    I love it! And I fly it often outside our house. The designer of the flag is a Facebook friend of mine.

    I got involved with the movement for a short while, but the whole thing seemed doomed to in-fighting. Too many people with too many visions for what they wanted the whole thing to stand for.

    I can't believe I didn't think of that one. I might (depending on the day) rate "Isi" a notch above it, but yes, those two are simply perfect.

The I started thinking that most of the Beatles catalog would really fit as "perfect songs" for me. Sure, some exceptions, but generally perfection for me.

    For me, there are tons of others in rock and Prog. Here are some off the top of my head:

    Motorhead - One Track Mind
    Pretenders - Middle of the Road
    Bowie - Jean Genie (I wouldn't even change the not that sounds like a mistake to me )
    Rush - Red Barchetta, The Trees, Free Will
    Yes - Silent Wings of Freedom (I'm probably alone in this, c'est la vie), Turn of the Century
    Allman Brothers - Whipping Post
    Aerosmith - Sweet Emotion
    The Firm - Fortune Hunter
    Stone temple Pilots - Vasoline, Plush, Interstate Love Song

    Too many more to list. I couldn't possibly narrow it to one song.

    Funny, I was just thinking that the other night as I sang along.

    Not to nitpick, but it's "For No One." One of Paul's best ever songs. It really is perfect, like you stated.

    I'll toss in this as my number 2: Since I've Been Loving You - LZ

    Captures the essence of: the Pain of relationships expressed in the Blues format but with haunting beauty and a fairly complex chord structure.....and a solo to die for.

    Here's a great song to listen to on the way to work. Yeah, I know it's outdated (Century 20 A.D.), but it still applies. Great guitar from Buck Dharma on this.
