Below is the random thought titled "Greatest Song Ever". Be aware that these thoughts may be based on opinion, and my opinion might not agree with yours. Also, the thought below may be based on mood, time of day, or any number of other factors. Please keep this in mind.
I'm fairly convinced that the greatest song ever written is "Stripped" by Rammstein. Sure, the original was done by Depeche Mode (or however you spell it), but the Rammstein version is just so much better. The whole electronic background is a perfect compliment to the guitars, and it just begs to be cranked.
Also excellent first date music. Put it on, and if she is scared, then she's not worth keeping.
| The greatest song ever written is by Tool, and it is called 10,000 Days. Not many will have heard it - those that have will understand. Comfortably Numb is a distant second, and possibly Search and Destroy comes in at third. Beyond that I couldn't call. | ||
| hey jude by the beatles | ||
| Everyone forgets how great my song, Baba O'Riley is. It has it all: a fantastic beginning, a fantastic chorus, and fabulous solos. Don't forget more than a feeling by boston, nirvana ripped off that riff. | ||
| I love that song who loving you especially when he was talkin about the girl | ||
| I'm tired of people saying modern music sucks - ever considered that even during the 70s, some thought the then-modern music sucked, & argued that the 50s had been the best? But then AGAIN, even in the 50s, many hated the 'passing fad' of rock n roll, & saw Elvis as the equivalent of, say Britney today. Scary huh? The moral?: History never feels like history when you're living through it. Naturally I can't argue with something like the MELODY of your 'favourite song' cos it's subjective; but we can certainly argue over the quality of the LYRICS. On that basis, I feel the song with the deepest lyrics is 'The River' by Missy Higgins. Feel free to disagree, but it's to me the most hauntingly beautiful lyrics of all time. It's not well known, so here's part of the chorus: Somebody's bed / Will never be warm again / The river will keep this friend [Random lines from the 1st stanza]: So heavy a heart for someone merely ten years old And when she reached the river, her knees began to shiver Behind her was a vision, a painful apparition of a darker world that no-one should know [My favourite part:] She dived beneath the water's icy skin hoping the cold would kill the smell of angry gin ... And beautifully she sank as, up river was the bank where some bodiless troubles would stay... As you can probably tell, it's a song about a 10-year-old who was tragically driven to suicide. I'd be intrigued about what lyrics anyone could possibly suggest that would top those. Thanks Melissa ("Missy" for carving a space in the Hall of Greatness of music, ever since music was born. | ||
| This is a cool song and page.Find me at myspace. | ||
| i disagree, because stairway to heaven was mentioned than any other. ur oppinion is silly (even though i do like november rain alot) | ||
| NOVEMBER RAIN!!! CLEARLY IS THE BEST SONG EVER! WHO AGREES ME, AND WHO DISAGREES ME AND WHY? NOVEMBER RAIN!!! | ||
| hello...you all seem to have forgotten a little ditty called 'mmm bop' by the legendary band composed of the golden-locked Hanson brothers. Represent! (Editor's notes: Word up, yo.) |
||
| In my opinion' the greatest songs ever are: 1. Stairway to heaven by Led Zeppelin 2. Little wing by Jimi Hendrix 3. Nothing else matters by Metallica | ||
| the greatest song ever is stairway to heavon you know why because for a fucken 14 year old im a rocker and who doesnt agree with me should eat my piss you fuckers!so shut the fuck up!
(Editor's notes: Huh?) |
||
| Eveyone has his favourite song, though we have to look at the numbers, the fact is that the album that sold the most, was White Christmas by Bing Crosby... more than 30 milions albuns sold in a few weeks... | ||
| the best song ever is californication and soul to squeeze and their latest song snow hey yo | ||
| obviously the greatest song ever is "Happy Birthday" every single person that speaks english knows the words and everyone has sang the song multiple times in their lives. if u've never sang it, then u need to get a friend and go to a birthday party. | ||
| The greatest song ever is Scar Tissue by Red Hot Chili Peppers. Second is Fallen Leaves by Billy Talent.Of course there's lots of people who have never heard this song...or singer for that matter...and will disagree with me but you still gotta listen before and if you reject it. Oh and of course i'm not 30 some years or older like most of you sound. | ||
| prolly the best song ever is "money maker" by Ludacris. When i listen to it i really feal at home and like i have a lot of friends. | ||
| no way Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix it is the single most greatest song ever and hes changed more peoples lives then anyother song put out. hell yeah Jimi Hendrix is the greatest | ||
| JIMI HENDRIX!!!!!!!!!!!! | ||
| Seems like everyone hear listens to classic rock and roll but i prefer some two-tone ska! i would say my favorites are A Message to You Rudy by The Specials Rudie Can't Fail by The Clash Point/ Counterpoint by Streetlight Manifesto | ||
| Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody, Queen - I want it all, Scorpions - Wind of change, KISS - crazy nights, Bon Jovi - you give love a band name, AC/DC - you shook me all night long, AC/DC - TNT, Apocalyptica - cover of nothing else matters, faraway. P.S. There are so many rock songs that it is hard to say witch is the best. PEOPLE PUT THERE SOULS IN THERE SONGS SO YOU CAN'T JUDGE THEM. :) | ||
| G-Unit thats a really stupid thing to say... If "this ain't a scene" is the greatest song ever, then will it be mentioned in 5 years time on this blog??? I look at the oppinions posted a few years ago, and ppl mentioned songs that are now concidered "old" and "outa-date". Yet they thought they were the greatest at the time. your song is exactly the same. I say that fad ppl and teenagers who know NOTHING SHOULD NOT SUBMIT THEIR COMMENTS ON THIS BLOG. do not call anyone stupid because they have more musical knowledge than you, or because old music requires SOME taste to enjoy. Oh, and by the way, seeing as STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN was mentioned BY FAR more than any other song in good or bad light on this blog, that makes it the greatest... and how can u say led zeppelin "is a poof" if u don't even know that it's a Band of four members? or that their 4th album is the best-selling rock album ever??? Get your facts straight buddy. Don't mess with the classics | ||
| R U guys serious!! GEEZUS U FRIG HEADS ARE LIVIN IN THE 80'S OR WENAV THE HELL LEDDIE ZEPPE WAS OR WATEVA HIS NAME IS. SORRY TO TELL YOU BUT HES A POOF... UNLUKY GUYS BEST SONG IN THE 2000's!!! GOT TO BE.. MM TOUGH CHIOCE ANY FALLOUT BOY SONG... MOST LILE Y THIS AINT A SCENE | ||
| ..................................when the children cry......... | ||
| the greatest song ever is by the way!!! led zapplin sucks!! | ||
| You guys are really bad and suck at choosing which one is the best and which one is the worst...In this case..We're arguing which song is the best song...I have many favorite songs as Hotel California,Vulnerable, A shoulder to cry on and White Flag....I think for those who likes pop or slow rock, they must like this song .....Lastly, I think there's nothing to argue about. As we know that music is the eye of beholder.. | ||
| FREE BIRD!!!! | ||
| I do like rammstein but I didn't like it when they spoke in english in "stripped" because either the rhythm was too slow or the singing was too slow but it just dragged too much for me, although I liked some of the electronica in the song. I think that anything by Daft Punk is the greatest but there are alot of classics that swoop very close to them. | ||
| snowboy that rodeo song suks balls | ||
| Do you know that this site is a googlewhack. locamotive spaniard (Editor's notes: No it's not. That query gets 6 results, not just this page. And I was so excited too...) |
||
| Here are the five best songs ever written. 1. Eleanor Rigby by the Beatles....wow 2. stairway to heaven because its so good and if you say it sucks you are tasteless. Enough said. 3. Revolution by the Beatles. They are untouchable when it comes to lyrics. 4. Bohemian Rhapsody because Queen is awesome. 5. Scenes from an italian resteraunt by Billy Joel..youd agree if u listened to it ps. Nirvana and Guns N Roses suck. There only real good song is live and let die and thats a cover of paul mcCartney | ||
| whoever likes rap can lick my sack!! | ||
| Obviously everyone that has commented needs to google "the rodeo song". Seriously, take a listen and tell me it doesn't say it all | ||
| It depends really, I think that the best music is The Monkees-Daydream believer. It is great, the best pick me up music possible, play it to someone and they will be in tears of happiness by the chorus | ||
| people need to stop arguing this...it is a world known and accepted fact that "stairway to heaven" is the greatest song ever created. | ||
| 5.Nirvana- Smells Like Teen Spirit 4. Beatles- In My Life 3. Led Zepplin- Stairway to Heaven 2. Sam Cooke- A Change is Gonna Come/The Doors- Touch Me 1. Massive Attack- Unfinished Sympathy. No One outside of europe has ever heard this song but mtv2 in the UK rated it the greatest song of all time and I have to agree. I hate techno, but this one song hits me harder than any other. All of these songs transcend genre and can touch you in so many different ways. | ||
| me so horny 2 live crew | ||
| ok guys, here is the aweful truth. this modern punk rock stuff is utterly useless and is only good for melting your brain. most of those songs just have like 3 bar chords repeated over and over again. my favourite songs ever are, 1. Stairway to Heaven. 2 Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen 3. Hotel California by the Eagles 4. Imagine by John Lennon 5. tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton 6. Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple 7. Voodoo Chile by Jimi Hendrix 8. House of the Rising Sun by The Animals 9. Apache by The Shadows and finally... 10. Locamotive breath by Jethro Tull | ||
| while stairway to heaven is freakin awesome, still not the best song. Top 5: 5: Do You Call My Name - Ra. 4: You Know You're Right - Nirvana. 3: Acquiesce - Oasis. 2: Tie between Witheraway and Power Tool both by 40 Below Summer 1: Ramble On - Led Zeppelin | ||
| people keep saying Stairyay to Heaven is the greatest song of all time because it is ...only retards who think bands like weird al and jimmy buffet are in the same league as led zep dont get it...cuz...theyre retarded | ||
| Gotta be either Down with the Sickness or Ten Thousand Fists, both by Disturbed. Most people in public will recognize DwtS by sound, not by name. Listen to the beggining 30 seconds of it, and you'll probably recognize it, too. Led Zepplin's ok, but Kashmir is by far better then Stairway to Heaven. | ||
| stairway to heaven sucks, its the gayest song ever.......how do ppl like that song. for whoever said they liked it......they have no taste. i rather have some pina coladas. if yu like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain! hel yea | ||
| the greatest song ever is Unholy confessions by Avenged Sevenfold, or Pull Harder on the Strings of your Martyr. better than any crap like aerosmith and rammstein who are both crap to be honest | ||
| I really like some of the english songs from the Kindom Hearts 1 and 2 games wich are mostly by Utada Hikaru. I also dont understand why people keep saying Stairway is the greatest...WELL IT ISNT. Weird Al also has some pretty funny things. | ||
| Quit arguing- I will tell you the Top 5 5. Bohemian Rhapsody-Queen 4. When Doves Cry-Prince 3. Sweet child o mine-Guns n Roses 2. Hey You-Pink Floyd 1. Stairway to Heaven-Led Zeppelin | ||
| th greatest song ever is probably mrs. robinson by simon and garfunkel or sound of silence by simon and garfunkel...also maybe blind man by aerosmith | ||
| Every rose has its thorn is undoughtably the best song ever made | ||
| "Misirlou" by Dick Dale and His Del-Tones -- who needs lyrics when you have the most incredible guitar playing EVER? | ||
| stairway to heaven for sho...but shoutout to the clash and "rock the casbah", also a really good song. Bi the way, i like the name mitzvah. | ||
| McKenna thank you for finally putting up some country. How about Poncho and Lefty-Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard, and as one of my friends explained to me "Nine inch Nails merely wrote the song hurt, Johnny cash re-made it and performed it to perfection" And what about Simon and Garfunkel? "Cecilia" or "The Boxer" come on guus. and there is no way music now compares to what it used to be. Music had it's geniuses and then came Rap and Punk Rock. | ||
| Undisputed here, if there is a possible top 5, it is: 1. November Rain - G N' R 2. Cavatina - Stanley Myers 3. Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin 4. Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd 5. Imagine - John Lennon | ||
| NOVEMBER RAIN BY GUNS N ROSES AND LOVE REIGN OER ME BY THE WHO. THEY ARE BOTH WAY UNDERRATED. BEST GUITAR EVER BY SLASH IN NOVEMBER RAIN AND BEST VOCALS EVER BY ROGER DALTREY IN LOVE REIGN OER ME | ||
| honestly, you may laugh, but in my opinion the greatest song ever written is "float on" by modest mouse.... no matter whats wrong in my life, i throw that album to that song... and i get happy | ||
| Anybody remember a little song called Gimme Shelter? A truly underrated song | ||
| the greastest song ever well i guess it just depends on the day today i would say anything by led zeppelin but tomorrow i may tell you iggy pop so today the greatest song would be royal orleans off of the presnece album probally their best album but did'nt get much credit i've been listening to it alot lately so right now thats the greatest song but like i said it'll change | ||
| I reckon that there should be a greatest song for each decade. 60s- pinball wizard- The who 70s- stairway to heaven- led zeppelin 80s- the trooper- iron maiden 90s- walk- pantera 00s- through fire and flames- Dragonforce But overall i still go for Stairway to Heaven for number 1 | ||
| ELVIS LIVES- Elvis was never even the best in his genre - Johnny Cash outdoes elvis every bit of the way. Long live Led Zeppelin!!! | ||
| stairway to heaven is an amaizing song... dont know how every rose has its thorn got up there but... how about a greatest guitar player ever? | ||
| Bush - Glycerine, has been my favorite song since i saw Bush singing this song in the rain. | ||
| Why are people getting so enraged over something that is dependent on personal taste only. No-one is wrong here. | ||
| Please don't lynch me when I propose: * Kashmir by Led Zep (no, not Stairway!!) * Will You Love Me Tomorrow? - Carole King/Shirelles * Not Dark Yet - Bob Dylan * Time Has Told Me - Nick Drake | ||
| ALL YOU GUYS ARE IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stairway to Heaven is THE BEST SONG IN THE WORLD! just think about it after Led Zeppelin put this song out no other band would touch it or even try to play it because they knew that they all sucked and didn't wat to mess this up CLEARLY this is the best song I mean anyone else here who plays guitar, Would you go and play this song in front of millions of people knowing that Zeppelin did it and rocked it I mean all the rock bands in the world tried to do this song and they could not so all you people who say otherwise BLAHBLAHBLAH Stairway is the best, KNOW IT and Get over It now -Spaniard (Editor's notes: Uh, OK...) |
||
| I couldnt be bothered reading everything above but has anyone mentioned John Lennon's Imagine, now thats a fuckin classic. awesome lyrics, another good song is procul Harem A whiter shade of pale. another great is for what its worth by buffalo springfield. i dont know the greatest ong but Imagine by John Lennon is the best i can think of | ||
| any song by elvis presley is clearly the worlds greatest song i.e. suspicious minds a timeless classic and though everyone seems to think Elvis is dead he is not his heart and soul live on in his music and in our lives so anyone who says anything more crap likt BLOODY STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN should go try brake a brick over your head its crap get over it anyone who had their own opinion could see that one retard likes it an his friends follow that so duz everyone else stop follosing the crowd people get an opinion. jeeze. | ||
| The greatest song is "Mad World" by gary jules or maybe something from linkin park. | ||
| Of course, whole world is subjective - we see it in the way, we want it to be. ANd yet, after criterias like best music, best lyrics and harmony, the best song ever is either STairway to heaven or High Hopes by Pink Floyd | ||
| Stairway to Heaven. If not 4 the way it sounds but the skill of those 4 blokes who did it. Name me 1 better vocalist than Rob Plant( dnt say freddy mercury) better guitarist than Jimmy Page ( dnt say Hendrix) as gd as John Paul Jones on Bass ( dnt say Steve Harris) or a faster, louder or crazier drummer thn John Bonham (dnt say Keith Moon). All those who dnt like it just dnt understand it or the band itself. Those guys created rock n roll (dnt say the beatles did) | ||
| According to www.rankopedia.com, Stairway to Heaven is the greatest song ever. | ||
| There is no question...the greatest song ever....FreeBird by Lynyrd Skynyrd. Stairway to Heaven is a close second.... but nothing is better than FreeBird | ||
| There is no universal greatest song ever, it's just what you think is the greatest. | ||
| the best song ever is Ooh La La by faces it is an awesome song dont be fooled by the name its not a chick song | ||
| i think the 3 greatest song's ever are Feal Good INK by Gorilaz, Steady, as She Goes by The Racounters, and Dani California by the red hot chili pepers. my aim is pbfguppyB | ||
| poet laureate II by Canibus is the greatest ever | ||
| The Who - Baba O'Riley The Kinks - You Really Got Me Guns N' Roses - Welcome to The Jungle Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody My Top 4 | ||
| I hear tonnes of people saying Bohemian Rhapsody and Stairway, and while those are certainly kings of classic rock, I must say Freebird is the best song ever. | ||
| AS A KIWI FROM NEW ZEALAND, A POWERFUL SONG THAT WENT TO NO 1 WORLD WIDE BY CROWDED HOUSE, I REMEMBER THIS WAS THE SONG PLAYED ON MAGNUM PI WHEN THEY SPLIT, NEIL AND TIM FINN ARE GODS DOWN UNDER, GREW UP IN A FARMING COMMUNITY WITH A POPULATION OF APROX 5,000 PEOPLE. KIA KAHA | ||
| What about the "Böse Onkelz" or the german Rammstein songs? Don't know the good ones, not?
