Best Song Ever

What in your opinion is the best song ever written?Mine has to be Metallica "Nothing Else Matters" classic.
apart from that,any song by my mates band Mourning Beloveth

Man, that question is too hard! The first thing that popped into my head was "The Best of Times" by Styx, but I think that's just because it has the word "best" in it...
And then I look again and see Metallica in your post, and I think "nono, One is better!", lol.
So I dunno...the best song depends on what I'm listening to at the time, kinda like my favorite snake is the one I'm holding :D

Hunger Strike... Temple of the Dog.... ;)

That's a tough one...my music tastes are so eclectic it changes all of the time...right now Matisyahu is up there...but also some Slayer, Korn, Taking Back Sunday, The Ramones....etc..

Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynyrd
By far the best song ever.

vision of love...lyrically it's how i view my life at the moment. almost graduating college...i can get what i want no matter how hard the times are...if i look to myself i will be able to obtain that goal (a career, money, bills, job, home, everything that is up in the air right now)

I don't think I could pick a 'best song ever'. At the moment I find myself listening to 'Wish I were the Rain' by Shedaisy a lot... on the other hand the song right after it I listen to is 'Down with the Sickness' by Disturbed. O.o
hmm.

Purple Rain : No questions asked.

Haha I have an Ankh tattoo on my arm and I can't tell you how many people ask me if I REALLY like prince **Shakes head**

Prince VS Jackson

Music : Jackson
Not being a Pedophile : Prince :-p

Self absorbed, who??? Mike Jones!!!

Listening to his "music" (If you want to call it that) you'd think he'd forget his name if it wasn't continually repeated.;)

-Jason

Well for me it is totally mood dependant but, if forced, I would have to say;


the theme from harry's game by clannad.

it might be sung in the gallic but it's heard in the language of the soul.

I got a wide taste in music,mostly metal related but love johnny cash also, willi nelson,the highway men.pure genious,,,i bene into metallica since i was 6 or 7 cause my brothers listened to them.Nothing else matters was played at my mates funeral and buriel after he was murdered,so since then its been my fav song.but aside from that,the song Highway man by The Highway men(johnny cash,willie nelson,waylon jennings and kris kristofferson) is definately one of my favs.

easy.

piano man -billy joel.

a song,i always liked was that one "Every step you take" i think thats the namem, i dont know who sang it originally but p diddy did a version of it.usually i hate that type of stuff but that song always stuck in me head.

No Frankie Goes to Hollywood RELAX votes? No Sugarhill Gang?

I'd really be hard pressed to pick a single one but always had a weakness for Opeth's "Demon of the Fall" and Led Zep's "Kashmir" definitely have to be up in that strata.

The Police!

("don't stand so close to me")



(yep - confessions of an 80s child :S)

oh yeah,if it was black metal or death metal it would be Dimmu Borgir "Mourning Palace" or Obituarty "im in pain" or "back to one"early obituary is class.

you can keep your hat on, joe cocker
or
you make me feel so young, frank sinatra

also depends on my mood as well,
really like thats life,

the list could go on..

Seven Bridges Road......The Eagles

Communication Breakdown - Led Zepplin

that is my personal favorite of all time

Wow that's a tuff one. My wife got me an Ipod for Valentine's Day and I have over 3000 songs and it has totally changed what I am listening to. I find my self listening to music I was into a long time ago as well as new stuff. Judas Priest to Johnny Cash to Pink Floyd to Tracy Chapman to Led Zep to Metallica to The Beatles, Stones, Black Sabbath, Wolfmother. Rage against the Machine, Guns n Roses, Sarah Mcloughlin, Red Hot Chili's, Ramones.......(it keeps going tust me)

I got an iPod for Christmas too. Now I'm listening to a very eclectic mix.


Probably my all time fave is American Pie by Don McLean, but then I start thinking about the Eagles, Queen, CCR, etc. Can ya tell I'm getting old? :-)

Folsom prison blues by johnny cash

Snake Farm by Ray Wylie Hubbard

ok, maybe not, but it is cool and it includes snakes!

Are you serious?!? :eek:

Mike Jones is possibly the worst rapper alive....there's about a billion songs better than Mr. Jones....why dont u listen to good rappers like Eminem, Jay-Z, Nas, etc.....Mike Jones revolves his career around making songs where he repeats the lines that he THINKS are good over and over and over again because he isn't skilled enough to make a song without doing that.......

anyway...my favorite RAP song is OutKast - B.O.B. (Bombs Over Baghdad) and my favorite ROCK song is Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody...:carrot:

Soul Bossa Nova by Quincy Jones is one of my many present favourites. Its probably more widely known as the Austin Powers theme song.

I am jamming out to these right now

Hinder, Lips of an angel.
Toby Keith, HonkyTonk U
Nickleback, Rock Star

Oooo hard question. :P

Maybe Mutter, Das Alte Leid, or Stein um Stein by Rammstein. Mutter's very sad but also poetic... Das Alte Leid is the same.
Stein um Stein has amazing lyrics and music, definently one of the pinnacles of Rammstein's musicianship.

Oh! And I just remembered Hurt by Nine Inch Nails. I prefer Johnny Cash's cover though. The raw emotion makes his cover so much more emotional than the original.

Ok, so that was more than one song, but hey, I love my Rammstein. :)

Oops, sorry, double post.

Pepper by the Butthole Surfers. It came out when my soul was being snapped in half, so maybe thats it.

-Nymphetamine, by Cradle of Filth (Wow, what an awesome song.)
-Sister of Night, by Depeche Mode
-Do You Love Me? By Nick Cave

Hmmm.. that's hard.

Deathbed, Relient K
Must Have Done Something Right, Relient K
Pleading the Fifth, Relient K ;)
Crayons Can Melt On Us For All I Care, Relient K (only click if you have iTunes, and since it's only a 12 second song, just click on it and it'll play)
Oh! Gravity., Switchfoot
Awakening, Switchfoot
American Dream, Switchfoot

Basically anything Relient K/Switchfoot. I have all their albums!

ah yeah Mutter is a classic,sad lyrics alright.yeah cash's version is better,his voice really suits the song,u can tell he is/was ill when he did them recordings but its the only way his voice would have suited them.the american recordings are top class stuff.

Don't really have an all time favortie but here are a few good ones...

Sublime-Don't Push
Catch 22- 9mm and a three piece suit
Pink Floyd- comfortably numb
A Global Threat- in the red
Metallica- battery

I listen to a wide range of music.

Yeah, it's very moving. June Carter had apparently just died before he recorded the song and he didn't have much longer himself. You can practically hear his soul being ripped in two.
"What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end"
Man, that stuff's hard.

One of the best has to be Beat it, off of the Thriller album. MJJ baby!!!!
