"In a worldwide poll conducted in 66 nations and translated into 20 different languages, the ten greatest songs ever writtenwere determined. The individual results were combined in order to discover the global favourites, which reveal some startling results. The top ten are:
1) We Are The Champions - Queen
2) Toxic - Britney Spears
3) Billie Jean - Michael Jackson
4) Hotel California - The Eagles
5) La Tortura - Shakira
6) Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana
7) Yesterday - The Beatles
8) One - U2
9) Imagine - John Lennon
10) Sultans Of Swing - Dire Straits"

I don't agree with some of these results. I thought it was interesting though, so what do you guys think...?

Bohemian Rhapsody is missing.

The poll would be better done over a few years/generations. We wouldn't get crappy fad songs like Toxic - Britney Spears and
La Tortura - Shakira, but rather a sampling of the "best" songs ever written as decided by more people than the ones from 2005.

Bohemian Rhapsody is the greatest. Queen should have had 1 & 2... and ousted Toxic completely.

That list is a joke... it's realist as a "people's favorite songs as of today", but they can't present that as a "Greatest Songs Ever Written" (i.e. Greatest Song Lyrics) seriously

La Tortura? TOXIC?? You can love or hate Shakira's and Britney's music, but both are just recent promotional singles, they can't be second and 5th in a best song of all times list

What is the world coming to when La Tortura and Toxic make it on the worlds greatest songs list? There isnt a single ounce of meaning in Toxic, not to mention the whole song chanted, which I can do.

that list is so...well umm

i think i like the rolling stone one better it is a bit more broad and a lil more correct i feel..and B'spears and shak..dont deserve a mention..

Greenday - Good Riddance (Time if your life)

Best Song Ever

I don't see why Britney Spears is there either, the rest of them really deserve it though... Most people have heard all of those songs .

music is a question of opinion... there is no "best song in the world" ¬¬

well i suppose you could base it on the amount it has sold, and other factors like that, but i can see what you mean...

"'Oh come on, Bill, they're the New Kids, don't pick on them, they're so good and they're so clean cut and they're such a good image for the children.' Fuck that. When did mediocrity and banality become a good image for your children? I want my children to listen to people who fucking rocked. I don't care if they died in puddles of their own vomit. I want someone who plays from his fucking heart." - Bill Hicks

It is not possible to have a list of songs that are the greatest of all time because the list would be to long you have to cover al genres so pick a set number of great songs from each genre and compile your list from that.
