Good list!
Thanks!
I take it you like Van Morrison. I have a list devoted to Van. Check it out.
cool.
Thanks for the nod to Bob Segers 2+2=? (2 + 2 is on my mind). His early hard-rockin' years are still his best to this native-Detroiter.
Not trying to be critical but, "The Air That I Breathe" was first done by the Holiies, not Bread, I believe.
Yes, you are right. But, I like Bread's version of this master peace.
By the way, The Hollies original version was one last international monster which made number six in the U.S. in 1974.
I think it's great that you have:
- Let It Be at the top
- Whiter Shade of Pale near the top
- White Horses and Angie are included (Rolling Stones)
I hate Lee Marvin's Wandering Star.
50. STEAM: Na Na Hey Hey Goodbye - looks out of place.
One of my favourites 'best songs - forever' is the song 'Forever' by Roy Wood (The Move/Wizzard) - that I thought appropriate given the title of your list (but I would have included it in my list anyway).
Great List!   I'm going to clone it and create my own.
I added CROSBY, STILLS, NASH & YOUNG two songs on the list.
By the way, Lee Marvin's LEE MARVIN: Born Under a Wandering Star is a song from my childhood time and this is the only reason that this song is on my list (sentimental reasons).
I've got a couple of sentimental ones on my list also:
Elvis Presley - Rags To Riches
Nazareth - Broken Down Angel.
Thanks for Nazareth. But, my favorite is "Love Hurts".
I saw Nazareth live once - ca. 1974.
Thumbs-up on David Bowie's "Heroes!"
