Considered to be The Greatest Rock band Ever, The Stones were Unapologetic and Thought Provoking singing the Lyrics to this song.
9: My Guitar Gently Weeps by The Beatles
This was solely my selection. This Band Started the British Invasion. This song is a sad song on what Could have Been and might be.
10: Hells Bells by AC/DC
The eerie Church bells make this one of the most Reconizable Songs by this Australian band. The Lyrics are even more Eerie. And true to AC/DC Form Can be Considered Controversial.
Argue away.

Yes He was a Poet.
Your Right I missed Cream. And Plenty others too. But Consider. This is also a representation of what Other People thought the Top 10 Should be. Yes I did include my Opinions in it. Yes I was the final say. If It was Me the Wall would be at the top. but 4 People Liked Stairway to Heaven. Can't argue popularity. I tried to be unbiased as possible. And It was HARD.

Are you testing us?
1. Which song, now?
2. Nothing even mentioning a wall was in Dark Side of the Moon. Hall, yes. Wall, no.
Nonetheless, good run down.

All in all it's a good list, but you're missing one of my favorites: Cream

Morrison was a poet? Drug induced gibberish at best.
