Best song ever

[mank!]

The best song ever is How Soon Is Now by The Smiths.

That is all, feel free to discuss the best song ever in your opinion and stuff.

 

[bodhi]

Faith No More - Just a Man.

 

[kameleon]

Sensational Alex Harvey Band - Faith Healer

 

[Trem]

Aye top song Bods.

U2 - Bad.

 

[legendario]

I don't think I could name one.

 

[Nos-]

Radiohead - You and Whose Army?

 

[Summo]

REM covering U2's One, live. I like i' a lo'

 

[caLLous]

Had this discussion in a pub last week, it's impossible (for me) to specify a favourite song, although a top 5 or 10 is easier (but it's been done here before I think so I won't start that one off ).

And yes Bodhi, Just a Man is fantastic, although not as fantastic as Easy, imo.

 

[Munkey-]

Jars of Clay - I need you


It holds a special significance to me

 

[Wij]

Sweaty Betty - Macc Lads

 

[legendario]

Am I the only one who doesn't rate the cover of easy?

It's a good song but I can think of 20 more FNM that are better.

 

[ECA]

Chesney Hawkes - The One and Only


if only cuz its used on so so many dodgy clan skills movies :-]

 

[Sir Frizz]

Either Free Bird - Lynyrd Skynyrd
OR Voodoo Child(slight return) - Jimi Hendrix

 

[doh_boy]

Mine changes all the time BUT

Lady Madonna - Beatles

Atm.

Dunno why...

 

[Shocko]

Don't like the idea of a single best song of all time, however...

Tonight tonight - smashing pumpkins

 

[caLLous]

Bullet With Butterfly Wings > Tonight Tonight.

This is what a "best song ever" thread starts.

 

[legendario]

Callous... you couldn't be more correct

Love Bullet with butterfly wings

No, but last time I mentioned it here, I was like, y'know, castrated, and suchlike.

Best song in the world is quite probably either Portishead - Roads or Dredg - Leitmotif. The latter is actually an album, but it doesn't work if you listen to just one song, because of the way it was composed. Rah. Sadly, their follow-up changed direction. Grr.

My legs ache.

 

[old.UKTwister]

Interpol - stella was a diver and she was always down

It's not even out in this country yet , however this is the most listened to song on my playlist ever.

Definately a song to watch out for this year

 

[caLLous]

You sound like the DJ at work.

I much prefer it to the Commodores' (sp? ) version, if that's what you're referring too.

 

[Shocko]

Na, Bullet with butterfly wings(can we abreviate it to bwbw? ) is good, but Tonight Tonight has something to it, that makes it great nm what mood you're in.

Stick to a 'best album of all time', because a single song is something too little to have a greatest of its kind... The whole thing, "what single song would you take to a desert island"... The answer would be none. Because if you listened to only one song, you would get sick of it eventually. Now if you a whole album, it would take a hell of alot to get sick of it...

Paranoid - Black Sabbath

Easy is redeemed for both the "ooooooooh" Patton moment and the fact that they recorded it to get their guitarist to leave. Which he promptly did. He shoots he scores, so to speak.

 

[old.Kez]

You're a walking almanac of Patton information, bod. Though perhaps less book-shaped.

 

[bodhi]

I know an unhealthy amount about Patton and FNM.
