Which song is usually regarded as the greatest ever?

[QUOTE=The-Legend-24]Drake - Club Paradise or 9AM in Dallas[/QUOTE]
9 AM >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.

[QUOTE=Trollsmasher]Stairway to Heaven
Free Bird (>>> Sweet Home)
Bohemian Rhapsody
[B]One[/B]

also Comfortably Numb[/QUOTE]
Great choice.

Interesting to look through these: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_songs_considered_the_best[/url]

[QUOTE=AintNoSunshine]Is Eric Clapton's Tears in Heaven in the conversation?[/QUOTE]

It shouldn't be.

Stairway to heaven will pop up the most, but I don't think it's the best.

Remix to ignition - R Kelly
Like a Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan
Come sail away - Styx
Love you like a love song - Selena

My personal favorites that are in discussion for GOAT.

Hmmmm.

I've listented to Ignition and Love you like a love song maybe 5-10 times a day when they were popular. And repeated it for at least several months.

The same with Put on and Hollaback Girl and It's My Life and Sweet Escape and She Wants to Move - Pharrell

I think you're on to something. There must be somethign especially enchanting about the beat. Something about the resonance or vibration that puts it as a worthwhile contendor.

AC/DC-Hell's Bells

I'll put my vote down for Billie Jean as well.

Only "legendary rock song" I think I've heard is Smells Like Teen Spirit. Damn good song doe

[QUOTE=DuMa]Fur Elise[/QUOTE]

I like that one. I'd also throw Cannon in D in there

But the greatest song ever is:

Does anyone else not like Smells Like Teen Spirit at all? I never liked it not even once. Incredibly overrated IMO

Never been a fan of this rendition, too messy and too much of a whammy abuse.

I don't like it too much either. That probably goes with my general dislike of Nirvana.

This song is actually the shit.

[QUOTE=ace23]This song is actually the shit.[/QUOTE]
doesnt hold a candle to baby by justin bieber

Wrecking Ball actually is a damn good song tho real talk

This is not the greatest song in the world. [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lK4cX5xGiQ]This is just a tribute.[/url]

Ace said he's never heard "Stairway to Heaven." But he's most def heard "My Girl."

My vote goes to "My Girl" by the Temptations or Aretha Franklin's version of "Respect." Soul Music tends to get around more than Rock (at least in this era.)

This song should definitely be in the top 10-20 Conversation:

[URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5JkHBC5lDs"]Dire Straits- Brothers in Arms[/URL]

Just like Ace, I've never heard Highway to Heaven nor Bohemian Rhapsody or watever (Although if I go to youtube and listen to them (which I will after this post) I'd prob recongnize it from a movie or commercial).

Anyway, It seems like this thread is "whites only" type music, so I'll exit to da left.:lol


IMO, the greatest song ever is Michael Jackson's "Thriller" with "Billie Jean" a close 2nd. Goat gonna Goat.

I went to listen to both and didn't recognize either. I also thought I would. :oldlol:

There are a few in each genre that can be considered. It has to be a song that ANYONE can enjoy no matter their taste. Something that is so good you can't help but appreciate the beauty. Some of my unconventional candidates would be...

Great soundtrack.

[QUOTE=KingBeasley08]Requiem For a A Dream :applause:

Great soundtrack.[/QUOTE]
Movie and video game soundtracks nowadays are the only quality shit produced, all the real songs are autotuned to death and you can't even tell who the **** it is. No actual talent is required anymore, just a pretty face and some editing in the studio and you are an instant star.

[QUOTE=ace23]I went to listen to both and didn't recognize either. I also thought I would. :oldlol:[/QUOTE]

:oldlol:

I just went to check them out, I think I heard Highway to Heaven from somewhere before, and I've never heard Bohemian Rhapsody....Couldn't make it through either song, gave HTH 40 seconds untill I off'd it, and gave BR about 14 seconds before I said "lol no...white ppl music:facepalm " and closed my YouTube tab. Not a fan.

But the song "We are the Champions" has to be the greatest song for the sports world.

I'm God- lil b

Underrated best song of all time candidates:

House of the Rising Sun-the Animals
Tuesdays Gone- lynrd skynrd
Tonight tonight- smashing pumpkins
Reckoner - radiohead

My personal favorite is "Sitting on the dock of the bay" by Otis Redding. ([url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCmUhYSr-e4[/url])

My Dick - Michey Avalon anyone?

[QUOTE=branslowski]Just like Ace, I've never heard [B]Highway to Heaven[/B] nor Bohemian Rhapsody or watever (Although if I go to youtube and listen to them (which I will after this post) I'd prob recongnize it from a movie or commercial).

Stairway to Heaven. But anyway you probably wouldn't recognize it because Led Zepplin are notorious for not letting their music be used. Here is Jack Black begging them to let them use a song in The School of Rock (which they did end up allowing).

[url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlk8DhHYDNw[/url]

And here is a deleted scene from Almost Famous. They filmed the scene but weren't allowed to use the song so they added the scene as a DVD extra. The scene didn't have the music so you had to sync the song to the video (which has been done in this link).

:applause: Great one.


I would have to say the song that reflects and encapsulates being a human being in an ever changing world is this:

[url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zicw_dVwhfM[/url]

I think this is on the very short list of greatest songs ever recorded. Not complicated, not overdone. Just something that appeals to the wide gamut of being a human being.

Ennio Morricone's "The Ecstasy of Gold" deserves some consideration.

He's composed many that are transcendentally brilliant. Leone's films have scores that really transport the listener.


Prince's "Purple Rain" also comes to mind.

First song that came to my mind was Springsteen - Thunder Road. It is pretty insane to image a single song being regarded as the greatest ever tho. There are definitely genre or era defining songs but music is way to diverse for there to be anything close to a consensus.

Stairway to Heaven isn't even my favorite Zepplin song. I still don't know what this means

[I]If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May queen[/I]

Also did someone just say they listened to Highway to Heaven?

[URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6qxMu3GT9o"]This is Highway to Heaven[/URL]

This is [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1eSdLKBxS0"]Highway to Hell[/URL]
