172) The Beatles - In My Life Although popular music has changed considerably in the decades since the Beatles’ demise, their music continues to reach and inspire new generations of listeners. Half a century after their humble origins in Liverpool, the Beatles remain the most enduring phenomenon in the history of popular music. http://rockhall.com/induc...atles/bio/ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

174) The Days Of Our Lives - Queen
Significant being the last single they released before Freddie died. The video was shot weeks before then, and is a very eerie, poignant and bitterweeet reminder of the fragility of life.

175) And I Am Telling You (I'm Not Going) - Jennifer Holliday (1982)
There are some moments in music that are so utterly indelible that you're momentarily left without words, even breath. It's as if for a brief gap in time all pain and suffering have somehow coalesced and been channeled through one or more great spirits who can barely manage their magnificently weighty import. By its final earth-shattering gasp you only hope that the dumbfounded gesture you're temporarily reduced to conveys a truth that knows no bounds. This to me is one of the most momentous achievements in American television history. --when you see a fly-- [Edited 9/3/12 15:15pm] | |

176) Go All The Way - The Raspberries
Raspberries lead singer Eric Carmen (guy who went on to have a solo career with All By Myself, Never Gonna Fall In Love Again, Hungry Eyes, etc.) wrote this in a way to get the sexually controversial lyrics (at the time, anyway) past the censors.
This song is about a girl trying to convince a guy to "Go all the way," meaning to have sex with (her). Carmen told Blender magazine in 2006 that he was inspired by The Rolling Stones performance of "Let's Spend The Night Together" when Mick Jagger had to sing it as "Let's spend some time together." Says Carmen, "I knew then that I wanted to write a song with an explicitly sexual lyric that the kids would instantly get but the powers that be couldn't pin me down for."
The song has been described as a cross between The Who and The Beach Boys and as making the chorus 90% of the song, with the verses barely there and only serving to bring the chorus back to the forefront:
"So when I sat down to write 'Go All The Way,' there were a couple things I had in mind. I thought, 'What part of the song is it that people really want to hear? It's the chorus.' As a result of all that, 'Go All The Way' has a 10 second verse, and then the chorus is a minute long. I figured just to get to the chorus as fast as I can. That was the plan behind the song."
While the song went on to sell well over a million copies and Spin magazine named it one of the top 100 singles of all time, most of the band hated the song as being too syrupy for their tastes. Guitarist Wally Bryson described the song as "trite" and said "after the intro, the verse sounded like a Bing Crosby song."
“In our humble opinion, "Go All the Way" is one of the best power pop songs ever..." -Billboard

179) Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Chile Beyond his virtuosic guitar playing, gifted songwriting, ahead-of-his-time attention to studio production, and electric stage presence, Hendrix was also an icon that transcended music; nobody else from his era wore an afro better. In the decades since Hendrix's death, pop stars from Rick James and Prince to Lenny Kravitz and Erykah Badu have evoked his look and style. http://www.rollingstone.c.../biography =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
