Perfect Songs


Genuine Hibs Fan

Recommended Posts

Not sure how you define a perfect song, but I certainly have a list in my head of my absolute favourite songs. These are genuinely the ones that in my world are ‘perfect’. They aren’t (in most cases) by my favourite bands, but hand on heart, here they are… in no particular order at all.

Abba ‘Voulez Vous’

Metallica ‘Enter Sandman’

Spice Girls ‘2 Become 1’

Lady Gaga ‘Edge of Glory’

Elvis Presley ‘One Night’

AC/DC ‘Kicked in the Teeth’

S Club 7 ‘Don’t Stop Moving’

Status Quo ‘Caroline’

Genesis ‘Los Endos’

Elvis Costello ‘Pump it Up’

Republica ‘Ready to Go’

Roger Glover ‘The Third Ring’s Watery Flow’

U2 ‘Vertigo’

Eagles ‘Hotel California’

Bruce Springsteen ‘The Rising’

Currently at work, so can't do YT links, but..

SLF - Alternative Ulster. Killer intro, never lets up.

Wah! - The Story of the Blues. Just an all time feel good pop song.

The Teardrop Explodes - Reward. Cope before he went batshit crazy.

Neil Young - Harvest Moon. I've always heard this as the singer of "Old Man" singing as an Old Man.

The Only Ones - Another Girl, Another Planet. From those glory days when every bunch of hopefuls had one great song in them. And this is one great song.

The Who - Behind Blue Eyes. One of the best tracks on one of my favourite albums - a cry from the heart by the Lifehouse villain.

David Bowie - Rock and Roll Suicide. "Time takes a cigarette" - just a genius closer on another of my top albums.

Rolling Stones - Sympathy for the Devil (if played over video from Altamont)

Chris de Burgh - The Tower. Top "story" song from the Monobrowed one. Excellent "la la  la la la"

Greg Lake - I Believe in Father Christmas.

An obvious choice. If you don't like this, you don't like music.
 
 

I saw Brian Wilson at the Kelvingrove Bandstand in 2017 and, while he’s clearly not in great health and being carried by the band, it was just great to hear these songs being played live, with him being there.
