The list I'm going by is on a website called ranker.com Yes, there are an infinite number of websites that rank the greatest songs of all time... but we're going to go by this one because:

#12 is "Your Going To Miss Me" by "The 13th Floor Elevators"... remember me mentioning this? Have you been paying attention?

My band opened for The13th Floor Elevators back in the late 60's. So this becomes my claim to fame. laughing smiley

Now we all know Steve is going to try to top me.... not a chance in hell. "12th Best Song Of All Time"

To beat me Steve's band will have had to open for one of the following:

11. Rumble by Link Ray
10. Sh Boom
9,. Summertime Blues - Eddie Cochran
8. Good Vibrations - The Beach Boys
7. What A Wonderful World - Sam Cooke
6. Should I stay Of Should I Go - The Clash
5. Great Balls of Fire - Jerry Lee Lewis
4. On A Plain - Nirvana
3. Well All Right - Buddy Holly
2. Johnny B Good - Chuck Berry
1. Rock Around The Clock - Bill Haley and His Comets


So just a word about this list and my opinion, so no one gets confused... I think it's insane and makes no sense. There are songs in that list I like, there isn't 1 that I'd put in the top 12 of all time. - JamesJM
