Hate to be mr. corrector here, but that song is by Santo & Johnny, not Richie Valens. I love this song tho. You probably got it confused from it being in La Bamba (One of my all time favorite movies)
Music is subjective... any song can be the "best". It's all in everyone's preference based on their mood in my opinion. Different styles of music can be enjoyed on different levels of emotion and feelings at any givin time.
Good Riddance is a gerat song and so is Bitter sweet symphony and don't look back in anger.
I think and i think to see what song i think is my favourite (in my opinion best) song of all time and i have too many favourites. Sarah Mclachlan - Angel is probably (one of) the best songs (in my opinion). One of the only songs that still can make me teary eyed.
2pac-Still I Rise OG
Sorry for those tryna keep this an anti-Pac post, but this is tha best song I heard. (Either the Still I Rise OG, or Summer Madness by Kool and the Gang)
