There are plenty of great songs that have come along in the last 50 years or so An element that I factor into a perfect song, which, by the way, is about the overall sound. Lyrics, melody, rhythm, the lead instrument’s chord pattern, and often a great song is more like a couple of songs stitched together perfectly. Here are a few examples of what I consider perfect songs. There’s another category I think of as “Perfect pop songs”, which for example look at Steely Dan’s “”Peg”Cranberries ““Dreams”, orINXS’s “New Sensation”, or The Cardigans’ “Lovefool” Above all else, a perfect song should make you feel . Regardless of era, genre, or lyrics, a perfect song should make you feel something. Regardless of era, genre, or lyrics. A perfect song should make you feel something. A solid criteria for judging the quality of a song is to consider quality of cover versions, especially in a different genre, i.e. Nine Inch Nails’“Hurt” Nine inch Nails as covered by Johnny Cash, or especially When in Rome’s “The Promise”
