In search of the perfect song (rock or pop)

3) - Ripples (GENESIS).. a song off "A Trick of the Tail" .. one of those older Genesis tunes nobody has heard..
Sit back and enjoy.

2) - Ordinary World (DURAN DURAN)

I am quite fond of that song. Probably the only one I truly like every time I hear it or a cover of it.

Oh, come on. Seems totally subjective and fully dependent on one's particular mood in a given moment. There's really no such thing as the perfect pop/rock mix in that regard.

But anyway. In the interest of compliance...

Boston first came to mind before I opened this thread.
So just to say I participated, here is this masterpiece...

Baker Street - Gerry Rafferty

4) Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man)

Post your candidate for a song you think is as close to perfect as you can get (pop/rock):

I'll begin with:
1) - Peace of Mind (BOSTON)

I'd advise you NOT to listen, it's gets into your head and and you'll NEED to hear it 6 times a day

I warned you

I think I'm becoming a fan.

Here’s what I don’t get. The number one complaint about pop stars by non musicians is they don’t write their own songs or play instruments. Taylor does both and she still gets shit on.
Her music is far from my favorite but I listen to her and I like it.

I can't understand a word they're saying/singing.

I prefer to listen to the melody rather than words

An all time fave of mine from my childhood. Excellent choice.

I think the Doobie Brothers “ Black Water “ is as good as any Eagles hit

I hearken to the days before "wall of sound" and screaming, when you could enjoy both. Sinatra said that his songs were "a love story told in three minutes". It was nice to actually hear the story.
