What a great list of songs. When someone comes along in 2074 and makes a list of great songs of the 2020s they'll have to limit it to 20 songs - music has gone terrible again. (Like it did between 1990 and 2010) We did an icebreaker at work, what was the number 1 song on your 21st Birthday. Mine was Whitney Houston's cover of I Will Always Love You, which I refused to play and instead played Dolly Parton's original. It was surprising how few people knew it was a cover, and how many people actually appreciated the original. Also, when I explained the lyrics are not about romantic love but a thank you/apology to her mentor after she quit his show for bigger things everyone understood why the songs first lyric is If I stayed, I'll only be in the way.

The good stuff has stood the test of time. The crap has been forgotten. People sometimes forget this and conclude that all music from the past was better than today's music.
My pick for the most influential song remains I Feel Love. Along with Blue Monday a few years later, the beginning of a whole new genre.

I love the story of when Queen were in the studio and Sid Vicious showed up and mocked their sound. Freddie mocked him right back, calling him Simon Ferocious and grabbed him by his lapel, picked him off the floor and literally threw him out of the studio.

By the rivers babylon I was with my dancing queen, then we sat down with our bohemian rhapsody and we stared at the blue sky and those nearby we told them, we will rock you and they misunderstood and we didn't want our waterloo!

Another great montage by Some Random Guy. Personally would have liked to have included the first record I ever bought Dont Give Up on US by David Soul RIP. But a great collection all the same

Ah, Let It Be. I sang this song on my father's funeral more than a year ago. Everytime I hear it, I remember all time I spent with him, despite painful.
I miss him dearly.
