What song is your pick as the best of all time for you personally?

Question

Sure there may be other songs that are universally more loved, but I am curious what song you feel is the best of all time.

It's such a tough pick for me tbh. I know there are way more songs that are loved, but I am such a fan of the song Time After Time, Cyndi Lauper's version, that I have to probably put it as my number one song. Controversial probably, but I can't help it lol

So how about you? What song do you list as the best song ever recorded?

Oh wow, that’s so crazy, because my pick would be Dime After Dime by Cam’Ron…

I’m kidding😝 Still goes hard though. 🎶And the fiends gon’ be waitiiiiiinnnnn’…. dime after dime🎶😂😂😂

My mental catalogue of music is too deep to pick just one. I’ve forgotten more songs than I remember at this point.

If I’m going by “Most Beautiful”, I’d probably go with Unchained Melody...

“Most Differently Skilled Within Their Own Genre” would maybe be Rap God by Eminem…

“Best Lyrical Cotent” (tie):

1A - Respiration by BlackStar

https://www.youtube.com/embed/dpYe1yGwK_A

🎶So much on my mind that I just can’t recline/Blastin’ holes in the night til she bled sunshine/Breathe in; inhale vapors of bright stars that shine/Breathe out; weed smoke retrace the skyline/Heard the bass ride out like ancient mating call/I can’t take it y’all!/I can feel the city breathin’/Chest heavin’ against the flesh of the evenin’/Sigh before we die like the last train leavin’🎶

1B - Daylight by Aesop Rock

https://www.youtube.com/embed/tKGPDpWKCyc

🎶And I’m sleeping now; yeah, the settlers laugh/You won’t be laughing when your covered wagons crash/You won’t be laughing when the buzzards drag your brothers’ flags to rags/You won’t be laughing when your front lawn’s spangled with epitaphs/And I’ll hang my boots to rest when I’m impressed; so I triple-knot ‘em and forgot ‘em/This origami dream is beautiful, but, man those wings’ll never leave the ground/Without a feather and a lottery ticket, NOW SETTLE DOWN🪶🎰🎶

🎶Life’s not a bitch; life is a beautiful woman/You only call her a bitch ‘cause she wouldn’t let you get that 🐱/Maybe she didn’t feel y’all shared any similar interests/Or maybe you’re just an asshole who couldn’t sweet-talk a princess🎶

Just my general “I never seem to get sick of this song”, I’d maybe go with Ice Cube’s “It Was A Good Day”, if there’s a gun to my head…

I’ll leave it there. That’s about as close as I can get to a definitive answer. And as soon as I move on, I’ll rememeber two dozen other songs I’d have wished I include in the conversation, haha

Just at this moment I'll do this one. I remember waking up to go to work that night in August of 90 and learning that he had been killed in a helicopter crash on the side of a summertime ski-slope. He was our real homeboy hero, and he's buried less than a mile from here. All the blues legends and more turned out for his send off... fly on Stevie Ray!

For me it’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen 🎧

It hits every nerve: theatrical, emotional, weird, iconic. It feels like a mini movie with all those shifts, so my film‑brain loves it, and the harmonies are insanely visual to me when I’m painting. I never skip it, no matter my mood.

And your pick isn’t controversial at all, “Time After Time” is timeless 💿✨
