My favorite song of all time...

I was prompted to reveal my favorite song of all time today. I thought about it literally all day, it tortured me, nagging at me every second. Why couldn't I just say hands down what my favorite song is? I'll tell you why, because I find it to be one of the world's most difficult questions. I face this same issue when someone asks me what my favorite band is, or my favorite album.

I mean so many factors play into a decision like that...are we talking about the album I think is most influential on the history of pop? Or maybe the album that means the most personally to me? And what about the band that started a musical revolution and changed everything forever? Or the other band that started the next musical revolution, forever changing the course of musical history, again! Not to mention that we could be talking about the album that I think has the most memorizing melodies or the catchiest hooks, or the most beautifully thoughtful lyrics, or simply the album that I judge to be the most fun of all time? Now you see my problem...as this is how I approach these questions.

I mean seriously, how do I even begin to answer this question? Honestly, my head is swimming and I have so many things I want to say on this topic, jeesh. I need to stop and think...
