Members fretmonster Posted November 15, 2011 Members Share Posted November 15, 2011 [YOUTUBE]OLzzlQj6b6M[/YOUTUBE] This is the first one that sprung to mind, probably because I heard it on the radio recently but there are several for me. "Break on Through" (Doors), "Time of the Season" (Zombies) and "Red House" (Hendrix) are a few others high on my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kayd_mon Posted November 15, 2011 Members Share Posted November 15, 2011 Easy. Whichever song has sold the most and made the most money. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_singles_worldwide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wartoxin Posted November 15, 2011 Members Share Posted November 15, 2011 we will rock you/we are the champions (it's one song dammit!) I don't think the lyrics are that graceful for those though, there must be something better. Although, At least it's not "she was a fast machine..." Easy. Whichever song has sold the most and made the most money. oh god, nice to see rock around the clock is big but look what else is there... Tragic death can bring in a lot of money I guess.

Members smorgdonkey Posted November 15, 2011 Members Share Posted November 15, 2011 Perhaps 'Name' by the Goo Goo Dolls. It remains a song that I immerse myself in every time I hear it and conclude that it is perfect. I'd also pick 'Drops Of Jupiter' by Train if it didn't have the fried chicken/soy latte part in the middle. I could interchange the song with a bunch easily.

Members cratz2 Posted November 15, 2011 Members Share Posted November 15, 2011 Though far from the 'best' song ever, for some reason, Meet Virginia was the first one that popped in my head when I saw the title of this thread. I'd also put Name reasonably high on the list of non-iconic songs I'd have been happy to have penned, along with Unwell by Matchbox 20 and Hey Jealousy by Gin Blossoms. I wasn't really blown away by any of these when they first came out, but thought they were fairly solid songs and I think have aged very well. Perhaps 'Name' by the Goo Goo Dolls.
