i'm as old as some of the editors, but my first thought when i read that list was "damn, all but one of these songs are old!"

if we're going for old, i'm thinking these songs were groundbreaking, influencial and complex yet accessible:

*stairway to heaven
*layla
*dream on

if we're going for beatles, why not something that stood out more from their body of work? maybe day in the life or happiness is a warm gun.

that top 500 seems to have a lot of not only oldies but classic rock on the highest listings. it looks like the entire top 100 was written by one person or a group of people with extremely similar tastes - mostly people over 50.

while teen spirit is not my favorite grunge or nirvana song, it changed how music sounded, it's catchy and well crafted. don't know that it needs to be in the top ten, though. of course on my PERSONAL list, if including nirvana, i'd have to go for negative creep or breed - but that's just me.
