What is your favorite sounding chord?

I don't know about you, but every time I pick up a guitar I inevitably play an Asus4 chord. The combo of low and high notes is just beautiful. What is your fav????

i like the F# (#11), A9 and B (#11) the you get when you fret the lower 4 four stings on the 2nd, 5th or 7th fret respectively (like a bar chord) and leave the top two open.

The F# is aka "The Rush Chord" since Alex lifeson uses it a lot (most notably the first chord of Hemispheres)

~Kenny

if i didn't explain well enough, the F# looks like this:
E o
B o
G 3
D 4
A 4
E 2

I like the sound of many chords, but if I gotta say something I guess the m7 and sus chords really sound good to me.

Hmm.. my favorite chord? I suppose it's E9

it would have to be 'A' form Dsus4... played with a quiet surreal feeling which kind of makes it sound classical or Jazzy depending on whether you strum or arppegiate it..
