Simple. Let us know what you think the best song ever is.
Note that I'm not asking what your favorite song is. I'm not necessarily saying you should judge off of lyrics over musical technique, or harmony over dissonance. Music is something more than such rigid labels. What is the best song ever written?
I doubt anyone will ever find the answer, but perhaps the folks of Chubbs can take a few steps in the right direction.
I personally think it is American Pie by Don McLean. Everything about this song is perfect. The acoustic rock is appreciable today by anyone who has the slightest touch of love for the guitar. The emotional lyrics certainly rank up in the top five for best lines ever written. Even after hearing it a hundred times, you can not help but feel stirred by such lines as, "I don't remember if I cried when I heard about his widowed bride, but something touched me deep inside the day the music died." A masterpiece, by every right.
So, what do you guys think? Maybe some Zeppelin? Maybe some Queen? What is the single best song ever?

Symphony of Destruction by Megadeth
or
99 luft balloons by Nena.
Symphony of Destruction is a metal/rock classic, and like most Megadeth songs, has a deep meaning.
99 luft balloons has such a upbeat sound to it, and just, makes me feel happy.

Best song ever would have to go to...
System of a Down - BYOB
The reason is that if you understand what the message is, you'll get it. If not, you'll be stuck thinking why people would be having a party in the desert.

I've got three that would make it equally, in my opinion. I chose this one because I've listened to it the second longest, and feel it's better than the oldest of my "best" three. This is hard.
Nine Inch Nails - Every Day Is Exactly The Same
Reason: Never have I heard a song I related so well to. Aside from that, the lyrics are absolutely fantastic, and the vocals are done to a very stringent standard of quality. The instrumentation is very adept as well, though some might argue the use of (fairly minor) machine beats to add to the actual instruments' ambience is a bad thing. I wouldn't, but, there it is.

This thread is about what you think the best song ever is, not your favorite song.
Just to clarify. Not to pick on anyone, just putting that out there.
"All Along the Watchtower" by Jimi Hendrix (Originally by Bob Dylan)
If not "Layla", then that song.

If you're referring to me, I know. I admit bias probably had a bit to do with it, but I still feel it's a strong contender.

You're not the only one and fair enough. I think for most people the best song ever/favorite song categories blend together. It's cool.

I can't believe you agree with me.
It has to be the gansta Pikachu that proves it. Nothing will ever beat that...
