"Walk On the Wild Side" is actually a 1973 song though it may have been recorded in late 1972.

[Skeletron]

Smoke on the Water? Highway Star? Snowblind? Supernaut?

Although the stones should be number 1, I’d put other songs from “exile” above tumbling dice, plus Bowie should be higher

I grew up through the Glory Years of the Rolling Stones, and honestly, I don't think they're that good. Rich. famous, etc, but not really good.

Can do without number nine and number 10

Status Quo's _Paper Plane_ needs to be in here.