What about "Mutter" "Engel" "Rammstein" "Rosen Rot" "Reise Reise" all from Rammstein??
The song from Rammstein - Amerika sux *lol* (Editor's notes: Actually I like "Amerika". Mutter is one of the best, Engel is OK though I prefer the mixxed English/German version. The original version ("Trüffelschwein" is better. Gotta love Reise Reise.) |

| daft punk-around the world | ||
| The Fray, "How to Save a Life" | ||
| Im writing a 7 page final for my Philosophy of Music class right now defending Bohemian Rhapsody as the greatest song ever. You can't list a band as the greatest song ever. "Anything by the beatles" is not an answer. I can;t beleive someone actually said "Dancing Queen" by ABBA... Du Hast sucks! | ||
| Stairway to Heaven is awesome, probably the greatest. but i dont think u've heard Aadat, but its THE GREATEST. | ||
| the greatest song ever well thats easy LIKE A ROLLING STONE BOB DYLAN. And every one knows that. | ||
| yeah idk stairway to heaven is a great song but theres better off the top of my head id have to go with highway to hell by AC/DC just because of how sweet and awsome and catchy and everything that song is and i mean you cant help but like it. | ||
| you know im surprised that there isnt more hendrix up there. i mean come on guys i dont know if anyone will ever top jimmy and thats just the way its always going to be. i think someone said dazed and confused so hats off to them . the only real thing is which of hendrixes songs and im pretty split between KILLING FOOR and GYPSY EYES but yeah there are a lot of other good songs out there and so im betting im wrong but meh. l | ||
| Steriogram- Walkie Talkie Man is the catchiest song ever......but Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelelin is the Greatest song ever!!!!! | ||
| anything by the Beatles deserves to be called the greatest song ever. they are the best band of all time | ||
| I believe the Greatest song ever should be the most copies ever sold not personal favorites as most have written hear. My personal favorite is "The Weight" by: The Band | ||
| Jackson 5 - I want you back or Michael Jackson - Billie Jean nothing beats them 2!!!! | ||
| Theres greatest songs from every aspect of music Love = Seal - Kiss From A Rose Rap = Eminem - Lose Yourself Old School Rock = Black Sabbath - Iron Man 90's = KCI and JoJo - All My Life etc etc etc Although the best song ever has to be Oasis - Wonderwall or Oasis - Champagne Supernova | ||
| Well welll well........... Alot of honorable songs mentioned, but I'm affraid you have all overlooked the greatest song- 'Keep on Rockin' in the Free World' by none other than the greatest song writter of all time, Neil Young. | ||
| have you no musical taste the best song ever is Carmina Burana by Carl Orf | ||
| O Fortuna by Wagner, argument over. Rock On!! | ||
| billy joel piano man | ||
| the greatest song in the world is either pink floyd another brick in the wall or wish you were here. It isnt bon jovi n its my life he is just a comercial artist he isnt a true rock and roll star like floyd or thin lizzy, i no! you dont | ||
| OK yeah Stairway to heaven is a great song dont get me wrong but come on? "If theres a bustle in your headgerow? what the hell does that mean and i think that nothing rap or country could be a truly great suck because they are crap but i think that the best song ever or at least one of them is Free Bird | ||
| Fairytale of New York - Pogues/Kirsty MacColl. Vocals recorded seperatley in different locations without the others fill. Not the best vocals, nor the best tune, definately not the best music. BUT without a doubt a song which touches and thats the point I guess. | ||
| Damn!!! forgot to add anything by prince musically makes StH look like a nursey rhyme | ||
| COULD YOU BE LOVED - BOB MARLEY.. cannot not dance when that song starts up | ||
| there is no such a greatest song. | ||
| lol this is kinda funny 2 years l8a u lot r still arguiing, but i think its quite certainly its not stairway to heaven, its the most overrated song i have ever heard, maybe if i had sniffed 10 ounces of coke it might be ok, but noway the best song ever!
but i hav to say, probably smells like a teen spirit as an obv classic,
bt ma fav since i heard it has been mr brightside by the killers!
and Karma Police is also a very good song! (Editor's notes: No one is arguing...) |
||
| The Best SONG EVER IS BACK AT ONE by anyone. WOOOO | ||
| wouldn't - musically - the greatest 'song' be a classical pieces, by Motzart, or Bheethoven (sorry if i spelt it wrong) or another classical composer. I don't think any recent songwriter could compare to the musical ingenius those writers had (Editor's notes: The only reason that the Classical composers are considered "the best" is because they were "the first". Not that their music is somehow bad of course, but that's most likely the reasons...Also no one is really composing much anymore. Artists are more concerned with writing that 4 minute long song to sell...) |
||
| THE GREATEST SONG EVER IS THE GOOD OLD DAYS BY THE LIBERTINES IT HAS TO BE I WILL ALSO ACCEPT ANY OTHER SONGS BY THE LIBERTINES | ||
| kinks waterloo sunset | ||
| Although i do agree the question the greatest song ever is subjective and a personal preference not to be criticised by others i have to say Rammstein are a truely awful band and in the excellently put words of you Americans SUCK ASS. Radioheads Karma Police is a fav of mine but the ultimate is the cults intro to she sells sanctuary, wicked!!. | ||
| Im 16 and music is my life!id listen 2 nyting even pakistani folk music!i no there is no greatest song ever!its impossible 2 tell but stairway is pure genius and i think every1 shud appreciate that no matter how ignorant or how knowledgable they are!this song was made by 4 of the most talent musicians ever 2 walk the earth!the first time i listened 2 this i was 8!i was listenin 2 loads of crap like linkin park and limp bizkit but when i heard this i just didnt no wat 2 tink!it blew me away!it is so technicaly gud,appeals to commercial music listeners and changes lives 4ever!!!!! | ||
| By far the greatest is Bob Marley - No Woman No Cry. | ||
| Helter Skelter is rockin | ||
| In my oppinion, the three best songs ever had to be: 1. SWEET CHILD O` MINE - GUNS` N ROSES 2. WIND OF CHANGE - SCORPIONS 3. STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN - LED ZEPPELIN Romanians have good tastes at music! Rock rulz!! Peace! | ||
| If you dont' agree with Stairway to Heaven, then don't even talk to me Hands down, without a 2nd thought, Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin is the greatest song ever done. But of course we all have an opinion | ||
| Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin by far is the greatest song ever.............NO CONTEST | ||
| LAST KISS is one of the best songs ever.It is impossible to pick just one song!!! | ||
| Sympathy for the devil (Rolling stones) or the wicker man (Iron maiden) | ||
| Let it be, by the Beatles in easily the best song ever | ||
| 1.STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN-Led Zeppelin How is it possable to argue its with out dowt the greatest stairway to heaven changed my outlook on music its the best 2.bohemian rhapsody-queen 3.november rain-guns n roses(slash makes that song wot it is really the solos so powerful thats a man who dosn't to play fast to inpress)an i think the solo at the end is the best guitar solo ever its the not the most complex or the fastest solo ever played but i would defenatly have to say its the best guitar solo ever it just captures emotion better then any song bit of guitarin ive ever heard But ye the greatest song ever is STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN!! | ||
| oh, btw...I just listened to Stripped...OMG...you must be on something serious to think that is even CLOSE TO THE GREATEST SONG...OMG...It's not garbage..but it's only been done by ohhhh 139 other rock bands...get some ears and send me some of what you are smokin! | ||
| OK, now that all the kids have picked a song that was released in the last 20 years completely forgetting the fact that music didn't start in 1985! It is well known FACT, that the best ROCK BALLAD/SONG ever done is IN FACT STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN. If anybody says otherwise they are under the age of 25 and haven't lived enough to know...or are just plain musically challenged! *foot note: trying to pick the best song is like asking what the best FOOD to eat is..it's preferance, but if you asked every person alive in England and North america today what the best song ever is, you would find that you get a beetles song, an elvis song, a patsy Cline song, etc....but overall, hands down, you'd get a majority saying Stairway to heaven..THIS IS CASE CLOSED!!!!! Nirvana????? GNR????? are you guys on frickin glue??? Best ever OMG you haven't lived! | ||
| The 3 main songs discussed on this page are Stairway to heaven- Led Zeppelin Estranged- Guns N' Roses Stripped- Rammstein I would have to say that after listening to all of them that the best one is..................Dont fuckin know sum1 tell me! | ||
| 1. Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody, 2. Jimi Hendrix - Little Wing, 3. Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird, then Guns N' Roses with Sweet Child O' Mine and November Rain ;) | ||
| Ghetto Gospel and Changes by 2 pac has to be the 2 best songs i ever heard | ||
| :D to all the people who have mentioned guns n roses, 'estranged' has to be one of the best songs ever. It's an epic, shame it's relatively unheard of. 'Ashes to ashes' by David Bowie is also great. | ||
| no matter where i'm at, who i'm with, etc. if I hear a song and then that is the ONLY thing in the world that matters-turn it up and get in the groove...... LA Woman, Symathy for the Devil, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Won't get Fooled Again, Under My Thumb, American Girl, The Weight, Like A Rolling Stone... WOW!! i could go on for days!! | ||

To feel a connection with the artists involved - hence I really dig the many, many hands that joined led zeppelin at the crossroads to perfection. - and as for those of you getting at little hot under the collar as regards your #1 song choice - Chill - a little knowledge is a dangerous thing " And I'll Know My song well - before I start Singing" - someone cool once said that..

