    Cant help but to notice that MOST of the songs listed are from long ago! Just goes to show how BAD music is today compared to those times

    I hate to say "these kids today", but the music they are growing up listening too can never compare to the 70/80s music!

    You know how we always seem to have some sort of deep appreciation for the music our parents listened to? It always makes me wonder.... when this decade is just a thing of history... what bands are our children going to recall as "classics"

    It is a slight shudder at the thought. However I do appreciate Lady Gaga somewhat.

    I can't make up my mind about 2 and 3, but #1 is Hey Jude by the Beatles. Greatest song ever written- it's the perfect example of a perfect song.

    I have a hard time with songs, since what I think is best changes with my moods. However, I have no doubt about the greatest film scores ever written (IMO).

    Star Wars and Lord of the Rings (can't choose between the two)

    Other great ones include:
    How to Train Your Dragon
    Star Trek (the new one)
    The Magnificent Seven
