Just a random thought:
I was listening to Tool on the way to school today as I often am, and I realized that Third Eye is the most beautiful song ever written by a human. I also realized that its not really close, either.
It's the last song on the Ænima album fwiw.
Please post other candidates for best modern song, so I may refute them and shoot you like dog.

Anyhoo, I vote "Surf" by Roddy Frame. The track isn't new (2002 I think) but it's currently on MySpace and I heartily prod all to give it a listen. I honestly think it's one of the best songs ever written.

Re-reading this, best modern song is a bit of a loose description. I mentioned Roddy Frame after reading your "most beautiful song" bit.

you guys need to go out, buy Ænima, get in a car with a decent sound system, or get a good pair of headphones, and turn the volume up to the threshold of pain, then prepare to transcend your physical bodies.
Let me know how it goes.

It's not a new track, it's on "Execution of All Things", a really good album overall. I think it was the album that came out right before "More Adventurous".

Haven't listened to "Third Eye" in a while, putting it on right now.
"Three Libras" by APC is one of my favorite songs ever. It gets my vote.

That's a good song, probably my second favorite by them. Or maybe "Blue" is, I was so addicted to that song for a long time. My itunes says I've played it over 120 times

Hah. Orestes and Third Eye are my favorite two songs by the Maynard bands.
But Dredg is my favorite band, and I can point you to any number of songs by them that are just amazing...The Canyon Behind Her, Whoa is Me, Sanzen are three to get you started.

A lot of Tool songs fit into this category.
Eulogy is one of my favorites along with The Pot and Ticks & Leeches. 10,000 days (Wing Pt 2) is awesome as well.

I still think the best listen you will ever have is The Fragile album by NIN. It's like one flowing song over 20+ tracks. Lateralus by Tool is right behind.
I really can't choose a best song though, depending on my mood it's Lithium by Nirvana, The Frail live version from AATCHB transition into the Wretched, and the Parabol/Parabola combo by Tool is really awesome. Those are my tops. Childhood bests are definately When I come Around by Green Day and Bullet with Butterfly Wings by the Pumpkins.

The Sneaker Pimps album is quite good for one of those "flow into another song" cds. Over before you know it, in a good way.
The Metallica S&M album is phenomenal as well. Listen to it, with headphones, and you don't listen to the guitars or vocals but let your mind relax and concentrate on the orchestra. Some of it is really quite amazing and on the 15th listen you'll still be picking out little nuances you never noticed on listens 1-14.

I love music and live for it everyday... I will make a list of the top 20 or so most amazing songs I've heard by various bands, and maybe even more than that. Gotta go right now though. I figure I owe you anyway for your awesome contribution to my movie addiction.

most beautiful song ever written would have to go to Pink Floyd with either Wish you were here, or what is probably my personal favourite The great gig in the sky. no lyrics in that one really, but still great.

If we're talking Pink Floyd, that's a really difficult choice, but I might have to go with Comfortably Numb, but a lot of the reason I choose that is for the lyrics. Talking on a purely instrumental level, I'd choose something different, but I can't decide.

Yay!
I've always wondered what "Walk in the Park" is about. Has anyone ever asked them? Do you find it sad or happy? It sounds sad-ish at first, but it kind of ends with happy or hopeful sounds.
Another song I really love is "Everlong", but it has to be acoustic. I've never really liked the Foo Fighters, but I think that song is just really beautiful. It has to be an acoustic version though.
