest”. It’s a remake, but the lyrics and her awesome voice rock!!
Soak up the sun… Cause… Duh it’s her best song
Soak up the sun. It’s just one of those great summertime songs to listen while you’re hanging around the pool.
“A Change Would Do You Good” is a fun, summery song that i love! I want to go so badly!!!
“Always On Your Side” because it reminds me of my cousin Laura who died in a car accident in 2005.
This time of year it’s “Soak up the Sun” and “All I Wanna Do”. When the sun is shinning, you just want to be outside having fun!
This rendition of Little Wing with Eric Clapton is my favorite… because .. it rocks.

(You Don’t Bring Me) Anything But Down
Her lyrics in that song are terribly powerful. She sings it with so much passion and honesty.
Touches my heart and relates to my life.
“Maybe I’m not your perfect kind
Maybe I’m not what you had in mind
Maybe we’re just killing time”
I love “All I Wanna Do”. The reference to watching the sun come up on Santa Monica Blvd. just sounds like so much fun!
I Shall Believe. When I met my fiance, I had just come out of a really bad patch of my life. The song just says to me that if you hang in and someone has faith in you, and you have faith in yourself, things will work out in the end.
Your an original is my favorite. Reminds you that we are our own person. Has a great message and tempo. She has done a great job on all her songs.
Cheryl Crow is Awesome!! I would love to see her!
Hard to decide as she has so so many good ones, each good to play during certain times. But I would have to say my favorite is “Are You Strong Enough To Be My Man”
“All I Wanna Do” just makes me happy. It’s a song to just blast in the car and sing along to. Reading all these posts makes me want to do just that! =)
I heart sheryl crow! I would love to see her sing Run Baby Run!
1996 Home alone. My family is out on vacation while I am in summer school. I had a crazy house party. Rocking Miss Crow.
“Strong Enough” is her best song. it’s so honest and emotional without being dramatic.
My favorite song has to be “My Favorite Mistake” because heartache never sounded so darn sexy. Sheryl is a genius and I would love to see her live!
I love every song she does, she is my favorite singer ever and I am sad that I can’t afford to go, but If i had to pick one song it would be “all i wanna do” because no matter how sad or broke you are, you can always put it on and have a party in your head.
My favorite song would have to be “All I wanna do” it’s a classic song to listen to in the car.
“All I Wanna Do” reminds me of my high-school sweetheart.
My fav song is “all I wanna do”.
That is a very catchy tune! Sheryl Crow rocks!
Soak up the Sun is my favorite! Makes me think of summer in Fresno,CA and laying out by the pool with the drink with little umbrellas. Good times
I really like her new one with Kid Rock “Collide” and since Kid Rock won’t be there I volunteer to sing it with her!Now Thats worth some tickets!!
“My Favorite Mistake”
Sheryl Crow rocks! : )
“My Favorite Mistake”
“Leaving Las Vegas” has a great chorus and the percussive hook is irresistable. Pleeeeeeese! Ready for a night out!
“Soak up the Sun”- It is the first song my kids learned to sing when they were little that the whole family would sing along together in the car. Even now when it comes on the kids still remember the lyrics.
I just love “Soak Up the Sun” – always lifts my spirits! Thanks
“If it makes you Happy’
Wow- what a feel good song!! I mean, it is just so catchy that no matter how bad my day, I find myself singing along forgetting my problems.
Thank you Fresno Bee & Sheryl Crow for this awesome chance to win tickets!
Dawn
favorite song is all I wanna do
All i wanna do is have some fun.
one of my favorites is “Soak up the Sun” always a good one to blast while driving in the car, puts you in a good mood
“All I wanna Do” definitely, because All I wanna do is go to this concert and “have some fun” and I’m sure I’m not the only one.
I would love to hear “Strong Enough” by Sheryl Crow in Person…That song helped me get through my divorce to my abusive ex hubby…strange to say but true!! It helped me to realize it wasn’t my fault for the way he treated me…but it was him. It set the Standards for me to find My awesome 2nd Hubby and now I can truely say I know now what being loved is really like!!! Thanks for hearing me out! have a great day!
“Soak up the sun” – Definitely by far one of her greatest songs. Always makes me happier when I hear it! <3
My favorite song is “All I Wanna Do” because it lifts your spirits!
