Wouldn't it be nice, by the Beach Boys.
This is not available for argument.
Just a declarative statement.
-
You know, it's definitaly massively high, but you know, I'm partial to Jungleland by Bruce Springsteen, and Here Comes the Sun by the Beatles (though the second one is in large part thanks to it's absolutely amazing placement after I Want You (She's So Heavy))
-
I feel compelled to say that God Only Knows is just as good.
-
Halloween by the Misfits.
Or the Time Warp.
-
Sloop John B, hello.
-
What about songs that haven't been released yet?
I'm partial to everything Chinese Democracy.
-
I reckon the best song ever is 'Let it be', by the beatles not because it's my favorite or anything, but because I've yet to find a human being who does not like it.
But you know, since it's a fact and all, I guess 'Wouldn't it be nice' is he best. I haven't heard it so I can't pass judgement. That's probably why I disagree.
-
My vote's for Staralfur.
-
no.
uptight. stevie wonder.
no comparison.

I don't like it. Too schmaltzy for me. The fact that it's on the same album as Across the Universe fdoesn't help it either.
-
My favorite is Iron & Wine - Upward Over the Mountain :-)
-
The Chemical Brothers - Let Forever Be
The Chemical Brothers - The Sunshine Underground
Both totally totally perfect.
-
THIS IS NOT ABOUT FAVOURITE SONGS!
IT IS ABOUT BEST SONGS!
OBJECTIVELY, THAT WAS WOULDN'T IT BE NICE LAST NIGHT WHEN I WAS DRUNK!
I HAVE NOT DECIDED FOR TODAY.
-
Time Warp
I second this
-
Makeout Hobo, stick to things you know.
My Generation by The Who is clearly the best song ever.
-

Here Comes the sun is NOT after She’s So Heavy, it’s on the other side. CD’s fucking kill albums like this. The album was meant to be arranged as two distinctive sides and if you listen to the LP you can tell; that’s the way it was arranged, along with almost every other good album from the era. That’s one of the biggest problems I have with CD’s, you don’t get the same listening experience because it’s all continuous. Of course, modern albums (mostly) are made for CD’s and don’t take this into account, and that’s just fine. The standard musical medium these days is CD’s and people take this into account, but when vinyl ruled true artists knew that people would have a pause between sides and arranged albums accordingly, making the listening more exciting and interactive.

Comfortably Numb

No wait, it's a tie:
"Observatory Crest" or "My Head Is Only House Unless It Rains" by Captain Beefheart. Pure genius.

Anything by Cynic.
You are now my favorite new guy.

I agree with this man. Also: Dachau Blues.

Yay! People like me! ^_^
-
Arvo Part - Te Deum
-
The best song ever is Sunshine Superman by Donovan. I'm sorry. There is no argument. I mean, it's got Superman, it's got sunshine, and it's got Donovan.
-
Build Me Up,Buttercup has the potential to be the best song ever.
Perhaps if the right artist performed it.

Yikes, dude. Yikes.
I like the contrast between the two. While it may not have been the original plan by the Beatles, following up I Want You with Here Comes the Sun does sound pretty interesting/cool.
Also, I'll submit that Here Comes the Sun may be tied with Sloop John B for best song ever.
-
Arvo Part - Te Deum
for those that want to hear it:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/8zlpan

oh, and if you want to talk beatles, while my guitar gently weeps is clearly the best.
-
Anything by Cynic.
Except "How Could I?" I mean, it's good, but it's not BEST. Otherwise, Cynic have given my life meaning for the past 7 or so years.
I put forth two contenders: Slowdive - Alison
Voivod - Missing Sequences
-
Didn't we already have this thread? And I declared the winner to be "Lady Madonna" and every single person that has ever existed throughout human history unanimously agreed with me?
I am pretty sure that happened, guys.
-
I feel compelled to say that God Only Knows is just as good.
And I'm compelled to agree with you, as my now-fiancé used that on a compilation CD he made to propose to me.
Of course I'm not biased whatsoever.
-
Losing my Religion.
I suck at being indie.
-
Anything by Cynic.
Except "How Could I?" I mean, it's good, but it's not BEST.
Correct, kinda.. It's still miles above 99% of all other music out there. Perhaps it could just seem like a weaker track, because it is placed right after the godly piece of music known as "Textures". It does close the album perfectly though, In my humble opinion.

