I would pick Funeral For A Friend by Elton John.
The entire Goodbye Yellowbrick Road album is my favorite of all time.

I also really love Moondance by Van Morrison.

Classic Stones & Eagles are all good picks too!

 

[*BTMRR*]

Maybe not THE best ever, but...
Let it Be--the Beatles

 

[Mr. Pig]

Maybe not THE best ever, but...
Let it Be--the Beatles

I was just going to say this one also.

And also as another PP said: Hotel California by the Eagles.

My personal favorite is City of New Orleans by Arlo Guthrie

 

[Planogirl]

For Rock songs:
Pearl Jam "Black"
Nirvana "Smells Like Teen Spirit"
Metallica "Enter the Sandman"

And yes, "Freebird". And something from Pink Floyd but it's too hard to decide which one.

That's enough for now.

My all-time favorite other kind of song is "Killing Me Softly" from Roberta Flack.

DH, my cousin, and I are all debating what song is the best song ever. We've all come up with some pretty good offerings, so I thought I'd seek out some of your opinions.

Meatloaf Paradise by the Dashboard Light.

 

[nerdylightbulb]

I like "Your Love" by The Outfield.

Hotel California - The Eagles

I was also going to add something by The Beatles, but I can't pick one. So many incredibles songs.

 

[mdsoccermom]

"Born to Run" by Springsteen.

I agree---nothing tops the Beatles for me...

Cheaters, the lot of you. (or at least some of you hehehe)

You have to pick a song...can't make a blanket statement that ALL songs by X band are the best or so-and-so's album is the best. Not-to-mention, I didn't ask what your favorite song is. What is the best song of all time? While I answered that it was a toss up for me between the two I mentioned, neither of those is my favorite song. THAT honor goes to "You Spin Me Round" by Dead or Alive.

 

[MomNeedsVacay]

ok ok...then my vote would be One by U2

 

[sunnyday123]

Hotel California by The Eagles!!!!

 

[Robinrs]

Get Ready by Rare Earth... the LONG version!

And I had to add my personal fave, I Who Have Nothing by Tom Jones.

 

[bballmom56]

"I'm Proud to Be An American" by Lee Greenwood

It always gives me goose bumps and brings tears to my eyes - something about that chorus! And I'm not even a big country music fan.

Ok, ok! Guilty as charged!!

John Lennon's "Imagine."

Whew. That actually took a lot of thought. But that's my final answer.

DH, my cousin, and I are all debating what song is the best song ever.

Free Bird...Skynyrd (though I say any song over 7 minutes gets axed for "insisting upon itself"!)

Stairway failed my 7 minute rule. Too long and you get cut!

Did the rest of the committee (DH and cousin) adopt your suggestion for the 7 minute rule? Besides, countless rock song surveys can't be all wrong.

 

[powellrj]

I pretty much agree with the first list posted!

Just wanted to add a story. DS who is 19 got a job at our local arena this year parking cars. The perk of the job is he gets to see all the concerts. He played guitar for 7 years, but stopped playing a few years ago. He saw Eric Clapton play Friday night. He was blown away. He always liked him, but he said until he saw him live, he had no idea what he had been missing. He said all the other bands he had seen this summer had been good, but after seeing Clapton, he had no idea. He gets to see Santana in a few weeks. He is really excited to see him now too!
