I know this is subjective and changes given a moment. But what do you say right now?
I say argent, hold your head up. This is a serious score.
The good side of this is that it's perfectly all right to have more than just one or two favourite songs 🙂

Originally posted by @apathistI think about songs that won awards, like for Dylan, the Nobel for songs like 'A hard rain's a-gonna fall' The lyrics are incredible.

"I've seen guns and sharp swords in the hands of small children'....'I've seen a new born baby with wild wolves all around it, I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard. I heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazing, just a small bit from that incredible song.
Or songs from Joni Mitchell, I've looked at clouds from both sides now, from in and out, and still somehow, It's cloud's illusions I recall, I really don't know clouds at all
Or I was a free man in Paris, I felt unfettered and alive, nobody calling me up for favor's, nobody's future to decide. I'd go back there tomorrow but for this work I've taken on, stoking the star maker machinery behind the popular song.
All of those lyrics from Dylan to Joni, are very personal and deep.
Or Mellancamp, Oh yeah, Life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone.
Then compare those to 'I wanna hold your hand......
At least when they grew up they wrote "Yesterday''.... At least for Paul🙂

"on the radio" by Regina Spektor.
She'd be the best girlfriend, you could just listen her practice and write ... the female John Lennon (if John Lennon din't die)

Yes, I agree, Dylan is the man. Some of his lyrics have passed into the collective unconscious and become almost cliche. I can't think of anyone who comes close to having attained that kind of cultural reach.
Just look at how many covers there are of "Forever Young," for example.
