RS Mag's Top 500 Songs #341-350

341. Spirit in the Sky: Norman Greenbaum- One of the most bizarre songs ever…

342. Sweet Jane: The Velvet Underground- A rock gospel song is back to back with the Velvet Underground? Now that is funny.

343. Wild Horses: The Rolling Stones- I saw Bob Saget make fun of this song once. He is not funny.

344. Beat It: Michael Jackson- Eddie Van Halen on guitar. The one great thing about eighties music is its ability to crossover. Nowadays, it’s extremely compartmentalized and segregated.

345. Beautiful Day: U2- The world is falling apart, but it’s a beautiful day. Dark lyrics about someone whose life is falling apart. Despite this, they are happy.

346. Walk This Way: Aerosmith- Great riff, great lyrics, great song.

347. Maybe I’m Amazed: Paul McCartney- Recorded as the Beatles broke up, Paul was holding back.

348. You Keep Me Hangin’ On: The Supremes- Morse Code in a song?

349. Baba O’Riley: The Who- This is about 300 spots too low.

350. The Harder They Come: Jimmy Cliff- In between puffs of ganja, reggae artists sang happy songs of oppression and revolution.
