Top 12 songs of all time

On our recent car vacation to New England I had my iPod on random play through my entire (digital) music collection so heard a variety of songs.  Since returning to DC I've stayed on random play and have now come up with my latest top 12 list of the best songs of all time (Athan Manuel edition).

In no order, here goes:

• Roll Over Beethoven, Chuck Berry (also my vote for the U.S.'s national anthem)
• Debaser, The Pixies
• Tears of a Clown, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles
• What's So Funny About Peace, Love and Understanding, Elvis Costello
• I Will Dare, The Replacements
• Superbad, James Brown
• Road Runner, The Modern Lovers
• Once in a Lifetime, Talking Heads
• Fisherman's Blues, The Waterboys
• Take Me to the River, Al Green 
• Heatwave, Martha and the Vandellas
