Top 100 Greatest Songs of All Time

This is a list of the 100 greatest (english) songs ever, not my favorite or necessarily the best songs of all time since that's entirely subjective. Things like how iconic the song is, popularity and if the song has stayed relevant over time played a big part. That being said it's my personal view of what the greatest songs are and my opinion played a part in the list, so feel free to disagree.

Honestly it is impossible to create a list of 100 greatest songs, but it was actually a good list!

Overall, this is a pretty good list. There are three songs that I’m surprised weren’t in it though: Don’t Stop Believing - Journey Thriller - Michael Jackson Another Brick In The Wall - Pink Floyd

We see how important Rock was and still is, through the amount of music from famous bands present here, such as Lynyrd Skynyrd and Creendence Clearwater Revival, which are two of my favorite bands.

Live Forever: One of the most underrated and beautiful songs ever written and has a great meaning and response to the negative music teenagers were listening to at the time of its release. Champagne supernova would also be included in the list of greatest songs ever made

I love how the three songs “Imagine by John Lennon”, “Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin” and “Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen” is at the Top 5. 3 masterpieces

The creator of this cross-genre list is to be commended - great job! For the record, I spent 35 of my years as a radio programmer who conducted monthly music tests every single month of those 35 years. There really isn’t anything that could be considered universally great songs. I’m from the U.S. so all of my testing came from within. There are about fifty songs that could legitimately be considered for the top spot for a ‘greatest song’ list. Some are not even in the top 100 in this list (which doesn’t mean this isn’t a really great list). Take this for what it’s worth - in the top 25 of the highest tested songs of my career (according to Americans age 18-74) I was always surprised by two things: 1) An instrumental, “Love is Blue” by Paul Mauriat from 1968, never, ever, had a negative score. In fact, it always scored out to easily make most any “Top 100” list. 2) It never failed to astound me how “God Only Knows” is as close to universally adored as any record we ever tested. My comment is tooo long - sorry!

The two best songs ever are bohemian rapsody and hotel California! Their both so well composed

Frank Sinatra - My Way?😐

Some songs that should be on this list include: Careless Whisper by George Michaels Another Brick in The Wall by Pink Floyd Message in a Bottle by the London Police Department Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler It’s my Life by Bon Jovi Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes What it Takes by Aerosmith Sharp Dressed Man by ZZ Top And last but certainly not least… Do I Wanna Know by Arctic Monkeys

Brother, this is a very high-quality top. Yes, it is difficult to make the top 100 without forgetting all the best. But I respect your choice very much and I shake your hand firmly

Bob Dylan (songs 45 and 7) received the Nobel Prize, the highest award on this planet, for writing and performing songs that talked about important issues in American life.

Just the fact that the beatles has 7 songs in this list proves how amazing the band was and how recognized it was and still is to this day.

Nice list!, enjoyed many of these songs - peace and love y’all!!

I'm just genuinely surprised that September by Earth, Wind & Fire isn't on this list or even seen anyone comment about it. Truly an iconic song that will live on for decades.

The Beatles may not be you favorite or my favorite, but none has ever repeated their level of success, longevity, and had as much impact besides them

thanks for making it! ❤