“All I want to do” is have some F-U-N..tl the sun comes over Santa Monica Blvd!!!! or Fresno…just does not flow as well…but sure would love to go have some fun at this concert…last time I saw Sheryl Crow was in San Diego about 10 years ago, before kids..so really would love to see her!! Date nite YAHOO!!
“All I wanna do” no doubt is my favorite. Listening to any song by this amazing woman will put anyone in a better spirit
All time favorite is “ALL I WANT TO DO.” Would love to see her perform in person.
“all I wanna do” My kids like it
My favorite is the duet with Kid Rock because my daughter loves the song also so we always sing it together.Of course her voice is much better than mine.If it makes you happy is great also.
I love all of her songs, and they have all stood the test of time. If I had to pick, it would be her duet with Kid Rock “I put your picture away” I love how their voices sound together and I never get tired of hearing it!
My favorite song by Sheryl Crow is Leaving Las Vegas! It’s just a great song that makes you sing along everytime.
There are many great songs to choose from.. but I would say “Steve McQueen” because she displays a rockin edge that you didn’t hear in her earlier albums.Plus there is a certain, sexy honesty to hear a woman sing “I ain’t takin s**t off no one.
All I Wanna Do is Have Some Fun! And I will if I win tickets!
“All I want to Do” is a classic from a lady and great artist.
“All I want to Do” is a classic from a lady and great artist.
” Soak Up the Sun ” Its happy, lighthearted, and so appropriate for a Fresno summer.
ALL I WANNA DO … It’s a fun song, and something I can relate to.
“All I Wanna Do” is my favorite.
Many years ago I was going to buy a car in LA and left Fresno in the middle of the night to get to the car lot when they opened. When I first heard the song on FM radio…..you guessed it….. I was on Santa Monica Blvd as the sun was coming up. I couldn’t believe my ears, it was unreal. I have listened to the song a thousand times and think it is a classic and I still like it. Would love to go to the concert but money is a little tight….so please pick me!
For me it is “Soak up the Sun”. As it is such an upbeat song for me because on Aug 3 I am having my knee replacement replaced due to an infection that has settled in my artificial knee and this song brings me joy, sunshine & a bit of Sheryl Crow to enlighten my day!!! Amazing artist she is!!
tough choice but gotta go with “All I Wanna Do”
My favorite song she does is “All I Wanna Do Is Have Some Fun”.
I became a big fan of Sheryl’s when she started dating Lance Armstrong. I am bike rider like Lance and while they were dating, every time you saw them
at some function, they always seemed like they were having so much fun being with each other. It was a bummer when the split up, I thought they made a great couple.
All I Wanna Do is Win!!!
“All I Wanna Do”….great memories! I used to travel Santa Monica Blvd when I lived in So. Cal. I know what she’s describing! Would love to see her at the Saroyan.
All I wanna do
Strong Enough
I really enjoyed her new song that she performs with Kid rock. I also like “The First cut is the deepest”. Now that I think of it, all of Sheryl’s songs are great!
Change would do you good.
Awww heck everyone can use some change and it would do everyone good!!!
“All I Wanna Do”. Good beat, good rhythm, good lyrics, and it’s a fun song to listen to. Who could listen to this song and not smile? If you can’t, then there is something wrong with you. Gonna play this at my retirement party! (Whenever that may be, lol!)
“All I Wanna Do”, is my favorite song…it is so upbeat..and fun!!!
My favorite song by Sheryl Crow is, undoubtedly, “If It Makes You Happy.” About a year ago, my parents were going through an extremely rough patch in their marriage; divorce seemed imminent. I remember one night, coming home, I heard my mother blasting this song from her room and singing to it. She said that it gave her hope for a better tomorrow. She opened my eyes to this song having a different meaning — that no matter what happens in life, things can’t be that bad; people will fight and have their differences but in the end, who cares if things go wrong on occassion, because there’s always still some ounce of hope and happiness in everyone. For THAT reason, I LOVE this Sheryl Crow song.
Soap up the sun, is so fun, and a feel good song.
Soak up the sun, such a cool and happy song. Perfect for summer!
I love “Lullaby” its so emotional and touching, brings to mind all of my loved ones.
If it makes you happy-one of the best songs ever!
Favorite Sheryl Crowe song: Everyday is a Winding Road. Why? Sentimental. Hope I win.
All I wanna do…
