WTF? No David Lee Roth??
I'm surprised Queen "I Want to Break Free" wasn't on the list as I think it's their best song.
I think U2 "Sunday Bloody Sunday", Michael Jackson "Billie Jean", and Prince "Purple Rain" are the best big huge pop songs. Anything by Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, the Doors, or Pearl Jam is awesome.
However, to pick a single best, I say John Lennon "Imagine".

My son is starting to "get into" top 40-ish music. It blows.

heh. I've got two of them and love to poke fun at their....'music'. They're at the stage where their tiring of the rubbish they listened to in their early days (read last year), possibly the result of a hand count at a little lunch cool or not meeting amongst their discerning peers. James Blunt who was 'awesome' last year is gay this year, and if they listen to my music it's either "stupid" (pixies or breeders) or "rock" (distillers, nirvana, faith no more). They like "rock" too apparently, and are keen to get their father's approving nod as they rattle off bands they're obviously exposed to on their "rock" mum and aunties favourite high-rotation top 40 radio stations. My Chemical Romance? jesus. it's gonna be a long and painful second half to their childhood. for both parties.

1)Igor Stravinsky - The Rite of Spring
I've been really into Stravinsky's music lately... what little I listen to music now typically tends to be his works.
Have you listened to the Gershwin piano concerto at all? If you like Rhapsody in Blue, you will most likely enjoy the piano concerto. In my opinion, the piano concerto is a superior piece.

Bullshit. Nothing past 1970. . . . .. . . .. .

That is the stupidest attitude, and it's an attitude I used to have for a while. I will say that the things that are popular today are almost all terrible, but there is still really great stuff out there. It's harder to find than it used to be, so people who are only mildly into music just give up looking.
The present is always the best time to be into music. You can listen to everything from the past and there is ALWAYS good new stuff coming out every month. If you only listen to music that you can find in Best Buy then you might not find too much in the way of good modern music. If you spend enough time investigating Myspace, though, you will find bands that are just as incredible as the Beatles, Stones, et cetera. The only difference is in the popularity.

If you want to talk about music, the absolute lamest thing to talk about is "The Greatest Song EVAR". That doesn't spark any good discussion. It's just a space for people do come in and say "Zeppelin rules! I love Battle Of Evermore!!!1"
People have this desire to constantly grade everything they hear. They want to rate an album four stars or one star and give it a B+ or a C-. It's taking music, one of the best things EVAR, and talking about it in the most mundane way.
I listen to music a lot, and I'll admit that my first instinct is to somehow qualify it. I say "I like it" or "This sucks". But that's really all you need to say about how good you think something is. If you're not an idiot you'll even be open to changing your opinion of something every time you hear it or thing about it. And hopefully you have something to say about a piece of music that has nothing to do with some qualitative phrase or symbol.
I'm so fucking dizzy right now from some meds I'm on so I can barely type right now but I'll be back with a triumphant post of my own at some point if I don't die.

Not undertones, it's that if it were a list compiled by votes, there are some glaring omissions, so I figured. There are some of my all-time favorite artists on the list, but not my favorite songs from those artists (e.g.- Tori, Pixies, Jane's Addiction, Rage). No Neil Young's 'After the Gold Rush'..no Amazing Grace. Those are just off the top of my head, I've not given it its due attention whatsoever.

If I MUST choose... I'll say American Pie, only because it says so much about a fundamental change in music.
---------------------------
Modify that to "Shenanigan Pie" and I wholeheartedly agree. :)

"Mary had a little lamb".
Why?
I was the first song ever recorded (1877 by Thomas Edison). Without it, we may never have had music as we know it.
*"I Wanna Sex You Up" - Color Me Badd, a VERY close second.

Have to go with "Feeling good." Not a lot of fanfare with the original, but the covers, including Nina Simone's, are timeless.

How the CHRIST do you choose just one?
Did you post this and then say in a deep voice, THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE.
If I MUST choose... I'll say American Pie, only because it says so much about a fundamental change in music.
Other notables are songs are the list that were true groundbreakers in style... Blowin in the Wind, Good Vibrations, Break on Through being good examples, each being the head of a wave. An unfortunate wave in the case of the folk singers, but whatever.

That song is great to play in the middle of the third set. Usually ends up with at least one dating couple in a drunken argument.

Last summer I was at a bar in my very small tourist town high in the Canadian Rockies and someone told me the Killers were there. So I looked to the booth directly behind me and low and behold they were!(except the singer) They were all surprisingly tall(I'd say all atleast 6'1") seemed pretty open to any fans going up to them, and picked up some very mediocre looking groupies
