Если это "Top 500 G-R-E-A-T-E-S-T Songs", то в ПЕРВОЙ сотне вряд ли должны находиться:
Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
Bruce Springsteen - Thunder Road
Bob Marley & The Wailers - Redemption Song
Ike & Tina Turner - River Deep Mountain High
Roxy Music - Virginia Plain
Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower (тем более, что это вещь Боба Дилана).
Sex Pistols - Anarchy In The U.K.
Beach Boys - Don't Worry Baby
Michael Jackson - Billie Jean
Element Of Crime - Weißes Papier
Mick Jagger - Memo From Turner
Righteous Brothers - You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin' (?????? - "Unchained Melody" на несколько порядков выше).
Elvis Costello - Alison
Martha & The Vandellas - Dancing In The Streets
Bob Dylan - Visions of Johanna
Rolling Stones - Tumbling Dice
Bob Dylan - Boots Of Spanish Leather
Tindersticks - Kathleen
Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five - The Message
Prince - When Doves Cry
Bob Dylan - Ballad Of A Thin Man
Oasis - Live Forever
Byrds - Eight Miles High (????????? – эта вещь, пожалуй, в "500 лучших" вовсе не может входить).
U2 - With Or Without You
Chic - Good Times
Randy Newman - Political Science
Вобще-то УДИВИТЕЛЬНО, "London Calling" (Clash) на 11-ой позиции ЭТОГО списка, а "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" (Procol Harum) – на 99-ом! (???????)
Повторюсь, все эти вещи могут быть в Top 500 (за редким исключением), но только не в ПЕРВОЙ сотне. Часть не указанных тоже под большим вопросом, например R.E.M. – "Losing My Religion" или Neil Young – "Cortez The Killer", к примеру.
Песен 30-40 (действительно ВЕЛИКИХ, которые знают даже не меломаны) в первой сотне вообще не присутствует! (?!).

Удивительно (а скорее всего, несправедливо), что в подобные списки никогда не входит знаменитое произведение Скотта Джоплина "The Entertainer".
Хотя, к данному списку это не относится, пожалуй. Надо бы подумать (или поискать пока, по крайней мере) Top "The Most Greatest Song Of The World". В нём вышеобозначенная вещь должна быть непременно. По большому счёту, именно с этой вещи-то ВСЁ И НАЧАЛОСЬ...
