The 500 Best Songs Ever!

1. Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers – Roadrunner

97. Dexy’s Midnight Runners - Come on Eileen

What, no Thriller? I've only mad it halfway through the first hundred of this list, but it seems to be a little different. I mean they have the Screaming Trees parked at 28 without a mention of a Bruce Springsteen or Sweet Home Alabama yet song yet.

Update: 67. Bruce Springsteen – Atlantic City I don't know if this counts because I think the Band played it first. I may be wrong about that.

Update 2: I have been informed that it was indeed the Boss who originally sang A.C.. I Have received notice from the New Jersey authorities that I am not allowed to visit the Garden State. Sorry Weehawken.
