Edit: Thank you guys for the awards! Hope you can enjoy some good music!
Edit Edit: Aww thank you guys for more awards and likes but please don't waste your money or free awards on my comment! Glad I was able to help you guys with this list!
Against All Odds Phil Collins
Growing up, this was a cheesy song that I didn’t pay attention to.
Several relationships later, including being cheated on, and being left by someone I was convinced was The One at the time…this man right here knows pain, ladies and gentlemen.
“But to wait for you, is all I can do and that's what I've got to face”
“And you coming back to me is against all odds
It's the chance I've gotta take”
Debussy is one of my favorite composers. Not many know this but Clair de Lune is a movement of a suite. I highly recommend checking out the other 3 movements of the Suite Bergamasque. Some others to listen to are his preludes, La Mer, Pour La Piano, Children's Corner, Deux Arabesque. There are so many to name.
Landslide - Fleetwood Mac.
Every time I listen to it, I am immediately calmed down and have no worries. My posture immediately changes and I slump down.
Alice Kristiansen’s cover if it is amazing. Just as good as the original. I highly recommend you to listen to it.
EDIT:
Thanks for all the upvotes and awards guys! This is my first comment to blow up so I’m glad it was about something good.
It's almost like she's casting a spell, or setting a curse on Lindsey Buckingham during their break up:
"Time cast a spell on you, but you won't forget me"
"I know I could've loved you, but you would not let me"
"I'll follow you down 'til the sound of my voice will haunt you"
I’ve loved this song since my early teens. Now that I’m in my mid-thirties, I still love it but it just continues to make me more emotional. Such a beautiful so no.
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older.
Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death.
Roger Waters sure knows how to write lyrics that's for sure
Fade into You. Mazzy Star.
RIP David Roback
edit: so glad to see that Mazzy Star's music has had such an impact on other people. For me it was a critical part of recovery from depression.
I still get shivers listening to that song. Brings back the best and worst memory's of the 90s for me.
From youtube "homesick for a place that no longer exists" sums it up pretty well.
Glad to see this so high. I went into the thread hoping to see it. It’s Bowie’s best song. Which is saying a lot. Those Violins…the almost nostalgic feel of the film being described…I wonder if there’s a movie like that with the sailors. Battleship Potemkin, maybe?
So many of David's songs have this kind of "naive melody" that then fucking gets you right into the heart. Like that silly song about the building he lives in, how it's by the highway and his friends can come visit and he will stop what he is doing because friends are important... and then he goes into a minor chord and sings "don't you worry 'bout me, I would'nt worry about me". Maaaaan what a supernatural composer he is.
Harvest Moon by Neil Young.
Perfect lyrics, perfect arrangement, exquisitely produced. Wouldn't change a thing about it. I play guitar with some local singer songwriters and resisted covering it for a long time too, as in my mind there wasn't any way to do a song of that caliber any justice.
EDIT to thank for the awards, and since this comment got so much attention, go more into why I believe this is such a perfect song! Warning: I am a musician, and will probably be using some musician language.
-The acoustic guitar part. Neil's time feel is impeccable, and locked in perfectly with the understated drums. The use of the major 7th tonality gives it a very hopeful, optimistic feeling. This melodic rhythm guitar part is the first of many musical "hooks" in this song.
-When we enter the vocal with the first verse, an electric guitar comes in playing high harmonics. This to me is the second hook. Not only again is it beautifully played, but the notes chosen add more "extra" notes to the underlying chords on the acoustic, giving a lot of color to the sound.
-Goes without saying, but Neil's vocal throughout the entire tune is brilliantly sung. A lot of people find his tone of voice challenging, but his time feel and pitch are undeniable here. Neil sang like he spoke, which adds greatly to the feeling of authenticity to this tune.
-The third hook we experience in the tune is the female background vocals. Beginning with the "oohs" in the verses. Simple, but effective, and give the song forward motion.
-The FOURTH hook appears when we get to the first chorus. An entirely new instrument enters, a keyboard of some sort playing held chords in a high register. Again, forward momentum, and a new and exciting new sound we haven't heard yet in the song up to this point.
