Your idea of a perfect song?

So OT, have you ever listened to a song and just thought...This song could not have been made any better? For whatever reason, you listen to them and just believe that what you are listening to was tailor made with you in mind. With that in mind, this means that others may not see the merit in the song, or even view it as a good song at all, but to you it doesn't matter. These are the kinds of songs that you can just listen to over and over again and never grow tired of them. To you, they were made absolutely perfect and you wouldn't change a single word, riff or moment of it. Here are some of the songs I think were made to musical perfection:

All My Friends - LCD Soundsystem
Have You Ever Seen the Rain - Creedence Clearwater Revival
Bittersweet Symphony - The Verve
Jesus of Suburbia - Green Day
Starlight - Muse
All These Things That I've Done - The Killers
You've Got The Music In You - New Radicals
Times They Are A Changin/Like a Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan
Time to Pretend - MGMT
Free Fallin - Tom Petty
How Far We've Come - Matchbox Twenty
Come Together - The Beatles
The Winner Is... - Devotchka

Now remember, these songs are MY picks for what I view as perfect. Many of you may very well hate some of these songs, but that doesn't matter, as I still love them. I can't even really describe why they are perfect to me (and neither may you be able to put words to your personal choices) as I think words would devalue what these songs do for me. Love them, hate them, to me, they are perfect.

So, what are your choices?

Iron Maiden - Rhime of the Ancient Mariner
Burzum - Det Som En Gang Var
Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger
Led Zeppelin - Achilles Last Stand
Paysage D'Hiver - Welt Aus Eis

Check them out.

There are about 10 Gang Starr songs that I'd call "perfect". :P My favorite is either Mass Appeal or Above the Clouds.

Iron Maiden - Rhime of the Ancient Mariner

KHAndAnime

I definately agree with that. Except its better live

But a perfect song to me has to have talent, speed, solos, and great vocals. Also it can't just be studio magic, like most new artists have now. Back in the day you had to have pure talent

Iron Maiden - Rhime of the Ancient Mariner

TweekzAlot

I definately agree with that. Except its better live

Agreed :)

You Never Know by Immortal Technique is as close to perfect as a song can get IMO. Such a sad song though.

Yeah Dickinson gives the song much more life I think when its played live. I don't really know why either haha. But this song became one of my favorites from them recently

Sexx Laws - Beck

Electric Feel - MGMT

Miles Davis - Blue In Green

Psycho Killer - The Talking Heads

John Coltrane - My Favourite Things

Well, out of what I've listened to recently, this struck me as something that couldn't have been executed better.

Konstantine by Something Corporate.

Intentions by We Came As Romans.

Play Crack the Sky by Brand New.

Love Grows (Version 2) by Nobuo Uematsu.

Aeris' Theme by Nobuo Uematsu.

You Never Know by Immortal Technique is as close to perfect as a song can get IMO. Such a sad song though.

Too Bright to See, Too Loud to Hear - Underoath

I'll just cut it short right here. I could go on forever though. All of these songs I could listen to for an indefinite amount of time.

Emotion if a song can make me feel something I like it like under the bridge the singer isn't great but his vocie has emotion in it so I can "buy" into the song .

Haggard - In A Fullmoon Procession

Nightwish - Gethsemane

Therion - Clavicula Nox
