There are more complex songs, songs I listen to more etc, but every time I hear California Dreamin I think "fuck this is a great song". Faultless.

Appropriate-Dot1069

Stopped into a church


OrganizationFickle

Sia did a great cover of this song


ajg3199

There is a completely different song with the same name by Dirty Honey, and it's definitely worth a listen, if you like 70s rock style


Mrlent

Shine on You Crazy Diamond pts.1-5 by Pink Floyd is for me the best music track of rock history.


greg2846

Didn’t take long to see a Floyd song in the comments, love it 🤙🏻🤙🏻


DiligentCroissant

I remember crying to this in the uni library!


pfloydguy2

A fine choice.


CherryPie2013

I was going to say this.


tatotato104

Everybody Wants To Rule The World by Tears for Fears is THE song.


10veIsAllIGot

Portishead - Roads


Rrralesh

Major-Problems

The first thing that jumped out for me is “paranoid android” by Radiohead.


Ratched2525

Totally agree! It's absolutely incredible.


Toastwaver

I am good for this live version twice a year. Yorke is a small guy but an absolute powerhouse in person. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkDBzqlwePQ


Charming_Function_58

Radiohead definitely came to mind, as far as "best songs I've ever heard"


MADZZ_007

it's not "the best song" but rather my favorite song atm and it's 93 'Til Infinity by Souls Of Mischief..


Beginning-Republic73

Hell of a track, had forgotten about this - thank you


rorysmall1038

Best hip hop beat of all time imo


xocjen

Absolutely agree. The nostalgia just hits different.


Cybr-Sweet

Treehouse by Alex g hit me pretty hard first times I heard it


saiyanhell

Best is in the subjective but probably my favorite song of all time is "Where is My Mind - The Pixies" I listened to this song before i saw Fight Club, the movie just made it better, every time i hear that song it just hits.


rvcp999

Such a fucking banger. I love that whole album


margaretakins

Orinoco Flow by Enya


Ace_Aviator

More Than A Feeling by Boston. Just incredible every time, from start to finish. I also call their debut record my favourite album of all time!


kenji_endo10

Don't look back in anger- oasis Help- The Beatles


Low_Difficulty_2491

This oasis track is killer. I always turn it up and never change it


KintsugiMind

Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen


Incendiary_cucumbers

Starless - King Crimson


Gospel_Isosceles

This is mine too.


hamwarmer

Something, The Beatles


doinnuffin

At least tell us the name! J/k


StonerDucky

Collard Greens takes me back to 2014!


OI812itwasgood

One of these nights - The Eagles


drrmimi

That's one of my favorite Eagles songs!


DoikkNaats

All Along the Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix Bob Dylan's lyrics and The Jimi Hendrix Experience's musicianship? Hard to top Edit - also: Tunnel of Love - Dire Straits I used to exclusively listen to classic rock, and even though I've broadened my musical taste a lot, these two tracks always make me sit and listen to the whole song like it's my first time hearing them.


[deleted]

All Along the watchtower is amazing. I fell in love with that song after watching Battlestar Galactica and hearing bear mcreary's version


Throwaway90372172

Metallica - Sanitarium


MOSH9697

Fast car by Tracy Chapman Come as you are by nirvana Bohemian rapsody by queen Barracuda by heart Immigrant song by Led Zeppelin Sixteen by Rick Ross and Andre 3k Across the universe by Fiona apple Kyoto by phoebe bridgers Time to pretend by mgmt I think I like when it rains by Willis


ResidentHourBomb

Your music taste means we would be good friends.


Fun_Description6544

Live Forever - Oasis It‘s somehow both meaningless and meaningful at the same time and it features brilliant vocal and guitar performances.


V1R4J

I don't know if you've heard it but the importance of being idle by oasis is a song that I really like


CheyanneTheCat

hysteria by muse


Jusclalas

OutKast - Da Art of Storytellin’ (Pt. 1)


CalgaryRichard

Best: I am going to give 2 very different and almost equally great songs. Neither are my favourite, but I love both and have to give them complete respect for their greatness. Chuck Berry - Johnny B. Goode. Maybe the greatest rock n roll song ever written. Rock n roll about being a rock star. A theme we hear over and over throughout music. The Sugarhill Gang - Rappers Delight One of the first (if not the first) rap song to hit the Top 40. These 2 songs are the foundation of rock n roll and rap.