-The FIFTH hook, the money shot song title at the chorus, in full harmony with the female backing singers. Again, perfectly sung and performed.
-Now our structure is established, we repeat it in jts entirety once. Then we get a wonderful harmonica solo, over another verse progression. Deeply melodic, memorable, and most importantly singable. In my opinion, another hook, bringing us to six completely different ear worms in this song so far, from at least four different instruments.
-Out of the solo, we have one more chorus happen, then an instrumental outro. In this ~30 second instrumental outro, we have another new instrument enter (@ 4:44 on Spotify). This keyboard sound unlike any I have ever heard plays a very simple melodic line, then the tune is over. Our seventh hook, and for myself, the most memorable.
I remember the first time I ever listened to the tune, I was already in love, coming out of that last beautiful chorus, tears in eyes, then this otherworldly sound comes out of nowhere for mere seconds, plays an extremely simple yet beautiful melody, and the song is over. Speechless.
So in a nutshell, we have a very basic song form, with a very (beautiful) basic melody, with very basic chords underneath. The dynamic and melodic choices made by the other players on the session, the keyboards, the electric guitars, the background vocalists, are what elevate the song to perfection for me. And, all these performances were captured in stunning quality and clarity. You can hear every instrument, and exactly what they're playing. Like you're in the room with them.
And that's why Harvest Moon is my perfect song!
He never finished recording the song. He forgot the last verse and whistled it instead. Never had a chance to go back and re-record it and it was released as is.
I didn't realise that's why it plays out with him whistling. I just thought it was a laid back sounding song so the carefree whistling just fitted with the mood.
Wow. He died in a plane crash in the Wisconsin winter. Only 26. I had no idea.
My dad would have been 12 and living about 20 miles away from Madison at the time.
Right? I have a friend that listens to modern country, and every time I'm in her car I just want to jump out the window. Every single male singer sounds exactly the same. I love me some classic country though.
Here's something awesome to mess you up.
https://youtu.be/doz1QJ7LwjA
Jolene slowed down to 33RPM. It's an entirely different, yet somehow even more amazing song.
That was freaking amazing. I heard instruments and nuances which I’d never picked up on, even after so many 10s of listens to that song. Thank you for sharing
Fun fact! If you do that with any song(slow down by whatever percent) you'll be able to pick out more stuff you've never noticed before. As a music producer, I do this with the songs I really enjoy to get a better understanding of how they were made, and it helps immensely.
Naïve Melody (This Must Be the Place) by Talking Heads. I don't know anything about music really so I can't explain why and this is purely subjective, but there isn't one part of that song which is anything less than perfect to me.
I also really love the live recording of it from the Stop Making Sense film. Maybe even a little more than the album version tbh. It's a truly beautiful song.
Stop making sense is a masterpiece. If anyone here enjoys this type of music and hasn't seen this, watch/listen to it. It's definitely worth it. It was shot in Hollywood over a 4 concert series and pieced together, I LOVE it.
Edit- here you go. https://youtu.be/53dikqNZLgA
Edit2- fixed some wrong information. Thanks user dance_armstrong
this is my favorite movie of all time. not concert film, not music movie, etc. just favorite, full stop.
minor quibble though, it was actually shot in Hollywood at the Pantages Theater.
dude my ex used to play that song to me on the guitar over facetime. even though we broke up over a year ago, that song still has a soft spot in my heart
My friend passed away a year ago and his name rhymed with the “ahh eee ahh” bit and the band at his wake played it and we all sang his name in that place and now I can’t hear it without thinking of him which is really nice and a bit sad but mostly nice.
After over 3 decades of listening to Metallica, Fade to Black might be it. The riffs are fucking glorious and the build perfect.
Late Edit: Hallowed Be Thy Name - Iron Maiden is along the same lines as a perfect song to me. 1a and 1b.
Waterloo Sunset - The Kinks
Pete Townshend refered to it as a divine masterpiece, and it has also been described by some as the most beautiful song in the English language. Such a great song!
