List from a click bait article, not my list.
What's missing or ranked too high/low iyo?
25. Dancing Queen, ABBA (1976)
24. Light my Fire, The Doors (1967)
23. Juicy, Notorious B.I.G. (1994)
22. No Woman No Cry, Bob Marley (1975)
21. Born to Run — Bruce Springsteen (1975)
20. Yesterday — The Beatles (1965)
19. What’s Going On — Marvin Gaye (1971)
18. Rock With You — Michael Jackson (1979)
17. My Generation — The Who (1965)
16. London Calling — The Clash (1979)
15. Hound Dog — Elvis Presley (1956)
14. Ain’t No Mountain High Enough — Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell (1967)
13. RESPECT — Aretha Franklin (1967)
12. God Only Knows — The Beach Boys (1966)
11. Stairway to Heaven — Led Zeppelin (1971)
10. Hey Jude — The Beatles (1968)
9. Imagine — John Lennon (1971)
8. I Walk The Line — Johnny Cash (1956)
7. Be My Baby — The Ronettes (1963)
6. In My Life — The Beatles (1965)
5. (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction — The Rolling Stones (1965)
4. Let it Be — The Beatles (1968)
3. Like a Rolling Stone — Bob Dylan (1965)
2. Johnny B. Goode — Chuck Berry (1958)
1. Bohemian Rhapsody — Queen (1975)
I'd say half of these songs don't belong in the list.
Great songs missing from the list:
-Into the Mystic - Van Morrison
-Purple Rain - Prince
-Hotel California - Eagles
-Several Led Zeppelin songs (Babe Im gonna leave you, ----Going to California, etc etc)
-November Rain - Guns n Roses
-Cant Find My Way Home - Eric Clapton/ Steve Winwood
-While my Guitar Gently Weeps - Beatles
-Ziggy Stardust - David Bowie

GTFO here.
That list is absolute shite.

No, I don't agree with that list, especially number 1, but this is one of the most useless things to have an argument over. 1000 posts with 1000 different opinions.

Kashmir > Stairway to Heaven

Most of those have an argument for inclusion.
Most.
Not sure how this is the Michael Jackson song they pick. I'd go Billie Jean.
Needs some Pink Floyd... not sure if I'd go Comfortably Numb, Another Brick In The Wall (Pt. 2), or Wish You Were Here.
I'd put Jolene and You Were Always On My Mind in the honorable mention.
ETA: And I Will Always Love You... it at least needs to be in the conversation.
Most.

Or. "the songs that were playing on the radio when I grew up in the late 60s and early 70s". -- dumbass journalist

In the Air Tonight by Phil Collins is missing - shite list.

So only one of the Top 25 songs was written after 1979?
Laughable.

If you're gonna put a Bowie in there, it's Rebel, Rebel.

One song from the past quarter century and it is a Biggy song?
These lists are impossible.

I don't think that there has been a song recorded in the last 25 years that would belong on this list.
Especially when "songs" covers pretty much every genre. If anything, there should be some songs from the first half of the 20th century on this list.

Nobody is ever going to agree on these, they are pointless aside from generating clicks.
Posted on 6/18/21 at 8:31 am to The Mick
20% of the list is The Beatles lol

I suffer from short attention span syndrome in regards to music. The songs listed have been played to death over the years - they have to be in order to make a list like this. Add in that I hate music snobbery, I always find myself in a conundrum about lists. I’ll just say that at this point, none of the songs listed get played in my house. I really don’t mean this as a knock on the tunes listed.

Not to add credence to who's there...
... the case can be made these are not even their best song(s).
