What Is The Best Song Of All Time To You?

[CaptainSpandex]

Hey everyone, Just wondering what everyone thinks is the best song ever written. Mine has to be Stairway To Heaven by Led Zeppelin, the lyrics are powerful, the guitar is exceptional and the solo is breath-taking.
Let me know what you think :)

[~Wayne~]

Gotta agree that is a very good song, but my personal favourite is November Rain by Guns n Roses, it has everything, abt 3-4 very good solo's, a dramatic song which rocks.
I do understand it isn't best according to others but I love it

Iv just typed Stair way to heaven in to download and its come up with 'reversed' and 'backwards' do you know why?

[Brianna.]

What about Bohemian Rhaposdy by Queen, eh?

Haha.

Stairway to Heaven in an amazing song...I couldn't pick a "best song", really.

[CaptainSpandex]

I have no idea! Just pick one that isn't any of the two I guess...

[Pearson]

Reversed its a Satanic Message! -

Forward - If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now. It's just a spring clean for the May queen. Yes there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on"

Reversed - "Oh, here's to my sweet Satan. he one whose little path would make me sad, whose power is Satan. He'll give those with him 666; there was a little toolshed where he made us suffer, sad Satan."

Wow this is actually intresting! Theres loads of them but this site probably has the best ones - http://jeffmilner.com/backmasking.htm

[~Wayne~]

I've heard that before, rather scary

[CaptainSpandex]

Lol, Nice to find out one of my favourite bands is influenced by satan...Ah well...I do wear a pentagram....

Summer of 69.

[timswfc]

billie jean - michael jackson

[PrincessAlice]

Duran Duran - Girls on Film

[Rushy2112]

2112 - Rush *goes to listen to it*

[Shane]

@ timswfc: I don't liek any Michael Jackson songs and never have, don't see what all the fuss is about tbh.

Vindicated by Dashboard Confessonal is one of my top songs. Opened my eyes to a new genre of music.

[Aussie_Luke]

Its to hard to choose a best song since there are so many great ones
Aerosmith- I dont want to miss a thing
Nirvana- Smells like teen spirit

[PrincessAlice]

DJ Sammy - Heaven (Candlelight Mix)

reminds me of wayne :) :i heart u

[NeEdLeZ]

Hmmm........ I still love Green Day's "Time Of Your Life (Good Riddance)"

[Adam18ImNotOkay]

My Chemical Romance - I'm Not Okay

[northern_star]

Dark Moor - A Life For Revenge

[JOY*]

Well, about the Led Zeppelin thing with the reversed song, it's scary I know, But still, Led Zeppelin is my number 1 favorite band(with Pink Floyd):P

Anyway, I don't think I can pick a favorite song, really. Every song is unique in its own way. (I'm talking about the ones I like). Every day my favorite song changes, For today, it's Two suns in the sunset - Pink Floyd. :D
Oh and Bohemian Rhapsody, what can I say a masterpiece...

[mandude]

2112 - Rush

[Leon]

Led Zeppelin is my number 1 favorite bandI LOVE YOU! :D

Led Zeppelin rule! One of my favourite bands, along with Oasis!

[lucille]

No. Stairway to Heaven is the most overrated song of all time.

In my opinion, Midnight in a Perfect World by Dj Shadow.

Appreciate

[Jenn]

Another One Bites the Dust - Queen

[Hilarylab]

i don't think iv'e ever heard Stairway 2 heaven...it rings a bell though...

[JOY*]

I LOVE YOU! :D

Led Zeppelin rule! One of my favourite bands, along with Oasis!

Aww33:) any Led Zeppelin fan is someone I love.:P

Stairway to heaven is not overrated, but too popular. Like Hotel california and all these songs that everybody knows, and everybody listens to. They get boring after a while.

[xMissIzzyx]

Sieze the Day by Avenged Sevenfold tbh :/
or Caliban - Nothing is Forever

[monarchhz]

Venom Leeches and the Hands of Rain by Disarmonia Mundi.

[Insomniac]

Wonderwall by Oasis ftw!

[Leon]

Wonderwall isn't even Oasis's best song.

[Flyleaf_Life]

Ooh... that's a really hard thing for me to pick. I have respect for a lot of the older stuff, Lynard Skynard, Tom Petty, Creedence Clearwater etc... but there are always new styles and great songs coming out... so I can't choose :P

[Popus]

Queen - The Show Must Gon On... The best song I've ever heard...

[dumdadum]

To me, The Alchemist by Acoustic Alchemy is excellent, but that's because as a child I was subjected to it day in... day out... I don't think my dad had any other tapes. I love the song nonetheless, whether or not it is the best one ever ever ever like, written, like, ever.

Aside from that, I tend to go through phases, so I can't choose.

Led Zeppelin are awesome, but Stairway to Heaven is oh so bland compared to the vast majority of their other stuff. Isn't it true the chord progression was nicked (with or without permission) from somewhere?

[Fez]

led zeppelin sucks

right now, i can't think of anything great of all time. but i'm listening to Guns N' Roses, welcome to the jungle, and it was pretty raw

[Reblez]

i'd like to change mine B.Y.O.B by System of a Down thank you

[Tami]

tony braxton = unbreak my heart

[Westsidaz]

[VraiCanon]

I am actually obsessed with Just Looking, Dakota, It Means Nothing and A Thousand Trees by the Stereophonics at the moment.

[nyx]

The entire Grace album by Jeff Buckley.
OR
Bob Marley - No Woman No Cry

[Nammy]

I don't have an all time favorite but have a current favorite. Here We Are by Gloria Estefan

[Rocksta]

It's really hard to choose the best song of all time, but I think it's gotta be a Led Zeppelin song.

[xUnlovedShawtyx]

fall for you by secondhand serenade!!!!

[ficti0n]

Bob Marley - No Woman No Cry

If it is a Bob Marley song it has to be redemption song. Definatly!

[nyx]

No man! No Woman No Cry everytime! The live version makes me cry, haha.

[Shane]

fall for you by secondhand serenade!!!!
Listening now. :D

[Buttons93]

Oasis - Wonderwall

[Locke]

Hmmm....It is hard to pick a favorite one. Yet, I'm going to have to go with "American Pie" by Don McLean. Its such a powerful song about the passing of an era in American histoy and it has catchy lyrics to boot... A <i>very</i> close second would be "All Along the Watchtowers" oringinally by Bob Dylan, but most famously covered by Jimi.

[Burias]

Well, I've never been a decisive person, so here are my Top 5 picks in categorized form:

Most Sentimental Song: "Fire and Rain" -James Taylor (It was my Dad's favorite song.)

Most Culturally Relevant: "Feed the Fire" -Steppenwolf
Alternate for above: "Another Day in Paradise" -Phil Collins

Best Instrumental: "He's a Pirate Remix" -DJ Tiesto

Most Powerful: "Caledonia" -Celtic Thunder

Best to sing along with: "Lookin' out my Back Door" -Creedence Clearwater Revival

[rosie1]

smells like teen spirit- nirvana,
live forever- oasis
burn one down- ben harper; says kiah
