No Bob Dylan? Surely there can't be a list like this without him?!? A good list apart from that though...

Last's years placed like this...

1st - Baba O Reilly - The Who
2nd - Hey Jude - The Beatles
3rd - Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

4th - Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley
Everybody Hurts - REM
A Day in the life - The Beatles
With or Withou You - U2
Imagine - John Lennon
November Rain - Guns N Roses
Love will tear us apart - Joy Division
How Soon Is Now? - The Smiths
That's Entertainment - The Jam
Echoes - Pink Floyd
14th - Fake Plastic Trees - Radiohead

So was very suprised (Hey Jude, Hallelujah, Imagine) didn't make it as they all made the Top 10 last year, but have some good replacements with (Waterloo Sunset, Stairway to heaven, Eleanor Rigby etc)

Overall decent list, but could have done with a lot more 90's/00's...

This leaves four songs:

- Every Breath You Take - The Police
- Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin
- There is a light that never goes out - The Smiths


Two songs are safe, and two songs have polled the lowest number of votes.....

The last two songs safely through to the Top 13 are...
