A serious question - is this the best song ever?

[Wales-Bales]

"SOS" is one of the most-covered of ABBA's songs. It has been recorded and performed in concert by several prominent artists, including John Frusciante, Peter Cetera, Chris deBurgh, and Portishead.

The track has a number of music industry devotees. The Who guitarist Pete Townshend has said "SOS" is one of the best pop songs ever written, adding that when he first heard the song he "was transported by it".

Former Beatle John Lennon declared that it was one of his favourite pop songs, while Ray Davies of The Kinks said that he was taken with the song after seeing the group perform it on the BBC television show Seaside Special.

American singer-songwriter and former Czars frontman John Grant has called "SOS" "one of the greatest pieces of music ever made", adding that Agnetha Fältskog's "perfect" lyrical interpretation and emotional delivery is "a beautiful thing".

British conductor and producer Charles Hazlewood called the song's "supersonic" transition from an acoustic D-minor key to an electric rock motif "absolutely genius".

Against that, Bert from Archer Road, Ely said SOS was rubbish

D minor is the saddest of all keys. It makes people weep instantly.

[Cyclops]

D minor is the saddest of all keys. It makes people weep instantly.

Only to be instantly cheered up by an electric rock motif. It's a roller-coaster of a song

[Wales-Bales]

D minor is the saddest of all keys. It makes people weep instantly.

I love Dm, Fleetwood Mac used it all the time. You can seriously rock with Dm, Bb, C, F

[Taunton Blue Genie]

D minor is the saddest of all keys. It makes people weep instantly.

So why is it called 'Sunny D'?

For me Steely Dan's FM is musically perfect, a fusion of soul, funk, rock and jazz, beautiful.
