(Finished March 8th, 2025) Part 5 of themusicaddict's Final Greatest Songs of All-Time

Hello,

These are my greatest songs of all-time. These are those songs that I absolutely love. I'll also be creating a second set of songs that are almost a greatest song of all-time but doesn't quite reach that rarefied air. All of these songs I've listened to hundreds of times but still can't get enough.

I've started working on several different permutations of these blogs, but this is the final blog series for this topic. I've put a lot of work into this so that it will be comprehensive, but I can also add new songs as time goes on. For instance when I started this blog series I had never heard of Chappell Roan. But now I love "Hot To Go". There will be other songs that meet this same criteria.

69) AC/DC "You Shook Me All Night Long":
