Hard to say, but Leadbelly's "Goodnight Irene" is a nominee

Postby I Want to Smash Them All » Thu Dec 13, 2012 7:22 pm

Any of the original versions by Leadbelly are awesome - here is one that is not the best (and the video sucks) but gives you the idea -- particularly of his voice: Goodnight Irene

Nothing will ever come close to its greatness.
My nation DOES NOT reflect my political views. The interplanetary-level Federation government is libertarian only for realism purposes, and functions more like a confederation. Since it has such a large territory to manage, the federal bureaucracy can only provide the bare essentials efficiently, while most other decisions are devolved down to the planetary governments.

If you're reading this, you are an winrar.

it's this because it feels like the soundtrack to those days where all the floods of the world seem to be filling up your skull with torture and rape and genocide and existential crisis.
we, unlike the bourgeoisie, have nothing to lose and therefore our expression will be the only honest one, our words will be the only challenging ones and our art will be the one revolutionary expression. We need new noise and new voices and new canvases to become something more than the last poets of a useless generation.

Handel's "Messiah".

Perhaps also Bach's "Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 in F", the first song on the Voyager's golden record.

Isra says Revolution 9 - The Beatles (sarcastically... he only likes to torture me with it). Queen is good but I don't think one of their songs is "the best song in the history of Earth".

Ahhh I can't chose one! I love music too much. It would be easier to answer if it said a specific type of music, for example if someone asked me what is the best sad love song I know the first thing that comes to mind is a song by The Cure.

Barrett had a touch for psychedelia and atmosphere that none of the other primary songwriters in that band had. Piper is up there with any other Pink Floyd album.
