There are a few reasons I made this video.
Several people have said it's not fair to list classical along with modern music. They're right. Classical music is in a league of its own, and it wouldn't be fair to put it in the same list as modern music.
Also, I've added some new songs and artists that were omitted in my last list. This list is ever evolving, and now it's representing a bit more genres than before (and for those who plan to complain about the lack of hip-hop/rap, just because they're not on the list, don't think they weren't considered).
Finally, you'll notice that the numbers are gone. I realized quickly that there is no definitive greatest song ever. So think of these 50 as a list of nominees played in RANDOM order.

like a rolling stone should have been in front of michael jackson. and thats my opinion. to me, bob dylan had a bigger experence on american music. not that M.J didnt, i just think since bob started in 63, wayy befor mj, he had more time ti write great music. personally, i dont like M.Js music. but i do think it had a smaller impact on america.
and sorry for putting this out in the blue.
