stolen from somewhere else:
Which one song do you wish you had written? One that you'd be willing to stand or fall on the basis of it's merits and as a song you can identify with
This is way hard by the way!
Also, please no lists. i came up with a list but i can't narrow it down as of yet.

Haha. Instead of coming up with some brilliant timeless masterpiece of music I'd probably say I'd wish I had written Thriller or Hit me Baby One More Time or some insanely overplayed pop song so that I'd get lots and lots of royalties.

Are we looking at this from a strictly lyrical perspective, or the song as a whole (instrumentation, composition, et al)?

Soon Forget by Pearl Jam is one that quickly comes to mind, but I'd really need some more time to consider it.

This is an insanely hard question. In terms of popular music, I think I'd go with Disarm by the Smashing Pumpkins. While it's not *lyrically* the best thing ever, I think the music is just absolutely amazing - all the random instruments they used to put it together. Sheer brilliance. And my favorite song ever.
If we're talking music as a whole though, Rite of Spring by Stravinsky. I don't know how he did it. Blows me away every time, and I wish I had the creativity and genius to come up with something both that revolutionary and that good.

Sorry is the fool who trades his soul for a corvette...
Haha, I love that song.
I'd probably say Off He Goes by Pearl Jam, but watch me switch to another PJ song tomorrow...

It's a tie:
Radiohead - Karma Police
or
David Usher - Devil By My Side

I'd say...Weapon by Matt Good? Can I just go with that whole album?

god this is hard.
I'm thinking that I'll have to go with something by Matt Good. I absolutely love his lyrical style, and the instrumentation always compliments it perfectly (although it's rarely the highlight of the song).
God damn this is hard.

If we wanna talk major royalties, we should all be saying "Happy Birthday".
