    You would have to ask that one!!!

    OK..., but it's going to be totally subjective:

    because we all have different tastes

    and we have all have different time frames.

    So here's my contribution....

    http://www.rollingstone.com/news/coverstory/500son...

    the above is the 500 top R&R songs as of Dec 09, 2004 ...

    according to Rolling Stone Magazine...

    I noticed that Sen is the only one who listed an Elvis Song...

    (Why does the King show up on only 1 listing?

    and the Beatles only get 1 mention!?

    No Buddy? No Bruce - Born To Run?)

    But here's one that I believe deserves some recognition:

    Lou Reed - Intro - Sweet Jane - Rock 'N' Roll Animal - 01

    and for some reason... why not throw in "Radar Love" and some Santana

    Now everyone has listed some songs tha have merit...

    but I think they're all winners here....

    In the meantime, I guess I'll head over to Meredith's and listen there. That collection seems to be the most familiar with me.
