5. Thriller – Michael Jackson
In the Top 5 most iconic songs ever this masterpiece of Michael Jackson, released in 1982, couldn’t miss the spot. At its release the video clip came along becoming a new staple for visual effects, choreography and kind of music … a new level never reached before and rarely reached again till nowadays.
4. Hotel California – The Eagles
The Eagles are one of the best seller bands ever and Hotel California is their anthem. Probably everybody in the world know this song. Hotel California, released in 1976, was re-released in the greatest hits album of The Eagles becoming beck in time the best seller album ever and still today tips the second place.
3. Stairway to heaven – Led Zeppelin
Probably one of the most complex song ever written this song was released by Led Zeppelin in 1971 for the movie The Song Remains the Same and became the most iconic song of the band ever since. Many magazines and music journalists place this song at the top, and rightfully so, but we think that there are at least two more songs that have been more iconic at least.
2. Imagine – John Lennon
Between the spot number 2 and the spot number one of our picks for the Top 5 greatest songs of all the time there is almost no difference … it all came down to personal tastes. Imagine is probably the most famous song ever made, written by John Lennon and released in 1971. Imagine soon became the song of peace, the song of hope and the song of unity and it never dropped this iconic status.
1. Bohemian Rhapsody – Queen
Released by Queen in 1975 Bohemian Rhapsody became immediately the longest song (and the craziest 🙂 ) to break the charts at n.1 – The song merges the typical ballad style, with opera with hard rock and then soft rock, the lyrics are heart-breaking and officially the one of Bohemian Rhapsody has been the very first music video to be released for commercial use (way before the MTV era). A real masterpiece and a unique music experience. In 2018 a biographic movie of Queen has been named after this song.
