Wow ... The Clash made #15!!! Although judging from the rest of the list, I'm not sure I can consider that much of an achievement.

Good - Clash at 15, high rankings for Marvin Gaye, 4 Stevie Wonder songs!!!! Parliament!!!!
Bad - 23 Beatles songs whic

"Bad - 23 Beatles songs which is far too much love for the N Sync of the sixties, R Kelly?????, Salt 'N Pepa?????"

You've got to be kidding me. Comparing N Sync to The Beatles is like comparing Milli Vanilli to The Clash.
