I'm a huge music buff so I will answer this in terms of what I've seen from the many many lists and discussions I've had over the years. If I were to stick to English language songs from the 20th century and I had to pick one I'd say it would have to be Bob Dylan's [B]Like a Rolling Stone[/B]. When referring to greatness it's usually how impactful that song was to society and other music at the time. I remember not liking it the first time I heard it when I was really young. Eventually it became one of my all time favorites as well.
Money Trees - Kendrick
Gorgeous - Kanye
Break From Toronto - PARTYNEXTDOOR
Gimme Shelter
[QUOTE=Graviton]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...

Sounds of Silence!!! Simon came to Central Park and sang that about ten years ago. Powerful soft song much like the lyrics suggest.
In the vein of the songs mentioned on the first page. Caught my ear from the Bronx Tale. One of the very first videos ever.

Forget the video, just listen to the song. Miley actually has some talent. She just does what she does to gain relevance

Dylan is completely overrated and his music does not transcend the time in which it was made. His shit is stuck in the 60's.
[QUOTE=HardwoodLegend]Ennio Morricone's "The Ecstasy of Gold"[/QUOTE]
This.
Come Together (Beattles) is the best pop song though.
What about Viva La Vida:

Mainstream Pop(ALL-TIME), it's probably something like this.
Yesterday
Hotel California
Good Vibrations
(Somewhere) Over the Rainbow
5th Symphony
Stairway is great, even though the melody was ripped off from a bad Zeppelin toured with named Spirit, and the song(if you're interested) is named Taurus. It was recorded around 4 years before Stairway To Heaven.
If I had any input on what pop-culture thought, then I would maybe add Enjoy the Silence, Parents(Budgie), and Space Oddity.

:lol
WTF
Nice song but completely out of this thread's scope.
Seriously though, White Christmas, like I said before, is the answer.
It is the song that most people in the world all-time have bought. Fact.

Do you happen to know that there are other types of music than Britpop?
Wrecking Ball by Miley Cyrus deserves serious consideration. It's right up there with Stairway to Heaven.
Check out this interactive version of "Like a Rolling Stone".

Try changing channels during the song. You can also hit stop when on a channel you like, then click replay to listen to the entire song on that channel.
One of the coolest things I've come across on the internet lately.
Anyhow, this song is definitely up there.

Utterly foolish opinion.
His voice was never a good singing voice by technical standards but the lyrics are still timeless poetry.
How can you say a song like, "Times Are a Changin" is stuck in the '60s when u can apply it to every single decade/ generation that has come after?
Sounds like u just want to be 'that guy'

I think Dylan has had more songs covered than anyone else ever. Must be some reason for that.

Beatles, Queen, Rolling Stones etc. :bowdown:

If anything, you should have mentioned Pink Floyd.

The guy that thinks Dylan sucks and is stuck in the 60s? His music, his voice, his ability, they're all third rate. He's a 60's poet, not a creator of the greatest songs of all time.

He doesn't have one in the top 10.

I gave only one example of a song that can never really be dated or 'stuck in the 60s' yet you didn't even address that.
I respect it the guy isn't your cup of tea, I've said as much about the actual singing voice.
For you to say the content of his songs are confined to the decade they were made is about as off base of a statement on lyrical music I can think of.
In fact, despite the popularity that his songs in this thread still have, some of my personal favorites are rooted or connoted with times far before anything modern to that of the '60s.
