And the Best Song According to History...

Well, clearly, if you read my list, you now know what it is in my opinion.

However, just so you know, the best selling single of all time is Thriller, obviously, by Michael Jackson, which don't get me wrong, I liked. Just not my favorite.

Sooo... did you download the songs yet?

I would say that 50 percent of these songs are on my Ipod. I guess I'll have to download the other 50. Thanks for sharing.

Wow... this is an interesting list. Believe it or not, I have only one (the Rolling Stones song) on my iPod and I have over 14,000 songs on it!!

I'd have a lot of trouble compiling a list this comprehensive. We may have different tastes, but we both love music -- very cool!

The Lemonheads do a great cover of Mrs. Robinson. Check it out. I think you might like it.

Great list but I might have to add White Snake "Here we go again" that was a great song during the 80s or "Vogue" from Madonna...sorry, stuck on the 80s but still your list is awesome.

I agree with Dylan, Billie Joel and Armstrong, but why would I take Mariah Carey or Whitney Houston (or James Blunt??) to my ipod?

culligan92 16 months ago

Billie Joel is the man. Great list

I'm so glad people are still reading through this list and voicing their opinions! It's meant to be timeless, so let's see...

I love the variation of eras in your selection but had to read it twice (in disbelief) that you left out U2's One,in fact no U2 songs, not a fan I take it.

ipod has some awesome products I love their inventions. However they tend to be kinda expensive but I guess you get what you paid for so it is all worth it.
