  • What about...

    Well their list seems fine to me as far as it goes… Briteny and the White Stripes? But then I looked at the title of the list again and thought “Changed the World”?... “Nothing But A “G” Thang”….

    So where is Louis Armstrong, or W.C. Handy? How about the Marseillaise, or “Dixie” or the “Battle Hymn of the Republic” or “Amazing Grace”? How about “We Shall Overcome” or for that matter, Hank Williams “Cold, Cold Heart”? Heck I think I could make an argument for “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” by everyone’s Mom. Maybe I'm coming at this from a different angle.

    What Fun, thanks for the diversion.

    PS What about GMF's "The Message" instead of "Rappers Delight"?

    Cheers
