in Chit-Chat
Based upon a conversation I had with my kids this morning, I started wondering...what would you consider to be the three greatest songs of all time? Musically, lyrically, whatever criteria you choose to select "greatest" is up to you. I have so many "favorites" that it's hard for me to decide. I just want to prove to my 13 year old son that any given Lil' Wayne song probably isn't one of them. LOL! ;)

So there you go...what are your three greatest songs of all time?

    It always amazes me at the variety in tastes, some of the sounds mentioned i'd turn off if they came on the radio. And likewise I am sure for other people on my favourites
