Best Answer

This could be a very debatable question, but should not become son on WikiAnswers. Answers vary because not everyone listens to the same music. The two most common songs listed as the best ever are Stairway to Heaven (Led Zepplin) and Bohemian Rhapsody (Queen).

However, in the Rolling Stone Magazine's Top 500 Songs Ever list (released in 2004), Bob Dylan's Like a Rolling Stone was the number one song. The list was very controversial though, considering Stairway to Heaven and Bohemian Rhapsody didn't crack the top thirty on the list.

By genre, the top songs would be as published:

Metal: One (Metallica)

Hard Rock: Stairway to Heaven (Led Zepplin)

Oldies: Good Vibrations (The Beach Boys)

Pop: Thriller (Michael Jackson)

Country: Honkey Tonk Ba Donkey Donk (Trace Adkins)

Rap: Lose Yourself (Eminem)

Hip-Hop: Hey Ya! (Outkast)

Adult Alternative: Viva la Vida (Coldplay)

Punk: Boulevard of Broken Dreams (Green Day)

Punk-Pop: Holiday (Green Day)

Soft Rock: Don't Stop Believin' (Journey)

Alternative Metal: Afterlife (Avenged Sevenfold)

Rock: Welcome to the Black Parade (My Chemical Romance)

Overall Best: Bohemian Rhapsody. Soley for the reason that it was pure genius for its time, the way the sections were broken down, the amount of practice and time put into recording it, and the theme of the storyline in the words.

Hope that answers the question.
