Best 30 Songs Of All Time

[Fisseha Aranda]

Youmight have the most impressive pipes in the whole of your city. You might sound like a strangled cat when you sing, especially after a few drinks. But whatever your range and ability, you will take to the stage for one of these karaoke songs. And it will be brilliant.

Choosing the right song is crucial. If you can't sing in tune, perhaps opt for a rap. If you want to show off that high range, potentially opt for a bit of Whitney. In our list of the best karaoke songs ever, we've got everyone from Madonna to Lizzo, and from Toto to Frank Sinatra. Take a shot and warm up those vocal chords, people. These are the best karaoke songs ever.

That riff, a cross between a sitar and a revving dirt bike, is the most recognizable thing about the song. For such a ubiquitous hit, the lyrics continually surprise beyond the titular chorus. So much so that when Cat Power covered the tune in 2000, slicing off the refrain, it was a strange new poem about the anxiety of commercials and subliminal advertising. This from the first rock band to develop a brand logo, a pair of juicy red lips.

Songs about time are about as old as songwriting itself. After all, the earliest humans were deeply concerned with what each season would bring (and when it would take place). The two things that come up again and again in these songs are the passing of time and the tears that come along with regrets. But the themes go much wider than that (including time travel, for one). Same for the genres, which span from hip-hop and R&B to rock and pop. So, without further ado, the best songs about time.

Although many people learn this pattern early on, they seldom play it with the same authority and discipline as Phil Rudd. His drumming provided the perfect foundation for the rest of the band to create an all-time classic.

Beautiful cymbal patterns over a bass line give the track an Afro-Cuban feel. Williams moves back and forth into a half-time swing as more of the kit is introduced, but the pulse feels uninterrupted despite tempo and time changes. Dynamic mastery.

The 16th note hi-hat part in the verses adds brilliant energy and drives the song forward. This has the light touch at the correct times before thunderous fills in the choruses, powered by the kick drum.

The song is incredibly intense and maintains a blazing speed from beginning to end. Pridgen showcases impressive single pedal footwork that complements the fast 32nd note fills played throughout the entire kit. The single-stroke rolls leading up to the choruses are relentless, and the series of fills at the end are brilliantly executed.

This song has some exciting playing in the verses, single hits on toms, accents with crashes, and constantly flipping the snare around. This all builds to the iconic double kick pattern, which are groups of six, first played in double time, then straight as a solo before the guitars lock in perfectly for maximum effect, finishing with machine gun snare fills in the outro.

A thunderous tom intro moves into a cool half-time feel with a clever off-beat start to the verses. Vinnie Paul brought such power on the toms and double kick in this track, but it still has so much groove.

A flawless, exciting, dynamic performance from the jazz master. This arrangement is a musical journey that features insane drum breaks, tight orchestration, some fun parts and two drum solos that exemplify why many consider Buddy Rich the greatest drummer of all time.

The pounding double-time tom beat in the verse lays such a solid foundation for the rest of the band here. Charlie Watts had an incredible meter, like a metronome at times. He opens up a straight beat on trashy hi-hats for the choruses and throws in many brilliant fills as the song builds.

In trying to work out a fill from a Primus song, Cavalera created an exciting tribal groove on the toms and crashes to open this track, followed by some sharp double kick before settling into a heavyweight half-time beat. This feels on the edge from start to finish.

5/4 through the ears of a master. The song features a clean cross-stick and hi-hat pattern, where the accents move over the bar line (counted on the one and three, then two and five) plus some fantastic 16th note flourishes. While complicated, it flows easily. This came from a triangle pattern Sting had written as a constant pulse, which Colaiuta transfered to the kit. Some beautiful laid-back fills tumble into the choruses, with an equally complex ride cymbal pattern with tasteful splash cymbals.

This is a joyous performance, from the stylish hi-hat intro into a half-time rock groove with fills at the end of almost every bar, snare hits jumping out and accenting the vocal melodies. You can feel the chaotic energy of Keith Moon, but it all somehow fits.
