For example, I think this a great song, but I don't consider it perfect. I think it would be better if they removed about 80% of the backup vocals (doowop?!?).



These songs, on the other hand, I consider great and can think of no changes that would make them better.

I love the almost psychedelic vibe of this:


Crank this one up:


I love the visual story this one tells:


This is obviously very subjective so have at it.

Since we are covering any genre of music, got to go probably the greatest composer that America has ever produced: Duke Ellington and his perfect composition of "Satin Doll". The guy on the double bass is literally putting on a clinic on how to play a cool upright bass.

Which is more perfecter?

As good as ‘Hallelujah’ is Cohen agonized over perfecting it - I think there are versions with several additional verses. Additionally, both Buckley and Wainwright do the better versions of this song than Cohen, which is a testament to its greatness.

I don’t know what a perfect song is or if it exists, but these two immediately came to mind. Kate & Anna McGarrigle’s ‘Walking Song’ is so heartbreaking and honest I can't listen to more than a couple versus; it's about how the small moments and everyday pleasures make a life.



And like most things, simple is better. 'The Last Thing on My Mind' just hits all the right feels. There are lots of versions out there (Dolly Parton, Gram Parsons), but Tom Paxton's original is superb.

Forgive my not providing a link, but Carly Simon's "You're So Vain." How could it be any better?

Love Jay Farrar. I would probably go back to Uncle Tupelo to Chickamauga or Whiskey Bottle

It’s funny, I found all three of those bands in reverse order. Happened to hear “Drown” on the radio one day and thought it was Neil Young. Didn’t catch the name so I searched and searched until I found out it was Son Volt. Bought the album and loved it instantly (still do). Next, I ran into “Outasite outamind” by Wilco and Beinf There and lived that as well. It wasn’t until years later that I found out they were once combined as Uncle Tupelo and naturally all of their stuff as well.