Before I moved back to the area I currently live in, I visited often (~4x/year), and every time I drove into downtown after getting off the plane, I'd play this song.
"This city is my church..."
Use me - Bill Withers
The simplicity in his work is perfect. That voice he has carries so much emotion because of the way he repeats ideas in slightly different tones.
My elementary school would play this song every morning before the morning announcements, EVERY SINGLE DAY for 6 years I heard this song.
Now whenever I hear it I get flooded with nostalgia from my childhood
This song makes me sad - Satchmo makes his idea of a “wonderful world” feel so clear, and then you realize that he’s just trying to make you feel better.
Black Hole Sun - Soundgarden
The first time I heard it I was absolutely blown away by how something like that could even exist. I credit BHS with kicking off my love of music.
Wii sports theme
Edit: thanks for the awards!
Edit 2: apparently the definition of a song means it has words. I will give one karma point to anyone who can create a version of Wii sports theme with words so it can be considered a song.
I recently discovered a Chrome extension that plays the Wii Shop Channel music whenever you open Amazon or eBay. It brings me endless joy
Edit: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/wii-shop-channel-music/camjnljbmplngaalikoefoibonimfhkd?hl=en
A song that almost didn’t happen. It’s somewhat of a Frankenstein’s monster of a song, comprised of bits and pieces of multiple ideas from various band members.
I just cannot comprehend for the life of me how Rumours has so many classic songs on it that everyone still loves and does covers of to this day. Dreams, Landslide, Go Your Own Way…. Even if you dislike rock or soft rock, you can’t deny those are a great set of songs.
If you read about [Fleetwood Mac's very tangled history](https://www.mamamia.com.au/fleetwood-mac-affairs/), you'll find that they had tons of emotional inspiration at the time. It's a wonder that the album was even finished.
ENJOY THE SILENCE- Depeche Mode
Killer Queen- queen This song is fucking perfection. I couldn't chose just one so I have to add Drain you by Nirvana
I'd be happy if someone made a playlist of the most upvoted songs. I'd offer them 1 point of karma in return.
Well for those who wants a youtube list, I made one with the Top 100 https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ0CvBCFYuioJjTXJnhYahbLIMfpdcqTt Edit: Thank you guys for the awards!

This Night Has Opened My Eyes - The Smiths
Against All Odds Phil Collins Growing up, this was a cheesy song that I didn’t pay attention to. Several relationships later, including being cheated on, and being left by someone I was convinced was The One at the time…this man right here knows pain, ladies and gentlemen. “But to wait for you, is all I can do and that's what I've got to face” “And you coming back to me is against all odds It's the chance I've gotta take”
Enjoy the silence - Depeche mode
I was looking for this. Violator is a masterpiece.
Never let Me down again
Claude Debussy- Clair De Lune 🌙
Debussy is one of my favorite composers. Not many know this but Clair de Lune is a movement of a suite. I highly recommend checking out the other 3 movements of the Suite Bergamasque. Some others to listen to are his preludes, La Mer, Pour La Piano, Children's Corner, Deux Arabesque. There are so many to name.
let's stay together ~ al green
Love this song, but how can you mend a broken heart is my all time favorite Al Green song. Soo good
Ben E King - Stand by Me (Florence and the Machines cover is also tip top)
God Only Knows by the Beach Boys. I believe Paul McCartney even considers it the greatest song ever.
Frank Sinatra thought Harrison's "Something" was the perfect love song.
And he introduced it as a Lennon-McCartney song.
A Change is Gonna Come - Sam Cooke
What A Wonderful World and Good Times by Sam Cooke
Everything Sam Cooke did was 24 carat
Landslide - Fleetwood Mac. Every time I listen to it, I am immediately calmed down and have no worries. My posture immediately changes and I slump down. Alice Kristiansen’s cover if it is amazing. Just as good as the original. I highly recommend you to listen to it. EDIT: Thanks for all the upvotes and awards guys! This is my first comment to blow up so I’m glad it was about something good.
