Best Song in the World

The question what is the best song in the world has been an opened issue and it will certainly remain so, since it is quite a subjective matter and depends on one’s taste. But there are definitely songs that marked the 20th century and the prolonged their influence till today.

According to the Rolling Stones Magazine, here are some of the songs that will probably never ‘grow old’: Like a Rolling Stone (Bo Dylan), Imagine (John Lennon), Satisfaction (The Rolling Stones), Hey Jude (The Beatles), Smells Like Teen Spirit (Nirvana), Yesterday (The Beatles), Purple Haze (Jimi Hendrix), Hound Dog (Elvis Presley), Let It Be (The Beatles), In My Life (The Beatles) – it was also voted a song of the century in one Britain poll); Stairway to Heaven (Led Zeppelin), Sympathy for the Devil (The Rolling Stones), River Deep, Mountain High (Tina Turner), Light My Fire (The Doors), All Along the Watchtower (Jimi Hendrix), Bridge Over Troubled Water (Simon & Garfunkel), No Woman No Cry (Bob Marley), Hotel California (The Eagles), Whiter Shade of Pale (Procol Harum), Let’s Stay Together (Al Green), Great Balls of Fire (Jerry Lee Lewis), Pink Floyd with their “Another Brick in the Wall”, and many more of them.

Now those were just some of 500 listed songs. I admit I was subjective and mentioned some of my favorites. I almost forgot The Queen, but it would be hard to pick just one of theirs. The Rolling Stones Magazine listed “We Will Rock You”, but I myself would pick some other. Let’s see….maybe Bohemian Rhapsody.

It is interesting that the list isn’t genre-limited, so Dr. Dre may be found there with his “Nothing But a G Thang”. I glanced at the Rolling Stone List, but there are numerous polls with very similar results. So we can say that these songs are on the right track to be considered classics some day.
