Ms. Jackson is one of Outkast’s best-known songs and also one of their most creative. It helped their Stankonia album become one of their best-sellers and won the duo a Grammy Award, BET Award, and MTV Video Music Award.
Country songs don’t particularly have a lot of representation on this list, but it’s impossible to deny a legend like George Jones. He Stopped Loving Her Todayis often considered one of, if not, the greatest country track of all time. It also re-entered the charts after his death in 2013, 34 years after its initial recording.
What’s Love Got To Do With Itwas Tina Turner’s one and only number-one single on the Hot 100. In 1984, it was the second best-selling single of the year in the US and won three Grammy Awards for her.
Journey’s Don’t Stop Believin’ remains one of the most iconic rock songs of all timethrough today and makes for some compelling karaoke. It was a massive hit upon release and has remained relevant across the decades, becoming one of the most well-known tracks of all time.
Kashmirwas everything great about Led Zeppelin wrapped into a single song. A concert staple for them, it was one of their most progressive epics and was performed at every single one of their concerts after it was released to the public.
Waterfalls was written for TLC’s CrazySexyCoolalbum in 1994 and eventually turned into their signature song. One of the greatest girl-group singles of all time, and an embodiment of the 1990s, it’s gone down in history as one of the most popular tracks of all time.
At Last was written for the musical film Sun Valley Serenade in 1941, but it was Etta James’ cover version of the track in 1960 that was arranged into an R&B song that made it wildly popular. It served as the title track of her debut album that year and was eventually inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
Losing My Religion was the first single released from R.E.M.’s 1991 album Out Of Timeand was a surprise hit for them. Built on a mandolin riff rather than a guitar, it ended up receiving extensive airplay on radio and television, turning it into their highest-charting single in the US and winning two Grammy Awards in the process.
Sympathy For The Devil is one of The Rolling Stone’s songs that earned the most critical acclaim in their star-studded discography. It was the opening track of their 1968 album Beggars Banquetand essentially took on the perspective of the literal devil for the duration of the track. Interestingly, it’s one that still finds radio airplay on modern r...
Jay-Z is easily one of the greatest rappers of all time, but even he has had to deal with rap critics during his career. The track 99 Problems was his response to those critics, police using racial profiling, and the threats he received during that time. The hook was actually taken from an Ice-T single of the same name from the 1993 album Home Inva...
