what do you guys think is the greatest song (in terms of lyrics) ever written?

for me it has to be Under the Bridge by the Chili Peppers or Mary Jane by Alanis Morrisette

I don't know if there is a topic about this but yeahhhhh

Anyways... "Maybe, Maybe Not" by BoA

O I'm sure ther's already a similar topic, but i really couldnt be assed to checked

Anything by Michael Jackson he maybe a child perv but he is a great artist

She Will Be Loved by Maroon 5

i like the chorus to that... Good Riddance by Green Day is great too

uck, maroon5 is horrid

criminal- fiona apple

i like maroon 5.

ah memories of Costa Rica, singing on the bus with laura. I love you goat face.

anyway...

Vindicaterd by Dashboard Confessional

Hotel California by the Eagles

somehow i think that "vindicaterd" is actually a more appropriate name for it

maroon5 still sucks. all high and squeaky, deperately annoying and highly overplayed

Anything By Elton John...I think he is a genious. I love that "i will always love you" song by whitney houston (lol sorry jeremy!) and "my heart will go on" was beautifully written...Some of the beatle songs...but mostly elton john..like my fav, "your song"

I meant Vindicated. shut up. we have a new keyboard, and its funky.

i Love Hotel California.

its not that maroon5 are so great, but its just there are memories there

eh, maybe (well, not really)

billy joel

what by billy joel. i love Piano Man. o and the song i was thinking of 5 seconds ago, but has now totally escaped me. o dear

Also... anything by Cake

well, theres a lot by billy joel. moving out, we didnt start the fire, etc etc


oh, and person, i do like cake as well. i missed their damn concert because it was on the night before a test. damn algebra

It's originally by Dolly Parton.

Hmmm...greatest song ever written, huh? That's a hard choice to make. "Nature Boy" written by Eden Abez (and sung by Nat "King" Cole) is pretty high up there. And a bunch of Beatles songs.

Hm...I'm gonna say Remember to Forget by Eyes Catch Fire...excellent song...

Everytime by Britney Spears.
Love the song and the lyrics. ;]

yes! i agree...hotel california is in my top five....

i will edit it when i think of the best song...

my heart will go on by celine dion.

anything by brand new or bright eyes.

conor oberst and jesse lacey are gods at writing lyrics.

American Pie- Don Mclean

The song that comes to my mine is

BabyFace - The Loneliness

(that how i feel these days)

that is such a hard question to answer. jeebus. good riddance (time of your life) by green day is one...another would probably be hold on by the starting line. i can think of more but my list would keep going...

dreaming of you by selena. i love that song! it's like from my childhood
and i also love
i'll be by edwin mccain.
another song from my childhood.

haha, what the heck? that song.. ack, i have the cd and that song isnt that good in my opinion.

Number one song would be... it's this mandarin song... i dont remember who sang it but i know the original version of it. It's a hecka old song, like 20-30 years old or something, somewhere around that old. The song is called "The Moon Represents My Heart." I like the guy version of it.

Hahahaha Cake... "I like them girls with the short skirts and the longgggg jacket."
Yes, anything written by Conor Oberst. He's all over the magazine stands. I read like 50 articles about him from the 3 magazines I bought at Barnes and Noble. God help us all once those teenie boppers get a load of Bright Eyes. Letter Kills "Hold My Heart: Pt II" is great too. Billie Joe Armstrong writes the occasional 'meaningful song' every now and then. And as much as I hate to admit it, Yellowcards acoustic "Rough Draft" is a pretty well written song as well.

Hotel California , Dreaming of you by Selena , SUnday Morning Maroon 5 , She will be Loved by Maroon 5 , Anything by Hoobastank , Anything by Linkin Park.

crash into me by dave matthews band
or hotel california by the eagles

Billie jean by mj or Peace Train by Yusaf Islam

Such a hard question

IMO
Changes- 2Pac

yeah, teresa teng sang the original- its a pretty good song actually.
hmm, this is tough, i'll edit this later.

Anything by Simple Plan (duh!)

"Pieces" by Sum41
"Boulevard of Broken Dreams" by Green Day
"Stuck" by Allister
... many more

i personally think that "Hold On- Jet" and "For You- The Calling" (way more than just ear candy)
ohhhh.... i forgot "Chariot (stripped)- Gavin DeGraw" excellent song.

I really like Dido songs. They're so.... calming?


Anyone else think so?

Yes i love Sand in my shoes and White Flag


Existentialism on Promnight by Straylight run is pretty damn good

definately truly madly deeply by savage garden

she will be loved is one of the worst songs ever, and hoobastank is a horifically awful band. everyone of their songs sounds alike, and not remotely good. they fall into that makes me twitch category

no its not

it is so. its awful and obnoxious

i dont care, for me it has history, so please dont dis

i think its a little late for that, but alright

i can't pick one.

"manana" by desparecidos
"the center of the earth" by bright eyes
"the great decay" by cursive
"the rain of the golden gorilla" by ozma
