i'm pretty sure i said marquee moon already buuut... MARQUEE MOTHERFUCKIN' MOON

^ Word. Marquee Moon deserves multiple mentions. Beyond perfect.

I'd say Rodan's Toothfairy Retribution Manifesto, that last song on Rusty. My favorite tempo shift in music.

^^THIS

and why not...

Lou Reed: Perfect Day

^ pshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Lou reed by himself sucks.

Yeah, I would have to agree with that.

Warren Zevon-Poor, Poor Pitiful Me
Van Morrison-Linden Arden Stole the Highlights

violent femmes - good feeling
VU - ocean

fuuuuuuck you ;p

go listen to street hassle

I hope these have been named already: Search and Destroy and I wanna be your dog are both once-in-a-lifetime perfect rock songs.you can't duplicate that kind of raw lust and energy

speaking of the stooges, gimme danger

lies!

technically it's only one lie... but it counts as 20

Seriously! You cannot tell me transformer does not sound like Watered Down VU. Berlin is alright though



but it's all about this song. it's better than most songs Lou wrote by himself

^ you forgot Endless Nameless.

I forgot a lot of stuff. I was going to list some classical and avant garde electronic compositions as well (John Chowing's "Stria" and Jean-Claude Risset's "Mutations") but I got bored.

Rolo Tomassi: "Kasia"

Rhapsody in Blue.

It's on repeat lately.

pretty much every slowdive song is perfect when I'm depressed.

what a load of fucking shit thread. there are no perfect songs just idiots making lists of songs they like because they can picture themselves in the place of thurston or kurt cobain or some asshole and their idea of music is some sort of dreamy transubstansiation with a rockstars image on a stage to remove them from the misery of their own shitty life were everyone thinks they are a douche and they try to enjoy sonic youth mp3s like its a fucking relegion that will lead them to the facist rock dream promised land not a horrible chore.

OH WAIT NO IM SORRY.

PAVEMENT - STEREO MAN THIS SON GIS SO PERFEC ITS LIKE LIKE THE PREFECTIFIDOSDFNSDAF IWENSJEFKAN WESJ;WEFSKJL;ASEFJIM WAIPOR132ERWDFS

Did you start pissing in your dad's mug like KIS?

or maybe people just genuinely enjoy music

then they are even more boring than you are.

I'm pretty certain this little rant has absolutely nothing to do with the concept behind this thread. If you can't absorb music without attempting to vicariously place yourself in the place of the musician, or even assume that everyone else does the same, than that's pretty sad, obscure and I feel bad for you.

You've taken the confession of others concepts of a perfectly contrived song (as a craft or artform) and limited it to their association with the 'rock-star' status of the musicians..... confussed?

omg IT WAS A JOKE but i am so glad i said it now to be graced with all this illuminating whinging. get over it maybe? or you could bore me to death continuing to discuss the semantic details of my TAKE THE PISS posts and relating them to failings in my life and personality and inability to understand the rule never ever dare to comment negatively about generic syg post no. 902371492 "I LOVE SONIC YOUTH I LOVE NIRVANA".

im sorry i didnt think it is the greatest thing to ever happen in the world. i am so very terribly sorry. i am crying tears of liquid boredom in shame of not getting the concept beyond the "post whatever song you decide is perfect" thread". please accept my utter submission to your many points, i have been bested and hang my head in utter shame. even this sarcasm is boring. please respond in non boring attacks that show me up and make me look stupid i await in BOREDOM.

come on guys why cant you embrace the philosophy of board as dicktopia? is it because you are too bored listening to so much beatles the crappiness has turned you into an angry husk of a person?

^ [yawn]

I'm bored, I'm boring, I'm angry at the world, blabbity blabbity....

accusing someone of being angry at the world is just an empty argument. you start talking all this stuck up shit about how i cant listen to music correctly and you feel sorry for me after a joke post and then when i to salvage a joke out of it you post a yawn. thanks for that.

This thread is way too subjective to be taken seriously.

hi! welcome to the non-sonic sounds forum; a place to have wank, post a list and take yr own personal tastes in music far too seriously, because, you know, it's a perfect reflection of WHO YOU ARE.

that's why there are XXX pages of "perfect" songs. LISTS of "perfect" songs.

don't get me wrong, I have more than one favorite song (at any given time), but calling any of them "perfect" just feels like starfuckery.
