Ohio by CSNY should probably be on the list.

Probably the definition of being iconic of its time and place,

well, it looks like the thread is dead…long live the thread…tho jopo seems to be paying absolutely no attention to us…in closing i would like to say that this has been one of the most interesting, most enjoyable, most intelligent and well-typed threads i have seen, ever, and with very minimal, and mostly amiable riposting…and overall, i think comment number 204 was one of my favorites…succint, fun, and precise…nicely done, even by those of you who have less wonderful taste in music than i…i cannot believe y’all are spending so much time listening to and admiring songs i never heard of…guess i’ll have to check ‘em out…y’all have a good day.

Vedder’s vocals are even MORE amazing when you take the tennis ball into account.

I’m very surprised that David Bowie doesn’t make it in there. He was 1000x cooler than Freddie Mercury (factually supported, of course). And he has a laundry list of iconic songs to choose from – like the sex pistols and op ivy, he helped to launch a genre. No room for Rebel Rebel or Young Americans on the list? Or Space Oddity? Or Rock and Roll Suicide? Or even more, Under Pressure?

Also, I’m glad that Johnny Ballgame is such a big Who expert that he doesn’t know that Teenage Wasteland is actually called “Baba O’Riley”.

Can somebody please explain how “Candle in the Wind ‘97″ – the highest-selling single of ALL TIME – is not on this list and there is no Elton John in general – the artist whose had more top 40 hits than ANYBODY?

I’m not a big Elton John fan, but I at least have a rudimentary understanding of popular music.

I guess this is what happens when sportswriters try to make music lists.

You nailed a couple of my friends that like both Pearl Jam and Nirvana but prefer Pearl Jam.

It was almost scary.

I’d add that they more often than not like the Dave Matthews Band.

By the way, if you cannot understand Eddie Vedder when he sings, then you haven’t listened to Pearl Jam since Vs.
