I don't agree with all of their choices, of course, and never heard of more than I care to admit, but I've bookmarked the site and plan to visit it many more times. Thanks for the great link. They ought to call you the Linkmeister.Cap'n Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11783977137812876489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-1159727691532622312006-10-01T13:34:00.000-05:002006-10-01T13:34:00.000-05:00Too many great songs left off of this list to be t...Too many great songs left off of this list to be taken seriously.<BR/><BR/>No Rolling Stones (Sympathy for the Devil)<BR/><BR/>No Beatles (Day in the Life)<BR/><BR/>No Leonard Cohen (Everybody Knows)<BR/><BR/>Like a Rolling Stone from Dylan? Christ, it's a good song but doesn't compare with the Hurricane and dozen or so other Dylan greats.<BR/><BR/>No Bob Seger?<BR/><BR/>No Cab Calloway?<BR/><BR/>How about Louis Prima's Like a Gigalo?<BR/><BR/>Flawed list, to say the least.

I'm going to have to make some time to listen to the interviews.<BR/><BR/>I couldn't figure out why there weren't any Beatles/Stones tunes until I reread the header, which specifies 'American musical works...' [though the list does include 'Mack The Knife']<BR/>but any list that has 'Gone With The Wind' and ' I Want To Be Sedated ' is pretty damn cool and inclusive.<BR/>John McAuley<BR/><BR/>P.S.--Ok, Tom Waits should'a been on there,lol.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
