Kate Bush -wuthering heights
It varies every ten minutes for me.
Right now it is I Like it Heavy - Halestorm.
I dont think you can ever do your best, doing your best is just a process of trying to do your best.
That said, today mine is
Nope. It is definitely Crippled Black Phoenix
For all my liking of weird glitchy electronica and dodgy 80s goth, any question about best song always brings me back to sweet guitar pop. Would usually be one of these three as my choice...

Impossible to say but this jumped to mind:
I can't tell you. If I told you you'll have heard of it then it couldn't be my favourite anymore
If I told you you’ll have heard of it then it couldn’t be my favourite anymore
Schrodinger's Tat.
<applauds>
Gimme Shelter by the Rolling Stones
Never get bored of this song. As Kavus Torabi said it’s the Stairway to Heaven that Led Zep should have writteń´.
Changes on a hourly, daily, weekly or monthly basis. Impossible question to answer for me, although.....
Correct answer:

My favourite(s), this morning? Have been digging(up) the Arch Drude all week. His Peggy Suicide/Jehovakill/Autogeddon muse was beyond inspired (and more pressing today than ever)
Beethoven's 9th, final movement
Love a bit of That Petrol Emotion, could never understand why they never really hit the big time, Chemicrazy is pure pop brilliance.
Surely can't be much doubt that Best Song Ever is by One Direction?
But seriously now it Common People by Pulp.
Today it's this
This is probably my favourite song ever, therefore it's probably the best song ever
This ain't bad though
So hard to choose just one and it would always reflect my taste for metal/rock.
If I had to pick today... Welcome Home (Sanitarium) by Metallica or Monty Python's universe song if only for the final line...
and pray that there's intelligent life somewhere out in space, because there's bugger all down here on Earth".
That aside An Der schonen blauen Donau is a stunning piece of music.
That Petrol Emotion...... Scum Surfing.
Impossibru!
Pearl Jam - Indifference springs to mind, as does Johny Cash’s cover of Hurt. And Linkin Park, One Step Closer. Or Paramore, Misery Business. Or Freebird. Or Sympathy For The Devil. Or, or, or...
Surely..
Whatever it might be, it's definitely not the effing screechy bollocks that is Wuthering Heights.
There's a good chance that it is Say A Little Prayer by Aretha Franklin though.
Impossible.(colournoise&dingabell’s choices are rather smart though!)
But the one song that gives me goosebumps Every!time! I hear it.....

A Day in the Life from Sgt Pepper. So many mind pictures created by it.
Easily good enough to go on Dark Side, which may be hackneyed but is still damded good.
Well if we are including classical them it's probably "Im Abendrot" from Richard Strauss' 4 Last Songs, though I have a huge soft spot for Anne Trulove's Aria "No Word from Tom" from Stravinsky's "The Rake's Progress".
Finlandia, brilliant as it may be, isn't a song is it?
st dominics preview by van morrison, a poetic masterpiece
Just Like Heaven is probably just about the most perfect pop song. IMHO, obvs.
I think these might be best lyrics ive heard/ read since "she wears my love like a see through dress"
Beautiful
Today I can't decide between these two.
For me it's got to be Unfinished Sympathy by Massive Attack.
Shara Nelson's voice is immense.
Natch...
Loving the fact that I'm obviously not the last of the true believers!
Nah. A few of us others still down in the swamp.
Its a Big Decision this thread!
Best song ever is so subjective, but for me, this is one of them. And to imagine a 14-15 yo wrote it is something else again. Whatever, it’s a stunningly beautiful song.
Then there’s this, three minutes of sublime pop perfection...
Mine is London Calling.....love that opening base....
