How about Hallelujah? Polybius Sep 2021 #200

They put Cohen's version on the list AZSkiffyGeek Sep 2021 #202

I meant in the top 20 Polybius Sep 2021 #204

"Work It" by Missy was 1,000 times better Polybius Sep 2021 #199

Boy. Did Rolling Stone blow that, or what? BComplex Sep 2021 #5

I'd agree that "Respect" and "Gimme Shelter" probably belong in the top 20. Doubts about highplainsdem Sep 2021 #11
