When a band's best song is not on their best album

50% of the bands discussed in this thread have recorded at least one song about having a magical ticket that lets them go anywhere and do anything. Guaranteed.

The Kinks
Best Song: "Lola" or "You Really Got Me". Yeah, I am totally confusing "popular" and "best".
Best Album: The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society.

Fine! Fine, that's the best song by the Kinks. It's still not on Village Green, so it fits.

I would say that Lola vs. Powerman and the Moneygoround Part One is as good as Is The Village Green Preservation Society, but it also does not have Waterloo Sunset.

Sufjan and the guy from Panic at the Disco should write a song together and call it the entirety of Great Expectations.

That is essentially daring Wayne Coyne to use The Tale Of Genji as a song title.

Psh. Fade To Black's lyrics are trash. Also a band's best song should be the one that showcases everything about that band. One does that, Fade To Black does not.

Metallica would be a more interesting album poll than RHCP I think. Black would probably win, but it is not the best.

Well, then hop-to and create the thread son.

Curiously, are you gonna include "Metallica S&M"? I know it's a compilation album kinda, but hot damn was it good.
