Any attempt to pick a "top song" or even a "top 10 songs" is meaningless. There are just too many subjective tastes in music out there and too many songs - hundreds of thousands of them - to choose from.

It is amusing however to see the songs that ultimately get picked from these surveys. "We Don't Talk Anymore" by Cliff Richard from 1979 as top song ever in Europe? I just don't understand. It was a decent enough tune and even made the top 10 here in the USA. But I just don't see how it could be voted the best song ever.

BTW, Joan Jett, and not Britney Spears, recorded "I Love Rock & Roll." It was a number one hit in 1982.

Believe it or not, Britney really did cover it not too long ago.

No, you don't want to hear it.

I knew that, but was curious enough to do a quick Google search. Sure enough - Britney recently released her own cover of that tune.
