Actually, I read that Bohemian Rhapsody is full of symbolism regarding Freddie Mercury's sexuality. Of course, I refrain telling my homophobe dad about that.

Still, I can't think of anyone who dislikes the song. I know I've always loved it.

I smurfing hate the song Don't stop believing. It's so silly. Don't like Bon Jovi either. :sad:

Probably Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen. Who doesn't like that?

I like BtR, but I love Glory Days more.

I dare you not to like this.

Expanding on the definition of 'song' a bit I think Mozart may be one of the most beloved composer of songs, even by people who dislike classical music in general.

I don't think there are any universally loved songs. One man's favorite song ever is the next man's ear bleeder.

I'm fairly certain the question is which song will have the largest following, not which song will everyone in the world like. There is a difference.

I'm going to have to say that it would probably be Don't Stop Believin'.

Okay so I only know about half the songs mentioned so far, but put me down for Bohemian Rhapsody. I freakin' love that song, it's so damn weird

Queen - Don't Stop me now
Billy Joel - Piano Man
Oasis - Wonderwall

I'm not too fond of the last one myself, but it's because I've used it up. This song is following me around somehow.
