You've embarrassed yourself, your family and your nation as a whole.
Now go away and think about it for a while...!!!
Chris ;)
Okay, I have...and I still think it's a top-notch tune :p
In order to get back in my nation's good graces, I also love "The Weight" by the Band 
Now I would've thought you'd like The Night They Drove old Dixie Down, myself. Prolly the best thing they ever did, don't you think?
At least two Smiths songs stand out as perfect for me: There is a Light That Never Goes Out, and Bigmouth Strikes Again.
Don't forget "What Difference Does It make?" Angst at its finest
"Little wing" Stevie Ray vaughan "As" Stevie Wonder "Where The Streets Have No Name" U2 "Love And Happiness" or "Simply Beautiful" Al Green "Rockin' in The Free World" Neil Young "Chain of Fools" Aretha Franklin "Fast Car" Tracy Chapman "Ice Cream" Sarah McLachlan "Only a Memory" The Smithereens "Institutionalized" Suicidal Tendencies "Mountain Song" Jane's Addiction "Laid" James
and tons more!!!!!

I like it, yes, but I think the Weight just gets to me more. Those first opening chords pull you in, nevermind the fact that it's now used for commercials. If I had to pick one Band song, it would actually be something like "Ophelia" or "It Makes No Difference" (which is their most beautiful song).
God Only Knows,
"Caroline No" or "Good Vibrations" Try the version on Brian Wilson's "Smile-just super neat!!!

That's what The Night They Drove old Dixie Down does to me.
Depeche Mode - But Not Tonight (it's a shame it's on the soundtrack to such a mediocre movie.) Smashing Pumpkins - Mayonaise (electric versions only) The Cure - Disintegration.

I completely agree about 'God Only Knows'. When I think about the perfect song this is the one that comes to mind.
Complete perfection :)

No problem mate, The cocteaus are pure class. I missed one song off my list, Primal scream's "Velocity girl", one of the most perfect little indie pop songs ever 
'Visions Of Johanna' by Bob Dylan, 'Forever' by The Beach Boys, 'Waterloo Sunset' by The Kinks, 'Goddess On A Hiway' by Mercury Rev, 'Something' by The Beatles, 'You Set The Scene' by Love, 'The Wind Cries Mary' by Jimi Hendrix, 'Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay' by Otis Redding, 'Eden' by Talk Talk, 'Waiting In Vain' by Bob Marley, 'Northern Sky' by Nick Drake........
'Marquee Moon' probably is the longest perfect song......
