Ask HN: Who is your favorite musician and what is their best song?

Crosby, Stills, and Nash -- Suite Judy Blue Eyes, Wooden Ships, Guinnevere, In My Dreams

If there are a decent number of responses here I will make and share a playlist tomorrow.

Queensrÿche - the entire Operation:Mindcrime album.

Sigur Ros - Untitled 1 (Vaka)

For me it’s probably Pixies - Hey, it’s like the last common ancestor of the vast majority of bands and music that I like, and just amazing in its own right. https://youtu.be/OdZGvMEeNLw

Primal Scream - "Higher than the Sun". Though Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" would be up there also. :)

Rosetta - Monument

It’s such a powerful song that’s pushed me through many ups and downs.

Dave Van Ronk's recording of Death Letter Blues.

eta: No wait, I change my mind! John Coltrane's My favorite Things! Live at Newport.

Gregorio Allegri - Miserere mei, Deus.
