The Kinks: Waterloo Sunset
Music for a Queen's funeral.
Waterloo Sunset is very English (if not British), feels elegiac given the redevelopment of London in recent years and has a claim to be the best popular song written during her reign.
It is the best pop song ever written. Not the best song, and not the best pop music, but the best pop song. It’s a masterpiece.
