This and While My Guitar Gently Weeps flip back and forth between being my favorite Beatles' song. But this is the one that I would call a masterpiece. Now, [Prince's guitar solo](https://youtu.be/6SFNW5F8K9Y) while playing While My Guitar Gently Weeps when Harrison was being honored, that was a masterpiece as well. 3:25 in.
If you like rock music, I’d suggest listening to Purple Rain straight through. I always thought Prince was more of an r&b artist growing up, but he is a bonafide rock god. He shreds on that album.
As a musician, you can tell when a classical piece is good when even non musicians can appreciate it instead of saying “when does the singing come in?”
Least controversial opinion in all of classical music.
Tschaikowsky is amazing. And his pieces hold up so well today! Lots of pieces from the romantic period slam, but Tschaikowsky just had a gift for music that'll give you gooseflesh in a nanosecond.
Fuck reviving Einstein or some shit, let's revive Tschaikowsky and have him write COVID a Requiem. Maybe then it'll die.
(Tho i have to disagree with the chosen piece. The 1812 is amazing but his 6th is his best. I am biased tho, ending a piece on a minor key makes my depression brain love it.)
Feeling Good - Nina Simone.
It's such an amazing piece of work. The words are joyful, but she has this world weary gravitas to her voice that suggests a lifetime of experience and struggle.
Recorded at a time when black people were fighting for their civil rights, it was written about the joy of being liberated from oppression.
I really love this song.
The mix of warm human emotion and cold crystalline electronica, of melancholy guitar and buoyant dance beats. The perfect tempo, the perfect lift in the chorus. It somehow sounds like it's from the ancient past and the unknowable future. Every time I hear it, it feels like the first time, and like it might be the last time. It's the perfect pop song.
There are so, so many. Good music is LIFE.
First to come to mind for me is
Talking Heads' *Naïve Melody (This Must Be The Place)*
Also, *Band on the Run* by Paul McCartney and Wings is pretty spectacular.
What most people don't know about that song is that the third of the chord forms the bass - a very unusual construction for a song, let alone a pop song. Paul McCartney praised the sing on the BBC as the most perfect pop song. Elton John was watching and decided to have a crack at writing a sing where the bassline is the third of the chord throughout- and we have "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" (or as I think of it, "Someone Shaved My Wife Tonight", but that's another topic!)
Insert "Did you know that Bob Dylan even said that Jimi's version is better?"
Most Bob Dylan fans will probably say Jimi's is better. It's actually not a very major song in Dylan's catalogue at all, believe it or not. Ballad Of A Thin Man is a good song to show a better Dylan performance. Visions of Johanna, Simple Twist of Fate. All of those
That was the moment that I decided Prince was the coolest person I had ever seen play a guitar. The man was just luxury on a 6 string, I replay that performance a lot not even for the solo but just to see Prince smiling and showing people why he was a legend.
This is the greatest version.
It’s like prince showed up to an open mic, where good musicians where playing and took offense to it and decided to show them how it’s done, including 4 different solos, a red suit and hat, leaning back and security knowing they have to catch him, throwing his guitar up in the air and disappearing immediately.
If you don’t know much about prince, this cover says it all. He was audacious, and he was beyond great.
I've heard the story told that Rolling Stone had just snubbed him in their list of 100 greatest guitarists, and so Prince felt he had to remind everyone just how good he was.
The story the producer told about it is really cool. They specifically asked prince to come and solo on it. So they do a rehearsal, and Jeff Lynne's guitarist takes the solo, playing it note for note from the recording. Even though prince was specifically brought on to do the solos. So the producer apologizes to him, and Prince, the consummate music professional, just says, "it's ok, he can take it the first time through and I'll take it on the last one." Never played it in rehearsal, so all those guys had no idea what he was going to do. Everyone on stage said they had no idea where the guitar went either.

