Greatest song ever

[davislove 0]

I think it's cool that we are getting some interesting topics on the Open forum. The general board is just spinning it's wheels as this ordeal plays out and the recruiting looks to be quiet for a while.

 

Back to the topic: greatest song.

 

I did this on another forum before where you just try to agree on a song. we know this is very subjective and everyone has different taste but it's interesting because you can tell alot about the person mostly their age. You can introduce songs you want considered but the goal is to find one universal record that all can live with and kill some time until the season starts

Sympathy for the Devil-The Rolling Stones

I'm terrible with music.

 

My favorite songs on my iTunes.

 

I Will Wait-Mumford and Sons

Let It Go-Frozen Soundtrack

That Was a Crazy Game if Poker-O.A.R.

Black Rock-O.A.R.

Out Loud-Dispatch

 

So there you. 5 songs to get this started, none if which probably belong in any discussion of all time best.

Speak Ya Clout-Gangstarr

B-Boys Makin' w/ Freak, freak -Beastie Boys

Swimteam Rastas- Step Brothers

Don't be afraid to post links. While not my fav song I think Booker T and the Mg's Green Onions is a universal jam.

Hmm, it would be tough for me to pick a best song of all time, but here are a couple of nominees for really awesome songs for one reason or another:

 

Lupe Fiasco - The Emperor's Soundtrack

Note the references to Nirvana and Warren G/Nate Dogg, not a huge rap fan, love Lupe Fiasco

 

Johnny Cash - God's Gonna Cut You Down (When the Man Comes Around is far more uplifting), I do wish someone would edit out Kanye West

Think we can spin this up like Rocket's thread with a Favorite Sad song, favorite mad song, favorite happy song, favorite all over song kind of thing? I am too much of a moody prick to pick the same thing twice.

Josie by Steely Dan

The Spirit of Radio by Rush.

Truth be told, as a huge lover of a lot of different genres of music (although primarily 70's), I find it impossible to name only one....however these days, I'm really liking anything covered by the lovely Jess Greenberg.

I'd have to say that Amazing Grace is the greatest song of all time.

 

Otherwise, I 2nd Baba O'Reilly

[OntarioIrish 7]

Baba O'Reilly

 

Really like that one as well, but would have to say "Suite Judy Blue Eyes", Crosby, Stills & Nash:

+1

 

Favorite part

 

I wrote him back a letter and I told him it was not the

Perfect country and western song because he hadn't said

Anything at all about momma or trains or trucks or prison or gettin' drunk

 

Well he sat down and wrote another verse to this song

And he sent it to me and

After reading it I realized that my friend had written the

Perfect country and western song

And I felt obliged to include it on this album

The last verse goes like this here

 

Well I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison

And I went to pick her up in the rain

But before I could get to the station in the pick-up truck

She got runned over by a damned old train

I know I already posted, but I was thinking about this song this morning while walking my dogs and I would tend to agree with you.

There are very few songs that Id imagine can compete with the connection that so many people have with Amazing Grace. Millions have known the song for generations.
