The Best Songs Ever Written According to Interesticle.com (Compiled From Ranker/Rolling Stone Lists)

"You'll probably get twenty different answers if you ask twenty people what the greatest song ever made is. The truth is that this is what makes music so beautiful. The ability of an amazing song to move people on a personal level is more important than what others have to say. This is a collection of songs that music critics and fans agree are the best of all time. Ranker's The Best Songs of All Time and Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time were used to compile this list. Let's get started!" - interesticle.com

note: the artists linked to these songs are the singers, not necessarily the songwriters (for example "Hound Dog" by Elvis Presley was written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller). One could say the song versions listed here are the most popular versions.
