These are the first few that come to mind.

This first one is from my favorite band of all time. This song didn't really click with me until i was older. The whole album is balls to the wall industrialish technical death metal, and then at the very end you get... this. A 9 minute lullaby that is the musical equivalent of drifting off into the expanse of space while warm morphine courses through your body.

I was a punk cringelord at one point in my life, let's not delve too deep into that. This song is simple, aggressive, sardonic, and makes me wanna fight. Simple as.

HUM has the warmest, crunchiest guitar tones. Love this band, and they deserve alot more recognition than as a one hit wonder for "Stars".


This one is just the drummer in me coming out. Danny Carey is a god, and this is one of his best creations.

What songs do you feel are utterly perfect in its craftsmanship?

MF DOOM's entire rap discography is lyrical masterwork, banger after banger. All Outta Ale is probably my favorite.

ALL CAPS published under his alternate stage name "Madvillain" is fantastic too.

There are no "bad" MF DOOM songs. Some tracks are (subjectively) weaker than others but everything MF DOOM produced is fantastic.
"Rap Snitches Knishes" is the one I recommend to first-time listeners of MF DOOM.

I'm not a huge fan of Deth because Daves vocals can be grating at times for me but this song will forever amaze me that they can come with this, huge respect.

Based QOTSA pick.

Every time I put it on I just want to drive until I run out of road. Everybody was firing on all cylinders for ten minutes straight in Achilles, and I consider it to be their best work. Summer evenings driving up and down the hills to this are the best, and I know when I put it on I just refilled the tank and am on a long drive to wherever it is I'm going.

Not a huge fan to the last 2 Zeppelin albums, out of all of them this one and All Of My Love makes me appreciate what they've done though.

I like to view music through a pop lens, and in that sense, a perfect song is one that is well-constructed & immediately appealing. They're impressive in the same way that a nice piece of architecture is impressive. I'll leave out the obvious picks and list a few of my personal deep cut favourites.

Based musical mindset, music elitism and the "I listen to real music" cope is fucking prevalent in niggeradry. I love pop music and will infinitely replay an MGMT album than whatever pretentious trash they push onto you because it's "obscure".

The instrumental and the lyrics are perfect for what it is.
It defined a whole subgenre of rock music.
As far as angry white guy music goes, this might be the best one ever made.

Hating on Limp Bizkit is such an oldfag cope that you just wonder how many times they would guzzle whatever is left of Slayers career.

Static X will always be the exception of the douchery of the nu metal scene of the 90s. Wayne Static will always be the best representation of what it had to offer when it wasn't being down looked upon by people perpetually stuck in the 80s.

We all were there at one point, it's fine to love punk music that's aggressive for the sake of being aggressive, leave the preachiness to Ian Mackaye.

Agreed, DOOM never had a "bad" song. I have no favorite MF DOOM song because it's like asking what's the best piece of art within 100 other pieces of art but I think the best representation of DOOM will always be ALL CAPS.

One single song:

Happiness in Slavery - Nine Inch Nails

This was every. Single. Day. EVERY day at work. For 20+ years in Reactor Department. Because yes, you can find happiness in slavery to the nonsense of overregulation and perfect procedural compliance, or you leave before retirement time.
