Rock Songs
I almost forgot: One more reason that Rolling Stone's list of the "500 Greatest Rock Songs" is untrustworthy: It put U2's Pride (In the Name of Love) at number 378, while the treacly and sophomoric Imagine by John Lennon was ranked number 3!

Yes, clearly the RS500 is jive. No. 3 was obviously Bill Shatner's epoch breaking version of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.
I'll take Shant's version of "Mr Tambourine Man" any day of the week, and twice on Sunday.
Denny Crane!
A hearty second to your commonts on Imagine. It's sophomoric, treacly, and at least half-a-dozen other bad things that you don't want a song to be. So sad to hear glurge like that coming from the same guy who wrote things like "I am the Walrus".
