My ballot<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“American Pie” – Don McLean
\n“Bohemian Rhapsody” – Queen
\n“Hey Ya” – Outkast
\n“London Calling” – The Clash
\n“Nuthin But a G Thang” – Dr. Dre & Snoop Doggy Dogg
\n“Respect” – Aretha Franklin
\n“Purple Rain” – Prince
\n“Smells Like Teen Spirit” – Nirvana
\n“Stairway to Heaven” – Led Zeppelin
\n“Welcome to the Jungle” – Guns N Roses<\/p>\n

I think Prince – who had to be on the ballot in some way – should have been represented by either “Kiss” (his best song and one of the most-covered songs of the last thirty years) or “When Doves Cry” (probably more iconic than “Kiss”), both of which hit #1 in the U.S.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
