The top five were Public Enemy’s “Fight The Power”, Sam Cooke’s “A Change Is Gonna Come”, Bob Dylan’s “Like A Rolling Stone”, and Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit”. The song I believe is the greatest of all time, “I Will Always Love You” clocked in at #94, meanwhile “Gasolina” by Daddy Yankee is #50… who comes up with this stuff.
