I would have never thought someone would share my GREATEST SONG OF ALL TIME.
For me it is 'Dearest' as well, by of course Hamasaki Ayumi. A great song to me has to do nothing with being groundbreaking or completely unique, but it has to do with the meaning of the song and the message that the listener recieves and to me I got the message of pure and divine love and devotion. This song just means the world to me and one day I hope that I can convey the feelings in this song to my loved one.
About the whole controversy about a "great song", I am personally tired of hearing people say that "GREAT SONGS" were all the oldies and really famous names because I think music is great if it really means something to you and all those artist you mentioned and the Beatles and Queens and whatnot definitely are AMAZING but I guess I wasn't around in their time period or what not to really feel what they were all about and their music. It really depends on time period and stuff too, well in my opinion. Many of today's music is probably really generic but it is pretty hard to do something extremely unique when almost everything has been tried, NOT EVERYTHING but a good deal of it. Anyways I hope I'm making any sense but yeah... ^^;; I LOVE POP music hahaha and it does mean a lot to me, their messages maybe shallow at times and sugar coated but they mean a lot to me and so they are what I consider GREAT songs. (I'm crazy don't even bother listening to me hahaha)
