absolutely!

I think this list should have a little bit more ORDER to it as far as quality since there being numbered ..... this song in reality should be in the top 10 or Top 20 out of 500 along with a MJ song but I guess since were just posting songs it doesnt matter the order their place.

We're numbering it just to make sure we list exactely 500 songs.. when finished, this should be an unordered list.

64) Baby, Let's Play House - Elvis Presley

65) Ben Folds & Nick Hornby - Belinda

66) Louis Jordan - Ain't That Just Like A Woman



Singer, saxophonist and bandleader Louis Jordan may have done the most to set the stage for the postwar R&B sound. In the mid-'30s, Jordan was the featured male singer with one of the greatest of the big bands led by drummer Chick Webb. Jordan shared vocal duties with Webb's female singer, a young woman by the name of Ella Fitzgerald. When Jordan and Webb parted ways in 1938, Jordan started his own band, The Tympany Five (which often included more than five members) and began a recording career that carried him through WWII and into the 1950s as "The King of the Jukebox," with songs including "Is You Is or Is You Ain't My Baby," "Caldonia," "Choo-Choo-Cha Boogie," "Saturday Night Fish Fry" and this 1945 recording, "Ain't That Just Like a Woman." If this song doesn't point the way to rock n roll, nothing does. The song's opening guitar riff, by Carl Hogan, was "appropriated" by Chuck Berry about a decade later, and has become one of the signature guitar licks in rock 'n' roll.

I disagree. If we do that, we may aswell regulate which songs are entered. I already disagree with a couple of songs entered.

That's why I love this list, and the album list, too.. it doesn't matter if anybody else agrees with your picks. I already think this list is better than Rolling Stone or any other professional music magazine/site's list. Everyday people's opinions are far more interesting than Beatles/Radiohead-asskissing critics'.

The List so far:

Keep it coming folks! Next is number 70.

Something is wrong here... the numbering on your list is inconsistent with the numbering everyone is giving their picks.

For example, you have Nine Inch Nails' "Closer" as 61, while the poster has it as number 60.. can somebody verify what number we're actually on, and where/why the confusion started?

Some folks may have not noticed that there was alread a #60 posted when they posted what they believed to be #60. My numbers are correct.

Thanks for keeping track, Hudson

One suggestion: might wanna separate the list up into groups of 20-25...it's gonna be hell to read with 50 or 100 songs listed in a row

75) Little Wonders - Rob Thomas

76. "Lucky" - Lewis Taylor

77) Muddy Waters - I Can't Be Satisfied



The revolution began inauspiciously enough in 1948 with the release of a 78-rpm single by a singer-guitarist called Muddy Waters. Coupled on Aristocrat 1305 were a pair of traditional Mississippi Delta-styled pieces "I Cant Be Satisfied" and "I Feel Like Going Home," and on them Waters' dark, majestic singing. Waters' use of amplification gave his guitar playing a new, powerful, striking edge and sonority that introduced to traditional music a sound its listeners found very exciting, comfortably familiar yet strangely compelling and, above all, immensely powerful, urgent.

STevie Wonder - Pastime Paradice
