It's sad but true

well, maybe not.

The best song ever is American Pie. But we thank you for playing.

Wink, I'll nominate Leaving on a Jet Plane ... the original, not the Armageddon version.

[swede123]

A rock station here in town had a listener determined top 100 rock songs of all times. Freebird finished #1, just ahead of Stairway to Heaven.

Sometimes a song is considered good because well...it's good.

Admit it. You wear thick black buddy-holly glasses and hope to one day marry Janine Garofalo, don't you.

[gumpzilla]

Come on. You don't have to be an indie snob to think that American Pie is not the greatest song ever. It's way too long and gets monotonous pretty quickly. It's a good song, but I'm sure I could think of at least five songs by the Beatles, that most obscure of bands, that I think are better.

[/ QUOTE ]

Personally, I think it's one of the best songs ever, if not the best. Aparently I wasn't aware that there was some governing body that objectively decided these things and that American Pie had lost the competition.

I didn't get the email.

My bad.

Is there a best book ever I should have read by now?

[istewart]

Everyone knows it's Stairway, no point in debating it really.

[Vagos]

I wonder how many lame and awkward threads you can post in one week. I wonder...

[Duke]

Last Kiss for a song like that.

Overall? Somewhere over the Rainbow.

Yes, FYI there's also a governing body deciding that people MUST have heard of CCR or else they're bad people.

Glen nearly [censored] himself when he found out that I never heard of the Eagles or something like that.

I think that this statement, in and of itself, just might shed some light on all of your lady troubles.

[/ QUOTE ]

Stairway is overrated.

Nonsensical and pretentious.

IMO best pop song ever is "He Stopped Loving Her Today," by George Jones, seriously.

[Popinjay]

is this song by Dion? If so I downloaded it. I just listened to it and my reactions were as follows:

...

wtf

bruiser is fruity

[theBruiser500]

I'm pretty sure Hugo just turned over in his grave when the verb "pwns" was used after his name.

No more thread hijacking, perhaps another thread for this.

I think this should have ended the thread.

[Dr. Strangelove]

The bible is overlong and way too boring in spots. The correct answer is clearly Catch-22.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Or hamlet.

[bisonbison]

Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows.
Catch-22.

[thatpfunk]

[ QUOTE ]

Or hamlet.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not a book.

[gorie]

runaround sue is not the best song ever, however it is the best song mentioned in this thread so far.
great song.

[MasterShakes]

The correct answer is "The Decline" by NOFX...

...and it's not even close.

[Dr. Strangelove]

If we are counting the Bible as a book, Hamlet can be a book. Besides, it's not like Book=Novel.

[Skipbidder]

Wrong.
The correct answer is, of course, Muskrat Love.

It's a tie between Broken Wings by Mister Mister and I Don't Know Much (But I Know I Love You) by Aaron Neville.

Ghey and ghey.

The best song ever, rock or otherwise, is Highway to Hell by AC/DC.

The only way Runaround Sue could even come close to competing is if we're talking about the Leif Garrett version.

Anything else is just fruity.

[Phoenix1010]

Pick your favorite Led Zeppelin song, there's your answer. I'll go with Achilles Last Stand (just to be contrarian, we all know the answer is Stairway).

Honorable mentions that haven't been honorably mentioned in the thread yet:
Imagine
Bohemian Rhapsody
Us and Them/Time/Comfortably Numb (pick one)
Hotel California

As to the thread hijack- The Great gatsby wins, highschool material or no. Honorable mention to Frankenstein.

Y'know, I always got a little teary in the VH1 Behind The Music special where Leif Garrett talked to his paralyzed friend. /images/graemlins/frown.gif

Luckily for me, I've never seen it.

In other news, you're gay.

Apparently, you've never seen Family Guy either.

Also, learn to pick up sarcasm. It'll serve you well.

Actually I watched it for the very first time last Sunday. It was okay but nothing super. (Maybe it was just a not so great episode?)

Oh, the Leif Garrett post was obviously a joke. I'm just saying the others seemed serious.
