A perfect song? What are your choices?


Can there be such a thing as a perfect song? I have a suggestion, what are yours? Here is a thought...

Gimme Shelter - Rolling Stones

Stella Blue - Grateful Dead

Dear Prudence - The Beatles

Midnight Rider - Allman Brothers

Angel From Montgomery - John Prine & Bonnie Raitt

Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen

East West - Butterfield Blues Band

Mr. Tambourine Man - Bob Dylan

Sweet Jane - Velvet Underground

Hickory Wind - Gram Parsons

I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry - Hank Williams

Car Wheels On A Gravel Road - Lucinda Williams

 

an unsurpassed performer - a nightingale eternally drunk with love )) .and when there are several of them - this is a fabulous chorus! ... in the forest you can hear very far

 

Van Morrison has certainly written some sublime songs but which one comes closest to perfection?

A very difficult question when you consider he wrote Brown Eyed Girl, Into the Mystic, And it Stoned Me etc.

If I had to choose one, it might as well be this one.

A perfect song from a perfect album.
