Greatest Song Ever Recorded

[zwiller]

If I had to hazard a legit answer to that question, I'd say a Robert Johnson song like Crossroad Blues.

Layla Derek and the Dominos

The doors. Back door man

These may not be the greatest songs ever, but they could be heard blaring out of almost every kids car driving the strip in my heyday.

1978 Senior year in high school: I must have worn out 3 or 4 cassettes of this album


1979 Freshmen year in college: Many a beer cracked open to this one


1974: The one good thing about older siblings. Getting turned on to older music

I'm a huge Southern Rock fan, despite growing up in New England.
I wore out so many Skynyrd/Blackfoot/Outlaws/Molly Hatchet albums and tapes its ridiculous.


That said, if I had to pick my top 3 greatest, it's these:

3. Rush - Spirit of Radio
2. Kansas - Carry On Wayward Son
1. Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven

 

[Danblacksher]

TNJake the solo in Comfortably numb i think was voted the greatest solo in Rock History.

although I tend to view this as the greatest guitar performance ever, thats just me.

 

[DRKsmoking]

" Long Black Veil " By almost everyone , John Anderson, Johnny Cash, Lefty Frizzell, The Band, Rolling Stones, The Chieftans and a couple others.
also sung by one of the writers of the song Marijohn Wilkin
but my favorite is by John Anderson. just really like his voice
