Together, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) selected the top 365 songs of the 20th century.  Here are the top ten. 

1.) "Over the Rainbow"  Judy Garland
2.) "White Christmas"  Bing Crosby
3.) "This Land is Your Land"  Woody Guthrie
4.) "RESPECT"  Aretha Franklin
5.) "American Pie"  Don McLean
6.) "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy"  The Andrew Sisters
7.) "West Side Story" (Album)  Original cast
8.) "Take Me Out to the Ball Game"  Bill Murray
9.) "You've Lost that Lovin' Feelin'" The Righteous Brothers
10.) "The Entertainer"  Scott Joplin

The complete list of 365 songs can be found at www.celebrity-websites.com/topsongsof20thcentury.htm
Since I lived more than half of the 20th century, I have no problem with the list.  My guess is that the younger you are, the more likely you would be to think it is whacko.
