Top 10 songs ever

[desh]

In honor of WXPN's countdown of the top 885 songs of all time, here is my vote for 10 best, or what it would've been had I voted on time:

1. Doors - Light My Fire
2. The Who - Won't Get Fooled Again
3. Bruce Springsteen - Born To Run
4. Derek and the Dominoes - Layla
5. Billy Joel - Piano Man
6. John Lennon - Imagine
7. Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb
8. Dylan - Like a Rolling Stone
9. Beatles - Hey Jude
10. U2 - Sunday, Bloody Sunday

...and, man, I can't believe I have to leave out Romeo And Juliet, Orange Sky, Hallelujah, Bobby McGee, everything by Pearl Jam, everything by Zeppelin...

What are your lists? (Looking at other people's lists here might help.)

I might try to start a meme next week, once their top 100 is revealed...

That's a good point about good songs vs songs I like... I think Time is Running out and PoD might not have made it if I was thinking just of good songs. Though PoD would be really close to the list, it would probably be on the outside looking in.

Massive Attack is Trip-Hop, I.E. a mix between Hip Hop and Techno. Kind of like a more techno-heavy The Roots (who are awesome). I never really listen to XPN, or really any radio for that matter, but now I'm curious, I might have to give them a listen. Especially if they actually played Echoes in it's entirety. That takes balls.

As far as my list goes, though, I could seriously add another paragraph or two about why each of those songs rules. Maybe I will when I post it to my journal.

Also, when I was spell checking this entry just now with LJ, it doesn't have techno in it's dictionary. It suggestions:

Tech no, Tech-no, Technion, Teaching, Tech, Techs, Teched, Torching, Tench, Chino, Tachyon, Teach, Tenor, Etching, Tenon, Ten

I don't even know what tench, tenon, or teched means.
