Those are all some impressive songs. If you are going by lyrics alone I would have to go with "Dust in the Wind" by Kansas. For me, it's just too perfect in it's phrasing. If you are going for the whole package, then I would have to go with "Time in a Bottle" by Jim Croce. The music perfectly manages to capture the slight sense of magic and whimsy that the words imply, with the same drop of longing infused throughout. A couple of newer songs that might end up being classified in the same vein "Bother" by Stonesour, "Only One" by Yellowcard and "45" by Shinedown. But then again, that's just me rambling over here. Those are all the songs that have my absolute claims to greatest songs of all time.

I saw them live about 12 years ago, love headbanger music.

Nights in White Satin. That's such an amazing song! I so can't believe I forgot about that song.

My favorite song changes all the time...some of my favorites right now are Stinkfist by Tool (I love that song soooo much), The Scientist by Coldplay, Glycerine by Bush, Dumb by Nirvana, Happiness and the Fish by Our Lady Peace, The Zephyr Song by RHCP, Ava Adore by Smashing Pumpkins...ah, I could go on and on...

Best song ever, though? If I had to pick only one, I'd say John Lennon's Imagine. That is an incredible song. A Perfect Circle has a really great cover of it right now, but the lyrics are always beautiful, always relevant. Best song ever, IMO.

Ava Adore by Smashing Pumpkins

YES!!! - I love that song.

I like these kinds of articles because no matter how many people answer there will be no agreement on the greatest song od all time.
I took a poll of about 30 of my friends in 2002 of the greatest love song of all time and I had about 25 in the running.

I have absolutely no idea what the greatest song of all time - or which one I think it is - what makes it great? Is it influence? Is it lyrics? Melody? Harmony? Chords?

Personally I like songs that tell a story. In the Ghetto (Elvis Presley) Janie's got a Gun (Aerosmith) Where the wile roses are (Nick Cave & Kylie Minogue)
They're not particularly good songs but they tell a story.

I'd also put November Rain - G&R right up there.

Where to do I start?

Kim Wilde has some great new wave stuff. Her first three albums are amazing. My favorite cuts are "Our Town" about teens living in a small town. Their parents tell them to stay there and not build a life beyond the town. Another song is "Water On Glass" about a medical condition where people continually hear noises in their head.

For modern rock, I would have to vote anything Nirvana and Hole. To this day, I love "Doll Parts."
