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.)

What decade was wonderwall? 90's or 00's?

90's

50's: Really can't say... Possibly some of Presley's stuff.

60's: Let it Be - The Beatles

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)

Well, let it be was from 1970.

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.

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.