| list of top three greates songs ever: Bohemian Rhapsody-Queen Stairway to Heaven - led zeppelin Civil war - G 'n' R | ||
| okay .. i know its the greatest song and not the greatest songS BUT its impossible to just single one out so here is a small list of some of the catchiest songs (not nessesaraly the greatest) EVER RECORDED. . you give love a bad name - Bon Jovi Renegade - Styx i believe in a thing called love - The Darkness turn the beat around - Gloria Estefan (sorry if i spelled her name wrong) more than a feeling - Boston who i am hates who ive been - Relient K don't stop believing - Journey learning to fly - foo fighters high of 75 - Relient K i want it all - Queen aint no mountain high enough - Marvin Gaye crazy - Gnarles Barkley (once again, if i spelled it wrong im sorry) all for you - sister hazel what you say - Dave Matthews these aren't that catchy but they are GREAT songs of course, stairway to heaven - led zeppelin chasing cars - Snow Patrol | ||
| the best song ever HAS to be kiss me by sixpence none the richer (R.I.P) xx | ||
| the greatest song ever is 'chaing cars' by snow patrol. It's the most open and pure love song ever written. | ||
| Noone even mentioned any songs by billy joel..now i find that pretty damn bad....now i have four songs that i think are worthy enough and they are not in order.....stairway to heaven,piano man,you may be right i may be crazy, and mary janes last dance | ||
| Busted - Thunderbirds are go! the song has everything, lyrics, great beat, fast tempo, those boys are pure genius! | ||
| stairway to heaven is obviously the best song ever....no arguements....LED ZEPPELIN KICKS ASS | ||
| Nothing else matters from Metallica!!! | ||
| sweet child o mine by guns n roses and then u have to have wherever i roam by metallica the solos in these songs r ssoo quality | ||
| i thinlk that the songs novmber rain n sweet child o min eby guns n roses are awesoemand that th esons enter sandman and also wherever i may roam by metallica rule too because the guitar riffs are quality within those songs man | ||
| Anything by Frank Sinatra!!!!! for a song to be even considered to be the greatest song ever it has to be tested by time eveything else is just a hit. | ||
| why every song is english qhat about jacques brel with ne me quittez pas... or mon plat pays... | ||
| All of the people who say Stairway to Heaven is not the greatest song ever are either the most retarded person ever or have not heard it . | ||
| I would simply say that all the Beatles classics could be reveered as the best song ever. Suite Judy Blue Eyes by CSNY, Stairway To Heaven, Good Times Bad Times, Over The Hills and Far Away (most softer songs by them) by Zepp is up there. The Wind Cries Mary by Jimi Hendrix maybe? But overall, mostly anything Beatles did...There isn't one best song though | ||
| ok fair play alot of talk goign on abotu stairway to heaven it is a great song i love it but i can see from ova ppls point of few about how boring it is if u find it boring just skip it forward abit but no one here has mentioned the ultimate song which is should i stay or should i go - the best band in the world eva the clash also if any of u looking for a decent song llook for motherfucker from hell- the datsuns | ||
| Mr Tambourine Man - Bob Dylan NOT the Byrds | ||
| I'd say Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You by Zepplin and Let It Be by the Beatles | ||
| ALRIGHT IF YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE GREATEST SONG IS CONSIDERING YOU HAVE SCROLLED THROUGH THIS ENTIRE PAGE! THE BEST SONG EVER IS IMAGINE BY JOHN LENNON AND I THINK THAT ANYONE WHO THINKS THAT IT IS STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN IS JUST A FOLLOWER OF WHAT EVERYONE ELSE SAYS. SO HERE'S MY LIST OF THE BEST SONGS. 1.IMAGINE BY JOHN LENNON 2 STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN BY LED ZEPPELIN 3 BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY BY QUEEN 4 LET IT BE BY THE BEATLES 5 LIKE A ROLLING STONE BY BOB DYLAN 6 SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT BY NIRVANA 7 COMFORTABLY NUMB BY PINK FLOYD 8 SATISFACTION BY THE ROLLING STONES 9 LAYLA BY ERIC CLAPTON 10 PURPLE HAZE BY JIMI HENDRIX THAT IS THE LIST OF THE 10 BEST SONGS OF ALL TIME DEAL WITH IT! | ||
| creed - with arms wide open best song ever | ||
| My favourite song is Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody, which in my opinion is the greatest song of all time. Other great songs are: When the Sun Goes Down – ARTIC MONKEYS, London Calling – THE CLASH, Yellow – COLDPLAY, Lemon Tree – FOOLS GARDEN and Mad World – GARY JULES. There are so many great songs that there is no such thing as the greatest so I leave with the quote “without music, life is a journey through a desert.” | ||
| STARSHIP - WE BUILT THIS CITY!! BEST SONG EVER!!!! | ||
| My 100 percent opinion on the greatest lyrical masterpiece ever is "Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol. Freaking amazing!!! | ||
| Just incase anyone scrolls ALL the way down to read this i would like to say that stairway to heaven (led zeppelin) is AMAZING i also LOVE hotel california (Eagles) .. but they're not that catchy.. so the greatest song ever would have to be Renegade by Styx | ||
| lick my nob by ur all gay | ||
| As you people argue over stupit topics calling each other names, I will ring in with a song you great rockers haven't heard because you are all want to be's, prove your rockness by telling me who wrote the greastest song ever written, "Evolution To A Mist", this is a deep profound totally true life song for right now. | ||
| no particular order: stairway to heaven november rain hey joe estranged freebird and has anyone seen the tribute slash did of hey joe at the uk music hall of fame or something like that. That was amazing. | ||
| Jethro Tull's Aqualung :] | ||
| the greatest song ever is clearly anything by Hilary Duff and anything from high school musical. those are the best songs ever. | ||
| THE GREATEST SONG EVER. GREAT WRITING FROM THE GREATEST LYRISIST EVER BOB DYLAN | ||
| You guys are all right ! Those are all GREAT songs !!!! But the GREATEST one of ALL time has to be **i dont wanna miss a thing** by AeRoSmItH !!!!!!!! :D well peace .........and BE HAPPY ! ~<>:HyPeR:<>~ | ||
| most music from the 60's and 70's is AMAZING, too haard to pick but its defintly somthing from that time. | ||
| i disagree with every 1 uv u mofoz.rock sucks. | ||
| Definitely NOT Smells Like Tenn Spirit I've got no idea what Kurt was singing Imagine he alive, the song wouldnt be the greatest ever the song is crap I like Queen, Guns n Roses, the doors etc. and also some of U2 and Beatles but not anyhting from Nirvana | ||
| personally i feel that twisted sister - i wanna rock or judas priest - hellrider are good songs im not sayin that these songs r the best eva but i feel that they r the sort of song that u wanna jus crank up :) | ||
| From the begining(emerson ,lake&palmer) to me the best song ever. in second theres a bunch, fist that comes to mind is, where ever i may roam by METALICA. | ||
| 1.Stairway to Heaven 2.Free Bird 3.Smells like Teen Spirit | ||
| Has guns and roses ever sang this song that anyone knows of? | ||
| I dont think there is such a thing as "the greatest song ever" as everyone will have a different opinion as to what it is. I think that Stairway to Heaven is a brilliant song but I also think that Nirvana made some really good music as do Radiohead and the White Stripes. But all this music is different and its hard to compare. If I was pressed to answer I would go with either Stirway to Heaven or Heart Shaped Box although if I had a long think there are probably plenty of songs I like better than those. | ||
| greatest music.........the style of singing..........what a music of guitre | ||
| That is a relay hard one, and there is rellay no answer. I guess it depends on what you want in a song. But if i had to chosse it would be "livin on the edge" (aerosmith). Most of you have most likley never heard this song but please do it is an awosme song it gets me pumped up for what ever i am doing. | ||
| KoRN - Here to stay BEST ROCK SONG George Michael - Jesus to a Child GREAT George Michael - Mothers Pride GREAT George Michael - Cowboys and Angels GREAT | ||
| U RETARDS! its definatley Stairway to Heaven by Led-Zeppelin! ITS A FRIGGIN CLASSIC! SOME OTHER GOOD ONES BY ZEPPELIN ARE; *Kashmir *Achilles Last Stand *Carouselambra *Rock~n~Roll *Misty Mountain Hop and Whole Lotta Love! | ||
| the best song ever has got to be angel by robbie williams | ||
| i agree i hate rap modern music sucks i like to listen to bob dylan and jimmie hendrix and jefferson airplane, simon and garfunkel but i admit i do like nirvana and the strokes. SCREW RAP | ||
| None of this modern crap that is coming out is any good. Stairway to heaven i an awesome song but it is not very catchy and its like 10 minutes long. I have to say that one of the best songs ever has to be La Grange by ZZ Top because it is very catchy and has several. amazing guitar solos. Anybody who says that In da club by 50 cent is the greates song ever can LICK MY SACK!!!! | ||
| Well,a lot of people think that stairway to heaven is the greatest song , it's a good song but to say the greatest song in the world eeuuuuuuuuuh naaaaa.The best song is or better ARE jeremy- pearl jam evenflow-pearl jam smels like teen spirit-Nirvana for those about to rock - AC/DC black hole sun-soundgarden and everlong- FOO FIGHTERS I'm sorry but I just can't choose The last one isn't the greatest song in the world but yeah the FOO FIGHTERS are fucking great shit. | ||
| Don't choose HIP HOP cause it sucks like hell sanitarium-Metallica | ||
| I guess it's impossible to say this is the greatest song ever, period, but for me and my ear, I'd have to say Bohemian Rapsody because it combines a bunch of different music styles and Stairway To Heaven is such a cliche just because it's so famous....and also, the song is very simple compared to Bohemian... | ||
| master of puppets all the way its so simpple its the greatest song ever | ||
| I do say stairway to heaven by led zeppelin is up there to be one of the greatest songs ever. But i have to say Evening Train by Van Morrison!!!..... | ||
| I've never heard the song before, so my disagreance might change when and if i ever do hear it. here is my view on music. 1st) "I'm gonna lover her for both of us" by Meat Loaf 2nd) "Blinded by the light" by Manfred Mann 3rd) "Bat out of hell" by Meat Loaf 4th) "Mr. Roboto" by Styx Rock On \__/ | ||
| Dudes, Dudettes, this is really a no brainer. I'm sure somebody must of had the brains to know the answer to this already, but I ain't reading all one million posts. It so obvious. Tenacious D wrote the greatest song in the world. WE JUST NEVER HEARD IT. That's why we have Tribute. Come on guys, get with the game. But I do have to admit. Do you Realize?? by the Flaming Lips comes in a pretty close second to the song we never heard. | ||
| I cant believe none have you have mentioned the chili peppers including sum of their classic songs such as under the bridge and californication! Their new song Dani California is just a masterpiece!!! CHILIS 4 EVA!!!!! | ||
| alright the greatest song ever written is stairway to heaven- theres no doubt about t | ||
| Right now I would say "Fall out boy - Sugar we're going down!!! MY GOD THAT SONG ROCKS!!! xD | ||
| everybody knows that american,t music sucks big time get with the program loosers and listen to real music it all comes from england oh and the best song ever is not stairway to heaven but give achilles last stand a listen that should say it all right there | ||
| the greatest song ever recorded in the history of music | ||
| I love Guns n Roses Coma also Mindrot In silence Beatles Let it be Pachabels Canon in D Winds of change Scorpions Love you to death Type o Negative | ||
| Well Stairway to Heaven is definitely the most popular song, but greatest. . . I'd have to say Like A Rolling Stone from Bob Dylan. | ||
| I cannot choose b/t these two, Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen, or Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin. Since I like Queen more, I'll chose Bohemian Rhapsody, actually I take that back, you see I cannot choose b/t the two | ||
| Wow, some of you guys are gettin riled up. You cant a label a song "the greatest song ever", it is just not possible. Everybody likes different things.
So, my FAVOURITE songs would have to be Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen, Daysleeper - REM, Bad Touch - Bloodhound Gang, Paint it Black - Rolling Stones and there are others that I cant think of at the moment.
I'm only 15, so not ALL teenagers are into Slipknot and 50 cent (I HATE rap with a passion). Anyway this is just my opinion, and we all have a right to an opinion whether anyone else likes it or not.
