the best song ever??????????

[glitglit]

i am trying to find out what is the best introduction to a song
classical, rock , r+b whatever!!!!!!

i am open to any opinions

[Johnmof]

Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple.

The live version of Roundabout by Yes.

[sparks_]

The Verve - Bitter Sweet Symphony.. yup

[Sh'lainn]

Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen is great, and the cover by Gavin Degraw is also pretty damn good.  Also pretty much anything by Jimi Hendrix, especially fire, crosstown traffic and purple haze.  2pac's best songs are thugz mansion, changes and the song about his mom, which i can't remember the name of and ghetto ghospel.  Anything by Michael Jackson apart from scream and the earth song.  Hey ya by oukast and all the rest and james blunt's beautiful, my ringtone.  I don't have a favourite song, there's too many of them out there.

[Haggisdj]

How about

Sweet Child Of Mine

Pretty Vacant

These Arms Of Mine - Otis Redding

The Love I Lost - Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes

[nicola_red]

A couple people have said Sweet Child O' Mine by GNR but I would actually vote for Welcome to the Jungle.

[BigDogsWang]

Pink Floyd's 'Money'

Radiohead - Creep

Eagles - Hotel California

Chili Peppers - Under the bridge

Chili's again - Can't Stop

Led Zep's - Stairway

Radar love - Golden Earing

ETC ETC ETC ETC

[whattheheck]

Deep Purple's "Smoke on the water" has got to be in there somewhere and being as "Hotel California" has already been taken, I'll go for another Eagles track - "Get over it".

[OBonio]

Perry Mason - Ozzy Ozbourne (sp?)
Baba O'Riley - The Who
Number of the Beast - Iron Maiden

[OBonio]

Actually, make that The Prowler by Iron Maiden... I'm in a more guitarry mood today.

And you have to have Ride of the Valkries just for a classical slant.

[Dudley]

Mine are 'Blueberry Hill' by Fats Domino and 'Can't Get Enough' by Bad Company.

[Dudley]

Mine are Blueberry Hill by Fats Domino and Can't Get Enough by Bad Company. Have to agree about Mr Crowley and Baker Street though.

[Dudley]

Sorry, I didn't think my first message had transmitted.

[dabees]

While all the above are undoubtably great songs, one glaring omission has been " How Soon is Now " By THe Smiths. I'm not a smiths fan but as soon as Jonny Marrs guitar kicks in is a joy to behold. Plus " Unfinished Sympathy " by Massive Attack is also a favourite of mine.

Rant over ladies and gents.

[TWINKYGIRL76]

Nice one Bigdogswang, I wanted to put chilis on but I have a tendancy to go on and on and on...

To you Dabees, I love The Smiths - How Soon Is Now. As I put above, I couldn't put all the songs I love because once I start, I can't stop.

[alphamale]

got to be Sehnsucht from the album Sehnsucht by Rammstein.