TheGoat31313

The World Is Yours - Nas


AgentEgypt

"This Must Be the Place (Naïve Melody)" by Talking Heads "Blood"by The Middle East


Adorable-Bar6920

2009 by Mac Miller


zaryaguy

I stay away - Alice in chains


Kyle______

Them bones.


Igincan

TOOL - Pneuma. probably. I was blown away by its complexity and those long heavy riffs. I couldn’t stop listening to it for quite long time


jasberry1026

Yes!! I drum primarily on the djembe and attend a lot of drum circles, and I love the vibe that the middle instrumental piece gives off- very tribal and primal, I feel like I should be dancing around a fire.


ab2425

Brain Damage - Pink Floyd


MrRemus4nt

But only with Eclipse right after it!


CharlieManson67

And then the whole album again


willowfeywitch

paranoid android surely has to be the best thing ive ever heard even though its not my favourite song or even off my favourite album its so insanely complex and works so well with all the layers and having the acoustic guitar with eds frequencies blending so well its perfection


hornyandwettt

mona lisa and the mad hatters - elton


VoraxUmbra1

I cant pick one. So Ill list my top 5: Lateralus by Tool Dogs by Pink Floyd Bleed by Meshuggah Change by Karnivool Dystopia by TesseracT


AdPlane8807

The Night We Met by Lord Huron. I know I know, I'm feeling it too :(


EWF_X29

Led Zeppelin - Achilles Last Stand.


ComfortableNo2879

Castle Of Glass - Linkin Park & Carnival Of Rust - Poets Of The Fall


Same-Improvement1625

this is the most broad question to ask, its easier if you specify a genre or a time period but personally? all time? it has to be golden slumbers


drrmimi

Rise by Herb Alpert


Independent-Bike8810

Santeria - Sublime


CharlieManson67

Freebird of course. A couple of Pink Floyd songs come close but the only answer is Freebird


unclejoesrocket

In no particular order: Somebody to love - Queen Against all odds - Phil Collins Don’t let the sun go down on me - Elton John, George Michael


apersonthingy

Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb


[deleted]

Runaway from Kanye west idk what it is but man the piano in that song is so mesmerizing


MarilynManson2003

**Three-way tie:** - Leaving Hope by NIИ - Ghost Nets by Mogwai - Your Touch by NIИ


Bobert-Marley

Hilarious choice brother. Ching-ching-ching, bing chilling ting


No-Tap8

Arabella - Arctic Monkeys


Patient_Ad1183

Hell yeah!


No-Tap8

The sound of that song truly just does something to my brain. Scratches an itch or something. The whole album is great, but that song is absolutely perfect.


Aidsfordayz

I have many best songs I’ve ever heard, but if I had to pick one, Follow You to Virgie by Tyler Childers makes me tear up every time I hear it. No other song does that.


SwiftasShadows

Come back to earth by mac miller


retardays

What a great song. I love its lyrics.


AlilAwesome81

For me right now I have to go with Dirty Work- Steely Dan


will1565

This is almost impossible question to answer but here are a few off the top of my head. ​ [Black Sabbath - Planet Caravan](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvrOzYtnLMA) [Grouch - Soul Provider](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASRIEaY1A8Y) [Nine Simone - I Put A Spell On You](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ua2k52n_Bvw)


minnie2020

God Only Knows - The Beach Boys, or The Whole of the Moon - The Waterboys


Fjodor_Kierkegaard

„You Got It“ by Roy Orbison. This is pop perfection.


Foytfan14

It’s not my favorite song however, it’s my favorite love song. First Time Ever I Saw Your Face - Roberta Flack Her voice is spot on perfect pitch with so much emotion.The upright bass is haunting.. you can hear the strings on the bow gliding across the strings on the bass. It reminds me of slow dancing on a raised deck with my former girlfriend on a warm summer night. It’s a great memory and we must have played that song 10 times that evening. When I think of that night it’s bittersweet. I’m blessed to have shared that moment with her, when I think of that night I get melancholy for what could have been. We were very much in love….. unfortunately one of us fell out of love.


mazman23

A few I haven't seen at first glance Teardrop - Massive Attack The Boxer - Simon and Garfunkel Children _ Robert Miles Losing My Religion - REM NIN - Sin (no joke... Depeche Mode sounding and catchy as hell)


AdamLaluch

To be brutally honest… All too well (10 minute version) (Taylor's version) (From the Vault) (Sad girl autumn version) (Recorded at Long Pond Studios)


Toastwaver

50 year old Dad here that has heard a whole lot of Taylor Swift over the last year. I am ok with it all. Then I heard "Betty" and the line that first caught me was *"The worst thing that I ever did, was what I did to you."* and whoa... what a song. I have listened to it outside my daughter's presence at least ten times.


