Best Songs of All Time

So frequently I recommend songs to friends with the preface "This has got to be one of my top ten favorite songs of all time." I'm sure I've said that so often that I have about 100+ songs in my top ten. So, I figured I'd take a go at it. It should be noted that these are what I consider to be the ten BEST songs not my ten FAVORITE songs. Now the question remains: Can I condense the list to just ten? I'll try...

In alphabetical order:

"Comfortably Numb" - Pink Floyd



"Con Te Partiro" - Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman



"Dear Mama" - 2Pac



"I Walk The Line" - Johnny Cash



"Imagine" - John Lennon



"Layla" - Derek and the Dominos (video is of a 1999 Eric Clapton concert)



"Let It Be" - The Beatles



"One" - U2



"(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" - The Rolling Stones



"Stairway to Heaven" - Led Zeppelin



My "bubble" songs (in alphabetical order):

"Bohemian Rhapsody" - Queen
"Crazy Train" - Ozzy Osbourne
"Hotel California" - The Eagles
"Johnny B. Goode" - Chuck Berry
"Light My Fire" - The Doors
"London Calling" - The Clash
"My Generation" - The Who
"Purple Haze" - Jimi Hendrix
"Redemption Song" - Bob Marley
"Tears in Heaven" - Eric Clapton

Flashback Friday: Cover Song Edition

I recently had an argument with a friend about a cover song that I thought was better than the original. He disagreed. I'll let you decide.

And for the record, I don't get Bob Dylan. Just because he played Woodstock doesn't mean he's a legend...it just means he's old.

Knockin' on Heaven's Door - Bob Dylan


Knockin' on Heaven's Door - Guns n Roses
