INCLUDES
Take a Look at the 52 Greatest Songs of All Time
A few years ago, Rolling Stone Magazine
compiled a list of the 500 Great Songs of All Time. It is an interesting
list to say the least. And although we don't agree with all of their
choices, their is no doubt most of the songs on the list are great songs
written by solid songwriters.
We have included the top 52 songs from that
list in The Songwriter's Journal. Included are song title, position on the
list, original performers, the date it was released and names of the
songwriters.
We also included a few lines from the song
and some facts about the song that most people are unaware of.

Here is an example of one of the songs
included on Rolling Stone magazine's list that you will find in The Songwriter's
Journal:
Song #13 on Rolling
Stone Magazine's list
YESTERDAY (The Beatles) 1965
(Songwriters: Lennon/McCartney)
A FEW LINES: “Yesterday. / All my
troubles seemed so far away. / Now it feels as though they're here to
stay. / Oh I believe in yesterday.”
DID YOU KNOW... The working title to this hit was Scrambled
Eggs. It was the first Beatles’ tune to feature only one band
member (Paul McCartney) and was actually vetoed by the other three
members of the group for release in the U.K. as a single for that
reason. (It was finally released there in 1976.)
