Best song of the 20th Century... Empty Best song of the 20th Century...

...that isn't by Radiohead.

Sabotage by the Beastie Boy.

You know the song. Look it up. YouTube the shit out of it. Sure, 1994 seems along time ago but surely song writing had (other than Radiohead) reached it's zenith.

I can't stand it, I know you planned it
But I'm gonna set it straight this watergate
But I can't stand rockin' when I'm in this place
Because I feel disgrace because you're all in my face
But make no mistakes and switch up my channel
I'm Buddy Rich when I fly off the handle
What could it be, it's a mirage
You're scheming on a thing - that's sabotage

It's cliché as f*ck, but it's Stairway to Heaven all the way for me. It has everything.

"Take a whiff on me", Woody Guthrie c. 1935


I mean, any song with the couplet

A-walkin' down the road, the road is mighty muddy,
A -slippin' and a-slidin' and I can't stand studdy ...

has got to beat any of that electric shut penned after the demise of Hitler and his cronies.

It's too difficult to ascertain.. certainly no song that could be published here I'd say. Definitely not American Pie though. My cousin's kid who's about four years old made up a song better than that horseshit.

May as well be. That's a shitty song by whichever standard under which one would place it. Shit song.

This was written in 1924 (which still counts as the 20th century, I believe):

By sales "Shaddaup your face" is one of the best selling songs of all time. Though I prefer the more enigmatic ones, "Clouds in my Coffee" and "American Pie"

Seriously, I'm trying to decide between
"Wish You Were Here" - Pink Floyd
"Needle And Spoon" - Savoy Brown
or "Pussy Town" - Machine Gun Fellatio

Look at me caring about American Pie. I suppose I was angry nobody had mentioned 'Too Shy' by Kajagoogoo.

Is "Best" different to "Greatest"?

From the popular music era, I wouldn't argue with "Stairway". Plenty of great jazz songs too though. "Mac the Knife" is one of my very personal faves.

American Pie!! Where did that come from? I don't know why I didn't think of that before.

And while the King was looking down, Brass Monkey stole his golden crown ... isn't it? MARVELLOUS!

Actually anything by Pink Floyd could make this list.
