I know this seems cocky, arrogant, etc. but I am going to be the pretentious jerk and say it: there exists a song that is the greatest of all time. It's got the Muhammad Ali of melodies. Its lyrics make Hamlet look like Rent. It was produced by a robed Brian Wilson in a Buddhist temple high atop a peak, while George Martin shouted suggestions and shaved his head. When the Greeks defeated the Persians at Thermopylae, they were playing this repeatedly on the stereo. Save this for the wedding night, fellas.


This is the kick-off to a series of sorts (we'll see how long it lasts). I will take a descriptive blurb for an episode of Wishbone and somehow link it to great music of all types, brand new or classic.
