Re: Best song from each decade?

What's the best song from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s?
50's: "La Bamba" - Richie Valens
60's: "My Girl" - The Temptations
70's: "Let's Get It On" - Marvin Gaye
80's: "I Just Called To Say I Love You" - Stevie Wonder
90's: "Only God Can Judge Me" - Tupac
00's: Can't say; still 3 years left to go. (Although I can honestly say that so far, this decade has largely dissapointed me.)
Okay, absolutely NOT the best songs, just songs from those periods I happen to like.
30 : Strange Fruit (Billie Holiday)
40 : That lucky old sun (Louis Armstrong)
50 : Rawhide (Frankie Laine)
60 : Riders on the storm (The Doors)
70 : Mercy mercy me (Marvin Gaye)
80 : Time (Tom Waits)
90 : Democracy (Leonard Cohen)
But again, these are not the best. I wouldn't have a clue what the best songs are. There's so much choice.

70's: Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd (1st popped it's head up here, was released on single in the 80's though.)
80's: Billy Jean - Michael Jackson
90's: Paranoid Android - Radiohead
00's: The Pot - Tool (So far)
Nice looking list. Here's mine:
50s: Tutti-Frutti by Little Richard or Johnny B. Goode by Chuck Berry -Two great songs, and I refuse to decide.
60s: Suspicious Minds - Great track by The King.
70s: Bohemian Rhapsody - Come on. You know it's true.
80s: Billy Jean - one of a number of Jacko songs I could have chose.
90s: High And Dry - Again, they have a lot to choose from, but this has always been my favorite. Teardrop by Massive Attack runs it very close, though.
00s: Shadow Of The Sun - I love this track. It makes me want to run very fast.
It's Billie Jean, not Billy, you mugtards.
50s: Good Golly, Miss Molly by Little Richard.
60s: All Along the Watchtower by The Jimi Hendrix Experience.
70s: 2112 by Rush.
80s: Purple Rain by Prince & The Revolution.
90s: Midlife Crisis by Faith No More (At least right now, hard decade to choose).
00s: Wings for Marie (Pt. 1)/10,000 Days (Wings Pt. 2) by Tool.
The closest choice for me was the 90s.

Ho, sweet, I will jsut agree with 50's to 70's and will spare me some thinking. Which is good. I might have gotten a tumor or something.
80's - Heaven Knows I am Miserable Now - The Smiths
90's - Karma Police - Radiohead
00's - You have killed me - Morrissey
it's funny, I know I will hate my list the second the edit time is over.