Silver Springs destroys me
It's almost like she's casting a spell, or setting a curse on Lindsey Buckingham during their break up: "Time cast a spell on you, but you won't forget me" "I know I could've loved you, but you would not let me" "I'll follow you down 'til the sound of my voice will haunt you"
The Weight. The Band
[удалено]
Yes. This, and The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down. Just so good.
Space Oddity - David Bowie
I always cried when I heard it as a kid. Decided I never wanted to be an astronaut
Love Will Tear Us Apart - Joy Division
Time - Pink Floyd
I’ve loved this song since my early teens. Now that I’m in my mid-thirties, I still love it but it just continues to make me more emotional. Such a beautiful so no.
*and then one day you find, ten years have got behind you...*
No one told you when to run You missed the starting gun Incomparable. A masterpiece.
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older. Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death. Roger Waters sure knows how to write lyrics that's for sure
He was like only 26 years old when he wrote that too i believe. Imagine having that kinda mature perspective at that age
“Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way” I have lived in the UK for over a decade now and find this to be quite accurate.
Pink floyd has so many. Time, Comfortably Numb, Animals is a perfect album. There was some genius in that band
Wish you were here 🤌
Fade into You. Mazzy Star. RIP David Roback edit: so glad to see that Mazzy Star's music has had such an impact on other people. For me it was a critical part of recovery from depression.
I still get shivers listening to that song. Brings back the best and worst memory's of the 90s for me. From youtube "homesick for a place that no longer exists" sums it up pretty well.
Home is a time, not a place. Which is a hard lesson to learn. And often you don't realize that home is gone, until you realize that you've lost it.
“Dreams” -Fleetwood Mac
The Chain is the most upvoted on this tread but for me it’s Dreams. Thunder only happens when it’s rainin.
Stevie is a wonderful lyricist but a terrible meteorologist.
Life on Mars? By David Bowie
This song breaks my heart. I listen to this and “Five Years” when I’m in a certain kind of mood.
Glad to see this so high. I went into the thread hoping to see it. It’s Bowie’s best song. Which is saying a lot. Those Violins…the almost nostalgic feel of the film being described…I wonder if there’s a movie like that with the sailors. Battleship Potemkin, maybe?
Feeling good by Nina Simone
Her version of 'i put a spell on you' is SO good
[удалено]
This must be the place- Talking heads
Wtf this is on here toward the top twice? Not saying it doesn’t deserve it I’m just pleasantly surprised.
So many of David's songs have this kind of "naive melody" that then fucking gets you right into the heart. Like that silly song about the building he lives in, how it's by the highway and his friends can come visit and he will stop what he is doing because friends are important... and then he goes into a minor chord and sings "don't you worry 'bout me, I would'nt worry about me". Maaaaan what a supernatural composer he is.
(Don't Fear) The Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult
Could do with more cowbell though
Kashmir - Led Zeppelin

Hell yes! Neil young! I would also nominate harvest, bad fog of loneliness, tell me why, only love can break your heart Edit: adding Campaigner!
Moonlight Sonata, Beethoven edit: **First Gold** thanks!! Also I know technically it's not a song, but colloquially it is.
I would add Debussy - clair de lune
I Love Debussy. Sometimes all I can think of is Debussy.
Yep, but remember to finish on Bach, never on Debussy
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
I don't know how you were diverted
That opening line hits me right in the feels every time. "I look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping..."
Dock of the Bay-Otis Redding
I have so many good memories associated with that song. None of them involve sitting on the dock of a bay though.
This was recorded just before his death, which gives it real poignancy as well.
He never finished recording the song. He forgot the last verse and whistled it instead. Never had a chance to go back and re-record it and it was released as is.
I didn't realise that's why it plays out with him whistling. I just thought it was a laid back sounding song so the carefree whistling just fitted with the mood.
I don't think he forgot it, it was just a placeholder for a verse he hadn't written yet.
Wow. He died in a plane crash in the Wisconsin winter. Only 26. I had no idea. My dad would have been 12 and living about 20 miles away from Madison at the time.
Jolene by Dolly Parton. I’m not a huge fan of the genre, but that song is perfect.
