name a song that you think is "perfect": you couldn't think of a way to improve the song if you tried. there's not a note out of place & if one was, it would make the song worse.

one of mine:

The imperfections of Bowie's vocals actually are what MAKE his songs so human and so dynamic in my opinion. Good choice!

Mine would be Coldplay - Fix You. Same reasons really....I've heard remixes where they add a lot of great things and make the song uniquely cool...but there's no topping the effectiveness of the simplicity in the original. I could think of a hundred others...but this one is playing in my radio right now and I have to admit I'm in love with this track.

for an oldy like me I would have to say:

Replacements-I'll be you
Psychadelic Furs- Ghost in you
Catherine Wheel-Black Metallic

even a little imperfection at the right time is perfect  Wink

I'll still say:

Halah -- Mazzy Star -->  Don't know why, could listen to it for hours
In My Place -- Coldplay
X2 on Fix You -- LOVE that song!!!!
All I Want -- Toad the Wet Sprocket
Dark Side of the Moon album -- Pink Floyd
Chrome -- VNV Nation (don't know why; also think it'd still be relevant 100 years from now)

There are many, many others, but can't think of them all.

I have divided my PERFECT songs into two separate top ten lists (one for electronic, and one for non-electronic music).

They are actually in order of greatness, number 1 being the most perfect of them all.

All Time Non-Electronic Music Top Ten:

01] Thursday - Paris In Flames
02] Bloc Party - Always New Depths
03] Sigur Rós - Popplagið   
04] Minus the Bear - Drilling
05] Underoath - A Moment Suspended In Time
06] Coheed and Cambria - The Light & The Glass
07] At The Drive-In - One Armed Scissor
08] Copeland - California
09] Coldplay - Fix You
10] Saosin - 3rd Measurement In C

All Time Electronic Music Top Ten:

01] Sasha - Baja
02] Sasha - Xpander
03] Amoeba Assassin - Piledriver (Grayed out Summer Mix)
04] Jan Johnston - Flesh (DJ Tiesto's Remix)
05] Bjork - Our Hands (Grayarea Remix)
06] Whiteroom - Whiteroom
07] Talisman and Hudson - Leaving Planet Earth
08] Way Out West - Mindcircus (Gabriel and Dresden Remix)
09] DJ Tiesto - Nyana
10] Synergy - Hello Strings

yeah. those are my top ten favorite PERFECT songs from each side.
