Best song of all time?

[Eisen]

Tribute
And the song's name is Rock you like a hurricane.

 

[The Nuge]

No Welcome to the Jungle or Paradise City?

 

[Mount Suribachi]

Out of all the Iron Maiden Songs to choose from...

You pick Fear of the Dark? Great song...but where is Number of the Beast and 2 Minutes to Midnight?

You spelled Hallowed by thy name and Rime of the Ancient Mariner wrong.

Anyway, on that list I voted for Kashmir

 

[Xelebes]

So far:

1. Bohemian Rhapsody
2. Gimme Shelter
3. Stairway to Heaven
3. Baba O'Riley
5. The Sound of the Silence
5. Dream On
5. Kashmir

Hello guys!!

To answer to all questions, this is more like sport topic about best song ever.
If I wonna make best songe ever, I would put around 14000 songs in competition.

Bohemian Rhapsody leading, what a surprises
Kashmir in top 5

 

[Voight]

We should do this, bracket-style w/ 100 songs.

Desperado - Eagles is my non-poll answer.

 

[WhiskeySeven*]

I really don't like Bohemian Rhapsody, it was meant to be a satire for a reason.

Toto's Africa is the only option for me.

The song that epitomizes Rock and Roll for me is "Rock Around the Clock"
by Bill Haley and His Comets from 1954.

 

[Ceremony]

Temptation by New Order

 

[Ben Matlock]

Only ones I felt comfortable voting for were Shine On You Crazy Diamond and Fortunate Son.

 

[coupe89]

I didn't see this song.

 

[WhiskeySeven*]

A serious lack of Toto's Africa and/or Come on Eileen in this thread.

 

[Oscar Acosta]

Also a serious lack of Michael Jackson. You can still go to a club 35 years later and his songs from Thriller will fill a dance floor as though it were released that year.

I have to think longevity goes a long way in saying was the best song ever was.

 

[UsernameWasTaken]

Went with 'Losing My Religion'.

Lack of Can Con on the list. Not that any of them would be voted on as 'best song of all time' but neither would most of the songs on the list.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

Gimme Shelter
(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction
Sympathy for the Devil

 

[jw2]

Jump.
Love me some Kriss Kross.

 

[Afino]

The song that immediately comes to mind is Stairway to Heaven. That doesn't mean it's truly the best, but it's what comes to mind.

 

[Shareefruck]

Alot of the songs that are always repeatedly reputed to be the best of all time never actually feel that great to me, personally-- stuff like Stairway, Comfortably Numb, Bohemian Rhapsody...... they're solid songs, but they all sound kind of self-serious/self-important, overly rounded/polished, and melodramatic to me rather than legitimately piercing, poignant, infectious, or awe inspiring in any real way. I'm always surprised how how everyone always arrives at those same conclusions so unanimously. Bohemian Rhapsody in particular seems like a very random choice to me.

 

[Xelebes]

1. Bohemian Rhapsody
2. Gimme Shelter
3. Baba O'Riley
4. Stairway To Heaven
5. Kashmir
5. Sympathy for the Devil

 

[Tarasenko]

Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick
Genesis - Supper's Ready
these are my #1 and #2

Still voted for Bohemian Rhapsody

 

[PALE PWNR]

Out of all the Iron Maiden Songs to choose from...

You pick Fear of the Dark? Great song...but where is Number of the Beast and 2 Minutes to Midnight?

I think Fear of the Dark is their best song too aside from maybe The Trooper

 

[PALE PWNR]

Also a serious lack of Michael Jackson. You can still go to a club 35 years later and his songs from Thriller will fill a dance floor as though it were released that year.

I have to think longevity goes a long way in saying was the best song ever was.

Think the list was taken from the "Best Rock song of all time" Thread, which is why the King of Pop is not listed

 

[TNT87]

Back In Black is my all-time favorite.

 

[Sombastate]

Here Comes the Sun by the Beatles is my favorite song of all time.

Out of these? Probably Yesterday, Sympathy for the Devil or Bridge Over Troubled Water.

 

[BenchBrawl]

Sultans of Swing, one version of it live that I found online in the 2000s but that I can't for the life of me find again.The solo was tremendous.
