Song title: The Private Psychedelic Reel

Artist: The Chemical Brothers

Year: 1997

Why I like this song:

This, dear reader, is my favorite song from 1993-2012.

So what makes this song special? Well, as indicated by previous posts, I like songs that are exciting. I like songs that i can hear over and over again and never tire of. I like instrumentals as they invite the listener to form their own reactions. And I like songs that demand full attention.

Needless to say, The Private Psychedelic Reel fulfills all criteria.

There is a lot going on in this song and it's never overwhelming. It is over nine minutes long and it is never boring. It is energetic but never tiring. Hey, even that clarinet solo fits in with ease.

So it is with confidence that I bestow The Private Psychedelic Reel with the title of the best song of 1993-2012.

Song title: Run Rabbit Junk

Artist: HIDE

Year: 2003

Why I like this song:

Its the first track on the Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex soundtrack and a firm statement of intent. I recall back in 2003, a friend gifted me the soundtrack and I played it to death.
In fact, I found I could put this on in the company of friends and no one could tell the difference - proving that music can cross barriers in an effective manner.

Song title: Brimful of Asha

Talk about an insistent guitar riff...
