En 50-i-topp-lista

Här listar jag tidernas 50 bästa låtar inom pop/rock - enligt mig - i dag. I nästa vecka skulle jag kanske göra listan annorlunda. Här och nu helt i alfabetisk ordning efter exekutör/-er.
Premiss 1: varje grupp/artist får bara förekomma 1 gång. 
(Annars hade jag haft med flera låtar med Cohen, Dylan, Sp
ringsteen med flera.)
Premiss 2: det får vara original och covers om vartannat.
(Och här förutsätter jag, att ingen tror exempelvis att Jimi Hendrix gjorde originalet till "All along the watchtower".)
