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.

E. Spaceman · « **Reply #54 on:** 06 Jun 2006, 10:44 »

No, it's Thriller.

Right, I swear I fucking posted

'I have a better idea.

Lets not pick a Micheal Jackson song.'

I'm going to have to say "Can't Help Falling In Love".

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"

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.

Like A Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan

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

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!

Quote from: Dark Flame
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))

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.

...That is pedantry like none I have ever seen before.

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.

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.

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.

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'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.

Aneurhythmia · « **Reply #88 on:** 08 Jun 2006, 04:05 »

I actually like the artwork for Human. If anything on the cover is appropriately ugly, it's the Death logo...

KharBevNor · « **Reply #89 on:** 08 Jun 2006, 05:34 »

Human is pretty damn cool, not so keen on Symbolic (Coverwise that is)

SilentJ · « **Reply #90 on:** 11 Jun 2006, 15:43 »

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.

"Malevolent" by Everclear
"Birdhouse in Your Soul" by They Might Be Giants
"Do You Realise" by The Flaming Lips

'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.
