Top 10 Songs left off of Rolling Stone's Top 500 Songs of All Time
1. "Jeremy", Pearl Jam
2. "Closer", Nine Inch Nails
3. "Starspangled Banner (live @ Woodstock)", Jimi Hendrix
4. "Bullet with Butterfly Wings", Smashing Pumpkins
5. "Love is", Sublime
6. "Clocks", Coldplay
7. "Don't Think Twice", Bob Dylan
8. "Killing in the name of..", Rage Against the Machine
9. "Champagne Supernova", Oasis
10. "Da Funk", Daft Punk

I am leaving so much out...but these are the top ten that came to mind.

Top 10 Songs that Should have been left off Rolling Stone's Top 500 Songs of All Time
1. "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy", Rod Stewart
2. "Locomotion", Little Eva
3. "Leader of the Pack", Shangri-Las
4. "Push It", Salt n' Pepa
5. "The Twist", Chubby Checker
6. "Be my Baby", Ronettes
7. "She Loves You", The Beatles
8. "Hot Stuff", Donna Summer (Are you kidding me? This made the list?)
9. "Do run run", The Crystals
10. "Be Bop a lula", Gene Vincent

Unbelievably crappy songs made this list. And the early Beatles songs are dime a dozen. Yeah, yeah, they were supposedly 'great songs', but did you need fifty of these early 60's pop songs on the list? The equivalent today of all this junk they put on the list would be Christina and Britney songs.
