In this thread we post songs we consider to be perfect.

I'll start:

Queen - I'm in Love With My Car

[youtube=560,345]-9JuAx_CB6o[/youtube]

This song has no flaw. It pumps me up every time I listen to it. The drums, the piano, the guitars, the riffs, the beat, the chords, the lyrics, the singing...

It is a masterpiece.

The machine of a dream
Such a clean machine
With the pistons a pumpin'
And the hub caps all gleam

When I'm holdin' your wheel
All I hear is your gear
When my hand's on your grease gun
Oh it's like a disease son

I'm in love with my car
Gotta feel for my automobile
Get a grip on my boy racer rollbar
Such a thrill when your radials squeal

Told my girl I'll have to forget her
Rather buy me a new carburetor
So she made tracks sayin'
This is the end now
Cars don't talk back
They're just four wheeled friends now

When I'm holdin your wheel
All I hear is your gear
When I'm cruisin' in overdrive
Don't have to listen to no run of the mill talk jive

I'm in love with my car
Gotta feel for my automobile
I'm in love with my car
String back gloves in my automolove

I love Billie Jean but I can't listen to it anymore. After MJ's death I listened to Thriller 9999999x and I can't listen to Billie Jean OR Beat It anymore. It didn't help that the radio stations played the songs repeatedly at that time as well.

Veidt · « **Reply #7 on:** April 12, 2010, 07:13:33 PM »

recent MJ songs I've listened to include Heal The World and Stranger in Moscow

Himu · « **Reply #8 on:** April 12, 2010, 07:14:51 PM »

Heal the World makes me cry. Not due to the song itself, but the memories attached to it when it came out.

Same here man. That's pretty much the saddest song I've ever heard. And some parts of it are just straight up soul crushing.

#t=1m20s

WAT? they have 9/11 in the video too?

Mind Blowing.

MJ is the artist of the forever, and I'm glad to have grown up listening to his songs.

I still love this band so much. Even if they recorded for a Twilight movie. Fuck, even that song was better than most of Narrow Stairs.

Quote

Standing firm on this stony ground
The wind blows hard
Pulls these clothes around
I harbour all the same worries as most
The temptations to leave or to give up the ghost
I wrestle with an outlook on life
That shifts between darkness and shadowy light
I struggle with words for fear that they'll hear
But Orpheus sleeps on his back still dead to the world

Sunlight falls, my wings open wide
There's a beauty here I cannot deny
And bottles that tumble and crash on the stairs
Are just so many people I knew never cared
Down below on the wreck of the ship
Are a stronghold of pleasures I couldn't regret
But the baggage is swallowed up by the tide
As Orpheus keeps to his promise and stays by my side

Tell me, I've still a lot to learn
Understand, these fires never stop
Believe me, when this joke is tired of laughing
I will hear the promise of my Orpheus sing

Sleepers sleep as we row the boat
Just you the weather and I gave up hope
But all of the hurdles that fell in our laps
Were fuel for the fire and straw for our backs
Still the voices have stories to tell
Of the power struggles in heaven and hell
But we feel secure against such mighty dreams
As Orpheus sings of the promise tomorrow may bring

Tell me, I've still a lot to learn
Understand, these fires never stop
Please believe, when this joke is tired of laughing
I will hear the promise of my Orpheus sing

Amazing lyricist, singer and musician. Just perfect.

Depends on the mood I'm in but god knows I've listened to Sun Kil Moon's Gentle Moon about a half million times, so that's probably up there.
