    It has to be I will always love you by Whitney Houston.

    I know it is a great song for it's artistry, but on an emotional level I just can't fucking stand it. To me love is and always will be a very intimate subject between two people and I don't find feeling heartbroken something to scream my lungs out about.

    Listen to Dolly's original version then, since it was based on an actual (non-romantic) breakup. It was her attempt to tell her former performing partner that she loved him but it was time for her to spread her wings and move on. Whitneys version is, for want of a better word, bigger and somewhat over-the-top.

    it's the jam at the end of the song, like with stairway to heaven by led zeppelin and november rain by guns n roses. you listen for 5 minutes for 45 seconds to 1 minute of musical bliss.

    stairway to heaven is my answer to the OT

    that song is either about staley or cantrell's father who was in Vietnam. the story goes that the man would be the first one awake every morning and the last to bed. that added a lot of weight to the song when i found that info out.

    Fun fact... most of her songs are her singing the same note over and over again!

    I'd vote for John Lennon - Imagine, hate that song and the hypocrite singing it.

    I don't really listen to Western pop music.

    As far as anime songs go, A Cruel Angel's Thesis (aka the Evangelion OP) is overhyped. It's a good song, but it's not best thing ever. I attribute it's popularity due to the fact the NGE was one of the few anime to come over to the West in the 90s, at a time when anime was mostly underground in the West. The show left a very noticeable impact upon Japanese pop culture ("deconstruction", traumatic character backstories, and bizzare cosmic horror story plots became popular, obviously inspiring FFVII and Xenogears). You have to remember that animation is viewed as "for kids" in the West, so the small anime fandom used NGE to seek validation. The anime fandom was very insular during the 90s and 2000s, very much an echochamber, so NGE was constantly hailed as the end-all be all. Now that anime has become mainstream since 2012 with the rise of Crunchyroll steaming and the hit shows Fate/Zero, Sword Art Online, and Attack on Titan, NGE isn't really brought up anymore. Unless you're on r/Anime, which by it's nature of being a subreddit with an upvote system, means that it's an echochamber and NGE is still overhyped there as the end-all-be-all.

    As a huge Queen fan I have to agree, there are a lot of deep cuts that did Bo Rhap before BoRhap was a thing. Brighton Rock, Great King Rat, the Prophet Song, hell even non deep cuts like Seven Seas of Rhye. Still love Bo Rhap though, but I do agree.

    See I don;t hate Billie Ellish, I just hate the medias over fixation with her. There were people doing what she was before she came along yet media found her and act like she is this only thing. Then again that's music media these days. Once again I don't hate Billie Ellish, she's fine.

    I'll stick to rock and metal for my choices, as pop / country genres simply have far too many to count.

    Van Halen - Jump. Easily the worst song on 1984, and probably worse than most of the Van Hagar tracks. Not sure why this one gets any attention, other than being cheesy as fuck.

    Pantera - Walk. One of the weakest songs they've ever written, and again, the worst track on the album it comes from. Not sure why this is the first thing that people think of when they think of this band.

    Metallica - Enter Sandman. Garbage track from a not-very-good album. Never understood the popularity of this one.

    That's always been music media. Indie isn't nearly as indie as people think.

    Probably queen - bohemian rhapsody.
    It's a good song but how people react and act about it is obnoxious as hell.

    Lmao, necro thread and saw I posted the same thing on page one. My opinion hasn't changed it seems. God, bohemian fans are atrocious...

    I've never understood the love "Rooster" gets, I think it's one of the worst songs on the album. I don't absolutely hate it (though I am thoroughly sick of it from being overplayed so much), but nearly any other track off of Dirt is superior.

    "Nothing Else Matters" would've been my pick off the black album.
