not just a perfect song, but the first song that really stopped me in my tracks. i was 18, a little bit out of control, and listening almost exclusively to hardcore and angry rap, and it didn't hit me on any sort of born-again shit...it just came across as something so beautiful and otherworldly...the harmonizing and the honesty and conviction with which it was delivered. on a side note i was so high the first time i heard it that i tough they were referring to some girl named "cinnamon" instead of "sinner man" but that somehow made the song even more haunting and beautiful. but i can still hear it like the first time i heard it. so bitter but at the same time so sweet. the last 20 seconds where the music fades out but the vocals keep going is my shit

Big Star - Thirteen
(no really)
favorite...but it's not really perfect, more like
sloppily endearing.
Wow. I was talking about this thread with my friend on the way home today and he said Teenage Kicks too.
Completely agree. The live version from the seventies with Alex Chilton solo slays me.
perfect title, perfect gangsterfunk, dopeass vocals and that break has to be the most perfectest break...right (?)
or is that a track and not a song...?
the cars - dangerous type
skull snaps - it's a new day
black sabbath - fairies wear boots
afrique - house of the rising funk
ronnie hudson - west coast poplock
soul destroyers - blow your top
atcq - electric relaxation

Cooperettes - Shingaling
Four Larks - Groovin at the Go Go
Bass and tambourine intro... snare and horns on the offbeat, could possibly be the finest production ever.
