In the spirit of "Best single album if you were stuck on an island," the topic of discussion is your favorite single of all time. What single song do you think is everything a song should be? What song gets everything right? What song really blows you away even though you've heard it thousands of times?
In order to avoid the "there are so many types of music" syndrome, I've come up with the following response format. Please provide one favorite for each genre, and then choose your overall favorite from among them. Feel free to talk about why you chose each song (you can include the names of other songs you almost chose, but you're stuck with ONE best song for each category).
Note: since Classical doesn't fit with the concept of a "single" there isn't a category for Classical. Likewise, since jazz songs are usually not considered "singles" they aren't included in the form. We can always have a "jazz" and "classical" thread later, right?
The rules (hey, I started the thread, I get to establish the rules
):
1) Only ONE answer for each category. No lists, no "depending on my mood" cop-outs
No multiple responses to the thread. As mentioned above, you can talk about other songs you almost chose, but you must pick a "best" for each category, and an overall "best."
2) Any single song is eligible, even if it wasn't officially released as a "single" (i.e. you can pick any song off any album).
3) You don't get a separate category for soundtrack songs or live performances -- put them in the appropriate category <g>
--------ANSWER FORM BEGIN----------
Classic Rock/Pop (70s and prior):
80s Rock/Pop:
Recent Rock/Pop (90's to present):
Electronic/Electronica:
Country:
Folk:
Vocals/BigBand/Jazz Vocals:

Rap/HipHop:
Metal:
Industrial:
OVERALL FAVORITE: (please include a few words on why you chose it)
--------ANSWER FORM END----------
This should be fun
I always like to see what kinds of music other people like, and I've found some great music from these threads.
