Direct Link To This Post Topic: Best Song Ever - Name It!
    Posted: March 26 2008 at 13:34
Today I played Elvis Presley's LP Suspicious Minds and I was very impressed again by the song In The Ghetto. I thought "This got to be the best song ever!".

Right, but how to define the best song ever? If I would create a poll including every song ever recorded, it would result only some ridiculous percentages and statistics about opinions.
So I thought if somebody can name a better song than I just did, and somebody can name even better song than that, and so on, it will eventually lead to The Best Song Ever that everybody agrees! Right? Last song of the chain just have to be the best song, it's even provable by induction then!

For example:
2 is bigger than 1, 4 is bigger than 2, 5 > 4, 7 > 5, 10 > 7,... will lead to the biggest number ever!

So, name a better song than

Elvis Presley
- In The Ghetto

Should we all agree on these? Because the best song ever (and thus better than the ones above) is

Morrissey - Seasick, Yet Still Docked

Psh. I've never heard of that, so how good can it be?
 
Now, I think we'd need something classic that's been handed through the ages...like "Row, Row, Row Your Boat!" You can't argue with years of vacationing children!

Basically, you name a song better than the one the last person just posted. The idea is that eventually, we'll list a song so good, that no one can top it, and we'll have the best song ever.
 
Once again, I fail to know that song, so it can't be as good as "Waterloo" by ABBA. That's a pretty decent song, surely you must agree.

Exactly!

And

Queensryche - Suite Sister Mary is definitely a better song than Abba - Waterloo!

Okay, so "Ring of Fire" is pretty good, but is it as good as Lordi's "Would You Love a Monsterman?" I don't think so. That's, like, the best song ever.

Nah, always more of a Mortal Kombat man; thought it was classic Ninja Gaiden actually.
 
Oh, and, uh...any twelve bar blues. Any of them. Is automatically better than that. 'Cause twelve bar blues beats everything.
