ConsequenceOfSound.netWhat are the greatest songs ever?  Well, that's all subjective, but the influential music blog Consequence of Sound has taken a stab at making a list of them in honor of its fifth anniversary. 

Landing at #1 on the blog's eclectic "Top 100 Greatest Songs Ever" list is the 1966 Beach Boys gem "God Only Knows."  Also finishing in the upper reaches of the tally are Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone" at #3, Michael Jackson's "Man in the Mirror" at #4, The Beatles' "A Day in the Life" at #5, The Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil" at #7 and Aretha Franklin's "Respect" at #8.