(Editor's note: Bad Touch! It's 1999 all over again! Seriously, good choice. People malign Bloodhound Gang but they have some good stuff.) |
||
| wat is the message in Stairway to Heaven? | ||
| sand in my shoes | ||
| Stairway to heaven and Knockin on heavens door (Bob Dylan)are the two greatest song ever. Bob Dylan is the greatest artist that has ever lived. That is all. | ||
| my favourite, and therefore the worlds greatest, song is master of puppets by metallica. its so cool. although the guy who shot chuck norris has a point in that fade to black is "awesome". its probably my second fave .. MetallicA rule!!!!(sometimes). P.S. - i like that its only real music has been included here, none of this rap/dance/pop bullshit!!! seriously i can make pop music with my ass!! :'( | ||
| The Greatest Band of the past 70 years is System Of A Down, because they don't stick to one kind of music, they play everything, and everything they play, they master. Anyone who labels this band "emo" or "loud noise" is missing out on a selection of incredible music. If you don't like one of their songs, then just listen to the next one on the track. Their greatest song is Aerials, from their album "Toxicity". This song must be one of the greatest ever written. no question. ThE MuSiCriTic | ||
| The Greatest Song Ive ever heard is definately Fade To Black by Metallica..... The guitar solo at the end made me shit my pants it was so awesome.... It kicks even more ass live when you can hear the double bass drum at the end during the solo.... And yeah , Stairway To Heaven....? What The Fuck???? What an overrated piece of shit!!!!!! The solo is good but its so fucking boring!!!!! | ||
| "Darkness" by Twiztid | ||
| Best Every Song = Slayer - Angel of Death | ||
| every1 shut the fuck up. stairway is the greatest. dont say anything or i will kill u all in your sleep | ||
| Stairway To Heaven - by Led Zeppelin is the best song of all time and all u have to do is sit down and listen to it to see that | ||
| Simon and Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water.... dont know how you guys feel about it, but thats my song. To me thats the greatest song ever. The meaning in the words is so powerful | ||
| I would have to say Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. If not that then Stairway to Heaven, or Let It Be would take the #1 spot. Simply great songs. No one can occupy the spot, but a bit of all of them could. Hasn't happenned yet to my knowledge | ||
| I think that the greatest songs ever are: 1. Stairway To Heaven - by Led Zeppelin 2. Fade To Black - by Metallica 3. One - by Metallica | ||
| Some good ones are Kashmir-Led Zeppelin, Sweet Child O' Mine-Guns N' Roses , Thunderstruck-ACDC, Another Brick in the wall (all the parts)-Pink Floyd, anything by VAn Halen, and Roundabout(Yes) | ||
| Imagine is the worst song ever. period. Where the streets have no name - u2, or dry county - bon jovi, and of course you cant look past the boss - born to run. As many have said, its simply too hard to pick just one song. | ||
| Oh, heres some food for though - greenday - jesus of surburbia/ city of the damned/ i dont care/ dearly beloved/ tales of another broken home. AWESOME! | ||
| the crystal ship-the doors | ||
| that stripped song is absolute shite!!! sounds like theres a constipated leonard cohen in the middle of some alright guitar. I dont think there can be one greatest song ever depends on the mood and place your in and people your with... for now ill go with Eric Clapton-tears in heaven | ||
| I have been studying music all my life..... and can tell you all that anyone who hates stairway to heaven has no appreciaiton for music. You think that all of us stairway fans are basing our opinion of others'. You are wrong, your musical appreciation has just not yet matured to the level where Stairway can mean the most to you. Zeppelin were Gods And always will be! | ||
| everyone here is stupid. People have differnet opinions so it is obvious the greatest song will be your favourite, basically this topic should be 'Post your favourite song' mine has to be street spirit by radiohead, its a haunting song. | ||
| White Zombie's "Blood, Milk And Sky" | ||
| Dream Theater - "A Change of Seasons", or "In the Name of God" The guitarist John Petrucci is a god Stairway to Heaven is definetly overrated, same with Smells like teen spirit | ||
| I think that there is no one great song and that there are so many diffrent opinions ni the world that it would be basically impossible to find the greates song in the world because my opinion changes everyday here are my favorite song over thge last 2 months Jack Johnson:Better Together Jack Johnson:Do You Remeber? Amos Lee:In The Arms Of a Women James Blunt:You're Beautiful Train:Drops Of Jupiter | ||
| rammstein pwns.... ---wo bist du--- the best song ever | ||
| Live Forever - Oasis That's Entertainment - The Jam Strawberry Fields Forever - The Beatles Village Green Preservation Society - The Kinks | ||
| Michael Jackson, Billie Jean | ||
| stairway to heaven is a great song but consider these *greenday-good riddance *kaiser chiefs-i predict a riot *kasabian-processed beats *the beatles - well anything by the beatles *the stranglers-golden brown *nirvana-smells like teen spirit *red hot chilli peppers-the zephyr song *kings of leon-four kicks *the libertines-wahat became of the likely lads *the doors-this is the end | ||
| You all fool. No one can suggest exactly what is the greatest ever. Just fuck off ! | ||
| XAXAXA some of you are saying that Stairway to Heaven is the best song ever officialy... When it isn't... Officialy the best song ever is Imagine by John Lennon | ||
| There is no one greatest song, but it's certainly not antyhing by nirvanna, guns and roses, or pink. Could you all do me a favor and A: either hang yourself or B: Listen to a more diverse, less commercial selection of music. BTW the guy who said "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is th best song ever is a nostalgic douchebag. | ||
| TIME BY PINK FLOYD IS THE GREATEST SONG EVER second would have to be wish you were here... if you dont beleive me just listen | ||
| You've all been bitchin on about crap like queen do you know any other song besides bohemian raphsody what about dont stop me now? another bites the dust! or a perfect circle.. judith! passive! the outsider! deep by NIN.. way to fall by starsailor ( and not because it was in MGS3 ) ... stairway heaven is a great song but that song came out along long time ago get some new bands! | ||
| Definately stairway to heaven but tied for a close second are wish you were here(pink floyd), over the hills and far away(led zep), free bird(skynard), comfortably numb(pink floyd), disarm (smashing pupmkins), wonderwall (oasis | ||
| The greatest song ever must be for me: U2 - Walk On the music is so beautiful and the lyrics are being singed with so much heart by Bono, every time i hear it, i have to pink away a tear. | ||
| aha! well ne one wanting to no GOOD songs.. "blind melon - no rain" " The rolling stones - angie, miss you" "Pink Floyd - Time!! comfertably numb, money" "led Zeppelin - Fool in the rain!.. Kashmir, magic carpet ride.. sth" "good charlotte - seasons, emotionless" and any thing by the beatles.. fool in the rain beats all tho ;) | ||
| IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE: -Dance with the devil -Freedom of speech -Crossing the boundary -Point of no return -Obnoxious -Peruvian Cocaine -Cause of Death -Internall bleeding These are all very good and hard hitting songs. | ||
| Free Bird by Lynard Skynard, Stairway to Heaven by Led Zepplin, the 007 theme (don't diss it people, it rocks), Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls, Hush by Deep Purple, Take Five by Dave Brubeck (classic one there people. Jazz), Du Hast by Rammstein, Superstition by Stevie Wonder, Homeworld (the ladder) by Yes, and many others. These are what i consider my Fave's, but i am making no arguement as to the "Greatest Song Ever" these are just a bunch of great songs. Also, people, will you stop dissing the new bands? I mean, yes, they are not as good as older bands, but still, they get their point across, and some new bands have some very good songs, so will you PLEASE stop calling them crap? Thank you. (AND FREE BIRD TOTALLY KICKS ASS!) | ||
| The greatest song ever in my opinion is I want to hold your hand by the beatles. The principal of that song is amazing if the world was like that everything would be ok | ||
| Mayonnaise by Smashing Pumpkins | ||
| The Whites Stripes covers of One More Cup Of Coffee (Bob Dylan) and Jolene (Dolly Parton)
Two great writers and one voice with such feeling.
I feel I should mention "The Hardest Button To Button" just for the lyric "I had a brain that felt like pancake batter". I love that line. And the fact that I want to play it so loud my ears bleed.
(Editor's note: I hate the White Stripes so much that I actually called a local radio station and offered to buy everyone there a case of beer if they stopped playing The White Stripes. Sadly it did not work...) |
||
| Greatest song ever simply has to be THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN by THIN LIZZY, its just a rough and ready song better than any other, ever..... | ||
| A little long-winded by Saul, nevertheless he may be right. However, as certain parts of our brains are more suceptible to particular noises, we have all had these various reactors in our brains conditioned by the environment we live in. The mind remembers sounds and smells and associates them with events and places. This is the sensation you feel when you hear a certain song and either love or hate it. As we are thought to only use up to 15% of our grey matter it can be assumed that some of these reactors lie dormant waiting for the right sound to come along. Is there an all ruling reactor that all humans will reacte in a positive way to? Would this mean that whatever tune or song would become an anthem for all mankind? So I guess what I am really saying is....... The Greatest song may well be out there........ it just hasn't been written yet. | ||
| you guys are all retarded, no offense to anyone that actually is retarded. Music is an incredibly deep mode of expression that is interpretted differently by each and every person, and even differently depening on oyur mood. There is no such thing as the greatest song. The word greatest signifies a single thing that is great. One song. There are great songs. There are even amazing songs. Songs that have been handed down from the gods to mortals to pluck out on their mere guitars. But there is no song that is unamously thought of as the greatest. So what is the point of asking if you know that no matter the answer, you will be wrong in somebody elses opinion. A more appropriate question to ask is "What is your favorite song." A favorite is personal. It is linked to one person. No can tell you that your favorite song is not your favorite. They can say your favorite song is not their favorite, they can even say that your favorite song sucks balls, but that doesn't mean anything. So in conclusion, all you little whiney kids need to shut up about what the greatest song ever is, because in reality, there isnt one.
(Editor's note: Well that's a little more hostile then I would expect from someone considering that the discussion up until now has been perfectly civil. Of course, with an email address that ends in @AOL.COM, what else is to be expected?) |
||
| KoRn - Blind | ||
| Queen are easily the greatest band ever any song of theirs bohemian rhapsody or these are the days of our lives freddy kiks ass | ||
| Stairway is DEFINETLY not the GREATEST song ever. However the last 4 1/2 minutes are very good, but for a song to be the greatest song the WHOLE song has to be good. The greatest is either Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody or Like a Rolling Stone by Bob Dylan | ||
| Led Zeppelin fans are right (STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN, WHEN THE LEVEE BREAKS, MOBY DICK, WHOA LOTTA LOVE, ETC are all good songs). You PEOPLE have to know that BLACK LABEL SOCIETY is the GREATEST BAND since METALLICA, also a kick ass band, who also have badass songs (THE SMALL HOURS, FADE TO BLACK, BATTERY, ONE, ETC). BLACK LABEL SOCIETY HAS CREATED NOTHING BUT MASTERPIECES. I RECOMMEND (THE ROSEPETALLED GARDEN, HEY YOU, RUST, COUNTERFEIT GOD, ALL OF THE 1919 ETERNAL CD, ALL OF THE BLESSED HELLRIDE CD, HANGOVER MUSIC CD, ALL OF THE MAFIA CD, AND ALL OF THE KINGS OF DAMNATION CD). BLACK LABEL SOCIETY IS THE EPIPHANY OF HEAVY METAL. Rammstein is cool but unfortunately, all Richard Bernstein and Paul Landers do is play the same chords. All the songs don't change much. Till Lindemann does a kick ass job at writing lyrics. | ||
| Tricky one, but probably maybe All along the watchtower (Hendrix's version), Under the bridge, No woman no cry, Say it ain't so, With or without you or One. Stairway's good, but the lyrics definitely let it down! (Plant, you sould be ashamed!) P.S GUITARRO you can't even spell Tchaikovsky so don't try and come across as an intellectual you muppet! | ||
| STONE ROSES - WATERFALL. U DISAGREE?... UR A FOOL | ||
| 1.Fire and Rain - James Taylor 2. Lean on Me - Bill Withers 3. Macy's Day Parade - Green Day 4. I Wanna Know what love is - Foreigner 5. Tears in Heaven - Eric Clapton 6. Piano Man - Billy Joel 7. I Guess thats why they call it the blues - Elton John 8. Islands in the Stream - Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers 9. Over My Shoulder - Mike & the Mechanics 10. Good Riddance - Green Day 11. China in your Hand - T'Pau 12. Always on my mind - Willie Nelson 13. Basketcase - Green Day 14. Hurt - Johnny Cash 15. Just like Heaven - The Cure 16. Eric Clapton - Wonderful Tonight 17. California Girls - Beach Boys 18. Desperado - The Eagles(should b higher in my list, forgot about it, should b about number 5) 19. How do u mend a broken heart - Bee gees 20. Yesterday - The Beatles | ||
| I didn't read every post in here... but I think that most of you forgot to talk about Bohemian Raphsody from Queen... I think that The Beatles are the best group ever, followed by Queen and Led Zep... there's so many songs... let's think about Suicide is Painless from Nick Drake (M*A*S*H theme song...) | ||
| Wow, Stairway to Heaven is deffinatly the suckiest song that was ever written. Led sux!!!! If you think that Zepplin holds the best song then you all must be high or your not hearing the song. The Best song that was ever is Enstranged !!!!!!! just to let you know =) | ||
| Like A Rolling Stone by Bob Dylan | ||
| i believe that there is no such thing as the " greatest song ever". Simply because the mind forms a mental block when one tries to decide upon this difficult matter.Mainly because when you listen to certain songs you like them because your'e in that mood.People who like stairway to heaven are probably needing some security in their life. They might feel insecure and STH certainly uplifts your mood. All people are different and all moods different. That is why there is no such thing as the best song in the world. Thats a JOKE...... best song in the world is the first song that ever hits your ears when youre a child. The first ever song you listen to is the only time that we listened to a sad/happy song without thinking back to your life and reflecting using the song to help you. | ||
| The Guns 'n Roses trilogy - Don't cry, November Rain and Enstranged!!!!!!!!!! Watch the latter and everything make sense! They are THE BEST ROCK 'N ROLL BAND EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | ||
| I say Eye of the Tiger by Survivor, from Rocky 3. Classic. Also Aerosmith - Dont Wanna Miss A Thing is good. | ||
| the song i most enjoy listening to is back in black by ACDC but for pure insane talent i would have to go with O Fortuna | ||
| BILLY JOEL---Scenes From An Italian Restaurant----amazing song-----summer highland falls-------WOW----------river of dreams------His music will live on and his classics are some of the best songs ever recorded, written, and performed.!!!!!!! GO BILLY!!!!! | ||
| the greatest songs ever: 1) Let It Be 2) Stairway to Heaven 3) Hotel California 4) In My Life if you dont agree with me you have no musical sense | ||
| LETS GET IT ON BY THE MAN MARVIN GAYA | ||
| Anyone who has made mention to Estranged - Guns N' Roses is correct. And especially to the second half of the song, Axl's gravel voice sends shivers through the spine and Slash's big riffs in the song are classic. The video clip is akilla aswell! | ||
| Come on feel the noize by quiet riot!! ROCKS!!!!! | ||
| hotel california-eagles cats in the cradle-ysuf islam(cat stevens) piano man-billy joel dust in the wind........no no.1 | ||
| i really like in da club-50 cent | ||
| Greatest song ever? Agaetis birjun by sigur ros. No fookin doubrt 'bout it! | ||
| Bob Dylan - Like A Rolling Stone . No questions asked its purly an amazing song. STH as a lot of you said is good, but nowhere near as great to this Dylan classic... | ||
| Kurt Cobain.................pah! Anyway, he obviously did have a gun. | ||
| i read a comment by damon wayans on this site and he said it is 'ho ho fucking ho' by monty python. he's right. FIND IT. | ||
| No it's not, it's "Wanderers," by Ben & Dave, you people are such idiots. Just kidding, it's dumb to ask since no one will ever agree since everyone has different tastes. | ||
| I dont care what all of you think, the greatest song ever is facedown by the red jumpsuit appartus, a fantastic punk rock song, great story within the song, i must have listened to it at least 100 times and i refuse to get bored by it, projecting its greatness ^-^ | ||
| Bron-yr-aur-stomp by zeppelin, damn, there are so many good bands out there, probably some dead kennedy's stuff, and butthole surfers and pixies' surfer rosa | ||
| your kidding you fuckers the greatest song ever is simple man by lynard skynard you shit heads :) | ||
| First off i wanna say hello to my fellow Pixies fans, best band ever bar none, but the best song ever has to be stairway to heaven, everything about its perfect, the vocals, the guitar especially and the drums aswell | ||
| you're all wrong, trust me. it is ho ho f***ing ho by monty python. okay its not a propper song, but you have gotta try and find it. its the funniest song you will ever listen to in your life. once you have heard it you will definitly agree with me. | ||
| Oasis were by far and away the best band of the 90's, and deserve a lot of credit. Liam is up there with Axl Rose, Jonny Rotten and Dylan in terms of voices that are instantly recognisable, and Noel's song-writing is out of this world. Slide Away, Champagne Supernova and Live Forever are classics of the modern day. | ||
| well anonymous im only have ot sang one thing to u.....good fucking post. im more of a lyrical genius that kurt cobain i mean not only could he not sing but his girl friend was fucking courtney love was this guy blind? now im not saying he wasnt good cause his lyrics were good but i cant undersatnd a god damn word in that whole fucking song. ediotr ur god damn right nirvana did suck and will always suck and im going to say this to Led Zeppelin sucks now because all u like emo fag pussies thought it would be cool to start listening to old rock music and have fallen in love with led zeppelin. u ruined them i mean they kinda riuned themselves since they were all dicks but still u guys made them so mianstream that only little 12 year olds like them. look for real music like bob dylan and billy joel and shit. the who...awsome look for gpod music. anothe great song is behind blue eyes by the who, not limp bisket who fucked it i the ass so bad that the guys in the who couldnt sit for a week. thanks alot fred durst for just fucking everything uo for us music listeners now my ears bleed whenever i hear that god damn song u stole and fucked up. screw u fred durst | ||
| Stairway maybe... either that or ESTRANGED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | ||
| the greatest rock song is Estranged Stairway might have the best lyrics tho Let It Be and Kashmir are also possibilities As far as all music goes the best song would probably be classical. But as for rock songs its Estranged | ||
| Anybody who says Stairway to Heaven is the greatest song ever is too much of a tool to have their opinion counted. It is not even in the top 5 Led Zeppelin songs. Over the Hills and Far Away, Dy'er Mak'er, Kashmir, Fool in the Rain, and Going to California are all way better. Second, all you fraggles who claim Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit is anything special are too disillusioned to see the truth. Kurt Cobain was NOT a genius who transformed music. He was above average at best and if he had lived longer, instead of blowing his brains out like a coward, then he would have faded away and the rest of us normal people not living in our mom's basements wouldn't have to constantly hear about about the "revolutionary artist with a vision who died young, never yet showing his full potential." Give me a fucking break.
