481. Crazy In Love (2003)Beyonce (feat. Jay-Z)With its iconic intro, this song could credibly lay claim to being one of the best modern pop songs. I'll leave y'all with that one for tonight. Classics from Billy Joel and Ice Cube are coming at you soon. ;)

"You Oughta Know"! So amazing. "Crazy In Love" is decent but oh so overrated. I love Ugly Kid Joe's cover of "Cat's In The Cradle" if that's anything.

475. Back On The Chain Gang (1982)The PretendersChrissie Hynde mixed punk and pop music amazingly with her voice alone. This is the Pretenders' exemplary song, in my opinion.

471. Maggie's Farm (1965)Bob DylanWhile this song seemed like a protest song, it was actually a protest against protest music. Confused?

466. Wonderful Tonight (1977)Eric ClaptonClapton's guitar solo and weary vocals turned this song into one of the greatest love songs ever. On the way- MGMT, Alice Cooper and The O'Jays, among many others. :)

463. Sledgehammer (1986) Peter Gabriel
A list of sexual innuendos with a piccolo solo kicking it off. The song has been overshadowed by its famous music video, but it remains one of Gabriel's greatest songwriting achievements (in his pop music career).

461. Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is A Season) (1965)The ByrdsThe song set Biblical verses to music as a call for world peace. On a side note, this is the first of two songs on the list to use Bible passages in its lyrics.

459. Just The Way You Are (1977) Billy Joel
A melancholy, subdued love song with relatable, real-world lyrics that set it apart from the schmaltz of 1970s soft rock. A pleasure to listen to to this day.
