The new poll in the margin consists of the top 10 greatest songs (in order) according to Rolling Stone magazine. Although I agree with this top ten to a large extent, I would have had a few differences. My top 10 would have been something like:

1. Satisfaction (Rolling Stones)
2. Like a Rolling Stone (Bob Dylan)
3. Yesterday (Beatles)
4. Johnny B. Goode (Chuck Berry)
5. Hoochie Coochie Man (Muddy Waters)
6. Imagine (John Lennon)
7. What's Going On (Marvin Gaye)
8. Good Vibrations (Beach Boys)
9. Born To Run (Bruce Springsteen)
10. Purple Haze (Jimi Hendrix)

Some things I noticed were that Sinead O'Connor's "Nothing Compares to You" is #162, but the highest Pink Floyd song is #314? Hmmmm. Nirvana with 4 songs, Nine Inch Nails with none? Hmmm. Black Sabbath's "Paranoid" is only #250 (its the greatest heavy metal song ever!!)? Hmmm. "Stairway to Heaven" is only #31 (top 20 at least)? Carl Perkins' "Blue Suede Shoes" is #95, but Elvis' is #423? Hmmm.

Leave some comments and tell me what you think. Peace...
