totally off-topic poll, part II
I was in the car just now and I heard what I consider to be the greatest pop song every crafted by human hands. Before I say what it is, I was wondering what your guys' nominations for the title would be?
[Mine wins because it's got all the elements -- perfect hooks both lyrically and musically, guitar, piano, enough synth to date it but not too much to out-date it (if that makes sense), the lyrics are simple, sweet love song poetry, and the production is lush without sounding over-polished. And it's a perfect length -- it ends right when it should, yet you still wish it was just one minute longer.]
So what's yours?

I TOTALLY saw Ben Folds perform that with Rufus Wainwright... It rewelled!
Actually, I think "Teenage Rampage" by Sweet...

The Pixies' cover of 'Head On'
Well, for the record, the song I was referring to is The Cure's "Just Like Heaven". Flawless.
I abhor most of what is considered modern pop these days. "Come Sail Away" (Styx) comes to mind.
