Which songs have the best choruses to you or in general? Post examples if you can!

Two immediately enter my head and neither of them are Matt Good for once. :U But I may remember an example of his whenever I get the energy to think about it. Anyway... My main choice is Invincible by Pat Benatar. It's awesome. Also, I'd say Quicksand by Incubus if the second half of the song counts. Couldn't find any quality examples on youtube but you should all know what it sounds like anyway.

Hey, I liked Invincible.


Anyway, here's some artist bias.

Nodoteki Sanpunkan
Get your groove on!

Blackout
Keep groovin'!

Osorubeki Otona Tachi / Les Adultes Terribles
Silky smooth.

Ishiki
This one's mostly chorus. The song's an odd little bird, but it grew on me. Nice springy bass.

Kuki
Very simple melodic chorus. Once I hear it, it can stick with me all day.

I've been thinking about it for a while and I really love Advertising on Police Cars by Matt Good.

I am trying to think of others but so far this is the top one for me.

I completely forgot about Flashdance II by Matthew Good Band. Good stuff good stuff.

Well, guess it's time for me to splurge on all my Pixies shit.

Hey by the Pixies
Fairly linear but boy does it give me chills when I hear it.

Caribou by the Pixies
As with the song above, the chorus is really simple yet effective.

Gigantic by the Pixies
Love the build up in this one.

Dig for Fire by the Pixies
FFFFIIIIRRREEE. I don't know how you can't feel energized after hearing that.

Alright, now that I got that out of the way...

I'm So Tired by The Beatles
Never get tired of listening to this one.

Nugget by Cake
I applaud Cake for being able to stick "shut the fuck up" in a song and still make it catchy.

Pure and Easy by The Who
Ah man, this gets me every time.

Life Beyond the Minimum Safe Distance by Matthew Good Band
The delivery is just beautiful.
