January 31Jan 31 the Kinks - "You Really Got Me" is a glaring omission.I considered this one. But then again I was struggling to have my list cover a cross section of the rock era and not just the 60s. You could probably make a legit top ten from just that decade. Hell you could probably make a legit argument for 10 from the early 60s and 10 from the later 60s. Sort of crossing the Mad Men divide if you will.

Are you sure you want to include Mean Streets on that list? It's so much newer than the rest of the music; maybe it needs to age-up a little to make sure it stands the test of time.
