+1 Holland 1945

I never have an answer for this question, theres like 20-30 songs id rate at the highest tier. But ill go with this, since along with Tonight, Tonight -smashing pumpkins its what started my love affair with music.

As someone posted, I do have a soft spot for Paint it Black.

Never gets old no matter how many times i hear it
