>> 92. Chaka Khan - I Feel for You

"Tell Me Something Good" would have been a better choice, IMO.
>> 142. Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing

A classic! Knopfler's a guitarist's guitar god, and this shows his
style wonderfully, as opposed to "Money For Nothing", which is
self-referential.
>> 149. Donovan - Hurdy Gurdy Man

"Sunshine Superman" is a better song (to me), and it charted higher.
>> 164. Elton John - Bennie and the Jets

What's wrong with that one?
>> 219. Hollies - Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress)

I'd have preferred one or two of the songs from the Graham Nash era.
>> 330. Nirvana - Heart-Shaped Box

"Lithium". "Or Rape Me."
>> 352. Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

I think that's a good one.
>> 434. Smashing Pumpkins, The - 1979

"Rat In A Cage" is the obvious choice (to me).
>> 466. Tina Turner - What's Love Got to Do With It?

She deserves at least one, and this is her most famous.
>> 468. Tommy James & the Shondells - Crimson & Clover

You'd prefer "Hanky Panky", perhaps? ;-)

Raja hasn't, I'm sure.
