What Is Your Best Song Ever?

They never tell you what you need to know.
What’s your “best song ever”?
I know most of us could pick 10, but it would have to be something you can never get sick of hearing. Most likely pretty old, and possibly puts you in a certain mood when you hear it.
I’d have to go with:
Phil Collins - In The Air Tonight
I don’t think I can ever get tired of hearing that song, it’s perfect from start to finish. I always wished Phil did more “edgy” stuff like this instead of all those sappy ballad type songs he did in the later 80s and early 90s.

Venus in Furs by the Velvets and Search and Destroy by the Stooges are a close second and third
I just read he wrote it while immersing himself in Joni Mitchell’s Blue album, which is a masterpiece.

My choice? "Fragile" by Sting. Haunting melody, acoustic instrument, anti-violence, anti-war, theme.

Also, an appropriate choice given the misery caused by a virus that measures about 100 nanometers. How fragile we are...
For a long time in my younger years it was "Bohemian Rhapsody", Freddie Mercury.
Now it is "Blackbird" by Alter Bridge sung by Miles Kennedy.
Second might be the Rolling Sones “Thru and Thru” ballad sung by Keith Richards
Floyd's Comfortably Numb is a close second
Zevon's Lawyers, Guns, and Money also medals
I don’t know if it’s my favorite song ever. It’s barely over a decade old, but if I define “best” as making me feel the feels, this may be it. It kinda starts like a catchy pop song and talks about how strong their love is for each other ... but there’s just something about that chorus that doesn’t fit “just gonna stand there and watch me burn...” which RiRi sings so lightly like she’s happily in love.
I’ve listened to this song hundreds of times and even though I know the twist at the end [spoiler alert - the love is abuse and he’s literally tying her to the bed and setting the house on fire because she tried to leave him] it still captures me every time how brilliant the structure of the song is. He’s leaving clues throughout the early parts of the song and it ends on a total dark note. Throw in the combination of Eminem’s and Rihanna’s real life love and abuse stories and it just strikes me as brilliant.
one of the purest voices

London Calling by The Clash (or several other songs from that album)
Pretty Persuasion by REM (there are several other songs from Reckoning, Murmur, and Fables of the Reconstruction too).
I honestly can't say a best song ever because there are about 20 or more that can fit that criteria for me.
BLACK STAR ...DEFINITION

My relationship in music lol
trying to pick ONE is impossible however.
Endless juke joints and Valentino drag
Where dancers scraped the tears
Up off the street dressed down in rags
Running into the darkness
Some hurt bad some really dying
At night sometimes it seemed
You could hear the whole damn city crying
Blame it on the lies that killed us
Blame it on the truth that ran us down
You can blame it all on me Terry
It don't matter to me now
When the breakdown hit at midnight
There was nothing left to say
But I hated him
And I hated you when you went away
Wa oh, wa oh
