    Default Re: The top 15 greatest songs of all time.

    uhh, way too hard. when i get tired of a given song on my playlist it gets moved down the list, so this is always shuffling around. sometimes hendrix is up there, stairway to heaven, some classical, beatles, etc, etc.

    i found one interesting thing recently in a local wal mart i buying music at; they had NO folk songs at all, other than a few in 'collection' cd's. what happened to folk? i also couldnt find any using peer to peer stuff. did folk music just fall of the face of the earth and someone not tell me about it?

    Well I never buy my music at wal mart anyway. I try and buy it at a small used record store near buy.
    And by folk do you mean Dylan? I've never really gotten a deffinetive deffinition of folk from anyone...

    @Kraellin: Might wanna try out SecondSpin .

    They have a pretty sweet selection. Might uncover the hard to find ones you are looking for.

    @Topic: Top 15 songs is fairly tough!!!
