Picking my best songs of all-time happened to be a difficult task.
My first go at it resulted in the next list:

  1. Summer in the city - Lovin' Spoonful, 1966
  2. Fool on the hill - The Beatles, 1967
  3. It's all over now - The Rolling Stones, 1964
  4. Boom boom - John Lee Hooker, 1961
  5. Itchycoo Park - The Small Faces, 1967
  6. The beat goes on - Sonny & Cher
  7. The happening - The Supremes, 1967
  8. Who'll stop the rain - Creedence Clearwater Revival, 1970
  9. You really got me - The Kinks, 1964
  10. Little sister - Elvis Presley, 1962


Two days later I wrote down the following list (without having consulted the previous one):

  1. Lazy Sunday - The Small Faces, 1968
  2. bad moon rising - Creedence Clearwater Revival, 1969
  3. Great balls of fire - Jerry Lee Lewis, 1957
  4. Georgia on my mind - Ray Charles, 1960
  5. The letter - The Box Tops, 1967
  6. I'd rather go blind - Chicken Shack, 1969
  7. Mr. Tambourine Man - The Byrds, 1965
  8. Eleanor Rigby - The Beatles, 1966
  9. My generation - The Who, 1965
  10. I never loved a man - Aretha Franklin, 1966


When I visited in bar a week later I heard a great  song. I wrote down this top-10 on a piece of paper:

  1. All I have to do is dream - The Everly Brothers, 1958
  2. Baby what you want me to do - Jimmy Reed, 1960
  3. Be-bop-a-lula - Gene Vincent, 1956
  4. No particular place to go - Chuck Berry, 1961
  5. It's a beautiful day today - Moby Grape, 1967
  6. Son of a preacher man - Dusty Springfield, 1968
  7. All along the watchtower - Jimi Hendrix, 1967
  8. Last train to Clarkesville - The Monkees, 1966
  9. Here comes the night- Them, 1966
  10. Venus - Shocking Blue, 1969


And the next ten also sound reasonable to me:

  1. Help me - Sonny Boy Williamson, 1953
  2. Stormy Monday - T-Bone Walker, 1946
  3. Spoonful - Howlin' Wolf, 1952
  4. Dust my broom - Elmore James, 1952
  5. My baby - Little Walter, 1959
  6. So many roads - Otis Rush, 1958
  7. My time after a while - Buddy Guy, 1961
  8. Hoochie coochie man - Muddy Waters, 1956
  9. As the years go pasing by - Albert King, 1962
  10. Wang dang doodle - Koko Taylor, 1963

All American, all black, all BLUES.