(Editor's note: Damn straight. I'm just going to go out and say it: Nirvana sucks.) |
||
| Hurricane - Bob Dylan | ||
| JAYDM=RETARTED good vibrations is a very good song | ||
| Hey Jude. Don't make it bad. Na Na Na Hey Jude! I do't like stairway to heaven. Too long and other reasons. | ||
| the nokia tune | ||
| Pull Me Under - Dream Theater is fuckin epic and easily the song I listen to the most | ||
| STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN= LED ZEPPELIN WERE GONNA GROOVE= LED ZEPPELIN PURPLE HAZE= JIMI HENDRIX | ||
| a truly great song needs to change the way people listen to music. good vibrations by the beach boys changed the scene in 1966. sgt pepper was one result of brian wilsons creation. | ||
| Muse are the Greatest band therefore it has to be one of their songs yet I cannot decide what song. Someone more educated than me will have to make the decision on what song. | ||
| like a rolling stone by Bob Dylan is the greatest song ever. then prolly imagine by john lennon. u guys r to mainstream. zepplin is awsome but STH is so overrated. and so is GNR. start listening to good music. another great song is whats going on by marvin gaye and american pie by that one guy. lol still a great song. start listening to good music. | ||
| stairway to heaven is the best song ever and peoples choice and eric white r going to get thier asses kick if i ever see them because they r 2 fags | ||
| .:.:.teenage kicks by the undertones.:.:. no doubt about it. and most definitely NOT the busted version | ||
| the chili peppers 90's stuff is great, but none of it would be worthy of best song ever - i mean come on think of all the grerat bands that there have been?? | ||
| Come on guys WHAT ABOUT THE CHILI PEPPERS?! Californication and Under the bridge by the red hot chili peppers are the best
(Editor's note: Chili Peppers suck...) |
||
| the best song ever is I DON'T WANNA MISS A THING - AEROSMITH or ALL MY LIFE - KCI & JoJo, most excellent...shibby | ||
| Hands downs BEST SONG EVER IS..."I LIKE BIG BUTTS" By Sir Mix A Lot!!!! Hands down. John Lennon's "Imagine" is a distant second, and William Hung's version of Ricky Martin "She Bangs" ranks right up there. Song's are personal and there are soooo many different brands of music out there, that you could never pick a clear cut favorite. This was a good Blog.
(Editor's note: This is not a blog.) |
||
| ok all your songs are good and all but i think pure morning or bitter sweet sympathy is the best, not ever but its a f*cking good song | ||
| hmmm....i think you must all be wrong greatest song eva would have to be goo goo dolls 'Iris' and the best band eva has to be U2 do u realise how many pro songs they've pulled? with or without you, beautiful day, ground beneath her feet, One, elevation, Where the streets have no name, miracle drug, sometimes you can't make it on your own..that thats to name a few! | ||
| Aesop Rock - Daylight | ||
| You wanna know that the greateast rock'n'roll song of all time is hands down no doubt about it..."HIGHWAY TO HELL" by the great AC/DC.This song sums yp mwhat rock'n'roll is all about and when Bon Scott sings the title words. bloody awesome!!!. Best Ever .That's It !!!!!!! | ||
| dude jimi hendrix voodo child come on | ||
| I honestly believe that the best "rock n roll" song ever is Paradise City by My Much loved Guns and Roses. No one can beat Axl. | ||
| Freebird, stairway to heaven, ONE by Mettallica, wish you were here, hotel California, all acceptable answers | ||
| the greatest song ever is hard to say ´cos everyones got differnt tastes, thank god for that. but here some of my favourite. BON JOVI- living on a prayer, CHRISTINA AGUILERA-can´t hold u down, ju St look at the lyrics there.RODTEWART. do ya´think i´m sexy. BRYAN ADAMS-everything I do I do it for you. TINA TURNER- The best.MARIAH CAREY-through the rain.ELTON JOHN-candle in the wind.ABBA- mamma mia, one of us. WET WET WET- love i all around you. SURVIVOR-eye of the tiger.FAITH HILL- there you´ll be. BERLIN- take my breath away.MARIA KCKEE-how me heaven | ||
| i think nirvana is cool n rocks......wouldnt like to leave any bad comments bout any bands coz all of them try hard but some can still do better................keep rockin.....n remember its better to burn than to fade away.................... | ||
| I would have to say Times Like These - Foo Fighters and Bad Touch - Bloodhound Gang (damn that song is funny). Also, Summer of 69. | ||
| Top 10 Best, in no particular order: Like a Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan Surfin' Safari - The Beach Boys Substiute - The Who Do You Remeber Rock 'n' Roll Radio? - The Ramones Sweet Jane - The Velvet Underground Jumpin' Jack Flash - The Rolling Stones You Never Can Tell - Chuck Berry Rock 'n' Roll - The Velvet Underground Hurricane - Bob Dylan Summertime Blues - Eddie Cochran Tommy Gun - The Clash | ||
| Yo, guys the GREATEST SONGS OF ALL TIME ARE - Cum on Feel The Nioze - Quiet Riot Hells Bells - ACDC Tears in Heavan - Eric Clapton Soul To Squeeze - R.H.C.P .... P.s Stairway to Heavan is not a song it's a Big Fat solo, it should be shortend and shoved in another song. | ||
| Free Bird by Lynard Skynard or More Than A Feeling by Boston.... you cant beat the strong guitar solos | ||
| my god do all the new wave bands SUCK AZZ@!!!!111 the older rock bands are really the only one that have real talent, jimi hendrix, zeppelin, gnr, ac/dc, scorpions, queen, eric clapton, ted nugent, eric johnson, steve vai, black sabbath, metallica, van halen, the who, kiss, aerosmith, pink floyd, cream, deep purple, judas preist, motley crue, def leppard, thin lizzy, pantera, the rolling stones, lynyrd skynyrd, bon jovi, meat loaf, but remember the music you listen to is the best music ever (to you) and dont get mad at other people when they think other songs that you may not like are better, thats only what they think, and personally i cant come up with a greates song there are just too many greats!! | ||
| What is this site about.Stairway etc etc are all great tracks and its all stuff i loved and still like now.I know this is a subjective an emotive subject but i dont know how anything of the last 15 yrs could get a look in.Tho i stand to be corrected.However,one thing i wont accept is the lack of Bob Dylan stuff mentioned.He may not be to everyones liking, but if you give him a chance you willl listen to him and feel anyone else is alsmost musically anaemic in comparison.Im not botherd about competition on who is the best...im saying you must lsiten to him....all his stuff.Not just blowing in the ...times they are a ...and knocking on....He is unique...not many can say that after all this time. | ||
| GOTTA Be Michael Jackson, Billie Jean. that Beat is immortal | ||
| Come on. It's obviously BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY, by Queen. There is no competition. Please. | ||
| Reason's why LED ZEPPELIN's STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN IS THE GREATEST SONG EVER The earliest, most serious attention paid to the song appeared in college newspapers and obscure music rags. It was never released as a single. yet: It remains the biggest-selling sheet music in the history of rock. An average hit sells 10,000 to 15,000 copies. Stairway to Heaven has sold more than one million copies. There are roughly six hundred AOR and "classic" rock stations in the U.S., which means that "Stairway" has been broadcast a minimum of 2,874 times. At eight minutes per spin, roughly 23 million minutes -- almost forty-four solid years -- have been devoted to the song. And the stats go on... If you like or dislike the song it's entirely up to you but the greatest ever song in my opinion has to meet certain criteria and have a unique history, not just, "no its not because it makes me fall asleep and its shit!" I mean Garth Brookes is one of the biggest selling artists and my opinion is that he is shite, but who knows in 30 years one of his songs may be the greatest ever! God help us And whoever posted Angels by Robbie Williams needs their head checking! | ||
| the best song ever without a doubt is Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen without a doubt. | ||
| LIKE A ROLLING STONE by BOB DYLAN is the greatest song ever according to Rolling Stone Mag and i agree it gave this mag its God Damn name. It inspired the beatles and the Rolling Stones | ||
| There is NO BEST SONG EVER!! people just have personal favorites! Personally I love the gorilaz - fell good inc. There is no doubt whatsoever that i dislike any of the songs said to be 'the best song ever' (appart from stairway to heaven) its just some people like them more than others. Also a lot of peoples opinions are influenced by the media and whats supposed to be cool rather than what they think is good! | ||
| Best Song ever IMO = Born to be wold - Steppenwolf Best Drum solo = Morbid Angel Best Bass solo = maxwell murder - rancid Best guitar solo = freebird - lynyrd skynyrd or any necrophagist song Best new band = Necrophagist new cd is unbelievably amazing | ||
| black bird beatles | ||
| ill make u guys a list of my favorite which I believe is best. Oasis- Don't Look Back In Anger( a must hear) John Lennon- Imagine( genius) Led Zeppelin- Stairway to Heaven( let me jump on the bandwagon) Oasis- Champange Supernova( great vocals and lyrics) Aerosmith- I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing( sweetest song ever) Led Zeppelin- Dazed and Confused( lovely Solo) Nirvana- Heart Shaped Box Nuff Said. | ||
| there are a lot of amazing songs out there stai way, wish you were here and all those are amazing but the most timelesss greatest piece of music written ever has to be beethovens moonlight sonata if you have heard it listen to it | ||
| there is no ONE greatest song... but any rock song from the 80's, all those bands were kick booty!! | ||
| EVERYONE KNOWS THE BEST SONG EEEEVVVEERRR is FREEDOM by RAGE AGSINT THE MACHINE. | ||
| OR possibly "Youve got cancer" by Anal Cunt
(Editor's note: Huh?) |
||
| Guns n Roses - Sweet Child O Mine Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here Pink Floyd - Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2) Radiohead - Creep Lynyrd Skynyrd - Freebird Just a handful of some of the greatest songs out there... | ||
| Hey Jude | ||
| You must say that the best is There Is A Light That Never Goes Out by The Smiths who by the way are the best band ever | ||
| Don't look back in anger by Oasis is one of the best!! Stairway to heaven is very good!! Personally my favourite ever song is probably Fade To Black by Metallica!! | ||
| the scientist-coldplay falling is like this- ani defranco run-snow patrol your song-elton john fast car-tracey chapman the river-missy higgins | ||
| All these classic rock songs are awesome, I love them all. But please, for the love of you all, can we remember "New York State of Mind", by Nas? That is the best song on the greatest hip hop album in the history of the spoken work, Illmatic. | ||
| 1)THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME, 2)SINCE I'VE BEEN LOVING YOU, 3)KASHMER, 4)STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN 5)ACHILLIES LAST STAND | ||
| N'Sync- Pop *POP* best eva | ||
| First off stairway to heaven is a fucking awsome song, not the best ever though, not even led zeppelins best song. But jimmy page is the greatest guitarist that has ever lived, and will be. Nirvana is overrated they wouldnt be as famous if curt didnt kill himself. The greatest song though cant be determined but i do know that it was before the 80's started. | ||
| hey all you wankers, get a life! the best song ever is not stairway to heaven, its not anything by rammstein nor guns n roses either that of nirvana! it is blatently barbie girl by aqua you shitheads, try downloading it from kazaa or sumat, or is that against your religion of shit music! p.s no one will read this because its rite at the bottom | ||
| Why does everyone hate on rammstein???? listen to a whole CD and then form an opinion...if the only song uve ever heard is du hast, or if that is your favorite rammstein song, you can choke on a dick and die | ||
| Greatest song that was ever written is Wish You Were Here by Floyd | ||
| Now i'm a huge Sex Pistols fan, love the Ramones, the Clash, and Sabbath. But the Greatest song ever is hands down Don Mclean's American Pie. I'm sure alot of people in here have no idea what that songs really about. The Song tells the history of the sixties and the various movements, and overall loss of innocence using cryptic refferences to rock n roll legends. Don mclean perfectly captured the cultural revolution and its implications in some of the best song writing anyone has ever done. It is nihilistic, but at the same time light sounding and beautiful. Its a rare combination, made even rarer because of the depth of every single line. | ||
| Best song ever written is all about opinion...In my opinion, the best songs ever for clever lyrics and such is Led Zepplin - Stairway to Heaven, Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody, Nirvana - Smells like teen Spirit and John Lennon - Imagine... | ||
| Stop bitching, there is no "greatest song ever" because everyone has their own opinions as to which song is the greatest ever. Just enjoy and promote the music you feel is the greatest. | ||
| My god!! you all seem like a pathetic bunch of old ladies. Even my grandma says Stairway is the best song ever, but where do you leave the Clash???!!! SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO has to be the greatest song written. It not only has a great and sticky rhythm, but there are also parts of it in spanish (my mother language) that makes it funny and very original. I could also mention like 50 of Elvis' songs, but it would just bore you. Go inform yourselves and listen to Ramones, Sex Pistols or any other good punk group before you start posting this comments. | ||
