The Greatest Songs of All Time?

October 4th, 2007

So I was just surfing by the Rolling Stone website and came across their ranking of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. The original issue came out in 2004, and I remember reading it then but it got me thinking again.

How do you even go about determining a list like this? I have enough trouble trying to figure out my own personal favourite song, nevermind the best one ever. I think my own personal favourite of all-time would be The Verve‘s Bittersweet Symphony. Everything about it – the lyrics, the instrumentation, Richard Ashcroft’s voice, the video – is perfection to me. On this list, it ranks #382 – and I think it should have been way higher!

As for Rolling Stone’s Top 10, I’m disappointed that The Beatles first come in at #8 – I think A Day In The Life should have EASILY been ranked in the Top 3, and certainly ahead of The Rolling Stones’ Satisfaction.

But that’s just me. What do YOU think?
