Greatest Song Ever

[Near Fantastica 07]

I'm gonna have to be the only one pretty much who goes with matt good. I'm gonna have to say avalanche. I'm not 100% on what it meant to him when he wrote it. But it hits home inside my head. means alot.

[HouseOfSmokeAndMirrors]

its a tie between bohemian rhapsody and i'm in love with my car by Queen ;)

[slegros]

Gothan City Serenade - Big Rude Jake

 

It's just an awesome song

[strummer]

Blown Wide Open - Big Wreck

Saw that song performed live just last night. Not too bad, but as far a Big Wreck/Thornley goes, I prefer "That Song",(which they played too.)

I'd love to get a live version of it. I haven't seem big/thornley since they opened for Matt Good in Ottawa years ago. You don't happen to have a bootleg do you?

Fake Plastic Trees - Radiohead

[VTSV]

Greatest song ever? Or favorite song ever? I'm gonna go with the latter. Either:

Matthew Good Band - A Boy And His Machine Gun

or

The Weakerthans - This Is A Fire Door: Never Leave Open

[AnOceanPearl]

The Eagles - Hotel California

 

Though this answer will probably change in like, a minute.

I have to agree with you on this one.

1979 - Smashing Pumpkins

 

 

And since we're on a Matt Good site, I do have to mention Apparitions.

[garsk]

my vote is for "the boxer" by simon and garfuncle

[Corrinshwa]

Weapon - Matthew Good

 

or

 

Me and Jerome - Sarah Slean

[Jarrod]

Today I am in love with Matthew Good's music. I really wanna hear Prime Time Delieverence and a Boy and His Machine Gun..

 

Please don't bother me about my spelling today.

[somnambulist]

Eagles - Hotel California

 

MGB - Born To Kill

[Jarrod]

Born to Kill has to be one of the best songs ever composed. To me it sounds like the band is having a pissing contest with the orchastra where in the end no one wins and it just ends.

[somnambulist]

I agree, it is one of the greatest. I actually prefer the original version, with its rawness and sincerity.

[AnOceanPearl]

I retract "Hotel California" and in it's place, I choose "Boys of Summer" by Don Henley.

[Ravenous Yam]

I can't say one song is the greatest, but my favourite (most of the time) is Explosions In The Sky's 'Your Hand In Mine'. I can listen to that song back-to-back almost forever.

[Shortcut To Moncton]

Definitely not a matthew good/band song, that's for sure.

[Kenwell]

Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb. I don't know why, but that song just seems so perfect. Like when it goes, "It's just a little pin-prick..." and you can hear a little orchestral chime...just amazing.

Lateralus by tool has to go in there

[heyrabbit]

I retract "Hotel California" and in it's place, I choose "Boys of Summer" by Don Henley.

ooh that's a good one.

 

that song by big wreck wins it for me. it's perfection

[dancing_invisible]

"Greatest song ever" is an impossible question.

 

I wonder if that's been said before... I'm way to lazy to check.

 

Honestly a million songs come to mind that are just amazing, but I can't pick one...

[HoboFactory]

Lateralus by tool has to go in there

What a joke.

[Audio of Being]

Reach Down-Temple of the Dog

[Blender]

What a joke.

 

you cannot be serious.....

Lateralus is, indeed, a fantastic song. Without doubt my favourite track that Tool's ever produced.

 

I'm absolutely stunned that not a single person has said Stairway, yet.

 

Go back a little in time, and you get some truly inspiring work, every decade, but in the face of all of it (even the hushed, haunting 'where am I and what have I done to myself?' sentiment of Floyd's Wish You Were Here), I'm just perpetually struck by the incredibly wide appeal, instant recognition, accessibility, and gorgeous anti-materialist sentiment of Zep's most famous tune.

 

Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin (Someone had to say it.)

 

Though, my favourite song of all time is Hey Jude.
