They aren't my top 100 songs. My personal top 100 songs would be a lot different. This list is that of the songs that the toribash community (or at least the representatives from it that have posted here) and I believe are the greatest songs of all time, taking into account not personal preference, but rather influence on culture, other musicians, and notable people, sales, whether it has a lasting effect, musicianship, song structure, lyrical content (if any), and sheer "wow" factor. You know, the kind that you know you got the first time you heard "A Day In the Life".
Nevertheless, it is entirely subjective, but who cares? Come on, join in the fun and help out eh?

95: Needs to be MUCH higher (I'm seeing him at the Ram's Head on August 30)
73: Johnny Cash's cover is way better than the original.
23: I don't really like the Beach Boys that much.
4: I find it lame.
1: That's where this goes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5bdxfPK46E
Also, I love Metallica too, but not in the top 100 songs of all time. They're all riff, but no philosophy.
Sad But True might scratch 107, though,
Dream theatre? Come on, they're posers. This list needs some King Crimson, though.
That's real prog.
EDIT: Changes made.
21st Century Schizoid Man by King Crimson snagged the 50 spot from Rush's Tom Sawyer