| i think "Mettalica -nothing else matters " has to be the greatest song ever. | ||
| First off, congratulations on the longest discussion board I've ever seen. Jesus. You either struck a chord or we're all just very bored people. -- Does it seem odd to anyone that every song mentioned has been Rock music between 1950-present? Don't get me wrong, I'm the same way, but I'm surprised I haven't seen anything else... -- My Current "Greatest Song" Favorites 1) Imagine-John Lennon 2) Kashmir- Led Zeppelin 3) No Woman No Cry- Bob Marley -- Oh, and I'm writing the greatest song ever tonight so you guys can just stop talking until it's done. | ||
| please....!go fuck yourself! all you who thinks "enter sandman" is the greatest song ever...you gotta be kidding.. best songs in this world are imagine,live forever,yesterday,paranoid android,alcoholic,wonderwall,one and november rain.. so lets all say beatles,oasis,radiohead,starsailor,metallica & guns&roses.....!!! :D | ||
| Here is a list of the songs that rule and any arguments can fuck off they are in no particular order All Along the Watch tower - Hendrix Layla - Clapton Samba Pa Ti - Santana Paint It Black - Rolling Stones | ||
| tie between Rush: closer to the heart or spirt of the radio and the who: who are you rolling stone: paint it black or bohemin rapcity by queen | ||
| Amazing Grace | ||
| I have really no opinion on the greatest song, but I can say that its not Stariway to Heaven. Most of you dont even listen to Zeppelin that much. Its a good band, HIGHLY overated. Also no Bohemian Rhapsody...good song, HIGHLY overated. It also cant be Iorn Man...it took Tony no time to write that work of crap. I wish you people would find a simple easy to listen song with a good solo. And not listen to only what is popular. My personal favorite is "Some day, One Day" Written by Brian May, on the Queen Album "Queen II". but shut the hell up about "Stairway to Heaven" you stupid wannabees. | ||
| You idiots are wrong the best song ever is Dancing Queen by ABBA | ||
| Who ever made this website, don't make another one. Rammstein has the best song ever!? yea and i'm the pope. RAMMSTEIN SUCKS. STH is the greatest and always will be. And I'm a huge led zeppelin fan so im not just sayin that cuz I heard it somewhere. O, and if you like rammstein kill yourself | ||
| Stairway to Heaven. Trust me iv watched jimmy page play it. Page is a great guitarest and he is a musical genuis wether you like him or you hate him. Stairway to Heaven is what made rock what it is. The solo is so fuckin amazing. But still I love the song Hey Joe by Hendrix but id have to say my favorite is either Sweet Dreams by Marilyn Manson or Achillies Last Stand by LED ZEPPELIN! And if you havent heard it you should listen to it its a really good song. But yeah stairway to heaven is the greatest song ever made and when i first heard it i thought it was gay but then when page plays that solo its like God is playing the guitar. So all of you dumb ass shit heads that say its gay you all are just DUMB ASS SHIT HEADS! So if you dont believe me you can email me and ill show you that im right cause Led Zeppelin made rock what it is and today rock can go to hell! Simple Plan and all of that other wanna be shit can burn! Cause all it is. is just easy cords unlike Classic Rock! | ||
| Dave Matthews Band - Crash Into Me | ||
| "hit the road jack" by Ray Charles is the best | ||
| My greatest song ever could either be'CARRY ON WAYWARD SON'by Kansas or'KILLING IN THE NAME OFF'by Rage against the machine cos everyone always names the classics like stairway which are great songs if your in a ballad style mood but these two always sound good. | ||
| cant actually say that this particular song is the best but there are a few that just have to be mentioned(in random order). ESTRANGED and WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE by g'nr, WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER by queen,THUNDERSTRUCK by ac/dc,LIGHTNING CRASHES by live,JEREMY by pear jam,BLACK STAR by radiohead,IRIS by goo goo dolls,NOTHING ELSE MATTERS by mettalica,PLEASE FORGIVE ME by bryan adams,SECRET GARDEN by springsteen,WONDERWALL by oasis,TOUCHED by vast and WEATHER WITH U by crowded house. | ||
| The greatest song ever has to have been by Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, or Eric Clapton. | ||
| STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN IS NO DOUGHT THE GREATEST SONG IN ROCK AND ROLL HISTORY JIMMY PAGE IS THE GREATEST MUSICIANS TO EVER WALK THE EARTH | ||
| it'd be out of Angels by robbie williams (jess simpson killed it) n smells like teen spirit or mabye even Dammit or feeling this by blink | ||
| - hear is a list of really really good songs. I say this because there is no greatest song ever. (no particular order) Jimi Hendrix - 1983 a merman i should turn to be Alice In Chains - Down In A Hole Alice In Chains - Them Bones The Doors - The End (from apocalypse now intro) Metallica - Wherever i may roam (live ver.) Nirvana - In Bloom Big Easy - Stone Temple Pilots Come Sail Away - Styx No Rain - Blind Melon Say Hello To Heaven - Temple Of The Dog -here is a small list of some of my favorites. Holy Hell where is stairway to heaven??? oh ya thats right its dead. | ||
| the best song ever? what the fuck? teh best song? there is no such thing, the best song for a certain emotion would make more sense. thing should be closed as its a stupid topic and for ASSholes to talk about shit. CLOSED | ||
| look guys the songs you have listed here are all classics. theres no point debating against the best song becuase there is no single best song. with the songs you have all sed you could easily make the best almub in the world | ||
| ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER Jimi Hendrix....STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN Led Zeppeling....PARANOID ANDROID Radiohead | ||
| 8 words! IRISH DRINKING SONG! (not counting the first word and one number) | ||
| in my opinion (1)Metallica - one (live versions are the best) (2)Metallica - master of puppets (3)Metallica - Fade to Black (4)Metallica - Sanitarium (Welcome Home) (5)Metallica - Sad but true (6)Metallica - Nothing else matters ...... and anything else from metallica rules | ||
| Some of my favorites are happiness is a warm gun- the beatles, One of these days- Pink Floyd, Peace Frog- The Doors. Stairway to Heaven is great but I like Babe i'm gonna leave you more. | ||
| All you ppl that think stairway to heaven is the best obviously don't know any zepplin. Just because it is the #1 requested song ever, listen to differ zep and you'll understand there are why better songs. My opinion would have to be Shine on you Crazy Diamond by pink floyd. Lyrics and instruments sound unbelievable. Also The End by The Doors, very pyschedelic song, u should give it a spin. PEACE!!! | ||
| Gregory Page - "Bon Voyage Mon Cheri" | ||
| Puff Daddy - I'll Be Missin U, hands down | ||
| In the past 50 or so years in America... The best songs of Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, Beatles, Pink Floyd are probably the best IMO. Also but to a little lesser extent, Billy Joel, Rolling Stones, the Who, Guns n Roses, Sublime, R.E.M Queen, Doors etc etc... Then you got... White Rabbit - Jefferson Airplane (and Sombody to love) Hotel California - Eagles Freebird - Lynrard Skynard Layla - Clapton White Room - Cream Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen So many other its hard to remeber... but more recently the greatest of the current genertation... Nirvana , Green Day, Sublime, R.E.M. U2 , Oasis, Foo Fighters NOFX, NiN, Smashing Pumpkins and Bright Eyes Albums like The Wall,. Dark side of the Moon, Whats the Story Morning Glory, Karma Police, Deja Entendu, and ovbiously albums by the Beatles etc... are just all around good albums and must be appreciated as a whole... Good Music is subjective though, but I think we can all agree that all pop music is terrible, any songs played on MTV and pop radio now and stuff like that is just pure crap sold to bunch of stupid teenagers (like me) who buy it ... | ||
| DUMB by nirvana or Adams song bu blink 182 stairway is a mad guitarists song to | ||
| Turn the Page by Bob Seager (not metallica) | ||
| the greatest song ever is dream on by aerosmith. | ||
| Ok, I agree with the dude who said there is no greatest. Although I am much less angry than said dude. It all depends upon the criteria. Some of my favourites are Whisky In The Jar by Thin Lizzy (and the Metallica version, not that fond of the Dubliners though), Master Of Puppets and Battery by Metallica, Blind by KoRn, Counterfeit by Limp Bizkit, Spit It Out by Slipknot, as many people have said Stairway To Heaven, Paranoid by Sabbath, and I could go on for ages. I can't decide for myself between these, let alone anything anyone else has said here. Like I said, it depends upon the criteria, and the criteria depends upon the listener. P.S. Thanks all, I'm just doing an essay on this. The questions is something along the lines of: "Is there such thing as a classic and what are the criteria?", although it's more drawn out. This site has helped a bit in showing me that there are no real classics, only personal favourites. | ||
| it's Dragostea Din Tei by none other than the romainian super group O-Zone. live it, learn it, love it... | ||
| john lennon-imagine | ||
| "strawberry fields forever" first and then "a day in the life" second. You just can't beat the beatles | ||
| crystal baller by 3eb, | ||
| Greatest song ever? Whiskey Bar - The Doors... There is no other, if you disagree I will fight you... That's no lie. | ||
| ah no!hav to agree with "spack" my lovely horse...pure genius..."my lovely horse, running through the fiels, i want to shower you with sugar lumps and bring you to the horse dentist" | ||
| the ocean by led zeppelin | ||
| There are a lot of great songs listed here. However... I must say that my favorite song is "The Boogie That Be" - Black Eyed Peas. I think the peas are great artists, and while this song isnt the greatest based on lyrics... I love the beat to it, and Fergie's solo! | ||
| Black Sabbath : Warpigs... Iron Man...ah! I could go on n on.... | ||
| Twinkle Twinkle Little Star | ||
| i wanna paint the greatest song ever on my wall in my room, can´t decide myself, you guys are no big help either, but i think i will go for ROMEO AND JULIET , LET IT BE, or BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY. on the other hand, my wall might not be long enough for queen. but you have to admit, it is just so cool. anyway are we voting for what we like most or what is the greatest? i think there is a big difference.... | ||
| Taste you can't discuss or compare, you just feel sorry for it. | ||
| 1.Stairway 2.Simple man 3.Hotel California 4.Freebird 5.All the people | ||
| Last Kiss- Pearl Jam is my favorite | ||
| Just one word: LAYLA!!!!!!! | ||
| All of you have brought many great songs to the table, Stairway, Stripped. but i am surprised that no one mentioned Gimme Shelter by the Rolling Stones. Now, i wouldnt say thats the best song ever, because i really dont know what is, its almost impossible to determine. But keep going, this is interesting. | ||
| Actually i take that back, stripped is no where near worthy. | ||
| let me live by queen has to be one of my favourite songs of all time.good old freddy :) | ||
| Trying to find a consesus on what is the "greatest song" is a futile execise.You may as well ask what is the "loveliest food or who is the most " attractive person."Or what is the most "beautifulest sight" in the world.Anything that arouses the senses,whether its sound,taste,sight or whatever will inevitably & quite rightly have a subjective effect on us.I cried the othe day listening to an obscure artist 99% of you have never heard of.Is that the greatest song? | ||
| Depeche Mode "enjoy the silence" is the best song ever written. yeah, the Ramstien version of stripped is good, too. Check out Depeche Mode's LIVE version of that song, though. it's better than the album version as it's more industrial & Dave Gehan's voice is deeper live... | ||
| Top five songs of all time 1.Like a hurricane- Neil Young 2.Money- Pink Floyd 3.Welcome to the Jungle-GnR 4.The logical song-Supertramp 5.Stairway yo Heaven- Led Zeppelin You cant camplain about this one! | ||
| The greatest song ever has got to be This Love-Maroon 5 .. they are the best band out there rite now..and in a close second is Hoobastank with The Reason... handsdown! | ||
| MY TOP TEN PIX (Just an opinion) 1- Simple Man- Lynard Skynard 2- Walk On Water- Ozzy 3- Fade To Black- Metallica 4- Stairway To Heaven- Led Zepplin 5- Dream On- Aerosmith 6- Turn The Page- Bob Seger 7- Schism- Tool 8- The Hurricane- Bob Dylan 9- Behind Blue Eyes- The Who 10- Turn Turn Turn- The Byrds | ||
| SIX WORDS BITCHES...IM TOO SEXY FOR MY SHIRT!!! | ||
| George Harrisons "Cheer Down" is absolutely the greatest song ever. This is a song that has "the beat" and catchy lyrics. I know that there´s allways be "Stairway to heaven" and "Hotel California" but this song you don´t get bored with... | ||
| La più bella canzone di sempre è "Una canzone per te" di Vasco Rossi..ma voi americani probabilmente non la conoscete. Best song ever is "Una canzone per te" by Vasco Rossi but you american probably don't know it..download it and tell me it isn't so! | ||
| Since its impossible to name the single greatest song ever, the songs I think deserve the most recognition are November rain, no rain, stairway, with or without you, and mabey....amarican pie. | ||
