JesperL: what's a perfect song

JesperL 10.25.23	uh yeah lmk i guess? just been thinking about this a bunch
pizzamachine 10.25.23	Rectifier by Ra. It does what it needs to do, it is catchy, it sounds good, it doesn’t overstay its welcome or add too much.
JohnnyoftheWell 10.25.23	mbv - she found now is the perfect shoegaze song
Havey 10.25.23	gorguts - from wisdom to hate: the perfect dm song joey beltram - the start it up: the perfect hype track twilight force - sunlight knight: the perfect ryus/potsy ragebait
JesperL 10.25.23	interesting spelling of 'to here knows when' but yes agreed
mkmusic1995 10.25.23	Limelight- Rush A perfect rock song. Great riffs, great drums, nice clean melodies and soundscapes. The production on that whole record is immaculate as well; everything is so clear and distinct. Of course, there are so many perfect songs but this one came to mind immediately.
CamiloG 10.25.23	Talk Talk - The Rainbow, one of the songs that meant a musical awakening for me and probably one of the greatest openers of all time
el_newg 10.25.23	yeh I like to think about this, songs that just epitomise the style. Slayer - Angel of Death for thrash metal imo
YoYoMancuso 10.25.23	michael jackson - thriller
YoYoMancuso 10.25.23	also based Johnny comment
JohnnyoftheWell 10.25.23	thriller [321] "interesting spelling of 'to here knows when' but yes agreed" this comment is most of your problems :[
DadKungFu 10.25.23	Ichiko Aoba - いきのこり●ぼくら
mryrtmrnfoxxxy 10.25.23	Cows - Chow from daddy has a tail is a perfect song
SomeCallMeTim 10.25.23	So many times I've said a song is perfect of it's my favorite song. I've made a playlist of songs I consider meeting this criteria for me and they are all wildly different in mixing, style, subject matter, etc. They are mostly "popular music" choices from things like Boards of Canada to Godflesh to Billy Strings, no classical or jazz. Still interesting. just a few I probably consider absolute fav or perfect: Dinosaur Jr. - Ocean in the Way, probably my favorite alternative rock song, very emeotional in the lyrics, voice and guitar The Dismemberment Plan - Ellen and Ben, I feel like some of the more quality pop-punk acts took a lot away from this band Yo La Tengo - Big Day Coming, very shoegazy and unless someone wants to correct me, I don't hear any percussion in the song whatsoever. Really takes you on a journey and paints a picture of a young band Ween - Mourning Glory, I.. simply didn't know these sounds were possible Built to Spill - Randy Described Eternity, I cry everTim
MoM 10.25.23	Madonna - Into the Groove None more 80s
el_newg 10.25.23	Take on Me honestly is like perfect 80s synthpop
budgie 10.25.23	IF THERE IS SOMETHING roxy music
MoM 10.25.23	@Newg fantastic song! It and it’s glorious music video are perfect
Flashmobba 10.25.23	nightcrawler by travvy scott is the perfect trap song, perfectly synthesizes the high of being lit at the club w your homies n bitches
robertsona 10.25.23	The rah band - Sam the samba man
Galbador 10.25.23	Death - voice of soul
budgie 10.25.23	i remember widowspeak bein kinda boring dreampop need to recheck
JesperL 10.25.23	widowspeak rly knocked it out of the park with plum (and mostly the t/t) come to think of it: fazerdaze - last to sleep is a perf dreambedroompop song
budgie 10.25.23	oh man id vote for little uneasy!
TheManMachine 10.25.23	one sweet day
MeatSalad 10.25.23	Cannibal Ox - Iron Galaxy is a perfect slice of early 2000's underground hip-hop Tears for Fears - Everybody Wants to Rule the World is the absolute peak of 80's-isms/cheese
SomeCallMeTim 10.25.23	idk why I didn't add it to my comment but Talk Talk - I Believe In You is my favorite song OAT. The imperfections are perfect, the simplicity once broken down is more complex than first listen, the choir fits in perfectly. not a single flaw in that song
Trifolium 10.25.23	Dolly Parton - Jolene ABBA - Dancing Queen Daft Punk - One More Time Also agreeeeeeeeeeeed with budgie!
porcupinetheater 10.25.23	The Drones - Shark Fin Blues Perfect building narrative blues-inflected rock song. Bands have been trying to capture this particular sound since the late 60s, nobody did it until a lil Australian garage outfit after the turn of the millennium.