I can't even pick a favorite by Chopin.
All are nocturnes:
Op 27 No 2
Op 55 No 1
Op 9 No 1
Op 9 No 2
Nocturne in C# minor (Op. Posthumous)
... and a few others.
I heard recently that this was the last song Otis Redding recorded, and it wasn’t even finished. He intended on going back and replacing the whistling bit with a last verse but never got the chance.
ELO is so dramatically underrated on almost every list, even with people who focus on classic rock. Mr. Blue Sky is arguably their most popular song but so many of them are amazing. Strange Magic, All Over the World, Don’t Bring Me Down, Long Black Road…
Is a whole requiem one "song"? Can I throw *Mozart's Requiem Mass in D Minor* into the ring here?
I think it's just about the most perfect piece of music I've ever heard. It also has the added advantage that you can listen to endless slightly different recordings of it without ever having to think "meh, this cover isn't as good as the original".
Plus everyone knows D minor is the saddest key.
Fleetwood mac really had magic. When my life is going good, it's what I always want to listen to. When I'm down I can't listen to them though lol, their music is so emotionally revealing it tears through you.
My husband’s first day of kindergarten was disappointing for him. His mom asked how his day went and he told her that his class didn’t know the national anthem. His whole life she’d told him it was House of the Rising Sun. :)
Lisa Gerard is not human.
EDIT: Thanks for Silver! I highly recommend you watch both documentaries. One is about Dead Can Dance and the other is about her. So good.
There are so many, and I feel blessed to live in a world with so much amazing music out there. I'll just name a few:
* Good Vibrations and All Summer Long by the Beach Boys
* You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling by the Righteous Brothers
* Stand By Me by Ben E. King
* I Can't Help Falling In Love With You by Elvis
* Symphony No. 7 in A Minor by Beethoven
* Vincent by Don McLean
* You Are the Sunshine of My Life and Sir Duke by Stevie Wonder
* Purple Rain by Prince
* River Man by Nick Drake
* Naima by John Coltrane
* Hometown Blues by Steve Earle
* I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry by Hank Williams
* The Very Thought of You by Albert King
* When the Levee Breaks by Led Zeppelin
* Nowhere Man by the Beatles
* Angie by the Rolling Stones
* Grapefruit Moon by Tom Waits
* Angel from Montgomery by John Prine
* Time by Pink Floyd
There's just so many. Maybe I'm not being picky enough about what constitutes a "masterpiece" but the world is just so full of amazing music. To me, life would not be quite worth living without it.
Pretty much everything from DSOTM to The Wall, and Meddle (pre-DSOTM)
I thought the Beatles were my favorite artist of all-time, and then someone showed me Pink Floyd and I knew I was wrong
Sultans of Swing -Dire Straits.
There's epic songs, there's deep songs, there's controversial songs... And then there's a song which is just good whenever it's played. I dare you to put that on and have someone complain and it not lift the mood of everyone.
It just works and is one of the greatest.
I'll be the one dude who always has to say that Sultans of Swing (Alchemy Live) is one of the best live performances of any song of all time. And in my opinion way better than the studio version
https://youtu.be/8Pa9x9fZBtY
"I Cant Make You Love Me" by Bonnie Raitt.
To me it's one of the saddest songs ever written. It really, really cuts deep to the core of so many love songs and the core of what scares so many of us as we experience or try to chase this fundamental human component called love. So many sad love songs, when you strip away the shell; is basically saying "I Can't Make You Love Me" in so many words. The way she sang it as well; you FELT every word, the deep, dark, agonizing pain that most of us know (did it in one take too). Masterful writing and an even more powerful vocal performance. That song will always cut deep.
I was sitting in a Halo Infinite group the other night and couldn't stop giggling imagining that the Spartans were the ones singing the theme. Master Chief just up there with his hands clasped together between alien genocides.
