Imho those lists are not to be taken seriously, they reflect the opinion of
a group of people very small to be of any significance. Any of us could
easy compile a list of 100 (1000?) "how could they forget to include (yada
yada)" songs (Neil's and many other artists') that didn't make the "top 1000".
Anyway, here are the Neil songs included and their position in the "top
1000" chart:
17 The Needle & Damage Done
65 Southern Man
105 Rockin' in the Free World
201 Cinnamon Girl
226 Mansion on The Hill
237 Ohio
281 Old Man
304 Long May You Run
368 Hey Hey
478 Alabama
514 Crime in The City
585 The Loner
597 Walk On
659 Heart of Gold
670 Cortez the Killer
766 Sugar Mountain
871 Downtown
942 Don't Let it Bring You Down
18 in 1000... Then Neil songs correspond to 1.8 % of the best 1000 rock
songs ever written? Yeah, right... By the way, where's "Like a Hurricane"
and "Cowgirl in the Sand"? And how come the only #1 Neil song ever, HoG, is
almost a 100 positions below a very little known song (Walk On) from an
album that is not even available? Go figure...

Here's a link I found for a local radio station. It's not surprising
what made #1. But its interesting Neil Content. I'm sure everyone on
this list wouldn't list what they had under Neil's name(well at least
one). By the way what came in at #605? Also, how do these lists get
put together? Anyone know?
For all those who dont scan the list Hey, Hey, although a good song,
made the list in 300's while Cortez made the list in the 600's.
Somewhat of a shock I'd say. The again, to each his/her own.
