What is the greatest song ever written?

[NZBlue]

Thats a good choice.
Have you heard Christy Moore with a version of it called " Back home in Derry"

Actually written by IRA militant Bobby Sands when he was in the Maze prison, which puts a whole different take on it

 

[StrangewaysHereWeCome]

Jamming - Bob Marley.
Domino - Jessie J.

Both are simple, yet simply great songs

 

[Ghostofmerlin]

There's a lot, but I think Let it Be may be the best song ever written.

[GornikDaze]

Greatest, the OP said. The topic is greatest songs.

Presumably he thinks it is, hence his nomination?

I’m utterly shocked that nobody has put forward the anthem #ynwa a song so uplifting it inspires 30000 Norwegians and Irish to sit on their hands for 90 mins plus var time in silence so overcome as they are of the majesty of the tune.

If they hadn’t have hijacked it or there wasn’t an association with them, I might have added it to my list because it is a wonderful song.

 

[Protein Junkie]

Shaddupa ya face

A man with taste and also best guitarist ever.

 

[Blue Til Death]

Diker Dum Dum by Des O’Connor, the simplicity of the lyrics is pure genius …!

 

[Grassland Blue]

Unchained Melody
The Righteous Brothers
Can't be far off.

Because it's coming up to Remembrance Day.
It's a long way to Tipperary
