A perfect song? What are your choices?

Stephen Sondheim's "Send in the Clowns." Simple, elegant melody and poetic, insightful lyrics are matched beautifully.

@bdp24,

I am a big fan of the Kinks and Ray Davies brilliant writing, and completely agree with you. I love Waterloo Sunset and would also nominate Big Sky as one of his great compositions.

For another "perfect song" I would nominate November Spawned a Monster by Morrissey.

It's quite amazing just how many great songs Morrissey has recorded in his post Smiths career.

For me, he's up there alone with Dylan when it comes to the sheer number of great songs recorded over all the decades and their unique point of view.

Here's just 2 that immediately come to mind.

I'm with you on the Kinks except I would add Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One and Muswell Hillbillies to make a great 6 record run.  

@cd318 

I'm with you on that. He's a brilliant poet.