FrozenFirebug 10.25.23	Limp Bizkit - My Way Passenger of Shit - stapletapewormsonmypenis
Pangea 10.25.23	trif all of your pics 💖 many songs i would consider perfect tbh
Trifolium 10.25.23	Hihihihihi Pan 🤭💕
MoM 10.25.23	Toni Braxton - Un-Break My Heart
iHaveSex 10.25.23	Tom Sawyer by Rush
EoinCofa 10.25.23	Iron And Wine - Biting Your Tail (performed live with full band) is the best song ever; it literally has no rivals
Hendoi 10.25.23	Prefab Sprout - Looking for Atlantis
Zac124 10.25.23	Mr. Bungle - Pink Cigarette The Dillinger Escape Plan - Crossburner In Flames - Jester Script Transfigured The Callous Daoboys - Star Baby There are loads more but these are the songs I consider THE favourites. Just added Star Baby to it. Should have been there since it came out tbh.
Avagantamos 10.25.23	kero kero bonito - picture this: perfect pop song
protokute 10.25.23	the ones that moves you
neekafat 10.25.23	just checked that Pin a Star song holy hell what a bop
evilford 10.25.23	What havey said
Deez 10.25.23	Kayo dot - The Manifold curiosity
alamo 10.25.23	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDErQ1KTzaI
Kompys2000 10.25.23	Everything Stays by Rebecca Sugar the most perfect combination of lyric and melody I've ever heard
efp123 10.25.23	This Will Destroy You - Happiness has one of the best post rock crescendos ever written in my opinion, even if you weren’t asking for something from that specific genre
anode 10.26.23	a perfect song is one that resonates with me on every level and is flawless in songwriting, production and lyrics off the top of my head: eluvium - indoor swimming at the space station have a nice life - telephony pig destroyer - pornographic memory
MO 10.26.23	from wisdom to hate
nol 10.26.23	Nat King Cole - Orange Colored Sky
nol 10.26.23	i can’t think of another song that doesn’t waste a single note or word. Just perfection.
nol 10.26.23	“Wow, I thought love was much softer than that, what a most disturbing sound…”
nol 10.26.23	Jolene is a great pick too
DocSportello 10.26.23	new order - bizarre love triangle kyu sakamoto - Ue o Muite Arukō/Sukiyaki four tet -Anna painting Alphaville -forever young robbie basho -Rocky Mountain raga (live)
onionbubs 10.26.23	ive always loved the way after the party flips its chord progression in its two choruses with one being major and the other being minor, and then also have the playing style in the drums shift to reflect that change. makes a huge difference and its part of why thats their best song
Nomos2 10.26.23	One comes to mind because he REALLY deserves the views/listens but is unknown outside of my local area. His album "Solace" is just about perfect front-back for me. Imagine IDM/Drum & Bass, but sung front to back with melodic ethereal vocals that shine with tons of little punctuating gem moments in each song (sometimes then padded by hypnotizing instrumental stretches). Structurally, it's composed more like a modern prog metal album. He's a friend of a friend who worked on every single Mass Effect game and Anthem before jumping ship from BioWare. You can really hear his audio engineering skills in full effect here. It sounds like a dense beast in headphones. It's euphoric front to back, and I normally couldn't stomach anything in the genre. But one track is a favorite of mine because the "chorus" just sounds like Anberlin and that makes me happy. Comaduster - Selfsimilar (and if that floats your boat, just do an album playthrough, it all flows together wonderfully.)
outreblah 10.26.23	Comet Song – Dethklok
Faraudo 10.26.23	I would say that Deadman by Karnivool is the perfect prog metal song
Gavierra 10.26.23	Motorpsycho ~ the Golden Core Jimmy Eat World ~ Disintegration Prince ~ Purple Rain Thrice ~ Daedalus The Tea Party ~ The Master & Margarita The Smashing Pumpkins ~ Mayonaise Nine Inch Nails ~ Leaving Hope My Bloody Valentine ~ Sometimes Just to name a few that always hit me right in the feels
Gmork89 10.26.23	Sun Kil Moon, Carry Me Ohio
