11. “All Along the Watchtower,” Jimi Hendrix
10. “Smells Like Teen Spirt,” Nirvana
9. “A Day in the Life,” The Beatles
8. “Like A Rolling Stone,” Bob Dylan
7. “Rock & Roll,” The Velvet Underground
6. “London Calling,” The Clash
5. “Johnny B. Goode,” Chuck Berry
4. “Gimme Shelter,” The Rolling Stones
3. “Waterloo Sunset,” The Kinks
2. “Hound Dog,” Elvis Presley
1. “Born to Run,” Bruce Springsteen

It's cool to see a nod for the song ranked 10,000 out of 10,000 at the moment ("Come Dancing" by The Kinks). Soon enough I'll try and compare the full unranked list to see what the missing songs are, and after that, I'll try and get in contact with Rock NYC for more info about where they placed.

If you can identify which songs are between 700 and 691 I'll try my best to get the positions.

I’ll try my darnedest. The other thing is my desire to post a full list of over a thousand songs is hindered only by my fear of it being a gigantic waste of time if for whatever reason Henrik doesn’t consider it eligible (which I hope he does, as well as the other Crawford lists).

Cool. I got some ambitious lists too but I'm afraid later will be ineligible. In this case I don't think there's anything to make me think it's going to be ineligible. But I understand you.

I decided to just go back and finish this already before I do the '50s list cuz what's the point in leaving this (even more) unfinished before I start a new list? And I have to say, a tip of the hat to Mr. Crawford for being a lot more open-minded about music than, quite frankly, I initially gave him credit for. I'll admit, when music critics spend so much time fixated on old-school rock, R&B, and country, they give me bad flashbacks to certain Boomer-aged music snobs with no interest in modern music, just lingering on the past (not naming any names here, but...if you know you know...). But I'm into the 200s now and seeing a ton of Riot Grrrl and classic old-school rap tracks scattered in with all the Marshall Crenshaw and Buddy Holly is very cool. He has a very well-rounded perspective on music history, and he does an excellent job putting all the songs in context (which is especially important when some choices or placements aren't as obvious as others - a good writer has to be able to defend a hot take, you know). Just wish I knew where those two missing articles were!

EDIT: Yeah, I'll never compare him to you-know-who again after seeing multiple Velvet Underground songs in the top 150.

(This was a rant that was honestly pretty stupid - all you need to know is there are two more missing sections)

Any person who has "Steal My Sunshine" and "They Don't Know" within a few spots of each other in the top quarter of a list like this deserves better, that's all I'm saying. OK, rant over.

Just so you guys have SOMETHING new to look at while I post the rest of the list, I published at least through #241.

EDIT: Almost at the top 50, and I gotta say: seeing another list with it in the upper echelon has me thinking "Fight the Power" is going to be a strong contender for the highest-ranked hip-hop song on AM, short of maybe "The Message." This makes me happy 'cuz, quite frankly, while I love "Paper Planes" to death, it feels weird calling it "the greatest rap song of all time." It's definitely hip-hop, but it's also a fusion of so many other things, and most of it's kind of in a sing-song style (but I'm not going down that slippery slope - after all, Bone-Thugs-N-Harmony are pretty widely recognized as a rap group, even if their flow is very musical; plus, I'm not out here promoting any double standards about rap from America being more "legit" than non-American rap). I feel like you'd get some weird looks from rap fans if you called it that. It wouldn't be an obvious pick.

Steve, it's been our pleasure to both share it and celebrate it! You've given us hours of great music, both new (at least to me and a few others) and familiar, to enjoy!