Well, yeah, I do know that, since I own Abbey Road on vinyl as well, but since the first time I heard the album was on CD, I've always associated the song with coming right after the end of I Wan't You (She's So Heavy), and I doubt I'll ever be able not to.
I don't necessarily agree with the fact that they aren't as exciting/interactive now though, I think that all depends on how the artist arranges it. I'd say there's equal opprotunity for both to be just as exciting as the other, though albums designed in the vinyl age tend to be better on the vinyl. That's my experience anyways, I don't have quite enough vinyl that I've listened to in order to back that up properly.
-
Led Zepplin - Kashmir.
or
Steppenwolf - Magic Carpet Ride

Well no, I’m not saying that they can’t do that with CD’s. I’m just saying that for an album like Abbey Road, they didn’t even know what a CD was when it was recorded, so they arranged it with two distinct sides in mind. That’s all.
-
The more I hear it, the more I think that Islands' "Rough Gem" might be the best song ever.
-
Correct, kinda.. It's still miles above 99% of all other music out there. Perhaps it could just seem like a weaker track, because it is placed right after the godly piece of music known as "Textures". It does close the album perfectly though, In my humble opinion.
Yeah, because the end of the track is totally awesome. There are great moments throughout the entire song, really, but I just don't think it compares to the rest of the album. The worst thing about it, in my opinion, is that guitar-like riff being played on what sounds like a piano in the very beginning of the song. I'm guessing guitar synth, but whatever it is, that particular sound annoys the hell out of me. Don't get me wrong or anything, I love Cynic beyond maybe one or two bands ever, but I still think there are faults to be pointed out.

Agreed, that Synth sound is pretty darned cheesy, but screw it. I've grown to love it, actually!
-
I'd say Race for the Prize by the Flaming Lips.
Actually, The Soft Bulletin is full of best songs ever.
-
That song amazed me the first time I heard it. Great stuff.
-
Thugz Mansion - 2Pac
-
I think you'll find It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) by Bob Dylan is the greatest song ever. Closely followed by Move On Up by Curtis Mayfield.
-
Billie Jean - Michael Jackson
-
Please, if we were to choose one Michael Jackson song, It's definitely Smooth Criminal.
-
No, it's Thriller.
-
Right, I swear I fucking posted
'I have a better idea.
Lets not pick a Micheal Jackson song.'

I don't care by whom. There's gotta be some artist that covered it that actually did it in a way you liked.
EDIT: Wow, I just noticed my user rank and how well it fits in conjunction with my signature. I am sure that fhtagn is mispelled, though, as I got it straight from Call Of The Cthulhu.

The Elvis version is great, but I'm partial to the use Spiritualized gave it on "Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space"
-
Billie Jean - Michael Jackson
hell yeah
-
I believe it has to be The Longest Time by Billy Joel.
that or A Horse With No Name, by America

I nipped over to Amazon to have a look at "Cynic" since they seem to have a few people saying that they wrote the best song ever, but was put off ever ever buying it by the absurdly cliché and unoriginal idiosyncratic metal cover.

I would edit, but to put greater emphasis on the fact that Yakety Sax is clearly the best piece of music ever written, I have dedicated an entire post to the cause.

'Humans' by Islands makes me smile like a bastard.
Also, 'Thanks for the killer game of crisco twister' by Minus the bear.

So good even Zappa said he wanted to quit music after listening to it, for fear that he would never make something as good.

BLAH BLAH BLAH
Paradigm Shift.

Schubert's "Erlkoenig" is probably the most famous of his lieder (songs) and essentially kickstarted the Romantic tradition in music. It is also incredibly good, but then, I love the German language, so I'm biased.
I love playing the classical music card ;)
P.S. jose - Arvo Part is also THE MAN, and Te Deum is absolutely beautiful!

I'll have to play the folk card then.
Twa Corbies.
Hands down.

The Song that won the Eurovision in 1963:
Grethe 6 Jørgen Ingemann's "Dansevise".
And NO! it is not a matter of national pride for me, I just find that song unbelievably beautiful. The whole song has this effortless grace to it that I'm just completely in love with. And those strings... mm.

I agree, it is a wonderful song. What Outlandish did to it was blasphemy, pure blasphemy :(

Shesmovedon by Porcupine Tree? (Yes..that's the way the song title is spelled.)
Still Day Beneath The Sun by Opeth?
Sodom South Georgia by Iron and Wine?
I could never decide on a best song ever,by the way.

