definitely the best GBV song

3/6/2011 4:01:58 AM

3/6/2011 4:03:23 AM

that's funny

I was seriously about to title mine something like "best song everrrrr"

Care of Cell 44

3/6/2011 4:21:27 AM

^ i could go with that one, too

3/6/2011 4:33:39 AM

is it safe to say, yall are drunk?

3/6/2011 4:42:17 AM

i am not drunk

i spent three hours doing drum tracks tonight, though, so i might be a bit loopy

but seriously, "echos myron" is a brilliant song

3/6/2011 4:53:14 AM

Strong candidate for me lately:

Nightwish - Ghost Love Score

3/6/2011 4:58:08 AM

Because I'm sentimental to mainstream 90's rock:

Everlong - Foo Fighters

...I certainly like it. I certainly can't fault it for anything. No doubt it's a good song.

But for me it lacks that sort of energizing HOLY SHIT I FUCKING LOVE THIS factor that I get from some other songs.

Not that I can think of any particular song that I would call "the best of all time", largely because I hate the idea of an over-arching "best song" in the first place.


...Not the best songs ever, but I like Spoon, so I'm posting them anyway:

I think some pieces of music are even better than this one but they have no lyrics so IMO they aren't "songs":

"Must Be Dreaming" from Frou Frou - Details (2002): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uryUCVhjtr4

3/6/2011 9:11:29 AM

As an unrepentant GBV fan, I can't fault this (though I might have gone with Game of Pricks.) Care of Cell 44 is another good choice.

However Bob himself (quite drunkenly) said Baba O'Riley is "the fucking best song in the fucking world and anyone who disagrees fuck you" when they played it to end their show at Cat's Cradle in '02 or '03 (don't remember.)

The best song of all-time can't possibly be a ripoff of better songs written 20 years earlier by ACTUAL brits.

3/6/2011 10:51:41 AM

"Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin

3/6/2011 10:53:07 AM

Boring, I know.

3/6/2011 10:59:04 AM

Mine changes periodically but I come back to this one frequently

But the version from Kicking Television.

3/6/2011 11:13:43 AM

or

3/6/2011 11:14:45 AM

But it is definitely "The Glow pt. 4 (Version)" by The Microphones. I can't find that on the youtubes though.

3/6/2011 11:17:15 AM

or

but I feel like a douchebag for saying that.

3/6/2011 11:18:50 AM

jk lol guise, here is my actual, final answer:

or

It's a two way unbreakable tie.

John Peel says



He might be right

3/6/2011 11:43:12 AM

what's that one song where they all fart into the mic

3/6/2011 11:53:21 AM

spöokyjon

Ever heard Uncle Tupelo's version of "No Depression"

Being a Wilco fan, I'm guessing you have... but UT's version is wonderful

3/6/2011 11:54:10 AM

age of consent

3/6/2011 11:55:31 AM

I'll second Everlong.

3/6/2011 11:57:41 AM

"Closer" from Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral (1994)

I think "Mr. Self-Destruct" and "Ruiner" are better songs from that album, "The Perfect Drug" is the best NIN song, and "I'm Afraid of Americans" is the best song that Trent Reznor had any part in.

3/6/2011 3:13:53 PM

No shit! That was Closer?!

My wife and I danced to this as our first song at our wedding... kindof as a joke referencing Big Love. I only think one or two people got it, which is fine.

Wouldn't It Be Nice is up there

3/6/2011 5:01:49 PM

i now have a tww playlist

3/6/2011 5:11:09 PM

this thread reminds me of this other thread:

http://thewolfweb.com/message_topic.aspx?topic=427837

mostly because I totally posted a ton of songs in my one post

today, I think the best song of all time is "Be Mine" by REM

this will likely change tomorrow

and bring on the hate

my personal favorite, maybe not the "best"
