Still i'm sad , rainbow on stage version f'in epic. It's got everything, searing guitar, operatic vocals even neo classical wankery on keys in the middle, i wonder how many of you have listened to it ?

The Dance by The Music

Perfect guitar fx, bass line and drums

Jackie Wilson - Higher and Higher

equalsql

The Beach Boys - Good Vibrations

An absolute perfect musical moment of pure genius.

you guys can all stop posting other nonsense. The answer is Born To Run. 

That's not even Springsteen's greatest song! Or even the best song on Born To Run...

It is good, but Thunder Road, Racing In The Streets, The River, Atlantic City and Born In The USA are all better just for starters .

Yeah, maybe. But you play Born To Run on a bright spring day driving on a good road in a small sports car and there is nothing better in the whole world. 

Alternatively, I'd happily go for Soul Man, Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay, Ain't No Mountain High Enough, My Girl...

*Definitely* his rendition. Although which one, given how many verses he's apparently written for it, is open to question.

Be My Baby gets a mention above but is its greatness due to the song itself or the production/performance? 

It's just a rumour that was spread around town.

Today, my nomination could begin with a snare drum crack, followed by the words, "Once upon a time, you dressed so fine."

Could be The Last Bullet In The Gun by Terry & Gerry … or Boredom by Buzzcocks … or Atmosphere by Joy Division … or Stop Your Sobbing … or something by Talking Heads
