It is hard not to fall into subjectivity when you try to draw a short list of the most memorable songs ever. But to do that you need to see the big picture, have knowledge of what was sung up to you and not just during your lifetime. For a clearer point of view you can also check the opinions of famous musicians and of music critics. For objectivity purposes the songs should also be selected from different bands.
With "Imagine" John Lennon spoke the words that everyone wanted to hear in his time. When war overwhelmed the people, he was bold enough to give hem hope. But despite the masses of activists which joined him in singing this song, it remained until today a valuable song with universal meaning. It adapt the contemporary world just fine, and its musicality makes it suitable even for singing it as you put your children to sleep.
With more attention to the human being, the song "Hotel California" of the Eagles is the second one. Its lyrics have the power to bring to life such powerful images that accompanied by an alluring music throw you in a nightmarish setting. It used to be a song about the dark side of the American dream, but it remains popular because it speaks about the monster of fame which exists nowadays, too. On a personal level, everyone can identify with the lyrics, as describing our fears and vices which hold us captive.
"Stairway to Heaven" has fascinated both the general public and the world of critics. It is a song that can be interpreted in thousands of ways due to the vagueness of its lyrics. With religious implications, it approaches unconventionally the idea of personal liberation by choosing the right path in life as opposed to that of the capitalist world. The music with its softness wraps the undistinguished content in a foggy light.
The musical value of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" is undeniable. This song harmoniously and unexpectedly combines different artistic styles. The music changes throughout the song from ballad to opera and heavy metal. On this background theatrical lyrics roll, bringing to the scene a man conjuring the soothing figure of his mother to fight away the demonic faces which actually surround him.
"Light my Fire" was the Doors most popular song. Its popularity has reached beyond the age when it appeared and is still known and hummed by almost everyone. The fact that this is an optimistic song about lovers, seizing the day and being happy was the very source of its success. Furthermore, the traditionalist generations were outraged by its boldness and this only drew even more to it the attention of the young generation.
It is only fair to say that more names have the equal value of those listed above. There are also bands who made music that sounds great by using the effects pedal, which couldn't be mentioned among these. Nevertheless, they are known and loved by you and that is why you can draw your own top five or maybe top one hundred.
