greatest and bestest song ever?
 

What do people think is the best song ever?
I've been thinking...it's hard, but i went for 'hold me down' by motion city soundtrack...perfection.
But...what do YOU think? :crazy:

You can't decide something like this.
Everybodies "favourite song" means something different to them. Plus, songs get repetetive/overplayed and are thus ruined.

"Just like Heaven" by the cure
or Konstantine by something corporate.

Both are just perfection to me, lyrically and melodically. I could listen to them over and over and not get bored (in fact have done on quite a few occassions)!

Bob Dylan- Like A Rolling Stone
The Smiths- There Is A Light That Never Goes Out
The Undertones- Teenage Kicks
Nick Cave & PJ Harvey- Henry Lee
Aaliyah-One In A Million
The Cure- Treasure
REM-Losing My Religion.

There's more, but it's down to personal choice.

the title of this thread makes me think of one song
"this is the greatest and best song in the world......tribute"
tenacious D - tribute :)

"Bob Dylan- Like A Rolling Stone"

Totally, so totally yes!
Birlliant brilliant song.

But then again, any song by The Postal Service is great, or indeed, alot of songs by Of Montreal.

I don't know, I don't think I even have a specific favourite song, I have many favourite songs for different occasions.
The Knife and heartbeats is also a brilliant song.

I have no idea, I'll shut up now!
Dicky!

Heck.

I'm sat next to Grace so I'm firstly thinking it's Mojo Pin. But then what about the painful honesty of Accidental Babies by Damien Rice or the classic, straightforward genius of Imagine by John Lennon? Did Black Sabbath's eponimous opener revolutionise alternative music enough for it still to be considered such an amazing record? What about music for pure, unadulterated fun: Blah Blah Blah by Middleman or Hello by The Cat Empire? Maybe the scope and vision in Joanna Newsom's Emily deserves the top spot?

Mojo Pin. But if you ask me again in an hour I'll change my mind, and it probably won't even be anything listed above.

"just like heaven" - the cure

yessss. perfection.

"everlong" - foo fighters

also perfect.



but i dont think i could ever choose a "greatest and best song ever" cos it changes all the time for me.

Of course, the answer is Massive Attack's Unfinished Sympathy anyway.

mmm, jeff buckley.

La Femme D'Argent - Air, for me at the moment.
Will change in a few days.

everlong is only perfect when its the acoustic version being played live

For me, this.

Psycho killer taking heads is a great song

yes,i agree.that is pretty nice.

Air are amazing, I have their album.
Oh yes.

L'Âme Immortelle - Fallen Angel
Skunk Anasie - Picking On Me
Zeromancer - Dr Online (1-800-Suicide)
Smashing Pumpkins - Ava Adore
Frou Frou - Close Up
PJ Harvey - No Girl So Sweet

BEST SONG EVER.

I loathe Jeff Buckely's music.

Cat Power- Lived In Bars
Bat For Lashes- What's A Girl To Do?
Anything by KRS-One
TLC-Waterfalls. Lisa Lopes' rap alone is fantastic.
Iggy Pop- The Passenger
Bloc Party- So Here We Are
Amy Winehouse- Back To Black
Elton John-Tiny Dancer (the scene in Almost Famous where they all sing it makes me cry EVERY time)
I also agree with Unfinished Sympathy by Massive Attack.
Morrissey- I Have Forgiven Jesus
Soul II Soul- Back To Life.

Surprised no-one's mentioned anything by the Beatles, Queen, Beach Boys or Led Zepp! :confused:

dittto to the smiths - there is a light..
and the cure - just like heaven

also:

bright eyes - something vague
bright eyes - poison oak
the cure - lullaby
jeff buckley - morning theft
elliot smith - between the bars
pink floyd - wish you were here / great gig in the sky / brain damage
modest mouse - spitting venom / bury me with it / ocean breathes salty

AAAAAH okay they're just my favourite songs....at the moment. not the best songs evarrrr.
