Best Song Ever

Now it's time for song opinions.

In mine, my favorite is Drops Of Jupiter by Trains.

'Atlantic' - Keane...

My favourite song is probably "Good Girl" by The Mad Capsule Markets.
Or maybe "This Is Love" by Hi-Standard.
Or maybe the Akira soundtrack.
Or maybe "Midi Surf" by The Mad Capsule Markets.

There's a difference between favorite song and the best song ever.

My favorite song is "Thirsty Boots" by Eric Andersen. (link is to a video of me performing it)

You've long been on the open road, sleeping in the rain
From dirty words and muddy cells, your clothes are smeared and stained
But the dirty words and muddy cells will soon be judged insane
So only stop and rest yourself and you'll be off again.

CHORUS:
Take off of your thirsty boots and stay for awhile
Your feet are hot and weary from a dusty mile
And maybe I can make you laugh, and maybe I can try
Looking for the evening and the morning in your eyes.

Tell me of the ones you've seen as far as you could see
Across the plains from field to town a-marchin' to be free
And of the rusted prison gates that tumble by degree
Like laughing children one by one, they look like you and me.

CHORUS

I know you are no stranger down the crooked rainbow trails
From dancing cliff-edge shattered sills of slander-shackled jails
Where the melodies drift up from below, as walls are being scaled
Yes, all of this, and more my friend, your song shall not be failed.

CHORUS

I think the "best song ever" would be Don McLean's "American Pie". I won't post those lyrics, because they're too long.

The Mad Capsule Markets - W.O.R.L.D

Back in black- AC/DC

Not sure if there is such a thing as "best song ever", people like so many different things. A personal fave of mine though would have to be Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd. I really like that song. I'm actually getting my friend a fishbowl for her b-day because she really likes the song as well. If you know the song, you'll know what I'm talking about.

Anything by W.A.S.P. of course.

Santeria by Sublime

I don't know what the best song is ... but chances are Holly Knight wrote it :p

Depends on what I feel like.
Currently I am addicted to Loser by Beck and Wrong Way by Sublime.

Bridge over Troubled Water - Simon & Garfunkel

Thats what i think is the best song by a neutral vote, but for me personally it would be Do For Love by 2Pac.

Where Will You Go by Evanescence... or Deep Water by Jewel :love:

Lets face it, favourites change so often and then as the times change and decades go past, even the best song 10 years ago becomes slightly naff with age! (A bit like fashions!)

Take for instance the top song for 1975, "Love will keep us together" by the Captain & Tenille. Still okay, but unlikely to be admitted! And the Doobie Bros, "What a fool believes" - great but a little dated. Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody was groundbreaking and is still popular. I personally love Simon Webbe's "No worries" at the moment, along with about 20 other favourites!

oh and Can't Stop is the greatest song imho.
