OK, here you go. Each member list 15 songs that you think HAVE to be included.

I'll go first:

American Pie
Freebird
Stairway to Heaven
Yesterday
Smells Like Teen Spirit
Bohemian Rhapsody
Under the Bridge
Comfortably Numb
Interstate Love Song
Livin' on a Prayer
Ants Marching
Round Here
Wonderwall
Jump
One

Edit: changed to "15" instead of 10. 10 is too few.

Good call on top 10, KiddieDoc. Makes it more manageable, even if it's difficult to just pick 10.

Happiness is a Warm Gun - The Beatles
Sweet Child O' Mine - GnR
Laid - James
Suspicious Minds - Elvis P.
I Want You to Want Me - Cheap Trick
Enter Sandman - Metallica
Billie Jean - MJ
House of the Rising Sun - The Animals

I think a bands list would be easier to compile than "greatest songs..." :idea:

I can't think of any songs I personally consider exceptionally great...

I must have weird musical taste too then. That's funny - I've always dug "Clumsy" but felt it was going after a younger audience than me. Still liked it though. Wasn't ever a huge STP fan, but Interstate Love Song is just a great song, period. And have been a Ben Folds fan for a long time. Jackson Cannery and Battle of Who Could Care Less are great too.

If I had bumped my list from 10 to 15, would've added Elvis C. (P,L and U) and Pearl Jam (Alive).
