Learning Thru Not Singing
I was trying to come up with my personal list of Top 10 Best Songs Ever. And you know… I failed! A lot of names, melodies, the lyrics… What are the criteria that should be taken into consideration when choosing the best song?
Pondering over it for a while I appealed to Google’s help. And it did show some patience and interest in my request. The usual 100500 links totally dazzled me. I looked through a few pages and got stunned. None of the charts were the same. In some of them I could find same names and same songs, in others – same names and different songs. Some of them appeared to be mysterious - the names I’ve never heard, the music I’ve never listened to.
As a result I decided to gather the in-my-humble-opinion-best of the best list according to my personal preferences. Here goes the most biased best baker’s dozen of songs ever:
1. Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin
2. Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
3. Bohemian Rhapsody – Queen
4. Hey Jude - The Beatles
5. What a Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong
6. Imagine - John Lennon
7. One – Metallica
8. Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door – Bob Dylan
9. The Winner Takes It All – ABBA
10. My Way - Frank Sinatra
11. I Just Want You - Ozzy Osbourne
12. Sweet Child of Mine – Guns’n’Roses
13. If Today Was Your Last Day - Nickelback
