That would have to be a new thread!!!
But for me it would have to be Ben - By Michael Jackson.
 
Alot of Zepplin, ACDC. Stones and radiohead fans here. I think id have to say

Declan O'Rourke -Galileo
Paul Weller - You do something
and a couple of pieces from Sinead O'C and Tracy Chapman.

For best lyrics, it has to be George Michael, Careless Whispers ......guilty feet have got no rhythm ..........classic!
 
thought i'd add a few more....
'losing my religion' REM
'Annie's Song' John Denver
'Golden Brown' Stranglers
'Atomic' Blondie
'shine on you crazy diamond' floyd
 
1. Walk On- U2
2. One -U2
3. Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen

OR

1. Wonderful World-Louis Armstrong
2. My Way- Frank Sinatra
3. Summer Time Blues- Eddie Cochran
 
* TEENAGE KICKS *
Golden Brown
I Dont like Mondays
Stairway to Heaven
Power of Love (Frankie)

Hate the Jeff Buckley version but i have a version by Cohen on the Ipod that would makes the hair stand on the back of my neck. Well it would if I had any.

Leonard's intrepretation is edgy and dangerous as it was written to be.

KD Lang does a haunting version on Hymns of the 49th Parallel - worth checking out.
 
Any Leonard Cohen song but Alexandra Lost in particular.
Wish you were here - Pink Floyd
Money - Pink Floyd
Whiter Shade of Pale - Procol Harum
 
Folks, I know musical taste is subjective, but Oleta Adams "Get Here if You Can" as the Best Song of All Time?!!!
 
The joint leaders after a month of posts are.....(drum roll):-
Golden brown - stranglers, and Wish you were here - Pink floyd.
Both have 4 'votes' each.
What happened to 'imagine', 'bohemian rhapsody' and 'stairway to heaven' ?

Imagine - Looks to me that AAM posters (including myself) regard Lennon/McCartney and The Beatles to be very over rated.
Bohemian Rhapsody - Great song and surprised it hasn't been mentioned.
Stairway - I would rate Kashmir higher.

Would I be correct in thinking that Radiohead have the most songs on the list?

If i had the casting vote on the two with 4 votes, I would have to go with "Wish you were here"

A "Rainy Night in Soho" should get a mention on this list also.
 

I'm surprised "Nice One Cyril" wasn't mentioned by you
 
Beatles/Lennon over-rated? nah, I think maybe, like Bohemian Rhapsody, they're more victims of their own success. Maybe/probably even Stairway to Heaven too.

"Best of" music lists should always be sponsored by Saxa salt, imho.

Even though it is a great tune I always felt the lyrics let it down and were a bit repetitive.

Glory Glory Tottenham Hotspur is far superior but the Man UTD fans robbed it in the 80's and ruined the lyrics.

"Stefan Freund is a football genius" is also a goodun
 

"Spurs are on their way to We-ber-ley! Tottenham's going to do it again, they can't stop 'em, the boys from Tottenham, the boys from White Hart Lane..."

 
Whoah... hold on a second..... how can ANY football song make their way into a 'Best song' discussion!
