Best Song Ever

[eastside19]

What's the one song that you love, always turn up when you hear it, and have played three maybe four times in a row. Any song from any era. Mine:

Bob Marley - No Woman, No Cry

[loki102]

i think what you mean is favorite song ever not best song

anyway mine is "Paint It Black" by the Rolling Stones

[bertuzzi]

There are so many for me, but if I had to choose one, then it would be Some Might Say. If you don't know the band, then don't bother ;)

[theflyingbeagle]

Mine would be, if criteria were "turn it up when it plays", Ruby Tuesday.

[Tekron]

Practically any song of Weezer's debut album. Pure genious.

[Woswasi]

Moby - Harbour

[dcx693]

Satisfaction - Rolling Stones

[Pickledhales]

Otherside by The Red Hot Chili Peppers

[kailes]

i wouldn't say best song ever, but man do i like champagne supernova by oasis. great, great tune

[soulrock]

I would have to say "One" by Metallica is my all time favorite song. There is nothing like when Lars hits the crescendo with the double bass pounding...ahh maybe I'll put it on right now.

[knarf135]

Yes "One" is a verrrrrrrry goood song but not my favorite song... I really don't think I have a favorite:cool:

[kailes]

man oh man--eyes of the world by the dead? soulshine by the allmans? he reigns by the newsboys (hows that for eclectic tastes!!) all i want is you by U2?

[NiTRO]

Here are my top 5 (I can't slim it down any further than that):

Rolling Stones - Beast of Burden
The Cult - Love
Jane's Addiction - Three Days
Led Zeppelin - Good Times, Bad Times
Pixies - Wave of Mutilation

I ALWAYS turn these songs up! Music simply does NOT get any better than these!!!

[Wolfman200]

I can't really pick a favorite, but man do I have to listen to this a few times when I find it:

The Beatles - Eleanor Rigby

This one's incredibly awesome, too:

Cake - Long Line of Cars

[noah]

the song i always play when i need to be cheered up is "song #3" by reel big fish. that's probably the closest i have to a favorite song or anything...

[jeremyim]

oh man, this one is far before my time but i would have to say blueberry hill by fats domino; a little more recent i would go with sexual healing by marvin gaye and buffalo soldier by bob marley but then you can't forget about its tricky by run dmc...this topic gets me thinking too much and i tend to like a lot of music so i'll just stop there

[gruentransfer]

Shake a Tail Feather.

Preferably by the Five Du-Tones, but the Blues Brothers are acceptable.

[Texipod]

Took me a while but I narrowed to 2.

My favorite of all time: Blue Oyster Cult, Don't Fear the Reaper

My Favorite release in the last 12 months: Maroon 5, Harder to Breathe

[antwerp]

:D I haven't seen that sketch in quite a while.

A song that I have to crank if I ever hear it: Led Zeppelin - Bron-yr-Aur. The only cd I know this song is on is Physical Graffiti, it was also featured in the movie The Song Remains The Same.

[godcha]

Too difficult to choose between below 3. For me nearly everything from Sarah McLachlan qualifies as the best song ever... ;)

Do What You Have To Do - Sarah McLachlan
The Path of Thorns [Terms] - Sarah McLachlan
Too Close To Heaven - The Waterboys [Mike Scott]

[Fopac]

Fake Plastic Trees by Radiohead

It just doesn't get any better than that . . . for me at least

[tou]

"Can't you hear me knocking" Rolling Stones

[makeitfunky]

"Over The Rainbow" Judy Garland

boo yah oldschool

[Jocephus1]

"Hey Jude"--Beatles
Metallica "One"
"Clocks" Coldplay
"Tiny Dancer" Elton John
"Memory" -- from the Cats musical
"In My Darkest Hour" Megadeth


yes I have varied tastes

[loGan]

Paranoid Android

Don't Stop me now

Sympathy for the Devil

Kashmir

Helter Skelter

It is hard for me to choose between these 5 though i have probabaly forgotten a dozen more.

[loGan]

She makes you think of Fish?

Oh yeah. All songs can benefit from more cowbell. Look at what the cowbell did for Lowrider.

And while I don't know if its my favorite song [its definitely close if not number 1], my most played song is "Punk Rock Academy" by Atom and His Package.

[peacefroggyac]

aagh, so hard. Being a die-hard Queen fan, I'd have to say Bohemian Rhapsody (genius, pure genius) or Somebody to Love (stunning vocals).

I don't mean to say this to offend your personal tastes - just a humorous observation. I was recently discussing with some friends some of the worst songs of all time (prompted by Blender's recent list) and I named G&R's Live & Let Die one of my top 5 worst songs ever. To each his own I guess!

[gdog]

Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
Get It On - T rex
How many more Times - Led Zeppelin
Whole lotta love - Led Zeppelin
Good Morning Good Morning - The Beatles
Imagine - John Lennon

[Rage710]

Anything by Pink Floyd and DJ Tiesto are my favorites :cool:

[Uranus]

Just an observation, that's a mighty varied list of genres. You got some metal with disturbed and some ... erm, pop? with george michael :D

imho, the 2 best songs ever are:
Incubus - Pardon me (acoustic)
Bush - Glycerine

[Chemcical]

The Stones - Sympathy for the Devil
Boby Dylan - Like a Rolling Stone
Leftfield - Release the Pressure
Chemical Brothers - Hey Boy Hey Girl

I could go on for hours but they're the first four that came to mind

[comedyfish]

I have always been a big fan of 'How soon is now' by 'The smiths' but get this, the most played song on my ipod is Toxic by 'Britney Spears'

I have all this indie, alternative stuff, electro and rap but Britney keeps popping up on random - I'm loving that song :D

[Ethanini]

Cranberries' "How"
Modest Mouse's "The View" or
The Verve's "Sonnet"
