WHATS THE GREATEST SONG FROM THE LAST 30 YEARS??

mrjaygibbs · 22-11-2010 10:33pm #1

What is the greatest song from the last 30 years? I think music in general released over the last few years has been rubbish! A good percentage of music released over the period of 6 months has been dyer! Rock, hiphop and dance/house music has been poorly produced recently and has got me thinking about all time greats, I've polled some songs that have come to mind but feel free to say what you think is an all time great..

30 years isn't recently, lots of fantastic rock in the last 30 years

"Mouthful Of Cavities" - Blind Melon

My gf says "Sanctuary" - Béla Fleck

But its definitely one or t'other.

There can be no 'greatest' because quality of music is subjective and it's really a matter of each to his own.

Lol j/k have you guys heard this?

Stairway to heaven - Led Zeppelin or Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

Hermy · 22-11-2010 10:52pm

Don't know about greatest but for me Smells Like Teen Spirit is one of the most significant of the past two decades.

The intro makes that my favorite song ever.. I was at the gig though, so biased

Feeling Groovy · 22-11-2010 10:57pm

Me too hermy. Its not my favourite but would get my vote as to what it achieved. Smells like teen spirit started something special, the start of the Mtv generation.

To be honest, most of the greats were written over 30 years ago, for me the 70's was a fantastic era for blues and rock. During the 80's however (within the last 30 years) for me one man was keeping the feeling alive until a helicopter crash in 1990, Mr. SRV:

his style is my biggest influence as a musician, although i'll never come close to his brilliance.

KeithM89_old · 22-11-2010 11:05pm

3 U2 songs!?? Madness

Queen-Mise · 22-11-2010 11:05pm

Very strange poll - some odd choices in there. Never a good sign when they are bands in there I have never heard of.

Anyway back to the greatest song from the last 30 years, here it is:

StereoLove · 22-11-2010 11:06pm

I can't say I have one favourite in the past 30 years but here are two I love:
The Stranglers - Golden Brown
Pink Floyd - High Hopes

GLaDOS · 22-11-2010 11:08pm

Stairway to Heaven came out in '71... 39 years ago

Navada- smells like teen spirt

This, end of story. It's up there in musical excellence along with Beethoven, Mozart and all those chaps.
