Best 3 Songs Ever (In Your Opinion)?

[redglow]

Let's go down another road

Handel's Water Music.
J.S. Bach Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 Movement 3
Theme song from: "The Rockford Files".

 

[Humblepipe]

Wow, tough one! I have to separate Rock and Country, I'm not an animal.

Rock:
Bob Dylan - Like a Rolling Stone
Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter
Beatles - Let It Be

Country:
Willie - Blue Eyes Crying in The Rain
Merle - Momma Tried
Johnny Cash - Ring of Fire

Yes. These work. Nice selection.

 

[kanaia]

Hank Williams: I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry
Led Zeppelin: Babe I'm Gonna Leave You
Frank Sinatra: One For My Baby
Of course that can change in a couple of hours.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

Jimi Hendrix: Bold as Love
Rolling Stones: You Can't Always Get What You Want
Any of a dozen Who songs. Pete Townshend is a genius.

 

[perdurabo]

Damn, this’ll be hard!


Led Zeppelin Achilles Last Stand
Tears for Fears The Working Hour
Pink Floyd Dogs

If I had to pick with a gun pointed at my head^^^^^^^^

Kansas - Dust in the Wind
Boston - More Than a Feeling

Mary Jane's Last Dance - Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Kansas - Dust in the Wind
Poncho and Lefty
Bob Dylan - Like a Rolling Stone
Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter
Beatles - Let It Be
American Pie
Yesterday
Sound of Silence
CSN - Helplessly Hoping

+1 to all of the above.

It is not possible for me to even pick 3 favorite albums, much less 3 favorite songs, but there is one song that would always be at the top of my list. One that I consider to be the quintessential rock song, and one that is both musical and lyrical perfection...and that I will never tire of hearing.

Impossible to pick 3, but 3 that I love are:

The Flower Kings - Flora Majora
Marillion - Fantastic Place
Transatlantic - We All Need Some Light

Like others have said, this list could change depending on the day.

I was off by a decade +.

An old soul trapped in a 45 year old body. Bought my first pipe at 17.

Impossible to say, I choose music after my mood.
Some songs are for hard work, some are for relaxation and introspection.
