alot of great songs, but really - these things are so subjective. And something I firmly believe: older does not necessarily mean better. Why is it the vast majority of these tracks are "oldies"? For some reason, modern music is looked down upon. | |

I like most of those selections, but I don't agree with the Sex Pistols. Always hated them. | |

and 2. what about this one?
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to Cry if I want to, cry if I want to You would cry too if it happened to you or this one: I'm not content to be with you in the daytime Girl I want to be with you all of the time The only time I feel alright is by your side Girl I want to be with you all of the time All day and all of the night or almost anything by The Supremes of this time | |

Yes, The Supremes' absence is glaring on that list. | |

There's this obscure little singer named David Bowie who might deserve to have a song or twelve on that list. | |
