Just for grins, name some songs that you feel are "perfectly" written; e.g., songs that, in your opinion, couldn't possibly be improved. I know, this is incredibly subjective and opinions probably won't align, but I thought it might be fun to discuss. It's also likely that a lot of the songs mentioned will be older - songs that stand the test of time tend to get more respect and people are less willing to criticize them (they are old and comfortable for a reason). But, we'll see...

I'll start with a few:

Stairway To Heaven (Led Zeppelin)
Funeral For a Friend / Love Lies Bleeding (Elton John/Bernie Taupin)
Hey Jude (The Beatles)
Gravity (John Mayer) Yeah - I said it :lol: :LOL:
 
Hotel California
Comfortably Numb
Back in Black

There's many

Any Blind Melon (WITH SHANNON HOON) <except John Sinclair, just don't like the beginning of that song>
 
Lot's of good picks so far...Stairway, Hotel CA, and American Pie are the first ones that popped into my head.

I'm all over the place here, but I'll add:

Don't Fear the Reaper - BOC (or does it need more cowbell?)
Come Sail Away - Styx
I've Got a Name - Jim Croce
Cat's in the Cradle - Harry Chapin
Purple Rain - Prince
Smoke on the Water - Deep Purple
Hall & Oates - Sara Smile
Fade to Black - Metallica
 
Lots of great choices so far. :thumbsup: Keep them coming...

Making a mental list to (re)listen to the ones I haven't heard in a while...
