I heard a remake of that just this weekend by - of all people - Willie Nelson and Joni Mitchell!! Good song.
Hmmm… This was supposed to be about Walter Brennan’s “Cool Water”.
This is an easy one -
My Funny Valentine, by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart, as sung by Ella Fitzgerald. All other pop music will fade into obscurity, but this song will always be perfect.
Susan by Aimee Mann.
Megalomaniac by KMFDM.
Yes, I have varied tastes.
Mad Man Moon by Genesis (from A trick of the tail). See also http:/www.geocities.com/hennieschaper.
I agree that My Funny Valentine is the only perfect song, but Mono’s Life in Mono comes pretty darn close.
I spy a MARILLION fan!
I liked side one of Misplaced Childhood, which was let go as several tracks, but all together some 22 minutes long. Great ‘song’. Never mind that I watched them open for RUSH circa 1988.
I think it would have to be Julianne by Ben Folds Five. But that’s subject to change any time.
“Freedom” by Melissa Ferrick or maybe “Dilate” by Ani Difranco. What can i say? I just like to girls who play guitars

You may now spy a fan of BOTH these bands. 
The missus says “California Dreaming” by the Mommas And The Poppas, and her sister, Edie, says “Here, There, and Everywhere” by the Beatles.
Getting Away With It (All messed up) by James.
I like it now, but twenty-five years ago I would have been obsessed.
Before Dishonor by Hatebreed.
Well, I’ve gotta second the OP on “Interstate Love Song”. That whole album was un-fargling-believable.
Currently, I’m constantly singing couple of songs - Semisonic’s “She’s Got My Number” and Doyle Bramhall II & Smokestack’s “Green Light Girl”, a real rocker. And I really like, as GuanoLad mentioned, “Clint Eastwood”…that damn song sticks in your head like a burr.
“Knock on Wood” by Eddie Floyd. The ultimate all-time Memphis soul.
If I get to pick 2 or more, I’d throw in The Who “Pinball Wizard”, The Beatles “Dear Prudence”, Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels “Devil With a Blue Dress”, and Led Zep “Fool in the Rain” (and Stairway…gotta have Stairway…and maybe Kashmir…)
“Kangaroo” by Big Star.
Though lately “Kinky Boots” by the Irish Brigade is giving it a run for its money …
“Path of Thorns” by Sarah MacLachlan
Runners up…
“One” by U2, “Nautical Disaster” by The Tragically Hip, “Stand by Me” by Ben E. King, “Lightning Crashes” by Live, “Fast Car” by Tracy Chapman
All songs that affect me emotionally.
“One”, by Metallica, on the “…And Justice For All” album.
Positively epic. Hetfield is God.
it’s a tossup between “Land of Hope and Dreams” by Bruce Sprinsteen, and for some reason “September Gurls” by Big Star has some resonance for me.
