To whittle things down more, the Stroke's first album contained easily the greatest rock and roll song of the 2000's. The return to garage rock sleaze was what the world needed as an antidote to the godawful, misspelled-band-name, mallcore, nu-metal, Korn and Limp Bizkit type national embarrassment era of the 1990s.

Thank you for your service, Strokes.

Because Stevie Nicks has the sexiest voice all time and wrote this, her bonus points get squared and that now places this song in first place all time favorite!

I hesitate to even post a song, because I have no idea what’s the best song ever. I do have a few that I think are very good. I’ll just stick with country for this post. Even in this one genre, I’m just scratching the surface of some of my favorites.

Another good one, just one is an impossibility. Lots of memories tied to this one.

I had it narrowed down to five, and then three have posted already.

So I'm going to cheat a little bit, and go with my favorite song of the last 20 years, covered by my favorite band that's still in their peak.

I'm a sucker for rock bands with strong female vocals.

I used to do a lot of drinking in the early 'aughts in a bar where the idea of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs was allegedly conceived and where they hung out from time to time. Really felt like I'd "arrived!"

Best song ever? Probably this, but that's like asking what's the best elk cartridge with millions of choices instead of dozens.

How about a song about the best song.

On a more serious note:

Really wish I would've had a chance to see SRV live.

How about a song about the best song.

2002, Endfest at the Gorge. First summer after that album came out. We road trip over from Missoula. Somewhere around Moses Lake we hit caller number 7 and get to go backstage.

We (very briefly) meet the D as they're tag teaming a pepperoni pizza and smoking cigarettes minutes before they go up. We get an armful of their merch and ushered away.

That September I was promptly kicked out of English class for wearing one of the sweaters they gave me when my teacher learned what a "Cleveland Steamer" was.

I've still got pictures of me with them somewhere at my parents house.
