That was a joke :laugh: It's great how he describes certain things in it, though.

I'd say Bob Dylan's 'Hurricane' is the best written song I've ever listened too.

You take the piiss about someone's choice, when you thin Lady Gaga wrote the best song ever written?

I love that song, It's immense.

I dunno about my choice really. There's way too many bands and songs and people I like to choose.

[LemonJam]

I completley forgot:

Des'ree - Kissing You.

Beautiful, beautiful song.

[Loukas]

Black & Gold - Sam Sparro :love:

Not to be pedantic, but I'm assuming you're meaning like modern music, in the era of rock 'n' roll onwards? Otherwise you're gonna have to list the entire works of many composers of centuries gone by :hugesmile:.


Despite that, I really can't list anything, I think the song Bones by the Killers is ace, because the lyrics are good. Generally anything with a repetition in it isn't going to be one of the front runners for "greatest song ever written" (with the exception of the chorus, though not too repetitive there) uuurm I'll post a list when I can think of more things.

Bones - The Killers
Umbrella - Rihanna
Hurt - Christina Aguilera
Killing Me Softly - The Fugees
Make You Feel My Love - ADELE


These are all based on the lyrics and the meanings that you can attach to them from a personal POV.

I freaking love that song!

But in all fairness, the best song ever written is obviously Bohemian Rhapsody. By a clear mile.
