yes.

 

[psood0nym]

i'm always ready to pass along the gospel of Townes. If the best song of all time isn't Lungs, its surely Waitin' Around to Die.

I'm a bit embarrassed I missed this guy until now. Thanks though. I'm pretty gay for him -- or is necrophilic the more accurate term?

gay necro probably. i'm surprised no one has said anything like the clash or creedence clear water revival or some crap.

joy division - shadowplay and joy division - insight deserve some consideration

i think CCR is pure, glorious Americana...alas, none of it is quite introspective enough to warrant my personal vote.

 

[RareForm]

CCR is nonchalantly dismissed as crap? 'hole up.

Comfortably Numb...by: David Gilmore of Pink Floyd

 

[J.Sanctuary]

Three Days - by Jane's Addiction is an awsome song that always springs to mind when asked this question.

I don't know if there is an answer to the best song of all time. You would have to pick a top 20 or 50 or possibly a top 100 songs and just list them alphabetically or in no particular order. As to pick just one actual best song might just prove to be impossible.

The Beatles - Golden Slumbers
George Harrison - The Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp
Badfinger - Day After Day
The Clash - Spanish Bombs
Aerosmith - What It Takes
Bruce Hornsby - Mandolin Rain
steely Dan - Deacon Blues

...Not sure of the criteria of "best" but if I had to pick one...

Born To Run ..by to me, the greatest writer alive today

The boss.....

...But I allude to the fact that there are hundreds of incredible pieces of work...

 

[nativenick]

for me its impossible to choose. i like far too many songs

agreed. even if i could pick a song i just know eventually ill discover something that will top it. my music taste spans all sorts of genres so its next to impossible to pick any one song. hell i doubt i could pick my top 10 songs

imagine -john lennon

i'm not a huge beatles or lennon fan and many other songs by many artists from different genres and decades came to mind but
"imagine"
stands alone in my humble opinion.
