Best songs of all time. Top 3100 best song ever

In the following article, we will show you a selection of 4100 songs that represent, for us, some of the best songs of all time. Among the list to define the greatest compositions of all time ranked, it is obvious that you will find always expected classics such as Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen or Like a Rolling Stone by Bob Dylan, without forgetting the works of David Bowie, The Beatles, or even the Ramones or AC/DC. And all this without forgetting more modern and equally good classics, such as Creep by Radiohead or Supermassive Black Hole by Muse.

Unlike what we reviewed in our list of ancient music, which also includes 1000 songs in Spanish and as many in English, this time we will focus on the 3100 best songs ever in English and another 1000 songs in Spanish, without setting temporal limits (which in the case of previous choices focused on everything prior to the year 2000).

To facilitate the review, but above all because it allows us to offer you a broader playlist, we have created two playlists on Spotify divided by languages, including French, Italian, or Portuguese among the most popular songs of all time in Spanish, while in the English playlist, everything will be in English. But since (not always) man lives on playlists alone, in addition to providing you with a total of 2000 songs, we will also rank the top of the best music of all time.

What are the best songs of all time in English?

What are the best songs of all time in Spanish?

Among the greatest songs of all time in Spanish, we cannot forget one of the great favorites of the Spanish: Mediterráneo, by Joan Manuel Serrat, but neither Joaquín Sabina and his Contigo. Nor La vereda de la puerta de atrás by Extremoduro. Although since this is a matter of taste, for many this position would have to be occupied by Alaska (with the Pegamoides or with Dinarama). Hence the 1000 available songs. But if what interests you is not the song, but the best lyrics in Spanish, we also invite you to visit this other list.
