Rolling Stones 500 Greatest Songs (Part 2)

There was only one surprise in the batch. I had never heard Dionne Warick's "Walk On By" and wow, it is pretty good. I am not sure what to say here just I was blown away by the lyrics. I suggest checking out some of these songs when you can because all of them should be required listening.

The Overrated track is the Sex Pistols. While still worth being here I think they need to be a bit lower. I also am not a huge Elvis fan. If he weren't here i wouldn't listen to him. I don't know why. I just don't click with it. That being said, I think I like "Jailhouse Rock" more now then I thought I did. I just like the feeling and the way it all comes together.
