What is the greatest song of all time?

Amazing Grace

Seriously

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3yCcXgbKrE

somewhere over the rainbow or what a wonderful world or something like that

In Between Days - The Cure

I gotta say bohemian rhapsody

>>74318068
I counter with I'll Fly Away.

>>74318068
>>74318076

fuck I don't know which of these to choose, I could always pick one of my personal favorites but I know they aren't as inherently good candidates as either of these

for example, two of my picks would be

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HI3QD5P8GgY

>>74318041
Life on Mars nigga

>>74318041
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt1Pwfnh5pc

Yes this version

>>74318626
From what I hear and see, people prefer Cash's.

I still like the original though

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQBC5URoF0s

I'm not going to bother being contrarian, Water Get No Enemy is Fela Kuti's most popular song because it's his best. Simple. It is amazingly lively and catchy, and, for me, wouldn't get dull going past nine minutes. Although I could say that about a lot of Kuti's compositions, honestly.

>How is it not a song?
look up the definition of song in a music dictionary or something
it's a a wonderful piece, but it's not a song.
Debussy did write some good songs though, like

"Song" usually implies at least some content that is actually sung.

Claire de Lune, is a terrific little piano piece, but doesn't have any actually singing in it.

Also, Debussy had a weird shaped head.

21st Century Schizoid Man

Surprised it wasn't posted yet, it's quite clearly the best

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ju8xO_Zvfo

This might just be me, but this song has elicited emotional reactions that no other song has quite as much. Something about how cathartic it is.

On a question of which is the best worth having of two pleasures, or which of two modes of existence is the most grateful to the feelings, apart from its moral attributes and from its consequences, the judgement of those who are qualified by knowledge of both, or, if they differ, that of the majority among them, must be admitted as final. And there needs be the less hesitation to accept this judgement respecting the quality of pleasures, since there is no other tribunal to be referred to even on the question of quantity.

Thus it is by this measure that this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgKAFK5djSk
must be the greatest song of all time. With nearly 3 billion views (the most on youtube), it's undeniable that this has been judged by the collective choice of the human race as greatest song of all time.

>>74320768
Ok but that would make Happy Birthday or some shit the greatest song of all time