Shesmovedon by Porcupine Tree? (Yes..that's the way the song title is spelled.)
I'd say "Trains", to be honest.

Radio Cure>Can't Stand It>Poor Places

Actually, fuck everything else.
I've just realised what I've known all along.
RON GRAINER AND DELIA DERBYSHIRE - DOCTOR WHO THEME
-
I think the best song ever is: The Wonder - Sonic Youth.
-
Dudes.
Chacarron.
-
Radio Cure>Can't Stand It>Poor Places
Hummingbird > all of those
-
On Delia Derbyshire, also Your Hidden Dreams off White Noise. If nothing else, my favorite pop song.
Oh, and I couldn't pick one for PT, but those would both work as well.

Sodom South Georgia by Iron and Wine?
dude. iron and wine is sleep disguised as music.
i will not tolerate a pansy affinity for sleep.

I know this is off topic, but Lovecraft himself suggests that all spellings are malleable approximations of guttural and inhuman noises.

I for one like the cover, but yeah, that is a truly stupid thing to say.
Does that also mean, that "Symbolic" and "Human" by Death are NOT timeless, amazing and awe-inspiring masterpieces, just because their covers are fugly as hell?
-

That may well be the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
Shesmovedon by Porcupine Tree? (Yes..that's the way the song title is spelled.)
That's one of my least favorite Porcupine Tree songs. I'd totally second Trains, though.
And I actually really like the covers to Human and Symbolic. I agree that they are ugly, but I think it fits the music appropriately, and it varies interestingly from the standard metal album cover fare.
-
I actually like the artwork for Human. If anything on the cover is appropriately ugly, it's the Death logo...
-
Human is pretty damn cool, not so keen on Symbolic (Coverwise that is)
-
As much as I hate to be it, I am one of those wishy-washy people who can't decide on anything, especially rankings for things like "greatest song ever." So, after like 15 minutes of deliberation, I've picked 5 songs that deserve to be on a top-something countdown, because I hate rankings anyway. In no particular order:
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven (probably #1 anyway)
Stevie Wonder - Superstition
ACDC - Thunderstruck (NO ARGUMENTS IT'S AWESOME)
because I'm weird like that,
Daler Mendhi - Tunak Tunak Tun
and because I'm not afraid to stand up for what I believe (and because everybody else hates it),
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama and Freebird, I couldn't decide which
I know, I'm awesome.

WILCO
POOR PLACES
OK NOW?
...no.
-
If you're going Wilco, I'd have to say "Way Over Yonder in the Minor Key" with Billy Bragg.
-
Some contenders for best song ever:
"Peaches En Regalia" by Frank Zappa
"Malevolent" by Everclear
"Birdhouse in Your Soul" by They Might Be Giants
"Do You Realise" by The Flaming Lips
-
You know, I may have to pretty much concur with Peaches...
-
You would… ;p
'Like A Rolling Stone' is probably the best song ever written, and the performance is perfect. If there's going to be a best song ever it would have to be this one.
-
You would… ;p
'Like A Rolling Stone' is probably the best song ever written, and the performance is perfect. If there's going to be a best song ever it would have to be this one.
This one I'd be more inclined to agree with. Probably the quintessential Bob Dylan song.

Which is why I mentioned it already. yeeeesh (just kidding)

Iron and Wine will never come ou of my stereo..ever..unless it is in my portable.

