and from his old band, Eggy's life song, Meat is Murder

 

Ode to Joy - Beethoven

 

I can't really believe there are 500 songs better than Don't Dream it's Over by Crowded House.

 

color me badd, i wanna sex you up

instant classic, concencus top 100 on any list.

 

I feel the same way about Jesus Is Dead by The Exploited

 

There aren't. There are only 127.

Z

 

yeah, i noticed that a bit too late.

 

And they're also ranked in order of submission, so you could say that there are no songs better.

I wish the list had Otis Redding's and/or Aretha's cover of Respect.

Glad to see John Prine on the list and no Jimmy Buffet, that warms the heart.

 

I've just listened to that song on cdnow. What poor taste.

Please everyone disreguard Hangthadj. He's back on the bean sprouts this week. He's dangerously unfashionable and should not be allowed to walk the streets.

In the meantime.....

Cleanse your soul

 

There are few better songwriters than Neil Finn over the past 50 years. You are a jerk.

 

Is "Like a Surgeon" on there?

 

What sauce are you on that you make such a bold statement?

 

i've been dry for 21 days, bitch.

 

What no Poison?

 

Well since your saving cash by not buying booze, go buy yourself some decent CDs.