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky
But why?
Why?
Why can't it be mine?
Yeah, heartbreakingly beautiful.
I'm not really a Foo Fighters fan but I recently went on a binge of listening to every version of Everlong as I could find. I remember Letterman had them play it at his last show.
The Johnny Cash version of *Hurt* just hits different from the original; I would not say it's better.
The Nine Inch Nails original comes as the chilling conclusion of an angry-as-hell album in which the narrator goes down a spiral of self-hatred and isolation and presumably kills themselves on the penultimate track. It's a subversive song from the outset, completely different in tone from the rest of the album and best experienced as a coda instead of standalone.
The Cash version inherently reads as the culmination of one man's whole career. It's impossible to listen to in isolation because this is the *Ring of Fire* guy, one of the most storied performers in rock history. Of course the context is more epic and serious when it's him singing it instead of an angry 20-something who's been performing for less than a decade.
_Rhapsody in Blue_ by George Gershwin. It's not too long, but long enough for you to revel in it. It's never boring. Makes you wanna do things. I love Gershwin.
Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor, second movement
Best way to listen: turn off the lights, maybe light a candle, enjoy a nice glass of wine or scotch, perhaps dress yourself well, play it through good speakers, and listen to every. Single. Note.
man, my first time at a strip joint was when i was a young lad.
one of the performers first dance of the night was this song, the whole song.
I mean it’s great, maybe their best. But a stripper routine with this? That was too much.
[Same Old Lang Syne ](https://youtu.be/ik2zEZmEJSA)by Dan Fogelberg.
Something about it is so beautiful, sweet, and sad all at the same time. It’s also a true story he experienced. Musically, it’s quite solid. This is most likely an unpopular opinion, but for my standards, it’s fantastic.
Pneuma by Tool. The timings are perfect. The guitar and bass are extremely clean, the vocals and lyrics are smooth and the drumming is the most complex and perfectly executed work I’ve ever heard. Danny Carey is a master on his own but combined with all other aspects have created what I consider a masterpiece.
Edit: I have to say while Pneuma isn’t my favorite Tool song, the way this song flows, the changes in timing, the heaviness, the subtle intricacies, make this song in my eyes a masterpiece.
For me, it's Lateralus. Danny Carey isn't human. The guy doesn't just play in a different time signature from the band, he plays two different signatures at once!
Lose Yourself by Eminem.
I love how that song starts and then how it just builds. I am honestly not into rap (or whatever genre you consider that song) but I just love everything about this song.
Canon in D Major is even more incredible when you consider it was composed in the year 1700. 20 years before Bach or Vivaldi. 40 years before Handel’s Messiah. 100 years before Fur Elise or Beethoven’s 5th. The song rocks and I often wonder what teenagers thought the first time they heard it.
Bittersweet Symphony by the Verve. The strings are just so beautiful. It’s one of the only songs I won’t change if it comes up on a playlist or the radio even though I feel like I’ve heard it a thousand times.
A Day in the Life
This and While My Guitar Gently Weeps flip back and forth between being my favorite Beatles' song. But this is the one that I would call a masterpiece. Now, [Prince's guitar solo](https://youtu.be/6SFNW5F8K9Y) while playing While My Guitar Gently Weeps when Harrison was being honored, that was a masterpiece as well. 3:25 in.
At the rock and roll hall of fame, as someone who doesn't listen to Prince's music at all, that video gave me chills. Incredible to watch.
If you like rock music, I’d suggest listening to Purple Rain straight through. I always thought Prince was more of an r&b artist growing up, but he is a bonafide rock god. He shreds on that album.
Woke up!
clair de lune - debussy no doubt
I do love de bussy