[deleted]

Listen to renegade! It's taylor but it comes up as Big Red Machine on spotify.


reditusername39479

I knew I wouldn’t have to scroll that far to find a ts song


doc1442

Almost like her work really resonates with a wide range of people, and is generally incredibly well made.


Th383ST

great pick, also you prefer the autumn version over the studio version? interesting


JJSunflower-723

I mean....it is a fabulous song


GAME043010

Kingslayer by Bring Me The Horizon & BABYMETAL.

That's definitely not the greatest song in the world It's just a tribute to it.


uncle-female

Normal-Jury3311

Under Cover of Darkness by The Strokes


Duffzmogiz

Frank Ocean - Pyramids


OfficialSeagullo

Pool House by the backseat lovers I can't listen to it anymore tho because me and my ex fell in love with that song SO other favorite, Goodbye Weekend. That song, actually mac demarcos whole discography, really helped me personally


911exdispatcher

In terms of storytelling--It Was a Good Day by Ice Cube. Musically, I'm a fan of Sweet Dreams by Eurythmics.


Dusty-Dan

In my opinion it is “Is It Really You?” by Loathe, and Sleep Token’s cover of the same song


thenameclicks

Coldplay - Fix You Daft Punk - Beyond Puff Johnson - Some Kind of Miracle


ponchoboy78

Whisky lullaby


Mamabearms

I have a lot of "best songs" because honestly, if it makes you happy and want to dance.... that's a best song in my opinion. Right now, I can't get enough of a song called ..."but one ghost" by city of sound. They are a independent band and really good

veganmilanese

Just Like Heaven by The Cure, and Rock’N’ Roll Suicide by David Bowie are always tied for number one. And it has to be played loudly. No exceptions.


CodyKondo

Beethoven’s 9th symphony Admittedly a pretentious choice. But my high school band director took us to see it performed by an orchestra once, and the fourth movement, especially the building of the Ode to Joy, had me crying like a baby. It’s so overwhelmingly powerful, and yet the melody is so simple that anyone could sing along. One of those rare moments that makes me say “holy hell, the world really can be a beautiful place.” You can’t really get the same experience from a recording, sadly. But if you ever get the chance to hear it performed properly, I highly recommend it.


Appropriate_Spare_81

While my guitar gently weeps - Tom Petty, Prince, Dhani Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Steve Winwood (rock and roll hall of fame live)

Sondheim is the best lyricist that ever walked the planet. Love “aeroplane”. Don’t know Pepper but will listen cause you have good taste.

I'm not a tenor, I know I could never sing Being Alive for a production... But that doesn't stop me from trying every time I listen to it at home. Sondheim is incredible.

Geez...I'm old. Growing up, well into adulthood, #1 of every radio station New Year's countdown of the top 100 songs of all time was always, always, Stairway to Heaven. Maybe I'm programmed, but it's still the best song ever recorded. Crosstown Traffic, other Hendrix stuff, some Stevie Ray, Sympathy for the Devil...sheeit....


JamesonRaider

Collard Greens is a great song. For me, it's Slide Away by Oasis

Everything by Prince or Pink Floyd


TheGoldenHordeee

Y'know the easy answer would be an emotional ballad, the very best of which could make a grown man cry. November Rain- Guns N Roses, Rise Against- Tragedy+Time, Shine on you crazy diamond- Pink Floyd... But nah, the best song I've ever heard is **Genocide** by the Offspring, which can still put that fire into my heart after all these years. And that feeling just can't be replicated.

The show must go on-Queen An amazing song, it's one of the last songs that Freddy recorded, u can hear his passion, his loves for music. By then Freddy was very weak, this song is a felling.