| The greatest song ever has to be queen bohemian rhapsody!!!C'mon it is legendary!!Who does not know the words!It has everything in a single song!!Second would hav to be November rain by Guns and roses!Awesome song and then When it gets to 6mins and 48 seconds it is even better!!Slash is a legend | ||

| All Oasis tunes are the dogs bolocks!!! but the best song has to be SUPER - FUCKIN - SONIC!!! supersonic is by far the best song, just shear quailty. WE R THE MODS!! Ocean Colour Sene and Paul Weller are all fuckin mint aswell laods of there tunes!!! MODS RULE!!! | ||
| The best song ever is of course Everlong by the Foo Fighters. Anyone who thinks otherwise obviously hasn't heard it. Dave Grohl is a genius, and he can play any instrument. | ||
| OASIS and CAST NO SHADOW there gos a band with talant. not like all of this pop crap and fuckun hip hop shit. Liam rocks! | ||
| I have to agree with A Dude (October 18, 2004): it's a pretty stupid discusion. Whilst I love Rock from Little Richard to Tom Waits, there's all that wonderful jazz, and those crafted songs by the likes of Cole Porter, Jerome Kern, etc. AND GET THIS: George Frederick Handel composed the whole of his Messiah in just twenty-one days!! Get real, guys. | ||
| I think the greatest songs ever are Layla, Stairway To Heaven, No Woman No Cry, and anything by the Beatles... | ||
| My fav songs are by this japenese girl called tsukiko amano, especially tokeidai no kane, it conjurs up such emotion and is a joy to listen to...download it and see for your self | ||
| I really think Led Zep has come up with much better stuff than Stairway.Black Dog, Immigrant song, since i've been loving u..they are all much better. I never could understand the hype associated with Stairway and Hotel Cali(eagles).They are just ordinary songs to my ears.Theres heaps of much better and serious music.Listen to cream,Rush,UFO,Black Sabbath,Wishbone Ash..lots and lots man.No way Stairway is the best. | ||
| Eminem - Puke Makes me feel so good. | ||
| My Favorite, not the best ever coz its too hard, but my favorite song atm is Layla - By Eric Clapton | ||
| ok now Stairway To Heaven is one of the best songs ever but i think its deffinitly "all about eve" by rock god steve vai look it up and jest enjoy | ||
| Freebird by Lynyrd Skynyrd, thats all i have to say. | ||
| Personally EVERLONG by FOO FIGHTERS written by DAVE GROHL is the greatest song ever, so good it needs no explaination | ||
| YOU GUYS ARE GAYYYY THE BEST SONG IN THE WORLD IS BRITTNEY SPEARS- TOXIC.....IF OYU DONT AGREE THEN GET OUT LOLZ | ||
| best song ever is without a doubt "Wonderwall " Oasis I just looooove that song | ||
| ok all this arguing is ffunny cause there can't be a greatest song ever how can you even define great.. there couldd be most popular but you can't proclaim a best song becausee everyone has different tastes in music somee would say mozart some would say britney alot have said stairway but this is popular opinion not greatness. Unlike a sportss event you can't meassure musicc in records or best songs
(Editor's note: What arguing?) |
||
| I think that "Imagine" is the greatest lyrical song ever written | ||
| Kashmir-Led Zeppelin Sympathy for the Devil-The Rolling Stones Hotel California-The Eagles Won't get fooled again-The Who Baba O'riley-The Who Time-Pink Floyd Freebird-Lynyrd Skynyrd Achilles' Last Stand-Led Zeppelin While My Guitar Gently Weeps-The Beatles Light my fire-The Doors In my Life-The Beatles Pinball Wizard-The Who Dazed and Confuzed-Led Zeppelin Sad eyed lady of the lowlands-Bob Dylan Season of the Witch-Donovan American Pie-Don Mclean Long cool woman in a black dress-The Hollies Midnight Rambler-The Rolling Stones Ballad of a thin man-Bob Dylan Purple Haze-Jimi Hendrix | ||
| I have to say "only in dreams" by weezer, | ||
| ok my favorite song is summer of 69 but even i cant deny the fact that Stairway to heaven is the greatest song ever. Jimmy Page is the greatest song writter of all time. Also American Pie that is in my oppinion the 2nd greatest song ever! | ||
| I'm typing this from beyond the grave ...and no it's not imagine, thats not the greatest song ever.. that would be the greatest song I wrote on my own, maybe the best lyrics I've ever written. But, the greatest song ever, would have to be 1970'S Across the Universe, which I wrote with Paul. Though, he didn't enjoy the way it was produced for Let It Be, I can see now that it without question The Beatles most important and best song. Therefore, making it the greatest song ever. | ||
| Bob Marley - No Woman No Cry...apparently none of you have lived yet sice this is easily the greatest song every written and preformed...second is Let It Be | ||
| Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody and Stairway to Heaven are the greatest of the greats... Nirvana sucks shit holes they have no talent | ||
| CHOP SUEY! BY SYSTEM OF A DOWN ok maybe not the greatest song ever (hint: there is no greatest song ever) but its THE best band that still exist and you SHOULD listen to them | ||
| Bright Eyes : Bowl of Oranges | ||
| NO DOUBT THE BEST BAND IS 'THE STROKES'. THEY ARE KEEPING ROCK GOING. THE BEST SONG IS 'LAST NITE'. THEY ARE THE COOLEST BAD EVER TO LIVE. | ||
| I agree with the Come Sail Away comment. Also Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody is an awesome song. Love it in Wayne's World. | ||
| you all yanks dont have a clue.. best song ever is a simple choise... Like a rolling stone by Bob Dylan no argue | ||
| I am not saying this song is the GREATEST ever, all I'm saying is i really like it, and its really good..u might not agree..but hey its not like ur hurting my feelings..lol the song is Vindicated by Dashboard Confessional | ||
| Styx-Come Sail Away. I can't think of any reason this would not be the greatest song or not. Whether your a styx fan or not, Come Sail Away just makes everything better. | ||
| Once in a lifetime- Talking Heads | ||
| What?...I have not seen anything about TOOL. Tool having the greatest lyrics in all of rock. Sure I enjoy many other groups Zepplin, Pink Floyd, System of down, The Who and many others....but tool by far has some of the greatest lyrics. Just take a listen to them. | ||
| what? No one has mentioned TOOL, some of the greatest songs has came from them such as "The Grudge", "Lateralus", and "Sober". Just Listen to them you will see. | ||
| i think the greatest song ever is you dont by simple plan. its just the best. | ||
| america, fuck ya! team america soundtrack no dought | ||
| best songs: 1.stairway to heaven 2.guns n roses cover of knocking on heavens door 3.most bob dylan songs 4.smells llike teen spirit | ||
| I don't wanna miss a thing - aerosmith....enuff sed. | ||
| PASCHENDALE by Iron Maiden is my favorite of all time!! Stairway to Heaven is a very close second, maybe even tied for first. awesome song... | ||
| some of you are picking your favorite song (as opposed to the greatest song). In my opinion, Yesterday (Beatles) or Purple Haze (Jimi Hendrix) is the best song ever. Any band thats started after the years 1997 sucks (very few exceptions) Pop sucks Velvet Revolver is a joke (im a GNR fan to the max.) MTV is controlled by facist followers of Hitler (replay the music backwards and you'll know what im talking about) jk about the hitler part but MTV still sucks | ||
| you all are incompitent fools. you are picking your favorite song instead of the ones that are true genious. regardless of me being a massive GNR fan, i would say Coma is one of my favorite songs (november rain sucks... true GNR fans know that). crazy train is also really good.
VELVET REVOLVER IS HORRIBLE!!!
(Editor's note: Well, I we are supposed to be picking songs based on musical genious, should not we be concentrating on Mozart, Beethovan, Tchaikovsky, etc.?) |
||
| I gotta agree, there are alot of great classic songs here, Lot from GnR, Clapton, Beatles, One from nirvana...........And once again we cant forget stairway to heaven, but my favorite (doesnt mean its the best ever but i like it the most) has got to be All along the watchtower. | ||
| Grand Funk Railroad - I'm Your Captain (Closer to Home) | ||
| Jeff Buckley - Lover, You Should Have Come Over Can't believe his name didn't come up already. | ||
| NOVEMBER RAIN by GnR hands down | ||
| Stairway is pretty cool, but for me it's gotta be Kashmir, then maybe Hurt by NIN | ||
| free bird by LynyrdSkynyrd there is nothing like it | ||
| Ther is a serious lack of Beatles mentioned here. I believe one of the best songs ever written would have to be "A Day int the Life" by the Beatles. It's hard to tell what the #1 song of all time would be though. | ||
| Freebird by Lynard Skynard | ||
| two best songs ever:- 1.Unfinished symphony by massive attack and one by U2. No contest. | ||
| Y will noone consider Price - Purple Rain or the beatles - yesterday or for cryin out loud Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody! I mean I had to scroll miles down to see John Lennon - Imagine which is easily the most moving song ever along with marvine gaye - whats going on! These songs get a message across not ur crap rammstein german loser crap! How can eiffein reich alestein euch hitler be good? Please stop the bulls**t n give decent answers!
(Editor's note: Um, as far as I know, Rammstein has never made any reference to Hitler. In case you have not noticed, Most Rammstein lyrics happen to be about god, angels, love, etc. Same stuff that's written about over here.) |
||
| THE GREATEST SONG EVER---- IS what would you do! | ||
| LISTEN TO SLITHER BY VELVET REVOLVER AND YOU WILL BE PUT INTO A EVERLASTING STATE OF SHOCK | ||
| What a stupid discussion. There is no greatest song ever written, it's all opinion. For me, "Clocks" by Coldplay really does it, but some people might disagree. For what it is, it rocks, it's fantastically written and a brilliant song. But plenty of other music is just as good. | ||
| "Must be a 13 year old antisocial MTV lover dying for social acceptance..We're all about classic rock, not about some emo garbage nobody listens to. You can make a case for Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd or Imagine by John Lennon..." Actually, no, I am 16 years old, I never watch MTV, I hate pop and I am doing a university degree in musicology. I have composed for orchestra and recorded two CDs of alternative rock. Jacques Loussier's Goldberg Variations was recorded in the same studio as most of Pink Floyd's The Wall. By the way, "Clocks" by Coldplay is as good as it gets. For someone who has studied music from the fourteenth century through the present day, that's what I like chilling out to in the evening. Now stop being so judgemental and bugger off. | ||
| "Pink Get this party started" Ha ha. Of course. Has anybody remembered "Ice Ice Baby"? | ||
| Stairway to heaven is overrated, I think. Perhaps its just my taste. It's good, but it doesn't move me. Australian music rocks!!!! Buy some. | ||
| Your all so very wrong, for anyone to just choose one single song as the "Greatest" is very difficult, however, it has to be one of the below; U2 - With or without you Prince - What if God was one of us (Joan Osbourne cover) Elton John - Your Song The Rolling Stones - Miss You | ||
| Stairway to Heaven- especcialy live at madison square garden -
any Zeppelin fan NEEDs to get the DvD it was worth the 28 dollars i paid at walmart for it deffinantly
.....p.s. no offence but......CHANGE THE SKINS ON THIS PAGE! THEY MAKE ME FEAL LIKE TO PUKE WHEN I READ!!
(Editor's note: Properly set up your video card.) |
||
| Hmm. Vincent (Starry Starry Night) - Don McLean Cats In the Cradle - Harry Chapin Exodus - Beethoven sung by Liberace Luka - Suzanne Vega Tears In Heaven - Eric Clapton Last Night I Dreamt Somebody Loved Me - The Smiths Hurt - NIN The Flight of the Valkyries - Richard Wagner Whiter Shade of Pale - Procol Harum Wild Horses - Rolling Stones Everybody Hurts - REM Hebrew Parvarim - Erev Shel Shoshanim Hikari - Utada Hikaru | ||
| Umm Stairway for sure number one also Wish You Were Here- Pink Floyd Changes- Tupac Smells Like Teen Spirit- Nirvana Redemption Song- Bob Marley In Memory of Elizabeth Reed- Allman Brothers Brain Damage- Pink Floyd Anyway, Anywhere, Anyhow- The Who Come Togeather- The Beatles Let It Be- The Beatles haha probally spelled and got all the song names wrong but you people know what i ment... | ||
| SIMPLE MAN by Lynyrd Skynyrd Everyone LISTEN to the damn lyrics! Then you will see what I mean. The tie IMO is between that song and Bob Seager's - Like A Rock. I have no clue what your ages are but if you want a song that will take you back (I am 22 and when the lyrics 20 years now are sung I just think of 4 years) any numbers of years in your life, Like A Rock is that song. Listen tot he lyrics. | ||
| No rain is ace, billy bob, the masses have a point with Stairway to Heaven as its got it all and changed music for ever. But Freebird is the greatest song ever because of the sentiment and guitars. | ||
| no no no, the best song ever is 'my lovely horse' off father ted. it's about a great horse, enough said. | ||
| Blind Melon - No Rain....HAnds down the best song ever written. Also Tenacious D - Tribute(best song in the world) : ) | ||
| nirvana smells like teen spirit greatest song ever. Never heard ne thing like it Kurt Cobain's voice goes from a beautiful melody to a high pitches scream. Its an amazing song. It changed music forever | ||
| Why do you people bother to decide that the best song in the world has even been written. The only music that is truely living is the music being written today (and I mean written by the proformer not some major label's bitch lyricist). Having said this I'd like to say that the best thing to do, rather than argue over some pathetic thing such as what the greatest song is?, would be to go out into the living world and find what is happening in good music (hint don't turn on MTV, they tell you what the popular music will be).
