Now that the results of the normblog Greatest Songs of Rock 'n Roll poll are out, here, for the record, is my selection:
Good vibrations – Brian Wilson (Smile version)
Astral weeks – Van Morrison, Astral Weeks
Tangled up in blue – Bob Dylan, Blood on the Tracks
I want you – Bob Dylan (Barb Jungr version – the most erotic version)
Story of Isaac – Leonard Cohen
RESPECT – Aretha Franklin
Dock of the Bay – Otis Redding
The Weight – The Band
Reach out, I’ll be there – The Four Tops
Stand by me – Ben E. King
Looking at the final 98, I guess if I were doing it again, I'd have some agonising decisions, but I can live with this list.
