Actually, I was kinda hoping that might just sneak by in the confusion of compiling but I think you’ve blown it - damn hippies ! -

Damn, thats an eclectic list, I left off “Louie Louie” by the Kingsmen just because I didn’t know if it would qualify.

The playlist in my head at this moment includes:
Dead Kennedys-‘well paid scientist’(…stares at you from the bathroom mirror…)
Eno-‘Paw-Paw Negro Blow Torch’(my my my we’re treating each other just like strangers…)
Ween-‘Holdin’ you’ (…writhin and squealin, pukin’, lookin, for someone like you)
Johnny Cash-‘Drive on’(don’t mean nothin…)
Rolling Stones-‘Memo from Turner’(…tubes of plasticon)
Jason and the Scorchers-‘Both Sides of the Line’ (…but watch his feet fly as they come to try to take his old bones away…)
English Beat-‘Over and out’(pushes your dead body under the microscope, over and over it’s over it’s over and OUT)
ClashSomebody Got Murdered (…goodbye, for keeps, forever…)
Lucinda Williams-‘Concrete and Barbed Wire’(these walls are not real, how can they be real, they’re only made of concrete…)
Talking Heads-‘The Big Country’ (…and I see the parkway that passes throught them all…)
Dragon, let me make a suggestion… If you do compile these, just count the raw votes; don’t weigh them from 1 to 10 points cuz it’ll throw things off. I mean, if two people put “Ice Ice Baby” as their number one song, and 15 put “September Gurls” as number 10, according to your system, Vanilla Ice would be a full five points ahead of Big Star.
Besides that, I don’t think most of us are really placing them in any order, anyhow.
Just my 2 pence.
I’m cheating.
Time, Pink Floyd
Stairway to Heaven, Led Zepplin
Whole Lotta Love, Led Zepplin

I think this is a good reason not to play games that involve points on the SDMB.
I like the suggestion to give all mentioned titles one point. However, as someone pointed out along the way, it does not seem to converge to a list as there are very few songs mentioned more than once. If that does not change, we can forget about compiling altogether. Oh well, it made people think about music and it is interesting to see other peoples preferences.
