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...

Back To The Earth is totally my you song. I think of you every time I hear it, which is rather often because it's on that mix of yours...
