Personal Favorites

Bus Stop - the Hollies
The Letter - the Boxtops

Both so very, very good. The Hollies have about a 3/4 miss rate as far as I'm concerned, but the other 1/4 is pure gold: Bus Stop; He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother; Long Dark Road; Stop, Stop, Stop; Look Through Any Window; Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress).

I also should have had songs by The Kinks and The Doors in my first post.

Uhhhhh....

Even if you realize thats a cover, I cant ever imagine my top 10 including a cover. If you havent written the song, you dont deserve much credit.

I would sooner nominate "I Don't Care About You," but that's just me.

Of course, you have a point...

New York's alright if you wanna get pushed in front of the subway

New York's alright if you want to freeze to death

New York's alright if you wanna get mugged or murdered

New York's alright if you're a homosexual...

Nice.

as bad as some of the songs were in this particular run, i love these 'best songs of all time' threads, i get a lot of good ones from them...

keep them coming.

Your post should apparently be titled "My Favorite Songs." They certainly aren't the greatest by any means. Not that there is anything wrong with that. However, Moby sucks and you would have a hard time establishing that more than 15% of the world finds him tolerable at all. I think you need a bit higher approval rating to be considered "great."

For example, CCR and Pink Floyd.
