Really hard to chose the best, so many
Lynyrd Skynyrds Freebird, is one I quite like

It's good
But what you're really hearing on that is the bass - whichever of the Van Zants that didn't die of drugs or planes was a splendid bassist who pushed the most talented one up.

by 'best' you mean 'favourite', right?

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Fri 28 Mar 2014, 21:25, Reply)

Bring it to the table
Best is subjective, so is favourite.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Fri 28 Mar 2014, 21:26, Reply)

Best implies that it is quantifiable, rather than mere preference

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Fri 28 Mar 2014, 21:31, Reply)

quite.

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Fri 28 Mar 2014, 21:32, Reply)

well not really, no
'Best' isn't necessarily subjective. 'Favourite' is.

Favourite solo this week is prolly Horses by Palace, even though Palace at that point was Slint with Will Oldham on vocals. So that, or Washer by Slint. Or I'm Broken by Pantera. I also find ostentatious displays of virtuosity to be gay as fuck, which is why Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen etc are utter shit.

Best is transitory.
How can we define when our icons have no fixed base?
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Fri 28 Mar 2014, 21:43, Reply)

no, as le nonce pointed out, 'best' is quantifiable
'Favourite' isn't.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Fri 28 Mar 2014, 21:45, Reply)

And then you run into the trouble of how to define 'best'

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Fri 28 Mar 2014, 21:47, Reply)

exactly
At least with 'favourite' it's 100% opinion based.

I'd go by popularity and sales

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Fri 28 Mar 2014, 21:49, Reply)

It's the only way you can really be sure.

Whats worse - being a racist or quite liking Arcade Fire?

( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Fri 28 Mar 2014, 22:06, Reply)

'quite liking Arcade Fire'

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Fri 28 Mar 2014, 22:07, Reply)

That's good - I can be a racist with the official stamp of Dozer.

It can only ever come down to that
You can't compare things that are brilliant in their own way, often with conflicting reasons for being so good.

Posting from a phone, so not bothering with youtube
You'll have to name your tracks, so I can judge your choices.
Although this won't work if I don't know the song and need to hear it
