I know someone brought up the Talking Heads earlier in this thread, but I'm pretty sure they didn't pick this one.  Hands down, this is their best.

 

Once in a lifetime does it for me.

Oh, that's a great call.  Her whole debut album is stellar but "Criminal" is phenomenal.  Amazing lyrics, amazing delivery.

Great opening lyrics.

I've been a bad, bad girl
I've been careless with a delicate man
And it's a sad, sad world
When a girl will break a boy
Just because she can

...and as sure as the sun rises that's the one you had to have

This band hasn't been mentioned (i think), might not be their most well  known but i think it's the Kinks best

Yep, especially years later when mid-life hits you in the balls.

 
Good one, but Sham a ling dong ding is my favorite. Especially this version...hell, he makes Neko cry.

I honestly don't know how you just choose one Kinks song.

Point conceded. Good catch.

I know there is a lot of REM hate on this thread, but going to toss out Radio Song. A

Add Me and Honey. Overlooked.

I think Prince was great, but I never cared for "Kiss" and I don't think it's his best song by a long stretch -- the falsetto singing became tiresome pretty quickly.  Although not my absolute favorite Prince song, I always thought "Purple Rain" was pretty much his apotheosis.

I was always a Purple Rain guy, but I’ve come around to Kiss recently.  If nothing else, it nails Prince’s unique vibe better, even if Purple Rain is a brilliant epic.

Sexy Motherfucker is his best work.  It's James Brown-level funky.

Just discovered this thread and it’s a great one. I have lots of opinions and I’m team Purple Rain as it relates to Prince. But one that always pops into my head related to this question is actually a b-side from Smashing Pumpkins. “Set the Ray to Jerry” Its a great melody and kinda like everything SP does well in one song. Plus Chamberlain just impeccable throughout.

Indeed a jam. I'm team Hummer when it comes to the Pumpkins. I've played it a million times in the last 30 years and it still hits me like the first time I ever heard it.

Jimmy Chamberlin is so damned good.  He's on my Mount Rushmore of rock drummers with Bonzo, Taylor Hawkins, and Kenny Aronoff.

Taylor Hawkins is on the Mt Rushmore of drummers?

surrender is possibly my least favorite song of all time
