I'm not even sure if I agree with the concept of "greatest song of all time". I mean, I can name tonnes of perfect songs, but they are all perfect in different ways. Is a perfect metal song better than a perfect folk song? (In fact, don't answer that, 90% of forum members)

However, I'm going to put some things that people are less likely to choose but definately deserve a place, because I'm pretty sure this forum will give way more attention than is due to metal, classic rock and videogame music.

Black Rose Immortal by Opeth. Hands down, no better song than that.
That's my opinion anyway. Which may, or may not, differ from yours.

Obvious choice is obvious.


Less snarky answer: I have no friggin' clue. Too many genres, too many sounds, too much history. I don't think it's honestly possible to pick one single song that you could hold above all other pieces of musical composition in recorded history and say, "yeah, this one? This is better than everything else. Ever."

Just my two cents, though.

If you're serious:
Tom Waits' Clap Hands

If you're not serious, The Beatles, Chamber-lady and your Wife:

I think that's entirely subjective.

But for me, it's pretty much a tie between Stairway To Heaven, Free Bird and All Along The Watchtower.

If it was the best album, I'd say Nostradamus by Judas Priest..
But the greatest song of all time?...

Guess nobody has mentioned him yet...

EDIT: It IS the greatest song of all time :D

If you want to know how people do things, quote their post(so it gets copied down to the reply area). Then scan the post for the code you want.
