what is for you, hands down, the greatest song ever recorded...
like... if you were about to crash a plane into a desert island, and you had time to dub 1 song onto cassette for the 1 walkman that is on this desert island (use your imagination :P)

its a tie between
Joy Division-Love Will Tear us Apart New Order-Blue Monday
I think Id go with Love, because its a bit more uplifting in sound...inspire me to get off the beach.

these topics are too crazy. Right now I am digging Beethoven's 7th symphony, so at the moment I'd bring that one.
But if you ask me in an hour you'll probably get a completely different answer (unless I am still listening to the 7th).

The Beatles- You Won't See Me. So leisurely and cool and effortless. Perfect choppy chords, perfect piano lines, perfect Paul melody, perfect undulating bass line, perfect harmonies... the kind of thing other bands really have to work hard at, but Paul just sat down and 10 minutes later, there it was.
Only other songs that come close are Psychic TV- Just Drifting and The Soft Boys- Underwater Moonlight.

i dont think i can even answer my own question here... although i'll try... ive narrowed it down to : marvin gaye "when did you stop loving me" : sade "pearls" & d'angelo "the root"...
i think im going for...
marvin gaye - when did you stop loving me, when did i stop loving you?

if i knew i'd wind up on a desert island, i don't think i'd pick a favorite song. i'd pick some random, generic tropical island music and let my favorite songs remain in memory.

well, it's not the greatest song ever, but if I was stuck on an island I'd make that my choice for sure, also "telefon tel aviv - life is all about putting things in and pulling them back out" I've listened to that on repeat for hours before

it's very, very good but calling it the greatest song ever seems a bit of an exageration. i guess it's not a question to take too seriously, tho.

"i guess it's not a question to take too seriously"
exactly, I just had to randomly pick one of my favourites. Kodomotachi is pretty amazing though, one of the few songs i'll never get tired of.

If it's a song i had to listen to over and over again, well there's lots of songs I love but the only one i could, and have listened to over and over and over again is, as others have already said, "kodomotachi" by susumu yokota. It's divine, quite literally I believe.

Do make say think - end of music.
So if its the only song I'll ever listen to again, the snappy title will go with it, 'cos its like... the end of.. yeah, music... right.
Although the batteries on the cassette player probably would have run out/tape worn out after a few days/week.

probably i would cheat and bring some eighty minute long track.. but as far as songs go... perhaps midnight in a perfect world... it's not necessarily that i think it's the greatest song ever... but i'm just so comfortable with it... it's like a blanket i can wrap around myself...
