Since we definitely didn't agree with Rolling Stone Magazine's Top 10 albums of all time, I figured for fun we could move to another questionable Rolling Stone List. This time we will look at their list of the GREATEST SONGS OF ALL-TIME.
Alright, so we are now moving on to THE FINAL FOUR to determine the BEST song in the Rolling Stone Top 10.
You are going to pick the song that you think is the "Weakest Link" after 2 days I remove the two (2) songs with the most votes. We will then move on to the FINALS.

Surprised thriller or an Elvis tune aren't up here either. I need to look at their next 20.
One of my favorite clips from that movie!
Wait a minute. I’m a grown-ass man.
And I know we’ve had our differences because someone has clearly never shaken his rump in his entire authentic frontier gibberish existence, but in this case, I think we're all indebted to Gabby Johnson for clearly stating what needed to be said.
Gambs, you are off your rocker, buddy. Hotel California is dreck pop country. Free Bird is cool but oh man. Those are better than the Chuck Berry classic or The Queen of Soul's call for "just a little bit?"
Skynard and The Eagles are more "serious" artists for GOAT song consideration?
Sheesh. Dankind was right - shake yo rump-ahhh!
I really do wonder about your ears though F Me... Hotel California is both less country AND less pop in terms of chord structure, lyrics, and overall composition/tone than Johnny B Goode 🤣🤣🤣
Freebird has gained a reputation in the last few decades that overshadows the incredible dueling guitar work that really lit the world on fire. And yes, it's more serious than Johnny B Goode, are you kidding? Maybe the lyrics are a bit on the nose, but the song is objectively more serious in every way than the undeniably fun "never ever learned to read or write so we'll, but he could play the guitar just like he's ringin' a bell, go Johnny go, go go go.."
Much like albums, it's hard to pick favorites because mood and genre make a difference. War Ensemble hits the spot when I want some thrashing metal and Papa was a Rollin' Stone when I need a funk fix.
We've got Aretha's superior anthemic version of Otis Redding's "Respect." (Gabby, if you don't think this song is an anthem, then you've never goddamn heard one!) I think Hendrix's superior anthemic version of "Watchtower" at least warrants a mention.