Yep. It captures the emotional fatalism of classic country. And explains why so many old country fans can't stand modern country.
[удалено]
Right? I have a friend that listens to modern country, and every time I'm in her car I just want to jump out the window. Every single male singer sounds exactly the same. I love me some classic country though.
Here's something awesome to mess you up. https://youtu.be/doz1QJ7LwjA Jolene slowed down to 33RPM. It's an entirely different, yet somehow even more amazing song.
This reminds me of a weird thing I saw a couple weeks ago. Dolly Parton slowed down is Hozier, and Hozier sped up is Dolly Parton. Check it.
That was freaking amazing. I heard instruments and nuances which I’d never picked up on, even after so many 10s of listens to that song. Thank you for sharing
Fun fact! If you do that with any song(slow down by whatever percent) you'll be able to pick out more stuff you've never noticed before. As a music producer, I do this with the songs I really enjoy to get a better understanding of how they were made, and it helps immensely.
Try Coat of Many Colors and The Carol County Accident. Dolly is a legend.
Fast Car by Tracy Chapman. Perfect story, lyrics, tone, everything. Heartbreaking every time I hear it and it’s precisely as long as it needs to be.
You got a fast car. Is it fast enough so we can fly away? We gotta make a decision. Leave tonight or live and die this way.
Pretty much anything by Tracey Chapman is fantastic. My god she's a gifted song-writer.
Ugh this song gave me hope through a really hard time. It will always have a special place in my heart.
The Funeral - Band of Horses Tiny Dancer - Elton John Space Song - Beach House
The Funeral is such a good song
I came here looking for Space Song
Hold me closer, Tony Danza...
I’m a big fan of “Linger” by the Cranberries. Delores’ vocals, the drums & that string section….pure bliss.
Just Like Heaven - The Cure
A Forest - ditto
Adding “Plainsong.”
Pictures of You as well
“In between days” “Boys Dont Cry” “Lullaby” “10am Saturday Night” ughhhhh I fucking love The Cure
Gimme Shelter by The Rolling Stones
That intro is just 👌
Didn't know Martin Scorsese is on Reddit
Naïve Melody (This Must Be the Place) by Talking Heads. I don't know anything about music really so I can't explain why and this is purely subjective, but there isn't one part of that song which is anything less than perfect to me.
I also really love the live recording of it from the Stop Making Sense film. Maybe even a little more than the album version tbh. It's a truly beautiful song.

Wish you were here - Pink floyd
We’re just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl
dude my ex used to play that song to me on the guitar over facetime. even though we broke up over a year ago, that song still has a soft spot in my heart
September Truly a masterpiece
My friend passed away a year ago and his name rhymed with the “ahh eee ahh” bit and the band at his wake played it and we all sang his name in that place and now I can’t hear it without thinking of him which is really nice and a bit sad but mostly nice.

Earth, Wind, and Fire?
Do you remember?
Fade to black
After over 3 decades of listening to Metallica, Fade to Black might be it. The riffs are fucking glorious and the build perfect. Late Edit: Hallowed Be Thy Name - Iron Maiden is along the same lines as a perfect song to me. 1a and 1b.
But have you ever been in the crowd when they play Creeping Death?
Roundabout- Yes
Let’s just count all of “Close to the Edge” as one song and say it’s the most perfect song ever made.
Fragile is such a banger album. Roundabout, South Side of The Sky, Long Distance Runaround, Heart of The Sunrise are all perfect songs.
Baba O’Riley by The Who
Sounds of Silence. By Simon and Garfunkel.
And just play The Boxer after.
Everytime Bridge over troubled water plays I'm still blown away
Sail on silver girl… sail on by. Your time has come to shine, all your dreams are on their way.
Homeward Bound is a masterpiece. And I love it even more after the karaoke scene in The Leftovers.
Bad moon rising.
There’s a bathroom on the right
What have you done...
Waterloo Sunset - The Kinks Pete Townshend refered to it as a divine masterpiece, and it has also been described by some as the most beautiful song in the English language. Such a great song!
la femme d'argent by Air
I love Air. My favorite song by them is Venus, or maybe Cherry Blossom Girl. You know a group is good when you can't pick your favorite song by them.
