Perfect Songs. Got one or two?

[Oliveloaf]

Perfect.

Not your favorite, not even necessarily great...just tight, well produced, satisfying.

[Oliveloaf]

I have a couple:

Penny Lane

I love how the horns surround the perfect harmonies on this song. The song is both big and tight.

Love Song - The Cure

A tight Goth/alternative single. Who knew? Catchy as hell, yet still a little dank sounding. Love it.

I was just listening to Red Hot Chili Peppers "Under the Bridge," and thinking how well it was done, with the little guitar strums under the vocal. Very cool song.

[What Exit?]

I would nominate "Stairway To Heaven", "American Pie", "Imagine", " "

[The Original An Gadaí]

Here Comes The Sun by The Beatles. They essentially handed the Beach Boys their hat with that one. A perfect pop song.

[Elendil's Heir]

I think each of these tunes, so different in many ways, are each just about perfect in their own way. Love 'em! The first two have lyrics; the second two don't.

Rock - "Driver's Seat" by Sniff'n the Tears


Folk - "Heavenly Day" by Patti Griffin


Classical - Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 in G major, BWV 1048, Allegro, by J.S. Bach


Jazz - "Get 'Em Goin'" by Euge Groove

This would have been one of my first four or five choices. Others:

Bruce Springsteen, "Born to Run." It's not his best song, but it's quintessentially Bruce. An amazingly well-crafted statement of purpose for a 25-year old songwriter.

The Beach Boys, "God Only Knows." The most perfect pop song ever.

[CatInASuit]

- Lou Reed, what else?

Heh. My sister had a smartass teacher who once started a class by saying, "Sorry I'm late. The streets were jammed with broken heroes on a last-chance power drive."

"God Only Knows" is prominently featured at the conclusion of the British romantic comedy/drama Love Actually. Check it out.

[Orual]

- Def Leppard

Shut up. You know I'm right.

Late in the Evening

Simon is a killer producer, and this song just winds around itself. Lots of layers, yet it's still catchy and fun. Great to play very loud. Infectious instrumentals.

[The Original An Gadaí]

Here's a perfect slice of melancholia
