The Best Song by ...

[Driftwood]

Sure, some might cite "Margaritaville" or "Pirate Looks at 40," but I say this is Jimmy Buffett's best song ...

My favorite: Son of a Son of A Sailor. I honestly don't think Margaritaville makes my top 10.

 

[Songbird]

Have to disagree with the previous post about Tom Petty because this is their best song by a mile:

 

[Huggy]

No.

No no no no no no no.

No.

If I were to pick Rod's top 20 songs all 20 would be from years before "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy" was recorded.



This could be replaced by "Every Picture Tells a Story" or "(I Know) I'm Losing You" or about a dozen Faces songs.

Or this one:

 

[Huggy]

The Clash:



The Jam (and my choice as the best song from the 80s):



Tom Petty:



Stones:

 

[Songbird]

THIS is the best song by The Jam and it's not even close.

Margaritaville shouldn't make anyone's top 10. But it's hard to sort a top one, but this one is up there. So is A Pirate Looks at 40.

 

[Songbird]

Joining You is the best song by Alanis.

I will accept no substitutions on Bruce. Thunder Road. Period. You can quibble about the version.

 

[Songbird]

This is difficult. My favorite Depeche Mode song is probably Policy of Truth.

But Blasphemous Rumors is probably their best song.

My fave version of "Margaritaville":



This is probably my fave Buffett song:

Changes in Latitude has a ton of good songs.
