Best Song or songs ever??
What do you think is the best song or songs ever to be released?
Here is my favourite 5 of what I think are the best songs ever to be released. U2 - I Still Havent Found What I'm Looking For. ABBA - Dancing Queen. Procul Harum - Deeper Shade Of Pale. Vangelis - Chariots Of Fire Fleetwood Mac - Albatross. |

Oooh okay let's see. These are all long-term favourites:
Number One has to be : Mr Blue Sky - ELO http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjPqsDU0j2I And runners up: Redundant - Green Day http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kZ7YTTaZ_E It's A Sin - Pet Shop Boys http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-3jf3Vj850 Down Down - Status Quo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKe2OfXLxuc Angel - Massive Attack http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZsHN...rom=PL&index=2 End of the Line - The Travelling Wilburys http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JG-ww7JsnOA 9 to 5 - Dolly Parton http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzCm27R0mio Shine - Take That http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcBGLUfmtdg Do It Again - The Beach Boys (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQxdx-ScCvg) And an honourable mention must go to The Elements Song by Tom Lehrer, if only for the fact that he bothered to do it amuses me. It's here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmwlzwGMMwc Vastly edited to add links (so we can share!) and name what I think is the best song ever. |

I can't decide. 5 or 6 years ago I'd have said something completely different to what I would have said today. I change my mind all the time.

Mine are going to be totally predictable but:
Best song ever: Oasis- Live Forever- that song never gets old- still gives me goosebumps now. Best song of the decade (and 2nd best song ever IMO): The Libertines- Dont Look Back Into the Sun- most perfect song of the decade. 3rd Best: Ride- Vapour Trail- this is my favourite live video too! Other greats: The Jam- Town Called Malice The Smiths- Panic The Clash- I Fought the Law Lou Reed- Perfect Day Babyshambles- F*** Forever- this is EPIC live! Peter Wolfe feat. Peter Doherty- Darksome Sea (just release it dammit! And give Wolfie a songwriting contract- the guy is the biggest unrecognised musical genius in Britain.) (recording footage) Danny Williams- Moon River Peter Doherty and Dot Allison- Sheepskin Tearaway The Stone Roses- Made of Stone Primal Scream- Velocity Girl Sorry, I have insomnia and I got a bit carried away- these are just a few of the best songs ever. |
