Rolling Stone Top 500

Number 4 with a bullet

Rolling Stone magazine has released its list of the top 500 songs (apparently from the past 50 years). The magazine's top song is, appropriately, "Like a Rolling Stone," while the last song on the list is, appropriately, "More Than A Feeling." I don't mean to be disrespectful to the dead, but there's no way "Imagine" should be higher than any Beatles recording. I'd also sub "Heard It Through The Grapevine" for "What's Going On" and bump up some more R&B (Ronette's anybody?). "Hey Jude" doesn't belong above other Beatles cuts, either, but one could go mad comparing the worthiness of all selections. I'll post the Top 10 and leave it open to discussion.

1. Like A Rolling Stone (Dylan)
2. Satisfaction (Rolling Stones)
3. Imagine (John Lennon)
4. What's Going On (Marvin Gaye)
5. Respect (Aretha Franklin)
6. Good Vibrations (Beach Boys)
7. Johnny B. Goode (Chuck Berry)
8. Hey Jude (The Beatles)
9. Smells Like Teen Spirit (Nirvana)
10. What'd I Say (Ray Charles)
