Perfect Songs

[phee]

We have been here before in past threads but it has been a little while...

Just wondering what people could list as "perfect songs" songs that are just so good, that nothing should/could be changed/remixed/covered... the songs are just perfect...

Here are some of mine...

Steve Roach - The Other side

Tangerine Dream - Pheadra

Tangerine Dream - Horizon

Vangelis - Dial Out

Vangelis - The Bounty

Frontline Assembly - Plasticity

Frontline Assembly - Biomechanic

Skinny Puppy - Inquisition

Skinny Puppy - Warlock

X-Marks The Pedwalk - W.I.T.I.A.K

Eisntruzende Neubauten - Haus De Luge

Depeche Mode - Something to Do

Front 242 - Mutilate

VNV Nation - Rubicon

Apoptygma Berzerk - Kathy's Song

Slayer - Desciple

Cradle of Filth - Midian

Tones On Tail - The Rain

To name a few

[The_Dark]

Pink Floyd - The whole Animals album

I agree with that...

[Fierce Critter]

Too many to mention.

But the one that immediately came to mind was "Day is Done" by Nick Drake. I'd love to do a cover myself, but I heard Norah Jones' cover and liked to have died. It was so unnecessary. And I like Norah Jones.

I know the feeling.... When I heard the "perfect" song "Sweet Dreams" by Eurythmics, fucked up and shat upon by Marylin Manson.... I wanted a gun...

[DarkVampire]

Metallica- Fade to Black

The music is perfect and goes with the lyrics perfectly.

Good choice

In recent years, I have begun to listen to the original song closer, and have found a new appreciation for it.

Good werk

[DarkVampire]

That's the only MM song I like. :fear

[JaneDead]

there really are toooo toooo many to name. i am NOT a big fan of cover songs or remakes or remixes of songs i already like. *rarely* it happens but it is so rare i can't even think of too many off hand that i have even liked. but that is not what this thread is about. so ... never mind... (but i will add i have liked some remixes that the cure have done of their own songs but they are the only band i can think of right now that has done this and i liked it.)

[SanctumNocturna]

Depeche Mode - Home (call it typical if you must)

Queen - Who Wants to Live Forever (I personally think that it's just ridiculous to TRY and duplicate anything by Freddie Mercury...but hey, this one in particular...and yes, I'm aware of it's non-gothiness)

Lacuna Coil - Unspoken, the Acoustic Version (off the B-Side of Comalies)

The Frames DC - Your Face (I think it's pretty anyway)

Peter Murphy - A Strange Kind of Love

Faith and the Muse - Sparks

Within Temptation - Mother Earth, Caged, Candles, and Pale (reality, almost anything LIVE by Within Temptation is just phenomenal)

My gawfff points have probably gone down a bit...but whatever. I think it'd be a lot harder to do something clever, creative, let alone GOOD with a lot of classic rock stuff. Then again, I've been surprised many a time...and I'm willing to give anything a try at least once...

Well...most anything...

[Blackmail]

throwing muses - not too soon

every chord progression in this song is great
