Best song ever

What is the best song ever recorded?

Fibonacci

Danger

I've heard less than 1% of the songs ever recorded, so I'm in no position to judge. The one that always makes me stop what I'm doing (yeah, even that) to listen is 'Born To Run' by Springsteen. Another of those things that Hypatia can understand. Whenever I hear it, I can feel that 440 pounding and smell burning rubber.

Dream On, live version in the Aerosmith anthology concerts.

Or maybe it was the Minute Waltz, by Chopin, or Good Riddance (Time of your life), by Green Day, or that long wierd Austrian named one by Mozart?

Bladibla

Requiem by mozart

Clarinet quintet by mozart

Clausius2

I have heard it. A wonderful piece. I use to hear it when I am sad or angry.

Although I think the best song is:

In the name of love (Pride)

U2.

"It's All Right, Ma, I'm only Bleeding."

Bob Dylan

YMCA

=/ nah... maybe not.

My fave all time recorded song is Led Zeppelin...Ramble on

And yep Danger, that ones on my cruising tape.. good driving music!

Bladibla

I wanna add a bit more to my list..

J.S.Bach - Badinerie
Faure - pavane

I could barely scrape up a list of 10 of my favourite songs let alone 1. I'd feel I'm neglecting many deserving songs then.

Artman

Well, you may not need to stop what you're doing, but you should definitely slow down.

I really like Comfortably Numb, but I wouldn't call it the best song ever recorded.

Muskrat Love ranks right up...Okay, it just is rank.

hypnagogue

It's gotta be...

Echoes, by Pink Floyd.

Danger

Somebody messed up at the factory. Those were supposed to be lubricated...

Astronuc

I'd definitely give a vote for "Ramble On", which is a great cruising song, but my all time favorite is the Jimi Hendrix version of "All Along the Watchtower".

But I would have to add "Purple Haze","Stone Free",Manic Depression","Voodoo Chile" (from Electric Ladyland),"Voodoo Child (Slight Return)".

Then I would add Journey's "Of a Lifetime", which is a nice early morning at sunrise cruising tune (preferably on an empty highway going triple digits - of course with rated tires).

And possibly Blue Öyster Cult's "Then Came the Last Days of May" from the live album.

So, Hypatia, what else is on your cruisin' tape?

Huckleberry

I like your style.

Huckleberry

I also have a curious fascination with System of a Down, Spiders
Some might call it a morbid fascination.

hypatia

The driveing tape has some old Roxey Music, the Who, Zepplin, but also has songs like Mexican Radio, Cars, Police, {born in the 50's}...even Kid Rock song {with the top let back and the sun shine shineing}.
lol Now I feel the need to make a "morning" driveing tape, maybe include some Yes songs.
