3. "Beat on the Brat"-Ramones
Edited on Tue May-31-05 05:36 PM by hippiepunk
"Beat On The Brat"

Beat on the brat
Beat on the brat
Beat on the brat with a baseball bat
Oh yeah, oh yeah, uh-oh.

What can you do?
What can you do?
With a brat like that always on your back
What can you do? (lose?)

Just to piss you off. :P

4. I was actually going to say either Ripple or Box of Rain as a write in
and was quite shocked to see it as a choice :)

5. Your list contained all defensible compositions, but I went with Dylan --
-- on your these-options-only instructions.

From early school days I was not one to follow instructions very well, so I expect praise, redsoxliberal. High praise, and cold beer, while you're at it, for restricting my voting like that.

HAD you given me an 'OTHER' choice, I admit that it would have been impossible. So many fine compositions out there, including the ones on your list.

Nice post.

16. Gotta go with Floyd, but I prefer "Shine On You Crazy Diamond"
over "Wish You Were Here".

And, the first part of the song, if anyone asks.

23. two great songs
but I do not think they can compete for best ever. Perhaps if this were a list of 15.

The suspense is spine-tingly-dingling.

26. "Sympathy for the Devil" by The Rolling Stones.
Best Rock N Roll song in history. Having Oasis on a "Definitive best ever" song list should be grounds for hanging.
