    Do you think this forum just started operating today? And Black Eyed Peas? Ah I'm in a foul mood i'd better just stop myself there....

    I vote the op is banned not for spam but for suggesting the black eyed peas are not only good, but they wrote the best song of all time. Words cannot describe how retarded that is.

    In fairness, I believe the OP said Westlifes current "hit" is the song of the year...

    Each to their own ;)

    Yes everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I think this is the exception to the rule.

    Whenever I play poker online I always find myself, after folding a hand, replying to silly threads, when really I should be concentrating on the game...

    Anyway

    Barbie Girl - Aqua.
    pure class. It just gets better each time I hear it

    Being serious, I'd say Good Vibrations by the Beach Boys is the most perfect song ever recorded. Not so sure what the best song would be though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,034 ✭✭✭Devon


    I can't make my mind up between The Wurzels' "Combine Harvester" or John Lennon's "Imagine"...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 806 ✭✭✭Atrocity


    best songs of all time : The Smiths - Bigmouth Strikes Again
    R.E.M. - Losing My Religion
    Paul McCartney and Wings - Maybe I'm Amazed

    Best pop songs: Babybird - You're Gorgeous and A-ha - Take On Me


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,048 ✭✭✭Amazotheamazing


    Paul had not formed Wings when he recorded Maybe I'm Amazed, though it is a fantastic song.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,773 ✭✭✭Binomate


    Billie Jean.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,848 ✭✭✭✭Doctor J


    My Way


    Croon on!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,643 ✭✭✭magpie


    Paul McCartney - Maybe I'm Amazed

    Nice choice! The Faces do a good cover of this on Long Player. as well, but you can't beat the Macca version.

    My favourite song of all time? If I had to pick one, it'd have to be Won't Get Fooled Again by Ver Who.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,914 ✭✭✭✭tbh


    The JCB song, or anything by Robbie Williams :D

    Seriously, i think my favourite song is Mother Nature's Son, by The Beatles. it just always makes me feel really good whenever I hear it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,643 ✭✭✭magpie


    The JCB song

    Lol, why didn't I think of saying that? :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,148 ✭✭✭✭KnifeWRENCH

    Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,487 ✭✭✭banquo


    The beatles "She Loves you" is just the most perfect pop song of all time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,591 ✭✭✭johnnyrotten


    "Wish you were here" by Pink Floyd


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2 anthonysenn


    For me: Ash - Goldfinger

    They're also my all time favourite band.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 71 ✭✭SpittingImage


    'Helpless' by CSNY, best performed solo by Neeyal though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,884 ✭✭✭grumpytrousers


    Right now - as at half-ten-ish, I'll plump for Atomic by Blondie...This will change in 5 minutes. and the 5 after that, but i'll not trouble you'se with the updates... :D

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 206 ✭✭Brother A


    The Temptations: Just My Imagination

    matchbox20 - breakfast at tiffanys

    ...thought that was a Deep Blue Something song?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 511 ✭✭✭davkav


    would have to be led zeppelin's stairway to heaven or immigrant song. and for best band would defo have to be LZ


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,754 ✭✭✭ianmc38


    Bob Dylan - Like A Rolling Stone is definitely up there musically and lyrically i'd say its the greatest ever


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 664 ✭✭✭Nimrod's Son


    I'll plump for Pixies' River Euphrates (Complete B Sides version). It beautifully drowns out the noise of the world.

    No, I much prefer the other version. It's grungier, louder and 30 seconds longer (It's that extra bit I like the most as well). Still, at least there's two versions, all the more for us to enjoy! :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 168 ✭✭Teller


    East 17 - Stay Another Day


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 259 ✭✭OTliddy


    My shortlist:
    Garry Moore-Parisienne Walkways
    David Boland-This Wave
    Bob Marley-Stir it up
    Jimi Hendrix-Hey Joe

    If I were to pick one it would be Parisienne walkways. I will forever marvel at it. The chord sequence in unique of any song I know. Wonderful
