    I know it sounds kinda cheesy, but I am interested to hear what people think about this. Esp. #2. Peace.

    1) What is your favorite song of all time. Not just the one you are currently attached to.

    2) What do you think is most widely considered to be the best song in the States.

    Pink Floyd - "Echoes" - Album:Meddle
    this was early pinkFloyd (pre-darkSide/moon)
    DIRECTIONS:
    Next time you trip on Boomers or LSD put this song on max volume and hit repeat.

    ya, ecohes is a good tune.

    My favorite song is "Don't think twice, it's allright" by bob dylan

    and although I strongly disagree, I think Stairway is considered the best song by most people. At least occording to all of my radio stations.

    1. A few that are in the running:
    November Rain - Guns N Roses
    One - Metallica
    Everlong - Foo Fighters
    Purple Haze - Jimi Hendrix
    ATWA - System of a Down
    Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
    2. It's so diverse that I don't think there is one that is widely considered the best

    Almost impossible to do. Have to agree that Elton's Tiny Dancer is a pearl + 1 that's rarely played.
    A few Faves:
    In my life- Beatles
    I can't make you love me- Bonnie Raitt
    Take me in your arms- Kim Weston
    The pretender- Jackson Browne
