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.

Kai · « **Reply #101 on:** 12 Jun 2006, 12:38 »

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.

pat101 · « **Reply #102 on:** 12 Jun 2006, 13:48 »

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.

Omnicide · « **Reply #103 on:** 12 Jun 2006, 13:54 »

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.

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.

SeanBateman · « **Reply #108 on:** 26 Oct 2006, 05:55 »

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.

minkles · « **Reply #110 on:** 26 Oct 2006, 06:21 »

I think I proved once, using mathematical theorems, that "Baba O'Riley" by The Who is the best song ever.

Johnny C · « **Reply #111 on:** 26 Oct 2006, 06:31 »

Which is, ironically, how the song was made.

Valrus · « **Reply #112 on:** 26 Oct 2006, 07:50 »

I'm appaled that no one's mentioned A Day In the Life - The Beatles.

That'd probably get my vote, with Fight Test - The Flaming Lips and Crosseyed & Painless or The Great Curve by Talking Heads coming close.

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

If not only because it's about 4 awesome songs happily contained in one, and it's one of the bestest things that ever happened to music.

Yes, but I haven't...and I love your comments more than Pete Wentz loves getting his bit out on the internet.

And to stay on some semblance of a topic (typng is hard when drunk) - also want to put
Thom Yorke - Harrowdown Hill
as a nomination for awesome song, as he seems to make everything sound so much more important than it actually is.

SilentJ · « **Reply #144 on:** 02 Nov 2006, 07:35 »

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.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #145 on:** 02 Nov 2006, 07:58 »

The Eyeball Kid · « **Reply #146 on:** 02 Nov 2006, 08:40 »

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

thegreatbuddha · « **Reply #147 on:** 02 Nov 2006, 14:35 »

My love is vengeance is from "Behind Blue Eyes"
