Top 40 List of 'Songs That Changed the World'

Rolling Stone Magazine has just published its list of the Top 40 'Songs That Changed the World.'
Feel free to post your thoughts on the list...

As for my thoughts, it is hard to admit that yes, Britney Spears did change the the world in terms of music that become popular, and not necessarily for the better. And yes, it is hard to see her name on the same list as Led Zeppelin and John Lennon but these are artists that changed the face of music. However, the one glaring ommission from the list is Pink Floyd. Dark Side of the Moon was their more mainstream album that introduced a completely new sound and experience to music lovers across the Atlantic and into the US.
