My opinion:
Slipknot's "Wait and Bleed". Don't knock it, till you listen to it. Can get it off of Napster till. Even better when you know the lyrics. ([url]http://lyrics.com[/url]) It's an extreamly poetic song. |
|
1) "Hall Of Mirrors", by Kraftwerk.
2) "Silent Running", by Mike + The Mechanics. |
|
"Annie Get Your Gun"
Hands down, no competition! Seriously, I like "Who Can Say" by Enya. My wife likes "Affirmation" by Savage Garden |
|
Three that come to mind right away:
"Midnight Blue" by I forget "Copperhead Road" by I forget "Born in the USA" by the Boss Someone help me out with the first two? |

Even though it was not written as a song Amazing Grace is the greatest song of all time as long as you believe in G-d that is. It just does something to you every time you hear it at least it does to me.
|
|
I'll agree with you there, Sniper; I have the scottish backpipe version of Amazing Grace (similar to the one in "Braveheart", and what is played at the funerals of LEO's). Now THAT Sh*t gives me chillbumps everytime I hear it.

"Copperhead Road" by I forget View Quote [b]STEVE EARLE[/b] I have all his CDs and met him at a theatre in Fargo, ND. I love his music but don't agree with many of his views. Had to listen to him preach his opinions against capital punishment. He's also an active environmentalist(anti-mining and exploration). My favorite of his is [b]"The Rain Came Down".[/b] A song in support of the farmers loosing their land at sheriffs auctions. FARM AID |

You mean I have to give up Steve Earle AND U2?! Come to think of it Bruce Springstein let fly with some pretty stupid rhetoric also. (sigh) As you grow older you start losing idols big time. Thanks for jogging my memory by the way. |

My personnal theme song has always been "FREEBIRD" by Lynnard Skynanrd.
But I have to agree that "AMAZING GRACE" is probably the best. sgtar15 |
|
I'm not sure. I have my favorites but it has to be something from the Beatles. Yesterday, maybe.
|
|
I too like Tool. I thought that song Anema was how they felt about society in general, it's actually about Kalifornia(sums that state up real well), still cracks me up when I hear it(in a black humor sort of way). I still like to apply the theme to today's society, can't help it because that's the way I feel about the modern world sometimes.
Got to many favorites to list, just about anything from: Tool Rob Zombie Led Zeppelin Pink Floyd Beatles ACDC Judas Priest Van Halen Jimi Hendrix And of course that oldy: "The National Anthem" |
|
Comfortably numb - pink floyd
Georgia on my mind - ray charles |
|
Amazing Grace is THE best song you can think of?!?
I think you better hurry, your rocket ship to planet whack-o is boarding. |
|
"Shake the Disease" - Depeche Mode
"It's my life" - Talk Talk "Electric Blue" - Icehouse "Crazy" - Icehouse "Perfect Imposter" - On "New Moon On Monday" - Duran Duran "Foolin'" - Def Leppard "Round and Round" - New Order |
|
'The Star Spangled Banner' was the 'best' song ever written, IMHO, considering the circumstances facing the composer.
'Amazing Grace' was the 'best' song ever written, IMHO, considering its effect on the listener. The rest is just background noise.[:D] Eric The Hun |

"Can't find my way home" by Stevie Winwood

I never really listened to Amazing Grace until a lone piper played it on a wind swept cold winter day in a grave yard while our Battalion buried a soldier who was killed in an accident. I've never heard it the same since.
On a lighter note. Stairway to Heaven Hotel California Simple Man by Charlie Daniels. |
|
Of course Aenema my Tool has to be up there, but I can believe nobody has mentioned Metallica yet. They has some of the best lyrics on Master of Puppets and And Justice for all.
Disposable heros - Life planned out before my birth, nothing could I say had no chance to see myself, molded day by day Looking back I realize, nothing have I done left to die with only friend Alone I clench my gun That has to be my favorite verse on all of their songs, but there wrote a lot of songs against goverment control, especially on Master. |

VIVA LAS VEGAS
...and the best performance I’ve ever heard of this 100x covered song is in the film “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” with Johnny Depp and Benicio del Torro! It is played in full length at the end of the film...great!!! |
|
Moody Blues- Knights in White Satin
Led Zeppelin- Stairway to Heaven Journey- Wheel in the Sky |

Quoted: "The Marines Hymn" Semper Fi View Quote Out-damned-standing, Brother! Ahem... “From the Halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli; We fight our country’s battles In the air, on land, and sea; First to fight for right and freedom And to keep our honor clean; We are proud to claim the title Of United States Marine. “Our flag’s unfurled to every breeze from dawn to setting sun; We have fought in every clime and place Where we could take a gun; In the snows of far-off Northern lands And in sunny tropic scenes; You will find us always on the job- The UNITED STATES MARINES. “Here’s health to you and to our Corps which we are proud to serve; In many a strife we’ve fought for life And never lost our nerve; If the Army and the Navy Ever look on Heaven’s scenes, They will find the streets are guarded By UNITED STATES MARINES!” Also, Garryowen, fantastic list there partner. Any list that has Hank and Ministry on it is all right with me. Kinda looks like my CD rack. Semper Fidelis Jarhead out. |

I see many great songs here, but with the exception of the few patriotic ones I doubt any of them could come close to being the "greatest song ever written".
Captain oblivious, no one else has bit on it so I will comment on Wait and Bleed. I pretty much don't like slipknot or what they stand for, when I saw them live and they announced to the crowd that Surfacing was "your new national anthem" it pretty much pissed me off for good. Especially since Surfacing is just them chanting the f-word. Wait and Bleed is the only Slipknot song I give into liking because it is so damn good but to call it the best ever? I personally think My Way is a song that any self respecting man should hold dear. Elvis singing his American Trilogy is prolly the most beautiful patriotic composition I have ever heard, while the Star Spangled Banner could be sung completely off key and still be great. |

Viva Las Vegas by Dead Kennedys
Come to think of it, most DK Anything off Racer-X or The Hammer Party by Big Black Anything by The DWARVES Johnny Cash-- Mean Eyed Cat But the good thing is, as much horrible crap as there is out there, there is still a good amount of excellent music with a hard, emotional core. |
|
Damn I'm getting old, haven't heard 90% of these groups or 80% of the songs. In no particular order:
Eagles: Hotel California Rush: 2112 Pinkish Floyd: Shine on you Crazy Diamond/Welcome to the Machine Led Zep: Kashmir Genesis: Cinema Show Yes: Heart of the Sunshine Ted "you can have my guns when you pry them from my cold dead hands" Nugent: Stranglehold Areosmith: Dream On |
|
Patriotic - Star Spangled Banner
Christian - "Amazing Grace" or "In Christ Alone" Everything Else - Led Zepplin - "In The Evening" |
|
Quoted: Amazing Grace is THE best song you can think of?!? I think you better hurry, your rocket ship to planet whack-o is boarding. View Quote You apparently have never heard it played by the Fifes and Drums on bagpipes...live. Gotta be my fave... |
|
I would have to say that the "Star Spangled Banner" is one of the best songs I have ever heard. Especially the version Jimi Hendrix did at Woodstock. Spectacular.
