Artist and song. Your opinion, no link needed.
I'll start with:
CCR- Heard It Though The Grape Vine (Long Version).

Added YouTube link to original post. I should have done that in the beginning. Thanks all for making this a great thread.

Bear many movies I have watched about the war had most of these as the background music.

But you my friend lived in that time and place. You made it home but lots did not

I wouldn't call it the best song ever written, but the one that gets me every time I hear it is Taps.

Toccata and Fugue in D minor Reaches right into your soul.

Johann Sebastian Bach 300+ years ago. Other end of the musical spectrum from rock n roll and great doesn't adequately describe it...

I'm a total Bach fan.
Claire de Lune by Claude De Bussey is another favorite especially as a piano solo. Spent many hours learning to play this. Probably the most expressive melody ever written. Here's 3 ways.

Sorry, lost my head... If I had to choose the greatest rock tune with lyrics, I would have to say 'Wish You Were Here' - Pink Floyd So hard to choose as Floyd had the best lyrics of the era IMHO.

That was my first choice in post 9 . Great lyrics .

LRB Cool Change with John Farnham at the helm. Man does he display his chops singing this song. For all their other LRB songs I like the Glenn Shorrock.

 

[JckDanls 07]

I like it Chris... never heard that version.. but I always have liked the song ...

A little Devil Woman... Cliff Richards

The Great Gig In The Sky solely because of Clare Torrey's vocals. They brought her into the studio, gave her the sheet music, and said its about dying. Sing it without using words. It took one take...
