I don't know if this has been done before, but what do you think is the best song ever?

Led Zepplin-Stairway to Heaven

"I want to conquer the world" by Bad Religion has got to be my number one favorite song of all times.    :)

'Break & Enter' by Prodigy is my fave song ever. And also 'Hella Good' by No Doubt, not only because it's a great song, but it has sentimental meaning to me as well    :)

The lovely Ms. Fog sent me this. I think it could be the best love song of all time.

Not for small children, pets, or the easily offended

i can't really decide. plus it changes anyway.
actually, since the whole album is just telling one story and all songs blend into the next song anyway, i'ld say:
the mars volta - de-loused in the comatorium

I tried to find the best song ever,when I had to decide which song I wanted to have played at my last school day, when I got my A-levels handed over. I finally chose 'the George Baker Selection - Little Green Bag', it's the title song from the film 'Reservoir Dogs'. This song has a lot of style and made me look cool (I guess mosst of my former schoolmates didn't like it too much because it's not a song, you can jump around and clap your hands to, but who cares).
Other songs I had in mind for that occasion where
'James Brown - It's A Man's World', 'Kool and the Gand - Jungle Boogie' and about fifty others. I can't tie myself down on one song.

its damn impossible for me to choose a song thats 'the best ever' but one song that'll always be a classic to me is "T.R.O.Y" by pete rock and C.L smooth.

My favourite song of all time would have to be:
U2 - Where The Streets Have No Name
The studio version (the one on The Joshua Tree) is nothing special but any live version is absolutly amazing.

Others which deserve and honourable mention would be:
U2 - All I Want Is You
Bon Dylan - Hurricane

Rather a cliché, isn't it? A lot of people don't even consider it to be Zeppelin's best song...

And as for Bob Dylan, I still haven't forgiven him for going electric.

Do I have to give an opinion now? I vote for Eye Level by the Simon Park Orchestra.

EDIT: Bob Dylan rant.

Eddie Money's 'Take Me Home Tonight' was always a good song when coming home during a sun set or at night with a passenger.

But answer this - how can you wake someone up inside? Do you cram an alarm clock in your body and let it ring? Or is it something really damn crazy to do? (Or is it a metaphor?)

Hooary!  I really like 'Bring Me To Life", and "Taking Over Me" the most of theirs, I think.  "Fallen" is their debut, right?  So it's hard to say they have the best song ever.

Actually listen to the song and maybe you'l figure out.  All of Evanescence's songs have great meaningful lyrics, pay attention to 'm.

Ok, now that I'm done replying to quotes, I have to say I don't think there is such thing as 'the best song ever'.  Too many good ones and people have too many opinions.  If I had to pick my personal 'best song ever' I'd have a tough time cause I don't know much about music anywhere past 1994.

Excerpt from Aisle 10:

I seen you at my job
you're carrying yourself so well
I made myself a promise
not to get emotional
as I remain stable(stable)
I take another glance at you
if we were at the disco (whoa whoa)
then I would have to dance with you
this isn't cool....

and in my lonely eyes
I see my self in eloquent strides
in a sharp tuxedo
here goes nothing to her.....

Hello Allison
I want to hold your hand,
I haven't been,
the same man since I saw you comin' in,
let's have a toast to the girl in aisle 10

Oh, I remember those Gorillaz guys- they did like one song I cared about, that "I've got sunshine in a bag" one- the only line I remember- my friends and I say it from time to time when we're in that situation. You're right, there are too many to chose from.

P.S. I'm listening to "Fallen" at this very moment- very second I'm listening to 'Tourniquet"  :)

hmm best ever thats a tuff call. Id say Blue Oyster Cult "Dont Fear the Reaper" was the best ever; close 2nd would be Tom Petty "Free Falling".

It is a bit cliche, but it is still a great song.

My vote is for "American Pie" by Don McClean.  Now that was his best song ("Vincent"?  What the hell is that?).

Thanks for reminding me. Their song Clint Eastwood is just awesome, together with the video. That's the song you were talking about. I also like Dracula. I don't know what it is about that song, but it just puts me in the zone.

There are many songs I like:
Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now - The Smiths - I like the lyrics to this one, and just... the way it's sung.
Sultans Of Swing - Dire Straits - Oh, a nice song to do air guitar to  :)

Billie Jean, or Beat It by Michael Jackson.

Song 2 by Blur and Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana are right up there too.

I have no idea...
a) what half these songs mentioned are  :hmpf:
b) and that trivial matter of what I think is the best song ever...

I have an idea, that probably it's by Queen.

But to coincide with the "...Who???" theme (if you have the same knowledge - or lack of - of mainstream music as me) then I would say one of the best songs I've heard is Passion by 1 Gaint Leap - a fast rushing song full of African singing and the end is great how adults singing in a choir slowly fades into children singing in a playground.
Most of the 1 Giant Leap album is fantastic music.  :)

Apart from that, most of the songs I hold very dear are mostly classical or soundtrack.

I love a lot of songs and it is unfair to choose one as the best of all time. So here I go...
It's one that nobody will have heard of: Lene Marlin, Unforgivable Sinner. I can never get tired of a song like that.  :)
I wish that I had lots and lots of votes then I could also put in Queen and Evanescance and stuff. :(
