My favorite Bowie song is his top-rated. If I made this list, I'd have a time limit that includes "Like a Rolling Stone" and "Stairway to Heaven" but eliminates "Hey Jude". Stephen |

On my drive back from work I would hear it at least one on 93.7 and 102.3, I don't remember which one of them was Austin's Rock. Now that I am living in San Francisco, I have mercifully been spared (I am using the bus). However, the local "classic rock" station also plays the usual dreck. Hey Jude, on the other hand, is an absolute classic. Possibly my third favorite Beatles song, after Tomorrow Never Knows and Love To You. |

On my drive back from work I would hear it at least one on 93.7 and 102.3, I don't remember which one of them was Austin's Rock. 102.3 has changed format: no more hideous morning zoo! No more djays, either, "intelligent" programming with comparisons to Ipods. Now that I am living in San Francisco, I have mercifully been spared (I am using the bus). However, the local "classic rock" station also plays the usual dreck. Clear Channel is everywhere Hey Jude, on the other hand, is an absolute classic. Possibly my third favorite Beatles song, after Tomorrow Never Knows and Love To You. So classic that I don't want to hear it very often. The last time I heard the song was the Bing Crosby version.

Pepe LePew crooned:

Glen Campbell may be the "Wichita Lineman" but poor Lionel is the "Paris Sewerman" ... where he bellows at the top of his lungs: "When there's no future how can there be sin "We're the flowers in the dustbin "We're the poison in your human machine "We're the future your future "God save the queen we mean it man "There is no future in england's dreaming..."

Comments? http://www.rollingstone.com/news/sto...96661/500songs I look through the first 100 songs and I was expecting to see at least one or two songs from CCR, Pink Floyd, and Everly Bros. higher up into the first 50 songs. As it is base on rank, CCR comes in at #99, Ever. Bros. at #141, PF at #314. I understand that among the criteria includes industry figures. |

Off the top of my head, I'd come up with: 1. Procol Harum "Conquistador" 2. Pink Floyd "One Of These Days" 3. Led Zeppelin "Misty Mountain Hop" 4. The Clash "London Calling" 5. The Faces "Stay With Me" GeoSynch |

"jak163" wrote in message ... Comments? http://www.rollingstone.com/news/sto...96661/500songs Any such list is hopelessly arbitrary (not to mention subjective). At one point they call it the "Top" 500 songs. At another point they call it the "Greatest" 500 songs. At another point they call it "Favorite" 500 songs. Whatever. |

Yes, Jann Wenner and his crew were completely impartial. Not only is
the presence of the magazine's title in the title of the first song and the second song's artist a complete coincidence, but Mr.Wenner is the song arbiter of all time. He has proven that not only is Mr. Robert Allan Zimmerman the greatest songsmith to have ever lived, but that old saps like Cole Porter, Harold Arlen, Johnny Mercer, Cahn, Van Heusen, the whole bunch, were nobodies whose lives were spent in vain. The 500 songs selected by Wenner and co. are the five hundred greatest songs ever written anywhere anytime or which may ever be written. |

It's from the album, "God Shuffled His Feet", an album that had a title track that Julia Sweeney used as the theme song for her totally FINE one woman show based on her brother's death from cancer and her subsequent bout with ovarian cancer. Highly recommended. I love her and want to marry her. But she'll have to move to Nashville, which I don't think is going to happen. Persuade her to go singing country songs :-) -- Sander de Waal " SOA of a KT88? Sufficient. " |

It's interesting that it's described as a song about nothing. That fits perfectly with McKelvy's posts - they are about nothing also. Da,, da, da sound a lot like duh, duh, duh and in either case, is much more sensible and truthful than anything McKelvy has to say. Thanks for the "research".  Bruce J. Richman |
