Rolling Stone mag nowadays is about as germane as..... zzzzzzz...
Sorry, nodded off there. That's how strongly they hold my interest anymore.
But still, a fun passtime, so I'll bite. Here's 10 I pulled off the top of my head:
-- "Rock Around the Clock," by Bill Haley and the Comets: Honestly people, is this that hard?
-- "Radio Free Europe," by R.E.M.: semi-officially introduced the college radio scene to the rest of us
-- "Rock Lobster," by the B-52's: from the album that inspired John Lennon to get back into the studio to record Double Fantasy
-- "Head Like a Hole," by Nine Inch Nails: adds Angst as a silent partner to Sex, Drugs, & Rock 'n Roll
-- "Stayin' Alive," by the Bee Gees: on the downside, they brought us John Travolta
-- "Born to be Wild," by Steppenwolf: Heavy Metal is born
-- "Enter Sandman," by Metallica: Metal goes mainstream
-- "Another Brick in the Wall," by Pink Floyd: from the mother of all concept albums
-- "Sexual Harrassment in the Workplace," by Frank Zappa: the birth (re-birth) of the nerd guitar god
-- "Caring is Creepy," by The Shins: this song will change your life! ;-)
