Dude! How can you hate the Eagles? I mean, I get it if you don't like that style of music, but man you went all caps on me. LOL

To second what you were saying about Hotel California being poetry. The same can be said of the song I posted, Change Gonna Come. If you strip away the literal music from it, and are just left with the lyrics to speak, it's one of the truest and most heartfelt things you'll ever hear. It is poetry. So I completely agree.

YouTube - The Eagles - Hotel California - Original

My all time favorite drunken karaoke song.

My nomination....

YouTube - Can't You Hear Me Knockin'

Fact I like about the song......Mick Taylor, 1979: "Can't You Hear Me Knocking is one of my favorites. (The jam at the end) just happened by accident; that was never planned. Towards the end of the song I just felt like carrying on playing. Everybody was putting their instruments down, but the tape was still rolling and it sounded good, so everybody quickly picked up their instruments again and carried on playing. It just happened, and it was a one-take thing. A lot of people seem to really like that part."

There's no way I could ever put the label "best song ever" on any one song, but right off the top of my head, here are a few of my favorites...

YouTube - Boston-Hitch A Ride [Boston]

YouTube - Bob Seger - Against the Wind

YouTube - Jackson Browne 1977 Running on Empty

YouTube - "Even The Losers" - Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - DAMN THE TORPEDOES

I wanted to include Domino by Van Morrison but couldn't find a version that gave it justice...also, here's one of my favorites that a lot of you guys should be familiar with...

YouTube - LeRoux - Midnight Special - New Orleans Ladies - Louisiana Music Hall Of Fame
