Genesis

No I disagree. You're not entitled to your own opinion. there Once was an Ugly Duckling by Mike Reid is better.

The best song ever written is "Good Vibrations" by the Beach Boys. There is no disputing it - period.

But in a hypothetical world, I could easily argue that it's too dated, and prefer a song say by Metallica.

No matter what you put, someones always going to be difficult and argue with you. but it's still oh so common.

Musically:

The song that made me love rock and roll, and still is my favorite song until this day is and will always be Crazy Train. I don't care who's making it into techno dance mixes or rap/hip hop songs, the song in its original and live Tribute form with Randy Rhoads is my best musically written song.

Lyrically: I'd go with Black Sabbath stuff. Some of their songs like War Pigs, Iron Man, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Warning, (even GnR covered their song)- It's Alright, and so many more.

But the song i'd go with as the best lyrically written song by them would have to be Meglomania. just read the lyrics and see for yourself

I hide myself inside the shadows of shame

The silent symphonies were playing their game

My body echoed to the dreams of my soul

This god is something that I could not control

Where can I run to now?

The joke is on me

No sympathizing, god is insanity, yeah

Why don't you just get out of my life, yeah?

Why don't you just get out of my life now?

Why doesn't everybody leave me alone now?

Why doesn't everybody leave me alone, yeah?

Obsessed with fantasy, possessed with my schemes

I mixed reality with pseudogod dreams

The ghost of violence was something I seen

I sold my soul to be the human obscene

How could it poison me?

The dream of my soul

How did my fantasies take complete control, yeah?

Why don't you just get out of my life, yeah?

Why don't you just get out of my life now?

Why doesn't everybody leave me alone now?

Why doesn't everybody leave me alone, yeah?

Well I feel something's taken me I don't know where

It's like a trip inside a separate mind

The ghost of tomorrow from my favorite dream

Is telling me to leave it all behind

Feel it slipping away, slipping in tomorrow

Got to get to happiness, want no more of sorrow

How I lied, went to hide

How I tried to get away from you now

Am I right if I fight?

That I might just get away from you now

Sting me!

Well I feel something's giving me the chance to return

It's giving me the chance of saving my soul

Beating down the demigod, I'm fading away

I'm going backwards but I'm in control

Feel it slipping away, slipping in tomorrow

Getting back to sanity, providence of sorrow

Was it wise to disguise

How I tried to get away from you now

Is there a way that I could pay

Or is it true I have to stay with you now?

(Iommi Solo)

How I lied, went to hide

How I tried to get away from you now

Am I right if I fight?

That I might just get away from you now

Fuck me!

I'm really digging schizophrenia, the best of the earth

I've seized my soul in the fires of hell

Peace of mind eluded me, but now it's all mine

I simply try, but he wants me to fail

Feel it slipping away, slipping in tomorrow

Now I've found my happiness, providence of sorrow

No more lies, I got wise

I despise the way I worshipped you yeah

Now I'm free, can't you see

And now instead I won't be led by you now

Free!

(sound effects in the background makes sounds like somebody is getting killed, kind of sublimmitally)

- sorry for the long post guys, and as you could have probably guessed by now, i am an ozzy fan :devil:

For fucks sake! We all have our own opinions on 'the best song' so we dont have to hear every single one of them mentioned by someone. Really, what are you trying to prove?

Its not about proving anything.... its about (hopefully) letting others know of some quality music out there. It's not like you here anything good on the radio now is it!?

I'd go with The Show Must Go On and not just because I'm a massive QUeen fan. IT's such an inspiring song. Read the lyrics

Empty spaces - what are we living for

Abandoned places - I guess we know the score

On and on

Does anybody know what we are looking for

Another hero another mindless crime

Behind the curtain in the pantomime

Hold the line

Does anybody want to take it anymore

The show must go on

The show must go on

Inside my heart is breaking

My make-up may be flaking

But my smile still stays on

Whatever happens I'll leave it all to chance

Another heartache another failed romance

On and on

Does anybody know what we are living for

I guess I'm learning

I must be warmer now

I'll soon be turning round the corner now

Outside the dawn is breaking

But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free

The show must go on

The show must go on - yeah

Ooh inside my heart is breaking

My make-up may be flaking

But my smile still stays on

Yeah oh oh oh

My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies

Fairy tales of yesterday will grow but never die

I can fly - my friends

The show must go on - yeah

The show must go on

I'll face it with a grin

I'm never giving in

On with the show

I'll top the bill

I'll overkill

I have to find the will to carry on

On with the

On with the show

The show must go on

I made it to say: there are many of these and people just disagree, so why bother?

If you want to follow that then you nobody will post anything.Everyone diagrees on everything in life
