Songs of the Century, as compiled by the RIAA and the NEA. Hmmm....
#94: The Bee Gees - "Stayin' Alive" #119: Van Halen - "Jump" #122: Cyndi Lauper - "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" #148: Abba - "Dancing Queen" #201: M.C. Hammer - "U Can't Touch This" #203: Ricky Martin - "Livin' La Vida Loca" #214: Kool & The Gang - "Celebration" #246: Celine Dion - "My Heart Will Go On" #258: Billy Ray Cyrus - "Achy Breaky Heart." #293: Shania Twain - "Still the One." #301 - Bobby McFerrin - "Don't Worry, Be Happy." #326: Amy Grant - "El Shaddai." #337: Will Smith - "Men in Black." #348: Steve Winwood - "Higher Love." #363 - Destiny's Child - "Bills, Bills, Bills."
All those songs were ranked higher than Jimi Hendrix's "All Along the Watchtower" (#365). Hello? What are we smoking here? These people should not be making decisions. Of any kind. These are the people who control the music industry today. Just from this list it's clear you should do everything you can to take that control away. No song is there just for artistic merit; they're all commercial. It's so blatantly self-serving.
