One where absolutely everything is perfect - the beat, the melody, the arrangement, the structure, the lyrics, the subject, etc.?

  • It might be a bit of a cliché, but my pick would be Teenage Kicks by the Undertones. It’s such a perfect representation of its times, there’s a longing in the lyrics that I still feel every time I hear the song, and while not technically a masterpiece in terms of depth or skills, there’s nothing you could add or change that would make the song any better.

    Or if a partial song counts, there’s of course that guitar solo by Prince around the 03:25 mark.
