What is *your* "song that changed the world"?
Edited on Sun Aug-07-05 07:31 AM by underpants
This says it is "Like a Rolling Stone" okay I can see that ("Heartbreak Hotel"???)

For me there are two.

"Radio Free Europe" -There IS music out there!!!! (actually for me, an REM nut, it was "Driver 8")

"Smells Like Teen Spirit"- not only one of the funniest song titles ever but again ---There IS music out there!!!! -- after a long decade of hair and horrible horrible covers of cover bands. I was in the Army when Nirvana actually popped onto the national radar screens (we knew about them before) and a friend of mine told me something that cracks me up to this day...... on the RAWK station in our area (FM99) they played that as he was driving to work. He let out a "THANK GOD!!!!!!"

And the song that changed the world is...

LONDON (Reuters) - Bob Dylan's song "Like a Rolling Stone" topped a poll Friday to find the 100 songs, movies, TV shows and books that "changed the world" in the opinion of musicians, actors and industry experts.

1. Imagine
I don't know if any song has actually ever changed the world, but if one could, I'd choose that one.

Either that, of that Ween song about daisies. :evilgrin:

2. I love this one by Wynonna Judd
If I could reach the stars
I'd pull one down for you
Shine it on my heart, so you could see the truth
That this love inside, is everything it seems
But for now I find, it's only in my dreams

That I can change the world
I would be the sunlight in your universe
You would think my love was somethin' good
Baby, if I could change the world

If I could be a queen, even for a day
I'd take you as my king, I'd have it no other way
And our love would rule, in this kingdom that we made
'Til then I'll be a fool, wishin' for the day
