This isn't the best song in in the world, but it's a tribute:

Across the Borderline - Ry Cooder from the 'Get Rhythm' album,
not to be confused by 'Borderline' from his album of the same name.

I love all different music but this is probably the hardest question you could ever do someone as I find the “best” thing isn’t always the actual best but you relate it to a moment which makes it the best.

For me it has to be from a good few years ago now whilst on a dance floor under the influence and this “CHOOON” got played - the moment was the best for a song and it always sticks in my memory. It isn’t the “best song ever” but the moment was perfect imo.

If you like that, you may like this too. Certainly a blast from the past.

Can't be answered unless you've only ever heard two songs, but something about I Spy by Pulp does it for me big time.

I'd love to say I'd not heard of some of these, but all of these look strangely very familiar

Anyhow, there's lots I could vote for here. Today I'll go for these but it might be completely different tomorrow.
Perfect water by blue oyster cult
Red tide by rush
The dead man's dream by the church
Of course, to sing/play produces a different list completely. In my former life I particularly liked lots of stuff by Herbert Howells, Britten and (more embarrassingly as its really not great musically but was great fun) Blair in A.

That's the one with the bluey/grey /brown cover with trees and stuff,?
Remember someone borrowing that and it never came home.
I liked a lot of old Genesis.
Lamb Lies Down was my favourite.

Steve Hackett is doing the whole album, including (of course) his iconic solo from Firth of Fifth.

Just a pity Gabriel won't be singing.
