The greatest song ever made.
 

in your opinion, what is the greatest song ever made?

i would have to say it would be Keep On Rocking in The Free World by Neil Young.

Beyond the Sea by Bobby Darin

Drunken Sailor


Really, Im not joking.

Recorded versions just dont do it justice, but if you ever hear this song performed live by anyone with some degree of talent, you'll understand. Talent isnt even nessesary really...just energy. Such an energic and fun song...I was lucky enought to see Great Big Sea perform this on stage. Breathtaking.

id say 'ballad of dwight fry' by alice cooper

"Disintegration" by the Cure

there is no greatest ..

but one of them is : Gimme Shelter - by the rolling stones.

The Greatest Song In The World by Tenacious D.

The Flight of Icarus by Iron Maiden

"Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald"

Gordon Lightfoot

really, it's kind of perfect. Tragedy, death, lyrics in Chippawa...come on!

Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd
Dream On - Aerosmith
Hotel California - Eagles
Buddy Holly song I can't remember the name of

Everyday? Rave On? True Love Ways? Peggy Sue? Maybe Baby? Oh Boy?

kind of a geek for Buddy Holly - I played him in the musical tour of "Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story"

I like all of those but I don't think they're what I'm thinking about.

You forgot 'That'll Be The Day', my favorite.

Rock The Fuck On man!!!!!

"What a Wonderful World" :)
For real...that's one song I'll ALWAYS stop and really listen too.

Not Fade Away?



my top 10 (working on my top 100 songs list)

1. "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd
2. "Mama Kin" by Aerosmith
3. "Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd
4. "I Don't Like Mondays" by the Boomtown Rats
5. "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen
6. "Walk This Way" by Aerosmith
7. "Won't Get Fooled Again" by The Who
8. "Redemption Song" by Bob Marley
9. "Keep On Rockin in the Free World" by Neil Young
10. "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin

"Herion" - The Velvet Underground

"Imagine" - John Lennon

I can't decide. There is no "Greatest" song. Just a bunch of great songs.

Flight of Icarus is awesome, but if we're talking Maiden here I have to go for The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner. That is an EPIC song. Yay Bruce.

Right now for me its Miss X by the MC5.

They were quite possibly THE greatest band ever..... well one of them at least. The real rock n' roll revolutionaries.

Remember Tomorrow is the best Maiden song. Nah Nah Ne Nah Nah :p

Yep, that's the one.


Good luck with that one, 100 songs has to be harder than movies.

Amazing how influential Buddy Holly was.

- The Beatles wanted a name that sounded like The Crickets
- John Lennon never wore his glasses on stage until he saw Buddy on tv
- The Rolling Stone's first single was a cover of "Not Fade Away"
- the Hollies are named after him

and it's made all the more impressive by the fact that there were 16 months from the time he had his first hit (That'll be the Day) and his death.

Pssshh....whatever.:p

Actually, I love them all.

Hallowed Be Thy Name is pretty great too.

cool top 10 ;)

i think dance of death is a really cool 1 but all their songs are great

"The Sound of Silence" by Simon and Garfunkel

or

"Freebird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd

Don't you forget Sun and Steel there, Olive Oyl:D

Hard to chose only one, here is my top 5


1-Welcome to the jungle-G 'n' R
2- The prophet song-Queen
3Sonic reducer(Rama lama fa fa)-MC5
4-Love removal machine-The Cult
5-You can't allways get wat you want-Rolling Stones

And the best song from Iron Maiden is Aces High (live version from Live after dead)

I see we got some Maiden fans in here!

Four words for you : Hallowed be Thy Name!!!

Iron Maiden has to be one of the gayest... not greatest bands of all time.

I have no idea how anyone likes them.

hey man , it could be worst if we were talking about poison.

Yeah, whatever :rolleyes:

Anyways, there's no accounting for taste, and I'm pretty sure I could say the same about bands you listen to...


"Imagine" - John Lennon"

Ah see, there you go!!!

**EDIT**


...just leave John Lennon out of your Iron Maiden dispute.

Dang, and I was going to say Unskinny Bop is the greatest song ever.

If you don't like it, too bad.

5.Scar Tissue-Red Hot Chili Peppers
4.M.A.D-Proof and Rude Jude
3.Heart Shaped Box-Nirvana
2.Kurt Kobain-Proof
1.Lounge Act-Nirvana

In case you did not understand, I was merely pointing out that saying shit like "this band sucks" simply goes nowhere. Its called irony...

I might hate John Lennon's music, but I'm not going to shove it down everybody's throat like that other guy did with Maiden, except of course when I reply to stupid comments.

Oh and yeah, nice meeting you too...

Calm down man...

I didn't mean for that comment to sound as bad as it did.





But no one picks on John Lennon.

The new Paris Hilton song

now thats a song i'd have sex to ...

if she was singing it while i was 'hitting it'

:D
