100 Greatest Songs Ever - Part 1

This was a fun project. Over the course of the last two months I'v put together a list of my 100 favorite songs. The only stipulation is that the songs must be at least 5 years old. They gotta stand the test of time after all! As 100 songs is rather a lot, I'll post them in 10 song chunks.

Let's get to it...in alphabetical order:

A Day in the Life - The Beatles
A Little Less Conversation - Elvis Presley
Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love - Van Halen
Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing - Chris Isaak
Bang a Gong - T Rex
Barracuda - Heart
Beautiful Day - U2
Billy Jean - Michael Jackson
Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
Bridge Over Troubled Water - Simon & Garfunkel