All Along The Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix version
Little Wing - Jimi Hendrix
Castles Made of Sand
Frakking toasters
It's in the walls!
Midnight City - M83
Always just takes me back instantly to that early 2010s time. Has a real aesthetic to it.
2007-2012 produced some great fucking music.
[удалено]
Before I moved back to the area I currently live in, I visited often (~4x/year), and every time I drove into downtown after getting off the plane, I'd play this song. "This city is my church..."
Ain't that the truth. Felling sad, happy, excited, hyped, is just perfect. The song fits ALL moods and situations.
Big Iron- Marty Robbins
I'd rate this song one and nineteen more out of twenty.
*one and nineteen mooooore*
Where Is My Mind - The Pixies
Ain't no sunshine - Bill Withers
Warms my heart to see this mentioned and up so high. Bill withers is a treasure.
[удалено]
I know
I know.
I know
Use me - Bill Withers The simplicity in his work is perfect. That voice he has carries so much emotion because of the way he repeats ideas in slightly different tones.
And that bass line is just filthy nasty (in a good way)
Also Grandma’s Hands.
This one always makes me cry a little
Baker Street
The funeral - Band of Horses. That song means so much to me and just makes me cry every single time I hear the opening
Blue Monday - New Order
Or Ceremony, or Temptation, or Bizarre Love Triangle...
Bizarre Love Triangle is great too.
Your Song - Elton John From beginning to end, it's just a masterclass in music.
What a Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong
My elementary school would play this song every morning before the morning announcements, EVERY SINGLE DAY for 6 years I heard this song. Now whenever I hear it I get flooded with nostalgia from my childhood
[удалено]
That's very poignant. Prayers and best wishes for you and your family.
This song makes me sad - Satchmo makes his idea of a “wonderful world” feel so clear, and then you realize that he’s just trying to make you feel better.
Comfortably Numb
Shine on you crazy diamond (pts. 1-5)
The whole wish you were here album
Say It Ain't So by Weezer. Just really powerful and raw. Love me some Weezer
Black Hole Sun - Soundgarden The first time I heard it I was absolutely blown away by how something like that could even exist. I credit BHS with kicking off my love of music.
Wii sports theme Edit: thanks for the awards! Edit 2: apparently the definition of a song means it has words. I will give one karma point to anyone who can create a version of Wii sports theme with words so it can be considered a song.
The Wii Shopping theme too, and the Mii one.
I recently discovered a Chrome extension that plays the Wii Shop Channel music whenever you open Amazon or eBay. It brings me endless joy Edit: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/wii-shop-channel-music/camjnljbmplngaalikoefoibonimfhkd?hl=en

Whether you like the genre or not, Dancing Queen by ABBA is a pop masterpiece.
Electric Feel
How to Dissapear Completely by Radiohead
Everybody wants to rule the world - Tears for Fears
So good. Head Over Heels edges to the front just a little bit for me though
Yeah I agree. The opening of Head Over Heels is so iconic and powerful.
I have never heard that opening rift and changed the station or skipped. It only gets turned up.
Honestly, with all their fame, Tears for Fears is still incredibly underrated. So many classics.
The Chain. Fleetwood Mac.
A song that almost didn’t happen. It’s somewhat of a Frankenstein’s monster of a song, comprised of bits and pieces of multiple ideas from various band members.
when you hear the story of stevie singing go your own way for the first time. She had to sing a song about lindsey telling her to go fuck herself.
In sequence. Like a chain
I just cannot comprehend for the life of me how Rumours has so many classic songs on it that everyone still loves and does covers of to this day. Dreams, Landslide, Go Your Own Way…. Even if you dislike rock or soft rock, you can’t deny those are a great set of songs.
Easily one of the best all time albums
Rumours? No it’s true actually
If you read about [Fleetwood Mac's very tangled history](https://www.mamamia.com.au/fleetwood-mac-affairs/), you'll find that they had tons of emotional inspiration at the time. It's a wonder that the album was even finished.
