Agree on Hotel California and Teen Spirit, I'd add Rolling Stones "Satisfaction"

Go ahead and laugh -- not the most, but one of the most -- The Beatles:

lightmann

Why would anyone laugh?

MarkGrace

it's more the way the song was recieved at the time, than the song itself.

lightmann

9/18/14 12:55am

The older I get the more I think the Beatles were opportunists

PolarisPrime

9/18/14 1:57am

Maybe, but they did things with chord progressions that were simply not done in

LeftOfNormal

9/18/14 2:03am

The magic chords.

PolarisPrime

I'd say they were both. To say they weren't trend setters is crazy talk.

Video Killed the Radio Star by The Buggles. Rapture by Blondie.

Bethovens 9th and it's not even close.

Not disagreeing with you , but it irks me when someone says, 'and its not close'

It was picked at the number one song in history.

I don't see how it could be anything but Smells Like Teen Spirit

Supercoug

9/18/14 5:11am

Many songs were more influential than Smells Like Teen Spirit - it definitely

BigD Coug

We're only talking about a song. One single song.

I was a freshman in college - does that make me too old?

Yes, you are old.
