Unfortunately, the greatest song in the world was never actually recorded. However, there was a song written about it - it is called "Tribute" by Tenacious D.

Ten pages and Springsteen isn't even mentioned. My choice would be Springsteen's "River" version from Album Live 1975-1985.
or
"Cats and the Cradle"- Harry Chapin

Re: Greatest song ever written?
 

don't mean to sound harsh but do you really think Harry Chapin's song is the greatest ever written?

Re: Greatest song ever written?
 

Point taken. Maybe not the greatest but a classic none the less.

Do you really think this song should be singled out when Lloyd Banks was mentioned 2 posts above?

Re: Greatest song ever written?
 

Cohen's 'Hallelujah', when performed by Jeff Buckley.
(or anything made by Sigur Rós.)
