Contenders for the greatest song of all time

Top Of The Pops the day Cork beat Galway in the 1986 All-Ireland hurling final. A suitably phenomenal number one to match the definitive sun-kissed Cork All-Ireland final performance.

The Communards - Don’t Leave Me This Way (with Sarah Jane Morris)

This cover by Thelma Houston from 1976 is great too.

The original from 1975 by Harold Melvin and The Bluenotes.

The Thelma Houston and Harold Melvin versions were on the chart at the same time.

So Macho was a very memorable outro to the Sunday game that night, unfortunately it’s not on YouTube :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Numero uno all the way pal, maybe this version will give you more of an understanding as to the why.

Class song, from a fine album of the same name.

Not the greatest song of all time but we seem to be moving away from that idea anyway.

Still, a synth pop masterpiece I think.

The Weeknd - Save Your Tears

May be on here already but it is a banger. It popped up in a nightclub recently and while throwing the crowd, they lifted it.

Daft Punk - One More Time

See post 136 on this thread. Defo the best Rolling Sones song of all time cause Merry Clayton nailed the vocals. Hardly heard Mick Jagger at all, not a bad thing.