Weezer- Only in Dreams
-
Maybe, uhh...
Andy-Frank Zappa (It could also be a variety of other things.)
Moonlight On Vermont/My Human Gets Me Blues-Captain Beefheart
So Damn, So Down, And So Blue-Xhol Caravan
21st Century Schizoid Man-King Crimson
The Star Spangled Banner
Yeah.
-
If we're picking a Zappa song, it is Peaches En Regalia or Stink-Foot.
If we're picking a Beefheart song, it's definitely either Moonlight on Vermont, Dachau Blues or Making Love to a Vampire with a Monkey on My Knee.
-
Other than "Like A Rolling Stone" I'd have to nominate the "Stop Making Sense" version of "Life During Wartime" by The Talking Heads. It's fan-fucking-tastic.
-
Nah, if it's a beefheart track it's got to be 'big eyed beans from venus'.
And I'm going to say Tears of a Clown by Smokey Robinson
-
Sunshine of your Love - Cream
If you don't like this song, you don't like music.
Sister -motherfucking- Ray- VU
Even better, but some people can't take any abrasion...
and I like "Super Are" by Boredoms
but I'm weird.
-
Finally someone brought up some decent Dylan in this thread.
"Like A Rolling Stone" gets the vote of everyone in the world.
-
EXCPET ME FUJCKHEAD
NECAUSE THE BEST SONG IS YOURT FUCKING MUM HAHA
-
Somebody brought up Birdhouse in Your Soul by TMBG a while back, and if you're going to be talking TMBG it's got to be either The Beer Song, Istanbul, or The Sun Is A Mass of Incandescent Gas. Preeeow.
-
What the FUCK this thread. I made this so long ago.
Also the best song is Polar Opposites by Modest Mouse these days.
-
Upon further reading, I believe this thread has some of my better posts. I vote for its permanent canonization.
-
I think I proved once, using mathematical theorems, that "Baba O'Riley" by The Who is the best song ever.
-
Which is, ironically, how the song was made (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baba_O'Reilly#Trivia).
-
Actually, that's the reason that such a proof is even possible.
-
Mayhem - Funeral Fog.

"The Evil That Men Do"
That's funny, because I don't like that song at all.
If it's gonna be a Maiden song, Aces High or Hallowed Be Thy Name. Period.

Like the topic says, ?best song not favorite song, I agree, Hallowed be thy Name is my favorite Maiden song, ?
I choose "The Evil Tha Men do" because it is basically a Microcosm of everything Maiden is:
,
-it's got the intro, which is amazingly atmospheric, ?best they've done since "Children of the Damned"
-it's got the galloping bass of Steve Harris,
-The twin leads of Murray and Smith, how can you not love that solo... Someone once mentioned on a forum I used to read, "Judas Priest introduced the world to twin guitars and Maiden perfected it", I have to agree.
-Then there's ?lyrics which are ?based on a line from ?"Julius Caesaer" by William Shakespeare, delivered in that way only Bruce can do.
The intro and the opening line:
"Love is a razor and I walked the line on that silver blade" ?the imagery that conjures up is astounding.
Anyway Im degenerating into fanboy mode now so I'll stop.
-
I reckon the best song ever is 'Let it be', by the beatles not because it's my favorite or anything, but because I've yet to find a human being who does not like it.
But you know, since it's a fact and all, I guess 'Wouldn't it be nice' is he best. I haven't heard it so I can't pass judgement. That's probably why I disagree.
Boring Macca singing, bad lyric... dosen't do it for me.
Best song ever is Thunder Road. Long thing i wrote about why: http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=1530844
Runners up include Fairytale of New York (The Pogues), Palmcorder Yanja (The Mountain Goats) and Your LIttle Hoodrat Friend (The Hold Steady)
or, yeah, God Only Knows wins. i can accept that

Time for me to completely fuck up any sort of rhythm this forum may have had going for it. Recently my brother stumbled upon a Baltimore club song entitled "Elmo Song." Essetially, it is a fake Sesame Street quote, set to a club beat and repeated. FUCKING AMAZING. It's seriously been stuck in my head for like 3 weeks now, and I can't get it out, not matter how hard I try. It's just that catchy.
*cough*
And, I guess I need a more.... contemporary song, yes? Then I shall go for Pride and Joy - Stevie Ray Vaughan, because Stevie Ray Vaughan is the bee's knees. Oh, look at that, I can hear Stevie spinning in his grave from here.

Upon further review, I'm going to have to say that Baba O'Riley is indeed the shit.
-
It isn't my choice, but I can't seem to muster up any reasons why it ISN'T the best song ever.
Except I can't remember if 'MY LOVE IS VENGENCE/THAT NEVER CEASES' is in that or Behind Blue Eyes
also a contender: You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth by Meatloaf. cut out the spoken word bit first though
-
My love is vengeance is from "Behind Blue Eyes"
and the best song ever is clearly "Lotion" by the Greenskeepers
-
Oh Comely.
-
Or Holland 1945? Or 'In the Aeroplane....'
too many perfect songs
-
!T.O.O.H.! - Kali. I haven't listened to it in awhile, but it gets me everytime.
-
I think i'm going to go with "Rule the world with love" by the Barenaked ladies. It is undeniable that I have a limited personal library of songs, and also a complete lack of taste with which to weigh their value... but regardless I flat out enjoy listening to this particular one.
The 13th post has passed, and my groundless superstitions have been appeased.
