Gary - you're memory is excellent. I've always considered "Satisfaction" to be the most overrated song in rock history, and I wouldn't even rank it among the top 50 Stones songs. Actually, I find this to be one of the absolute worst "Top Song" lists I've ever come across, though there are a few surprises. Odd that a list that includes "I Got You" (another one of those songs whose appeal I've never understood) and the Carpenters would include "Crazy" by Patsy Cline or Dylan's "Tangled Up in Blue". That shows a bit more sophistication than most of the rest of the songs would lead me to expect. But thanks for posting the list - I always enjoy seeing how out of touch my taste in music is. Edit: I see from your last message that we don't agree on the quality of the list. Hope you're not offended - I actually like most of the tunes mentioned; it's just that I don't think they're among the best songs. For example, I love the Kinks, but I'd never consider "You Really Got Me" as their greatest song. Same with the Beatles "She Loves You" and so on.

NL, Interesting list. I like most of the songs, but like Z, I have many others that I would rate higher. Where's some early R&B or Doo Wop? Seems a little weighted toward 60's white male groups? No Diana R.....no Celine D....no Tiny Tim?? I would take exception with "Twist & Shout" by the Beatles, the Isley Brothers' version was the first and is far superior IMO and even the Beatles would admit to that (I'd guess).
