I just can't help it, Van Morrison bores me stiff. This list is very questionable anyway. A song to be considered "important" should either be a musical landmark or have made an impact on popular culture of its time. There's no way there were 7,500 important songs in the last 50 years.

is a pretty revered guitarist, so for that alone, Van Halen is given a lot of props.

I own the previous version of the book. can you write down the entire list, so i can check the new entries?
