I feel like the followup in this thread is severely lacking in quality compared to the OP.

I think people have to actually know the songs in order for them to be considered classics.

it wasn't songs that were classics, just songs from Outkast that are vastly superior to Hey Ya

[quoteI would offer It's a Long Way to the Top (if You Wanna Rock n Roll). You can't beat the bagpipes.

Don't Stop Believin' - Journey. How this song went unmentioned in this thread boggles my mind, especially in the El D forum.

Big Star - "Thirteen" and "September Gurls". I don't even think most of you know who they are. But I think these songs are both beautiful and transcendent and two of my alltime favorites.

I was bang into Alex Chilton when I was at college - has he done anything good in the last 15 years?

Fight for your right to party--Beastie Boys
Walk This Way--RunDMC

Neither are the best songs by the bands, but they both blew up huge in the mid80s, made hiphop mainstream in a lot of ways and hooked nearly anyone who liked music.

I am somewhat surprised to not see Magic Carpet Ride- Steppenwolf not listed yet.

I think Pianoman- Billy Joel is an honorable mention as well.
