Its easy to contribute but I dont think its possible to name a 'greatest song of all time' as there are so many different styles of music & it really is just down to personal taste at the end of the day.
But If I had to pick one it would most definitely be this, just for the simple fact it is the only song I listen to at least once a day without fail.


EDIT: I hadnt noticed up till now but in the videos for the song they cut like half the intro, half on Santana's leadwork, half of the flute parts..
Heres a link where you can listen to the song in full and no bullshiit editing. http://listen.grooveshark.com/#/song/Healer/3818843

Well, although the lack of jazz is disheartening, I'm not going to bash the list. People who don't know anything about what constitutes decent music have to start somewhere after all.

You're sensitive enough not to bash an inanimate non-sentient list, but feel it's ok to count Ric in as one of those "People who don't know anything about what constitutes decent music" ...oh the irony

Ironic how? Putting aside whether or not he copied+pasted that list (though it seems likely), I don't think his taste is that varied because I don't even see Miles Davis there. I mean, if even Rolling Stone have the decency to put Miles Davis on a top songs list, what does that say for this guy?

Cause, sorry to say, regardless of your particular preferences in music if you don't like even some jazz music then you are effectively cutting yourself off from, including groups influenced by the genre from the late 1800's to 2009, a lot of incredible stuff that encompasses a great majority of both non-experimental and experimental music that's been done in the last eighty years. The only things that goes back further and have more reach are classical and world music.

Your right about Jazz, but to be honest I dont think there are a lot of Jazz heads on here. This is one of my favourite Jazz albums.
The beats on this album are f*cking infectious!




Happy now?