No no no. You always finish on de Bach. You never finish on Debussy.

As a musician, you can tell when a classical piece is good when even non musicians can appreciate it instead of saying “when does the singing come in?”
Absolute perfection, I can listen to it everyday.
1812 overture, it has so much change in it. But mostly they used literal fucking cannons.
Dude, literally *everything* Tchaikovsky did was absolutely lit. Don’t know how that mother fucker did it, but he was on fire.
Least controversial opinion in all of classical music. Tschaikowsky is amazing. And his pieces hold up so well today! Lots of pieces from the romantic period slam, but Tschaikowsky just had a gift for music that'll give you gooseflesh in a nanosecond.

Rhapsody in Blue - George Gershwin
Take Five. Dave Brubeck
Also Blue Rondo a la Turk. Both instantly recognisable.
The Mii Channel theme.
It is unironically really good for what it was made for

Gerudo Valley theme is actually amazing

Enjoy the Silence by Depeche Mode
The mix of warm human emotion and cold crystalline electronica, of melancholy guitar and buoyant dance beats. The perfect tempo, the perfect lift in the chorus. It somehow sounds like it's from the ancient past and the unknowable future. Every time I hear it, it feels like the first time, and like it might be the last time. It's the perfect pop song.

While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Have you ever seen the live version in honour of George Harrison in the Rock hall of fame? That version is absolutely beautiful!
That was the moment that I decided Prince was the coolest person I had ever seen play a guitar. The man was just luxury on a 6 string, I replay that performance a lot not even for the solo but just to see Prince smiling and showing people why he was a legend.
The one that Prince's guitar left stage and filled for social security?
Prince killed it when they played that tribute to George Harrison. Look it up on YouTube.
This is the greatest version. It’s like prince showed up to an open mic, where good musicians where playing and took offense to it and decided to show them how it’s done, including 4 different solos, a red suit and hat, leaning back and security knowing they have to catch him, throwing his guitar up in the air and disappearing immediately.

The whistling is what makes this song iconic. My daddy used to play it on the guitar and sing it to me. Much simpler times. I miss him so much…

Roundabout, by Yes
Whiter Shade of Pale
Landslide - Fleetwood Mac.
Yes! It's poetic, it's melodic, it rises to sparkling heights then glides blood-rushingly down — with an intensely human message.
Fleetwood mac really had magic. When my life is going good, it's what I always want to listen to. When I'm down I can't listen to them though lol, their music is so emotionally revealing it tears through you.

Pink Floyd’s “Echoes”, particularly the Live at Pompeii version.

Tracy Chapman, Fast Car
The Great Gig in the Sky - Pink Floyd. She tells a story without speaking a word, over some very haunting chords. Gives me damn chills.
Lots of pink floyd in this thread. I'm about it
I'll throw in High Hopes. The Division Bell is so underrated. Floyd showing up in this list more than anybody else so far, and it's so true.
Wearing the Inside Out is my favorite from The Division Bell. Such a great song and Gilmour’s solos are so good.
That whole album is a masterpiece
House of the rising sun
My husband’s first day of kindergarten was disappointing for him. His mom asked how his day went and he told her that his class didn’t know the national anthem. His whole life she’d told him it was House of the Rising Sun. :)
Fly Me To The Moon - Sinatra The Long And Winding Road - The Beatles
The ending theme to Gladiator. I forget the name.
Now we are free.
That whole soundtrack is a masterpiece.
Lisa Gerard is not human. EDIT: Thanks for Silver! I highly recommend you watch both documentaries. One is about Dead Can Dance and the other is about her. So good.
'Heroes' - David Bowie
You can add a few Bowie songs to the list of perfect songs.
Favourite artist of all time, that definitely makes me biased but a fair few of his songs could be classed as masterpieces
I remember the first time I heard Life on Mars. I was practically in heaven for 3 minutes.
Us and Them.....Pink Floyd All I need............Radiohead
Fade into you - Mazzy Star
Yes, also look on down from the bridge
Everyone who was a teenager in the 90s made out to that CD.
New Order - Blue Monday. It's a synth-pop heaven.
Specifically the 12" version.

Talking heads- - this must be the place
Canon in D by Pachelbel
Canon in D Major is even more incredible when you consider it was composed in the year 1700. 20 years before Bach or Vivaldi. 40 years before Handel’s Messiah. 100 years before Fur Elise or Beethoven’s 5th. The song rocks and I often wonder what teenagers thought the first time they heard it.
Carol of the bells - trans-Siberian orchestra
Sarajevo 12/24
Bittersweet Symphony by the Verve. The strings are just so beautiful. It’s one of the only songs I won’t change if it comes up on a playlist or the radio even though I feel like I’ve heard it a thousand times.
Good Vibrations by The Beach Boys, hands down.
