Opis

The Grammys. The "Billboard" charts. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. "Rolling Stone" magazine. National Public Radio. The Library of Congress' National Recording Registry. "Q" Magazine. "Spin." "New Musical Express." MTV. VH1. ASCAP. BBC. They've all put their stamp on "definitive" lists of the best songs of all time.

They all got it wrong.

Well, not completely wrong, but they all got it a little wrong. All those lists come from some bias or viewpoint that led to inclusions and exclusions that inevitably prompt head scratching.

However, Dave's Music Database has eliminated the dilemma. Lists from over 100 sources have been compiled into the ultimate cream-of-the-crop list which will draw criticism from none and praise from all.

Well, one can dream.
