What is the greatest song ever written?

[JOGAMIGMOG]

Happy Birthday to you. It’s the most sung song of all of them.

 

[TravisBickle]

Black - Pearl Jam

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

Maybe some sort of competition.

We could all pick 5 and have some sort of scoring mixed with knock out rounds.

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.

Hard one this i have probably got at least 20 favourites, but i am going with Hiroshima mon amour, Ultravox, honourable mentions for Temptation New order, numerous Stranglers songs and Agadoo black lace.

 

[PragueBlue]

Somewhere Over the Rainbow or What a Wonderful World.

I'd agree that these are 2 of the finest.

 

[Donmcfc]

Sweet Caroline, especially when sung by the England fans.

 

[ali benarbia's studs]

An impossible feat... Even opinions vary.
Like greatest band, solo artist...


Far too many choices for various reasons, mood pending....too many reasons to call one the dominant or greatest.

Imho.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Miserere by Allegri

Certainly the most beautiful. I’d add this. Amazing that these were written 300 years ago.