Any way everybody knows that Tell me`what you you want by the Spice Girls is the greatest....... (it's called sarcasm deal with it)
(Editor's note: The only one I see arguing here is you. Calm down, count to 10 and go to your happy place. The world is not out to destroy you, and that attitude will certainly not help you in life). |
||
| Fast Car by Tracy Chapman is class! Stairway to Heaven is too, and Baba O'Reilly by The Who as well. And yes, most old music, like these three, is better than modern music except for a couple of great modern singers/bands. I think this, and i'm only 14. So there! | ||
| bohemian raphody by queen is by far the best song ever | ||
| Ok, I changed my mind. "Layla" and "Crazy Diamond" take second and thrid place. The greatest song ever in my book is now "Roundabout" by Yes. Everybody listen to that song (blast it if you can!) and tell me it isn't fucking amazing. | ||
| Honestly I don't always like to agree with the most popular choice, but stairway to heaven, in my opinion, is probably the greatest song ever. There are so many great song out there though (all zeppelin songs are amazing.) The only thing that pissed me off are people who put down punk and new pop punk on their lists for greatest songs. Its rediculous. The music isn't original, it all sounds the exact same, basically all power chords (those can be great but are often over used), and it's just boring. Also "Babe I'm gonna leave you" by zeppelin is one of the bests songs I've ever heard. | ||
| I personally think that Bohemian Rhapsody's d greatest song ever, but Stairway to Heaven is immortal and will eventually be d gretest dong ever if u kno wat i mean. ps: if it wasnt for sabbath and zeppelin then new found glory yellowcard blink 182 and all those guys wouldnt exist. also, smells like teen spirit and sweet child o mine come close to stairway. so does wont be fooled again and master of puppets. Even tho bohemian rhapsody is better (i mean imagine sitting down and writing dat song...its so weird), stairway is more powerful | ||
| boheminan rapsody by queen is by far the best song ever. | ||
| STH is a classic alright but my favourite song has to be Guns and roses november Rain it is just unreal nothing can compare to it.AS for the new punk rockers please go away and listen to Faith No More the basis by which all great bands should be held.Oh yeah and Highway to Hell by ACDC is another classic> | ||
| Biffy Clyro- 27 | ||
| You all can say what ever you want but the greatest song ever is "Smells Like Teen Spirit" that son change generations oh and by the way NIRVANA ROCKS | ||
| SWTH is a great song but ill just finish this debate right here and right now The best song ever written is - Going underground by the Jam it has it all - crashing intro, harsh lyrics and and epic chorus Paul Weller is a genius | ||
| guys guys guys yes classic rock is truly the best and StH is a good song but no one will agree on what classic rock song is the best i personally love lynyrd skynyrd all who love them say "I" | ||
| To Super-Duper all those wondering why some people like to listen to old music, here's why: modern music SUCKS. There is NOTHING for me in modern music, save for a few artists (none of which are mainstream). Now, you listed New Found Glory, Sum41, and Blink182 as a wave of new bands. Put those bands against old bands like Zeppelin, Santana, Cream, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Pink Floyd, Ten Years After, and they don't even BEGIN to compare. 60s and 70s music was by far the best rock music ever created, and that's a fact. The greatest song ever written would have to be either "Layla" by Derek and the Dominos (Eric Clapton) or "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" by Pink Floyd. | ||
| Stairway to Heaven is undoubtly the classic of all time. But here are 3 of my other top songs..all of them have great message n music !) " Dont stop Believing" by Journey 2) " Every Step You Take" by Sting and the police 3) " Hotel California" Eagles | ||
| In my humble opinion,I must disagree with you all. It's "Song Bird" by Eva Cassidy. P.S. To the hostle music lovers. Practice expressing yourself without putting down one with a different opinion. | ||
| Voodoo Chile fools! | ||
| Big Ears: It's spelled "Tzaichovsky". It's best not reference thing unless you know a bit about them, even if doing so somehow makes you feel like the intelligent person you obviously are not. Good luck with your self esteem issues. Incidentally, 'Sister Christian' by Night Ranger is clearly the greatest song ever, with an honorable mention to Laura Brannigan for her heart-wrenching 'Ti Amo' | ||
| MUSE - Deadstar, or unintended...........The mars volta - son et lumiere | ||
| Met de trein naar oosteinde - Spring | ||
| I dont know that I could pick a greatest song. I am thinking Metallica the more and more I listen to them are awesome. Gns N Roses are awesome. Of course I grew up listening to late 70's early 80's music. I just like musci in general. So I would have to say. ANy song with good lyrics and a nice beat. Yeah thats my favorite. | ||
| Well if you all want the truth. Ask anyone. Old country turds or even rock turds. Elton John and The Beattles set the way for all bands. If it wasnt for those two we wouldnt have had the great bands of the 70's and 80's. And I wasnt personally a great fan of them. I liked some of the songs. | ||
| And one of the greatest song writers was one of the most HAYNOUS singers of his time. Bob Dylan. He wrote some excellent songs that other great bands went on to remkae and were great songs. | ||
| Okay.. In my opinion Stairway To Heaven is the greatest song ever... But that's just my opinion.. And I think of it this way.. All you people that think Blink 182 and New Found Glory and stuff like created the greatest songs ever.. No!.. Think again.. Because those guys probably wouldn't even be bands if it wasn't for Led Zeppelin and bands from way back then... So yeah that's all i'm sayin. | ||
| Blur - Song 2, nothing more to say from my side.. | ||
| I couldn't possibly pick a favorite but Stairway to Heaven is a classic. I'd much rather listen to Simple Man by Lynard Skynard. Don McLean's tribute to Vincent Van Gogh entitled Vincent is beautiful when it comes to lyrics. For a good laugh, I'd recommend an Irish drinking song called Under the Scotman's Kilt. I have no idea who sings it but that is a damn good song. As for all of your suggestions, I didn't take the time to read them. Why argue over opinions, right? I will shoot down one argument however and make it known that all punk rock sucks. This Good Charlotte and Simple Plan bullshit...no thanks. | ||
| Tribute by Tenacious D is like looking into the eyes of God and seeing him smiling back at you saying, "You are my most beloved of all creation." The pope then turns to you saying, "Set in stone, you make me quiver in your mere gloriousness" Ya thats what its like. | ||
| Has to be clocks by coldplay. BEST SONG EVER. StH is good, but this is MUCH BETTER. | ||
| The Greatist song ever is "Cliffs of Dover", by Eric Johnson, no doubt | ||
| Hmm, Lynyrd Skynyd - FreeBird | ||
| 1.Stairway to Heaven2.Smells Like Teen Spirit3.Imagine4.hotel california. | ||
| Personally, I think stairway to heaven is the greatest song ever made. It is not because anyone told me that it was the greatest song in the world cause I didn't know anything about it the first time I heard it. I am very qualyfied in this area of knowledge though I listen to all kind of music and play a lot of instruments. I love music and i love stairway to heaven. It's so fuckin perfect. It starts of with just the guitar and a flute and later on the bass and the drums gets in as well. Then it fades over to the fuckin fantastic solo and becomes a rock song. And then jimmys voice raises an o and it ends so perfect. Of course it's my personall opinion, but I think that all you guys that say it sucks are fuckin idiots without musical experience. LED ZEPPELIN ROCKS! | ||
| Rammstein sucks and "smells like teen spirit" by nirvana is even that great so shut the hell up! I'd have to go with a led zeppelin song like kashmir. | ||
| ARGUABLY "BOHEMIANS RHAPSODY" | ||
| all i have to say is g-g-g-g-ggg- unit. JK, Stair way to heaven is probably the boring song i've ever heard. If you like that kind of music, you better go with 'Let it Be' | ||
| eric clapton has the greatest songs ever every one knows that | ||
| The Greatest Song Ever would be Tear Away, as interpreted by Drowning Pool. To agree with this opinion, you must have experienced a great deal of anguish. Stairway to Heaven is indeed a great song, but there is no message there. The music is incredible, but the meaning is lacking. Try Tear Away, and you can feel the pain of rejection, suffering, and heartbreak. Another contender is I Hate Everything About You, by Three Days Grace. | ||
| All the songs mentioned are great but i think the greatest song of all time has to be hands down....STAND BY ME! by Ben E. King. It's a classic. (also a sweet movie) | ||
| Enstranged by Guns N' Roses Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen Hotel California by The Eagles If you said a pop punk band wrote the best song ever then do your self a favor and cut your ears off. | ||
| There is no ONE Greatest Song Ever, but for sure (for sure?) songs that you like and love depending on your mood, and then there are songs that whatever your mood is like are stronger than this mood of yours and get you right there and you just feel the song and the song's mood is your mood from now on. can anyone agree on that one? :) please tell me i'm a fuckhead or so. i love constructive criticism! | ||
| There is no such thing as the greatest song ever! Every song is personal, nobody is ever going to agree. A song is about what it means to you, but that doesn't mean it's the best song ever, hands down. I mean, how many songs are there. Millions and millions. Although some of my favourites would have to be ... All Kinds of Time by Fountains of Wayne, Yellow by Coldplay, Your Song by Elton John. Anything by the Beatles is cool too. | ||
| Your Song by Elton John. Yellow by Coldplay. All Kinds of Time by Fountains of Wayne. Amsterdam by Coldplay. Fallen by Sarah McLachlan. Variation 30 from Jacques Loussier Trio's Goldberg Variations. Life for Rent by Dido. Estoy Aqui by Shakira. Drops of Jupiter by Train. Love Your Way by Powderfinger. None are the greatest ever written, but I like them all. | ||
| Got to be Eric B and Rakim - Paid In Full (coldcut remix) | ||
| No. No. No. Its "Sell My Old Clothes, I'm Off To Heaven" by Saves The Day. No conteest ^Must be a 13 year old antisocial MTV lover dying for social acceptance..We're all about classic rock, not about some emo garbage nobody listens to..You can make a case for Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd or Imagine by John Lennon..However, I believe solely based on the difficulty and genius of the 9 pages of songwriting and notes, November Rain is the greatest song ever written. GNR (especially Axl Rose) are fucking gods.. | ||
| obviously its "smells like team spirit" by the LEGEND Nirvana | ||
| I'd have to say Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody...' | ||
| Pink Get this party started | ||
| ...i'm easy interpreted by faith no more is the greatest song ever. that's logical cause faith no more is (well, was) the best band ever. easy as that. | ||
| imagine by john lennon. now thats a song. do you realize by flaming lips. you all have really bad taste and you need to study music before you make claims. | ||
| 1. Last kiss - Pearl Jam 2. Hotel California - Eagle 3. Wonderful Tonight - Eric Clapton | ||
| why does no-one consider tracy chapman - fast car. this has to be up there with the best of them its a touch of class. please listen to this song then tell me its not the best. | ||
| I would have to say In Bloom by Nirvana or Alive by Pearl Jam. | ||
| It would have to be either Alive or Daughter by Pearl Jam or In Bloom by Nirvana. | ||
| stairway to heavan is way too old i dont get how you could like it the new wave of bands are coming in: New Found Glory, Yellowcard, Sum 41, Blink 182, and much more. How could you say an old song a very old song is the best song. I have a band too check it out at www.roadrashgames.co.nr | ||
| Hello! the greatest song ever is not stairway to heavan that song is too old it gets boring after a while. I think the greatest songs ever are: "Ocean Avenue" by Yellowcard "All Downhill From Here" by new found glory and "Fat Lip" by Sum 41 and if you want a song that isn't know by many people: "Capital H" by motion city soundtrack | ||
| It has to be "Can't Take My Eyes Off You"...it doesn't matter who sings it, it's still sound good!!!!!! You all have to agree wit me on that one!!! | ||
| y cannt someone give his ears a li'l rest, plas!!! Annies Song by John Denver is the eVeR EvEr greatest.... nothing comes closer | ||
| my favourites are stairway, hotel california, free bird, every rose has its thorn and child in time | ||
| nononono the greatest song ever is fuck her gently by Tenacious D
(By the title alone, you can tell that the song is incredibly well written, destined to be a classic, and appropriate material for impressionable children...) |
||
| One by Metallica, or bourbin and lacs by Master P www.7mpower.com | ||
| Stairway to heaven is without a doubrt a great song, but for me the best song is November rain by G n R. The guitar on the end of the song is just too strong. | ||
| r. kelly: The worlds greatest | ||
| No way is Stairway the greatest song ever. People who say that haven't heard their good stuff. Black Dog, Fool in the Rain, Bron Yr Aur, they're all better than StH. | ||
| "Pop Music of the Future" by Say Hi to Your Mom is my favorite song Very indie That's just my opinion. Everyone's got different tastes, right? (Editor's note: Right. Just a song.) | ||
| fuck stairway to heaven. I have never made it through the entire song, I always fall asleep. The only reason you like it is the media and your friends say its such a good song. If you were smart enough you would have your own opinion (Editor's note: Whoa there...Calm down guys. It's just a song.) |
||
| Guys...the best song has to be "Achey Breaky Heart" by somebody I don't know the name...but man....what a GREAT SONG! rofl (seriously it's Stairway to Heaven) | ||
| First of all, "Jimmy Page", you should realize that all the Zepplin guys f'ing hate Stairway. I think it is the greatest ever, even if the lyrics make no sense. Under those, I see: Live and Let Die Dazed and Confused The End Du Reich Su Gut Asche zu Asche Paint it Black Iron Man All equal. | ||
| Please, you people who like stairway to heaven are idiots. Get with the times Stairway To Heaven is dead! It's dead! Get over it! No one listens to it anymore. | ||
| The greatest ever song by far is "Its my life" by Jon Bon Jovi . You cant argue with that! | ||
| Dont look back into the Sun, or Death on the Stairs by the Libertines | ||
| Stairway to heaven and then Over the Hills and far Away | ||
| It just has to be stairway to heaven its sheer mastery. But my favourite Nirvana song is not smells like teen spirit, although it is good, Not enought people have heard aero zeppelin, nirvanas best without a doubt | ||
| Smokie- Who the fuck is Alice, For a few dollars more! Secret Service- Ten o'clock postman Queen- Show must go on And many more can't pick up my favorite either | ||
| No. No. No. Its "Sell My Old Clothes, I'm Off To Heaven" by Saves The Day. No conteest | ||
| I am tired of people saying Led Zeppelin - Stairway to heaven is the best song! Why? "Because I have read it on another internet page...", you´ll say. ARG. that song is really too boring to be the BEST EVER. Personally, i cant pick out a favourite | ||
| Let's end this now: The greatest song ever is "Sweet Child O' Mine" by G 'n' R. Albeit the others are a close second. | ||
| The greatest song ever would have to be either Stairway to Heaven or The Ocean. Or maybe it's Black Dog. Or Going to California. Or That's the Way. OK, I have no idea, but it has to be a Zeppelin song. | ||
| wtf no one mentioned "its the end of the world(and i feel fine) by r.e.m | ||
| none of you have any musical talent at all and the fucking smells like teen spirt solo was probably written by a chimp the greatest songs in the world are written by bob dylan or mozart or tchacophsky
(Editor's note: Whoa there...Calm down...) |
||
| We all have different opions of what the greatest song is. I don't feel that stairway To Heaven is that great of a song. I would say that the greatest song. I would say that the greatest song of all time is Dream On by Aerosmith | ||
| You are all fools ENTER SANDMAN is the best song ever. | ||
| You all fuckin' idiots, have you ever listened to ESTRANGED by Guns & Roses instead of jerkin' off in front of Britney's videos?? Estranged is just the superb fuckin amazing song ever written, you dumbasses! | ||
| Stairway to heaven, anyone who disagrees is a total idiot. | ||
| Stairway to Heaven is the best song ever - it has everything. It's a ballad, but towards the end it also rocks. It is epic and intimate. It is the most moving, majestic piece of music ever recorded. Then again I might be biased seeing as I wrote it ;) | ||
| Clearly Stairway to Heaven. Let it Be takes second. | ||
| Stairway to Heaven | ||
| STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN by Led Zeppelin absolutely, hands down, no arguing is the BEST SONG EVER. | ||
